X Communities / Xitter Communities / Twitter Communities / _twt - A sub-set of communities that exist on X, Formerly known as Twitter that revolve around grooming, drug abuse, and lolicon
Majority of them don't. I think most common reason would be something among the lines of punishment from what I've seen. Not that hard to hurt yourself when you hate yourself.
It's really fucked, because if I was on the Internet slightly younger than I was, I can see myself becoming enamored with this community. I can understand why they do it. Cutting to expose the fat really disturbs me though; you definitely need stitches for that kind of wound right? These poor kids... I have cousins this age... maybe I should talk to them more.
Honestly probably also how it starts for some, I remember a lot of guys burning their arm hair as a... challenge? Trend? Whatever you want to call it. I recall that salt + ice trend too, been kind of a lot of challenged that are borderline gateways into self harm actually.
The way shtwt romanticises it is so fucked, I remember seeing an alleged 12 year old posting about hard drugs and self harm and them having a shit ton of followers. That was one of the most depressing things. Other than that a lot of kids throwing "Cutspo! So pretty uwu" at each other and discussing tools you can cut yourself with. I know it leaks into the reviews on amazon and aliexpress for said tools too. Honestly just don't let your kids go on twitter, there's nothing there for them anyway.
Kids aside though I have encountered some mildly cow-like behaviour here and there but not really anything more amusing than it was depressing.
Technically yes, medical professionals suggest gaping wounds (regardless of depth) and anything deeper than the dermis to be closed. Realistically though? Bodies are incredible at healing. Even wounds reaching the muscle (or bone) can be healed at home with basic medical supplies, reasonably frequent wound care, and a shitton of luck.
Other than infections, the main issues with not getting medical attention are inconsistent scarring looking ugly (usually not a concern for cutters) and scar shrinkage that can inhibit full range of movement. Most cutters aren't aiming for joints though, so even that isn't a big concern to a lot of people.
n1nathekiller was one of the users actively organizing harassment campaigns against Bx in the SHEDtwt community until she got suspended. She returned as EJofshedtwt and runs a small self harm community Slitter twitter : P (of course totally not about glorifying self harm)
I believe she already posted something about being taken into care or needing medical treatment not too long ago. Now she needed another ambulance ride and kept posting to her self harm community from the hospital, discussing her medical report, vaping and outfit, among other things. Hospital staff writes that she is talking in strange accents and intonations that might have come from the media, another sign this girl is probably highly susceptible to outside influences (see also: pronouns, ED info and DID system). For now, it ends with her being disappointed as the doctor tells her the cuts are not deep.
Medical report:
"She vaped throughout the assessment"
"Speech & Language: normal rate and constant but speaks with variation in pitch, intonation and accents that have potentially been picked up by the media"
Just another day of young people sharing harmful, disturbing content on shtwt...
Par for the course. Mutual posted a diagram of the skin layers and got a ton of shit for criticising the use of "styro" "yeet" and all those retarded terms. Kids were mad.
If it helps any, quite high likelihood that most of these kids will grow out of this shit, look back on it in their twenties and cringe real hard.
A giant shame this thread isn't more active, there's a lot of milk here. Going through some of the hashtags and I've found a chart for the self-harm lingo, the way these people make cutesy "debut" posts is very off-putting.
There's the sh/ana-chan thread now that somewhat involves some edtwt/shtwt things. The lingo is so cringe. I get 70% is just stupid kids being fucking stupid . It's gross how crazy romanticised they make self harm. I do feel (or maybe it's just misplaced hope, idk) a large percentage of them are just kids that grow out of it
Worst part is there are people congratulating her on it, there's even one faggot who called it "Kawaii".
I think she's mainland Chinese, since she talks about using WeChat, autotranslated this with a browser extension.
Picture of her face. The cognitive dissonance of all this cutesy bullshit combined with the images of people cutting themselves is an absolute epidemic, and it's not even the first time I've seen it. On the English side of the internet you have shit like r/sillyboyclub which I've posted about in the Pooner thread below, never believe anyone who tells you there isn't a mental health crisis going on.
I just came across this 100k+ member subreddit in the wild called "r/sillyboyclub", I'm not sure if it's explicitly pooner related but it definitely feels tranny/pooner-adjacent because of all the mental illness shit and one of the pinned posts from February of 2025 talking about le evil trump erasing transpipo. I'm not sure how to even describe it, so I'll just let the images speak for themselves because there is some wild cognitive dissonance here.
And by the way, this is one of two pinned...
