Gwanon

Gwanon, a portmanteau of "Gwen" and "anon," is the fandom-given name to a persistent, well-known anonymous harasser and troll within the Total Drama fandom. They emerged sometime during 2019, (though one known source says they were active in 2018,) and they are infamous for their passionate tirades against anyone they deem a "hater" of Gwen, a character from the show. These tirades often harass individual fans, contain death threats, are racist, and are sexist.
Gwanon targets fans of color, Female fans, Courtney fans, and Courtney/Duncan shippers in particular, though many are caught in their crossfire even if they don't fall into any of these categories. They are most well known on Tumblr due to that website's anonymous ask feature, though Gwanon has also been seen on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Wattpad to a limited extent.
Two fans have been accused of being Gwanon over the years. 
* A fan by the name of HanzHanz-TheTwelfthGhost on Reddit, el_hanz on TikTok, Hanz Fantasma on YouTube may be them, since he harasses fans in the comment sections of TD fanworks posted on social media over Gwen with threats and falls into similar speech patterns"Similar speech patterns" may not be the right phrase, but see: "Do you really think that Seasons 2-5 Gwen is the worst character ever? Do you think she deserves to die because of this?," commented from Hanz to the-type-a on TikTok in September 2023 compared to "Hey I have various question for you two guys! DO YOU REALLY WANT GWEN TO BE KILLED OFF AND ERASED JUST FOR BEING A BAD CHARACTER? WHY DO YOU THINK[...]" commented from Hanz to fayereaganomics on YouTube in February 2022 compared to "Is Gwen the WORST character of TDA, TDWT and TDAS? She Atlas least never abused boyfriends! Unlike Courtney! Courtney is a monster that should never exist!" anon submitted to mytearsricoshay's inbox in August 2021. All known Gwanon-like interactions off Tumblr have been with one of his pseuds, and some fans targeted by Gwanon believe they are the same person. Both may also speak Spanish as a primary languageGwanon said "México" in a threatening anon to straighttxhell in July 2021 and mentioned Andrés Manuel López Obrador as both "Lopez Obrador" and "AMLO," YouTube account belonging to Hanz that harassed fayereaganomics hosts videos in Spanish. Gwanon's threats also often have poor grammar, though its worth noting that this is a common method of identity obfuscation. This is a weak connection, but one I noticed while researching into both fans--Cavewomania. However, his threats aren't racist or sexist, nor is he known to have a Tumblr account.
* Another fan, totaldrama--sierra, has also been accused as being Gwanon. She is a long-time fan on Tumblr and is infamous for promoting racist content on her blog and harassing users on anonI do not know enough about totaldrama--sierra to say so with certainty, but this is what I've read on Tumblr (said/implied by many fans,) so it likely has some merit.--Cavewomania. However, this is all they have in common, and there is far less proof they are the same person than with Hanz. alecodys has said that blocking totaldrama--sierra removed Gwanon from ae's inbox, though (November 2020), and some fans targeted by Gwanon believe they are the same person.
Many in the fandom believe that "Gwanon" is multiple fans. Because their tirades aren't too different from one to the next, many may impersonate this fan to further troll the fandom. There have also been parody anons themed around other characters from the show.
Gwanon was featured in unironicduncanstan's Total Drama Iceberg in 2021.
