| - The group's name was derived from a now removed YouTube video of the "White Queen Campaign." There, a multitude of Twihards campaigned to send White Queen chess pieces to Entertainment Weekly because of their review of Breaking Dawn. The Campaign turned out to be a profoundly useless waste of time, since Entertainment Weekly never retracted the review and apologized. Noting that the creator of the Campaign made the comments moderated for approval, so that the stupidity of the situation didn't leak out too far, the original creator of the Movement founded the organization, and made sure it was actually somewhat useful by giving Antis on YouTube a secure place to comment about the idiocy of the fans and the books themselves without fear of the comments being deleted.
- The Black Pawn Movement are a real, fictional group. In other words, the group itself is real. The group in the videos are not. Savvy? The main purpose of the group is to reveal and show how Orwellian much of the Twilight series' more rabid fanbase can get. In the off season the group enjoys more familiar pastimes. The fictionalized version of the group currently holds three four five: D~ (the Straight Man, most of the time), A~ (the Deadpan Snarker), K~ (the one fan, a Cloudcuckoolander), V~ (essentially a female analogue to that one guy with the mask) and most recently Z~, who...isn't really all there. The group was also currently in the process of riffing Twilight The Movie with a guest riffer, Shazza, though this seems to have fallen into Development Hell.

When riffing videos, the BPM searches for the most idiotic and insane videos that Twihards (Twilight + Diehard) can muster, sometimes causing the original video to be taken offline, inadvertingly also making them video mirrors of some Twihards' Old Shame. However, sometimes they will also have videos either forced down or asked to be taken down (nicely). To date, two videos have been either DMCA'ed or asked down by YouTube, resulting in Missing Episodes. In 2010, the BPM expanded their riffing range from only the Twilight FanDumb to all FanDumbs, in response to the Twilight craze dying down over time. The three biggest new inclusions to the range are Beliebers, Juggalos and Little Monsters. Furries are also a popular target.
