Declassified File: The Hate Campaign Against Wes Jaques / Jake Bannerman

This declassified report compiles documented evidence of the verbal abuse, digital harassment, and cultural ostracization faced by independent authors Wes Jaques and Jake Bannerman. Through screenshots, slurs, public comments, and online backlash, this file reveals the quiet but violent campaign to discredit, shame, and silence their work. This is not fiction. This is the front line of literary resistance.

1. Character Assassination

Multiple commenters publicly accused Wes Jaques of being a scammer, attacking his relationship with his mother, and using shame as a tool to delegitimize his requests for support.

2. Verbal Abuse and Psychological Violence

Direct messages sent to Wes and Jake contain extreme verbal abuse including slurs, death wishes, and dismissive attacks meant to dehumanize and emotionally destabilize them. These include phrases such as:

• "You're a fucking cunt"
• "Fuck off and die you stupid loser"
• "With the rest of your kind"

3. Misogyny, Gaslighting & Dismissal

Other messages leaned into sexist tropes, mocking emotional vulnerability, and equating it with weakness. These comments were not only cruel, but also reinforce a culture where trauma is seen as 'complaining' and emotional pain is ignored.

• "Sounds like a woman. 'I just need to be heard' — we hear ya, now stop complaining and do something about it."

4. Attack on Creative Legitimacy

As is common with independent creators who challenge the system, the final attempt to disarm them is to discredit the work itself. One message ends simply with:

• "Bye!! And your books suck"

Conclusion: Proof of Cultural Silencing

This document serves as a record of the cultural harassment faced by Wes Jaques and Jake Bannerman. Whether rooted in jealousy, ideological rejection, or fear of their unfiltered truths, this backlash proves one thing: The system wants them silenced. And we will not let that happen.
