The Independence Day Invasion was a counter-raid of Tumblr by 4chan that occurred on July 4th, 2014 in response to an alleged attempt by Tumblr to "correct" /b/ - Random. It began when feminists and whiteknights, prompted by ShutDown4chan, went to /b/ and started shitposting about feminism. 4chan would later respond by posting triggering content such as gore, porn, and rape to Tumblr's most popular tags, including #feminism, #fatacceptance, and various fandom tags.

Tumblr's attempt to raid and Politically correct /b/ went about as well as you'd expect.
