KiwiFarms linked to Prominent Developer’s Suicide

Count yourself lucky, r2. It's a cesspool of the lowest order

by Anonymousreply 3July 24, 2021 12:27 AM

I was on kiwifarms when this happened. What actually happened was dude had a 4 page thread that hadn't been commented on in a while (most threads are 100s-1000s of pages long). The site owner has a known, long standing tradition of posting any emails he gets that threaten a lawsuit etc.

He emailed the owner of the site saying 'I will pay you to take my thread down or I will kill myself in a couple of days'. Site owner said 'I would likely be considered complicit in a crime if I did that and it would set bad precedent either way. I need to contact my lawyer'

Before the stated time was up someone posted in Twitter that they had spent a few hours on the phone with the guy, listening to music while the guy killed himself.

Kiwifarms didn't kill anyone. ridiculous. It would be like one of the people who is made fun of in any of the multitude of unpopular threads on here killing themselves and blaming DL.

R4 I think you are thinking of a different case. The one OP linked was in 2018; the situation you mentioned happened only a few months ago, and people still are not sure if said individual actually committed suicide or not. Unless this individual also emailed Kiwifarms.

I am ashamed to admit that when I am feeling really bored and really macabre I do venture on over to lurk. Actually, they have a few folks who do the same to us (Hi Kiwi Farmers). I do not really understand the site all the way. Like why they call some topics “islam” or something of that nature.

After viewing the site however it really isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. They so seem to have an odd honor code about who they make fun of. Most of the people they make fun of have some sort of grift or scam or abuse going on. Like, I can’t see them making fun a disabled person trying to live their life. But someone who lies about being disabled to get money is free game. It also doesn’t seem like they harass people; they make fun of people on their own space. You have to be looking for kiwifarms to find kiwi farms.

by Anonymousreply 24July 24, 2021 1:28 AM

Someone told me about a month ago that there was no use in pointing out the trolls because Dataloungers either ARE trolls or they're too stubborn to be told that they misjudged a person they've been interacting with. I find that to be generally true.

In this case though, I have to say that, once again, rescue-chick has shown everyone the kind of person she is, and it's a little creepy that no one is paying attention.

Instead, we're being told that her repeating what the site owner has said when he was defending himself is more trustworthy than the actual news from a legitimate news source.

This isn't normal, people.

by Anonymousreply 25July 24, 2021 1:29 AM

r5, I think it's pretty clear after reading this thread that the reason Datalounge is becoming more like KiwiFarms is because we have a LOT of their regulars posting here. This thread is almost entirely people saying how great KiwiFarms is and giving us threads to read to try to get us to like the place and post over there.

by Anonymousreply 26July 24, 2021 1:32 AM

R20 That doesn’t sound like something they would do. Most folks on kiwi farms understand the need for online communities to have their own spaces. And most folks on there are supportive of DL because we also don’t buy all the trans bullshit and scammy fat fraus of the worlds.

Basically any time a trans person commits suicide it's blamed on kiwifarms. Cloe was a severely disturbed person who had much bigger issues than kiwifarms and far more toxic people in their life than the posters in kiwifarms.

Chloe was ostracized from the trans community and her suicide in part was a reaction to that abandonment from friends. She was also not a saint and had concocted a con lying about being in a car accident or some other catastrophic event to grift money for surgery. Her suicide note declared that she was protesting the treatment of the mentally ill in America. It had absolutely nothing to do with KF, but the site’s detractors like to use her death as an example of the site “killing” people.

Datalounge is not a monolith, and anyone who says "Datalounge thinks..." or "Datalounge doesn't buy..." is someone trying to pull one over on you. The vast majority of actual gay regulars on DL don't go into the anti trans threads anymore because they're mostly trolling and stupidity. They regard the anti trans ladies on here in the same way they regarded the Prancing Ponies and the crazy women obsessed with third-tier actors.

Besides, the anti trans people on KiwiFarms are often the very same group of anti trans trolls on Datalounge. When you say "KiwiFarms supports Datalounge because they all agree on trans" what you're really saying is that "the same group of trolls who obsess over the topic on KF also do it on DL."

