In fact, he says he didn't start telling people who he really was until this past spring and, even then, he preferred to communicate through more detached mediums like email.
Given his past, it's understandable why Hickland is only now beginning to feel more empowered within his brand. As many a burgeoning online creative has experienced, visibility can be a double-edged sword — one that couples the joy of community and interacting with others with things like intense negativity, the threat of having your life ruined by doxxers, or the constant paranoia of potentially being haunted by an absentminded post.
A fraternity brother himself, Hickland — whose legal first name is David — was involved in Texas State's student judicial board, the Greek life programming board, and the Interfraternity Council's Executive Board. But in fall 2016, a young woman ended up dying at a Halloween party thrown by four on-campus fraternities, and their chapters were promptly kicked off campus.
And that would've been one thing if he wasn't a public figure on-campus,"but I basically had to do this all as president, so I couldn't step down or even say anything about it." And while the student who circulated those disturbing messages ended up being removed from his student government position and losing his internship, Hickland obviously still can't help but feel upset at the way this entire incident has affected his general outlook on things.
Thankfully, @EmoBlackThot has experienced relatively smooth sailing since its inception, which has also helped Hickland feel a little more empowered within his online persona. This begs the question, following Hickland's reveal: what's next for him?
emoblackthot mane delete this bullshit
emoblackthot Y’all know this is horse shit and you’re reposing it for clicks. He apologized for being anonymous, not for being a scammer. And y’all are helping him. Cool.

Can yall drop the percentage of black women working at Paper mag so we can double confirm why it makes sense that yall would be the ones to support this
emoblackthot nope
emoblackthot no just no :/
emoblackthot A must-read thread if you want to better understand the complex potential cultural harm. Black women, even if you're a Black man, aren't costumes and especially not costumes for profit. I hope Isiah grows from this.
Lying for clout is not a noble or regal move. This is not a king's move at all. This was a disgusting misuse of trust. Black women are not costumes. Stop uplifting this story
emoblackthot Nope.
