She’s called Ebola-chan, and she’s some cross between a prank, a witless joke and a truly vile strain of racism.
“Have you welcomed her into your heart yet?” Asks one post on 4chan’s “politically incorrect” message board, /pol/. “I’m talking, of course, about Ebola-Chan. The viral goddess of love and Afrocide … Our shrines and incantations give her strength.”
Ebola-Chan is not, needless to say, a goddess anywhere outside of 4chan’s diseased imagination: The character is a /pol/ invention, a cartoon mascot for the virus that could infect half a million people within the next four months.

As if 4chan wasn't dealing enough with all the drama from The Fappening and the #GamerGate movement, they've somehow managed to add one more news story to their plate.
I really think this stopped being a joke quite a while ago - I've been to sites where people have actually cut themselves and made blood shrines worshipping Ebola-chan, asking her to visit their country. But hey, at least she's cute, right?