You guys set up shop at any forum that isn't moderated and obsess day in and day out about trans issues, and DL is one of those unmoderated forums. Then you try to pass that off as "the gays on DL agree with us." Honey, the vast majority of gays on DL aren't even paying attention to you.

The trans threads are full of misinformation and lies from the get-go, people who have a very specific agenda start those threads and immediately respond to them with fake information and lies.

Cut the hand-wringing crap about Kiwi Farms. Sure, there are asshole posters on there, same as on any other online forum. But the site's raison d'être is to find and discuss people and things that are ridiculous, or dangerous, or otherwise interesting.

Which means that a lot of the narcissistic online attention whores get discussed there, and obviously, the posters aren't fawning fans. Being narcissistic attention whores, the subjects google themselves and invariably join the discussion, usually throwing hissy fits and issuing legal and suicide threats. Why? Because they crave attention and also believe they and ONLY they have the right to talk about themselves online. No criticism allowed!

Kiwi Farms posters have researched and published information about people that shows them in an unfavorable light. Jessica Yanov has been successful in getting her predatory interactions with young girls and bigoted targeting of minority women removed from practically everywhere BUT Kiwi Farms. To hear Yanov tell it, people hate her because she's trans. No - it's because she's a sexual predator and serial harasser.

They've uncovered the pedophilic predilections of a Taiwanese idiot who successfully obtained legal asylum in the United States. His supporters insisted he was just being 'edgy', until it was proven that nope, he really did have a thing for little kids.

There are all kinds of examples of this on Kiwi Farms. And for doing this, they're called the sewer of the internet.

There is this ridiculous notion nowadays that one can promote oneself online AND completely control the narrative. If anyone else says anything critical, oh noes - it's harassment! it's stalking! Bullshit. It's calling people out, and if they don't like it, they need to tone down their online presence. Once you've put yourself out there, other people are entitled to comment, and entitled to post what they've discovered about you. Even the bad stuff that you really don't want your fans to know about.

I guess I'm the "moral crusader" maybe but there are others who have said the same things I have.

The point I'm making r79 is that these anti trans trolls came in saying they were concerned about trans people because transing kids was being done by rightwingers who wanted to exterminate gays by turning all gay kids into trans. They said they cared about gays and hated the rightwing pro-trans push.

But that's not true, the truth is these anti-trans trolls love rightwing websites, rightwing news, rightwing politicians, they hang around with people who call gays slurs all the time. And then they try to defend it by saying DL has trolls, too, so they're all the same.

Preposterous! DL only occasionally looks like KF and when it does it's 99% the fault of you guys, especially M-tt. If it gets that bad it frequently gets deleted. It always gets called out, even if the mods don't bother to delete it. I don't see anyone on KF calling any of that stuff out. In fact, you guys have bent over backwards to defend it.

R105 that's all I've been saying. They've taken away a real conversation about KF in general and turned it into a trans discussion (ironically, the thing they accuse others of constantly). KF is a site that is a cesspit of hate, way worse than any other site, but it's 100% anything goes (all the good, bad, and ugly).

I'm not sure how a site could get away with that much freedom and not develop into that though. My point about DL wasn't that it's just as bad, but that there's similar hatefulness at times, it's just kept it check. Idk if you could have a truly anon site totally free of hate. There's something good about one of the last bastions of 100% free speech online, but is worth the cost? That's a better discussion than trans, trans trans 🙄

They'll screenshot, discuss, etc. That's not the entire purpose (I peeked into a couple threads about political events), but it's a big chunk of it.

Back when I looked, it was prompted by a different article, regarding a suicide, where KF was linked. I didn't stick around to see animal abuse or suicide videos though. I'm surprised at anyone that would.

Your entire premise that "Datalounge is hypocritical and sanctimonious for criticizing Kiwi Farms" is ridiculous for a whole host of reasons.

