I have no idea what any of this means, but OP/secret maker, I'd like to commend you on your image choice. Thanks for picking the adorable bird, rather than molding ventilation ducts to illustrate the secret...

I looked at the definition below, and now I really wish it was about cute kiwi birds instead.
In fact I'm now going to go look at baby bird pictures until I feel happy again.

Do I dare ask what do you mean by kiwifarms?

big oof

I looked it up because I was curious.

en.wikipedia.org
› wiki › Kiwi_Farms
October 10, 2022 - Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is an internet forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment. These actions have tied Kiwi Farms to the suicides of three people targeted by members of the forum.

Did you hear about when people impersonating some trans woman called Keffals claimed she'd murdered her mother and was going to mass-murder people at city hall, and they got a SWAT team sent to her house? Those were Kiwifarms users. That was unusually direct by their standards, but it's not outside their typical style. Or their typical targets, for that matter. They really hate trans women and/or people who're open about being mentally ill.

Never heard of any of this. Kind of happy for my ignorance in this case

It's genuinely surprising to me that people who are online aren't familiar with that particular shithole at least by reputation

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I spend a ton of time online, but had never heard of it. I guess it depends on where you hang out.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
I think I've heard it mentioned on tumblr in passing, but I pretty much go on there mostly to look up fandom things so that's probably how I've missed it.

It happens. I was in my twenties before I ran into GuroChan (and its much darker cousin image board with photographs), and only poked at KiwiFarms earlier this year for the first time.

The stuff about how they manage to stay online is more interesting to me than the place itself, but the general consensus about which politics are commonsense is an odd mishmash of right and left that I think both parties would energetically repudiate.

Is it tar season already>

Lol, don't think black mold makes you a massive prick though.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, burn.

Personal gripe, but what I love about Kiwifarms is that they think they’re above Snark Reddit because they’re laugh at their bullying victims instead of raging, but I honestly just find them to be both heads on different sides of the same coin, you know? Both group seem to approach their subjects with a similar vile hatred.

OP--I should have put a suicide warning on this

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
The term tends to come up one way or another when dealing with Kiwifarms.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Damn. The cute name and image did not prepare me for what kiwifarms were, that's awful.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I take it you mean it's just deteriorating in any sense, but is there actually a writing style? I've heard of this place (does it still exist? I thought it was a predecessor of those chan sites). And I'm familiar with the egging on they do (amongst other things) tangentially.

I'm just wondering because I've noticed people on Reddit type a certain way (or maybe it's specific subreddits?). So I was wondering what the writing style is there.

I thought some more about what I see in these people, and what comes to mind is Edgar Allen Poe:

"I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men — but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed — I raved — I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased."

Everything is important, and everything is connected, and the more people fail to see how important it all is, the angrier they get. Tinhatters and Q fanatics get this way too. They're not just fighting over a random public figure, they're defending civilization against an unholy scourge, whether it's the homophobia that prevents actors from admitting they're gay, or the government corruption that keeps Trump from executing all the traitors.

AYRT

Thanks for responding and wow that feels spot on from comments I've seen about that site/those kinds of sites in general. Also the Poe quote made me lol, but goodness is it such w good descriptor of what's going on online. With Q stuff you really hit it.

What, did that place resurface again?
