Aubrey Cottle (born April 6, 1987), also known as Kirtaner or Kirt, is a Canadian website forum administrator who claims to be an early member of the hacktivist group Anonymous. Cottle was involved with Anonymous during the late 2000s and in its resurgence beginning in 2020, in which the group attempted to combat the far-right conspiracy movement QAnon.
Cottle is the founder of the now-defunct forum-image site 420chan and its sister-site Taima.tv, which majorly consisted of imageboards about pro wrestling (where its board was known as "/wooo/", which spawned the /wooo/tube station on Taima.tv), recreational drug use, and LGBT+ and transgender topics.
