b3an.can 

used to be marcanne.supremacy but showed her true colors. She lied about her age (said she was 12 and is 14), lied about her sexuality, is transphobic, told everyone that she didn’t care about her followers and only wanted attention and also put an inappropriate picture of luz noceda as her pfp. most of her content was about marcy wu dead jokes and how she was the leader of the amphibia fandom (even tho the entire problem was because people were saying they were gonna replace her and make a new leader because she wanted to take a break)
A: did you hear what B3an.can did??
B: who??
A: b3an.can, she used to be marcanne. supremacy
