Kiss My Cheeks

As discussed on stream: Kiss My Cheeks is an IP2-affiliated troll present in the archive solely as a vector of harassment against Psyche. This figure operated through deliberate image manipulation and misrepresentation, targeting the host's domestic space and animal care practices as fuel for a coordinated campaign of online abuse.

As discussed on stream: Kiss My Cheeks appears in the record at a single inflection point: during Psyche's World Goat Day episode, when the host directly addressed recent online harassment originating from IP2 networks. The troll's method was surgical—clipping and decontextualizing an image of Psyche's table, then distributing it with false framing to amplify reputational damage. This represents a classic pattern of bad-faith criticism: taking an element of the host's domestic or material reality and weaponizing it through selective presentation. The appearance of Kiss My Cheeks in the archive is not a presence but an intrusion—a moment where external noise forced its way into the show's discourse, requiring Psyche to pause and clarify the record rather than advance it.

Kiss My Cheeks exists in the archive only in relationship to Psyche, and only as antagonist. There is no genuine intellectual exchange, no co-appearance with other guests, no exploration of shared interests. The relationship is unidirectional hostility: the troll acts, the host responds and clarifies. No other figures in the archive are documented as collaborating with or relating to Kiss My Cheeks.
