 ====== Bunny Boilers ======
+[{{ :hazards:bunnyboiling.jpg?300|There is generally no low that a Bunny Boiler will not stoop to, in order to get their revenge.}}]
-{{tag>Hazards Stubs}}
+A **bunny boiler** is a slang term for a person who acts in a vengeful way towards an ex-partner/lover, or someone who rejected their romantic advances. This behavior may also be directed towards the victim's new love interest, their family or friends, professional connections, and other people in that person's life.
+Bunny boilers are a regular nuisance to many Anons. The ex-lovers of our operatives frequently decide that our communal activities are valid targets when it comes to seeking petty revenge, and have no problem spending months/years destructively disturbing our crusade for human rights in order to feel good about themselves.
+The term comes from the 1987 film **Fatal Attraction**, where a woman seeking revenge on her former lover, places his family’s beloved pet rabbit in a pot of boiling water when he is away from the house. Because of this, many people erroneously assume that the term "//bunny boiler//" means a scorned woman, but men are just as capable of exhibiting bunny boiler tendencies as well.

+Bunny boilers, due to their oftentimes fierce tenacity, should be planned for in advance - that is, with proper [[security:opsec]] and [[tactics:compartmentalize|compartmentalization]]. The typical boiler, much like any other saboteur, is constantly seeking **leverage** over their victim, and so their eye is attuned to looking for anything that they can possibly exploit for maximum devastation, even if it means leaving behind a massive swath of collateral damage on the side.
+When a bunny boiler appears on the scene, it is imperative that the victim provide some sort of intel on the threat to their fellow Anons, so they may profile the boiler and create a personalized plan of action. This can be tricky, as it can inadvertently accelerate information leaks and further collateral damage. [[tactics:block|Blocking]] and [[tactics:dont-say-anything|keeping your mouth shut]] can impede and discourage many less-competent boilers. However, if the boiler is using scorched earth [[tactics:suicide trolling]] tactics, it may be necessary to deploy spies and complex counter-intelligence to divert the boiler to a controlled environment.
+Skilled counter-intelligence operatives who are trained in the art of reprogramming saboteurs, may be able to use the bunny boiler's tendency to gossip and spread rumors to low-key promote //different// operations, or otherwise channel the boiler's destructive energy against other targets. See the [[diy:reprogramming]] article for more info.
