Lee was born on January 8th 1995 and lives in Ontario, Canada. According to him, when he was in Special Education in high school he saw another student watching Barney and Friends in two hours blocks every day while he was watching other things on a smart board. This greatly damaged Lee and caused him to associate various other things he was watching with Barney. An example of such thing which he gives in his manifesto<ref>https://archive.is/9LiN9</ref> is his formerly favorite band Pink Floyd which he can no longer tolerate. | Lee was born on January 8th 1995 and lives in Ontario, Canada.

It's an image of a Treehouse TV airing schedule that shows MLP airing right after Barney and Friends, meant to imply that MLP is on the same level as Barney, which he despises.

'''Leebait''' is a type of image, gif or video created to bait Lee into spamming a thread without blatantly posting MLP content as to not get banned for violating Global Rule 15. Most commonly leebait is made by hiding MLP imagery in gifs so it only shows after waiting for a bit, putting very small ponies you wouldn't notice right away in regular images, or cropping brony fanart. The average person typically has no way of knowing an anime girl was actually cropped from a piece of art that has a pony in it, but lee often discovers that's the case using reverse image searching bots and than calls the leebaiter out by linking the full image on derpibooru in his posts. One of the most famous forms of leebaiting involves putting the bait in Pepe the Frog's pupils. Another well known piece of leebait is a cropped image of Homer from The Simpsons saying "Marge, i'm confused" or just "i'm confused", cropped from a brony meme.<ref>https://derpibooru.org/2217720</ref> | '''Leebait''' is a type of image, gif or video created to bait Lee into spamming a thread without blatantly posting MLP content as to not get banned for violating Global Rule 15.

Leebaiting is most commonly done to troll, but at the height of Lee's career he was so persistent in spamming and evading bans that leebaiting became a powerful tool for ruining threads you don't like. Simply post an innocent looking image that was secretly cropped from brony fanart, and within the hour Lee will descend down from the heavens with a trillion proxy IPs at his side to stomp that thread into the ground. It's possibly for this reason that leebaiting can result in a 3-30 day ban for "barneyfag bullshit". | Leebaiting is most commonly done to troll, but at the height of Lee's career he was so persistent in spamming and evading bans that leebaiting became a powerful tool for ruining threads you don't like.

It is unknown whether or not Lee himself is still posting on 4chan. | It is unknown whether or not Lee himself is still posting on 4chan. Some speculate that Lee's appearances after the dox (which are fewer than they used to be) are actually bots or other posters pretending to be him due to his legendary status, or even that the leebaiters and "Lee" himself are one and the same. It is unlikely, however, that Lee's posts are made by bots since he often gives unique responses. Do note that pretending to be Lee will probably get you permabanned. | ||