16 year old pooner, the youngest genderspecial I've ever seen using one of these hashtags was a 14 self-described "tranny" which I assume is MtF, but I've seen kids as young as 13 if their "debut" posts are to be believed. A A
Some highlighted tweets:
A Discord addict, a tale as old as time. A
Predictably lives with her parents, I believe styro is their slang for cutting down into the dermis. A
Her Discord. A
Her strawpage, Roblox being on there is not surprising to be honest. A
Additionally, Archive.today and Ghostarchive are being absolute bitches when it comes to using them, whether it be getting 403'd, filtered by JavaScript, taking too long, or just plain not archiving the page despite me being able to load it live. Suggestions for reliable archival tools would be appreciated.
A YouTuber named "vplasma" made a video a few days ago about SHTWT, the people actually watching it seem to be primarily members of SHTWT themselves, if the comments are to be believed.
For clarification, I haven't watched the video yet but I did attempt to join his Discord server. He seems to have made a channel for new members to chat in before getting access to the rest of the server after making the video, but you need to have a phone number linked to your Discord account and considering the fact that I do not have impossibly large amounts of semen pouring out of my mouth, I am unfortunately unable to chat and access the rest of the server. It also seems he has some sort of script active that kicks you after a certain period of time has passed without you chatting.
Josh's site is currently shitting itself, so no local archive. Preservetube
Screenshots of the comment section:
Seems like most of it is them saying that it's "normaltwt" that encourage people to actively harm themselves, also doesn't seem to be the first time they've been covered considering that one comment talking about how they "breached containment again".
What I meant when I said shitting itself, you can upload the video but it won't actually be playable or downloadable on the user's end. Will probably get fixed when Josh installs the new disks, though.
Second Chink I've come across, not sure if mainland Chinese (Maybe? References WeChat and a bunch of other Zipperhead websites). What makes her notable is her saying that noone is allowed to share her posts, or not on any "domestic" (Presumably PRC) social media apps, and that last image which she retweeted being particularly fucked up. Other than that, nothing more besides nasty scars, the Chinese side of SHTWT seems much more brutal than the English side for some reason, a Chinese member of the forum could probably explain why.

I'm not too sure if Megalodon is dependable since they're based out of Japan and don't have the same protections as US or Russian based sites, but it works like a charm unlike GhostArchive and archive.today so it'll do for now.
I think it's generally just cause Asia has more of a cute aesthetic culture and mentally ill kids love that mixed in with their mental illness shit.
If It's fucked up shit you're after I imagine you'd find some searching shit under cutspo or the layer specific terms (like fasciatwt iirc)
It's meant to be "ironic." Being cute and destroying your body. At the same time, a lot of the aesthetic was stolen from DDLG (daddy dom little girl) fetish culture because of it's pseudo-pedophilic undertones. You'll see a lot of them claiming to be CNC (consensual non-consensual) too because "lol being freeuse and getting raped by strangers is cool."
At the end of the day, these people need serious psychiatric help because the community they've chosen has become their identity and that identity is toxic and seriously sick. They don't seem to realize it's all passive grooming with hello kitty stickers.
Well, it didn't take long but I've come across a "radqueer" on SHTWT. For the uninitiated, radqueer is short for radical queer, essentially they push zoophilia, pedophilia, and necrophilia under the guise of fag rights. Predictably, these people are either mentally ill or incredibly depraved as evidenced by our own thread here on the Farms, and while they do congregate mainly on Mastodon instances, it was rather surprising to see one out in the wild on Xitter. The Zeta letter in "Zooey" is used primarily by zoophiles to indicate that they fuck animals. A, full first page on Nitter
This person is clearly very mentally ill, as they identify as being "transage 20", which is essentially ageplay. The only time you see 18+ paraphiles identify as "transage" it's when they went to ageplay as toddlers or children, but since this person is identifying as 20 it's likely they are a minor. Additionally, they state they're into "ABDL", "TBDL" and are a babyfur, which stand for adult/teen baby diaper lover and being attracted to furry "cubs" in diapers respectively. I don't know what "poly Iesboy" means however.
For more evidence that they're a minor, they have "I miss my online groomer" on their strawpage. A, attachments bugged out on GhostArchive for some reason. archive.today, includes background.
Some choice tweets:

Some sort of... "Amanda the Adventurer" porn thing? I think Amanda the Adventurer is some indie horror game. It's so crude I can't make out what it is but If I had to guess, it would be a dog's penis. I initially posted this uncensored but then edited the post to include a censored version, can't be too careful when I'm my brother's keeper.
GhostArchive seems to be missing some Tweets on the first page including the last one, so here's an alternate Megalodon archive.