First of all, Datalounge en masse is not criticizing KiwiFarms. Some Dataloungers are criticizing the individual anti trans trolls who make all sorts of claims about being morally and ethically superior, yet constantly ally themselves with scumbags and right wingers, if they're not right wingers themselves.

Second, people on Datalounge constantly, daily, repeatedly complain about the right wing trolls and general assholes who post trollbait. There are lengthy threads about how the site isn't moderated and various trolls post homophobic ESTs with no consequences.

You know this because YOU guys are the very trolls that DLers constantly ask to please be moderated, because the place is turning into a pit. You guys bring Kiwi Farms and 4chan style crap over here, you're the ones posting those "I'm sick of gay men" threads etc. Not all of you, but a lot of you.

Third, even though it's not moderated, the worst of the worst, the ones who get close to Kiwi Farms territory, get grayed out, red tagged, and banned. One of you guys got grayed out about an hour ago, scroll up and look for yourself.

Then I don't care), giving puberty blockers to kids, and, most importantly, tired of trans co-opting gay history and spaces.

But otherwise? Couldn't care less. In fact, I vote to make sure trans adults are protected in terms of job, housing, etc.

Null/Josh, the proprietor of KW is a free speech absolutist. Freedom of speech is our most important right as an American/human. It's the right that protects all the others. For all of its many faults, (of which there are many) the US protects free speech better than any country in the world. That includes the postings on the Farms. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it's bad but on the balance, it is a good thing. Make of that what you will. The site has been shaken down many times and never backs down. I feel Josh is the current day equivalent of Larry Flint.

R73 DataLounge and KiwiFarms do have many similarities. Both sites are irreverent and entertaining. Both have members who sound smarter, funnier and more adult than users of other internet forums. Diversity of opinion is encouraged rather than censored. The main difference is that KF mocks people who want to be internet famous rather than Hollywood celebrities.

Like DL, much of the Farms is devoted to more mundane topics. Current events, books and film, cooking, music, health and well-being, you name it. Even when politics are discussed, a general respect for civility and tolerance for difference of opinion is always present.

Detractors of KF will tell you it’s a hive of racist Nazis stalkers devoted to making innocent people suffer. Nothing could be further from the truth. Interaction with the people who have threads there is frowned upon and strongly discouraged. And lots of trans and gay people post there. I run into them all the time.

Much of the current criticism of the Farms is being orchestrated by the sort of “some men have vaginas” true believers who are threatened by any and all criticism of their ideas. I have accounts on DL and KF because both places are becoming something of a rarity on the internet these days: forums for (mostly) uncensored discussion rather than boring, heavily-moderated, echo chambers.

R109 Words like “bitch” and “cunt” get used on DL everyday. Are you outraged by that too?

R153 As far as I can tell, KF users hardly ever post porn meant for the enjoyment of the larger community. They have pretty strict ideas about revealing any personal information about themselves, including references to individual users' kinks or fetishes.

Also, the owner and mods seem to be very wary of allowing any content that might fall outside the letter of the law. Probably trying to avoid attacks by haters who will post stuff like like kiddie porn in order to get the site shut down. Many subs on Reddit fell victim to the same tactic.

R166 Gonna let you in on a little secret. Gay men come in all types of political affiliations. You really think right-wing trolls are on a mission to subvert and undermine the DataLounge?

Somebody, please. Cue the theme music to the Twilight Zone.

I'm guessing someone went whining to KiwiFarms like the little bitch they are, which is why all these defenses of that virtual armpit keep trickling in.

At least that one guy linked to earlier in the thread had the balls to say he liked KiwiFarms because he got to say the n-word. The big baby KF defenders on here wouldn't have the guts. All they can do is imply that it's okay for KiwiFarms to call people "n*gger" and "f*ggot" because DLers say "cunt" a lot.

R178 yeah but crazies like r179 think that anyone slightly to the right of Stalin is literally Hitler--the amount of hyperbole is just ridiculous. Folks, people are complicated! Virtually no one perfectly aligns with their party on every issue, people have all sorts of varying and even conditioning views, and that's FINE because we are all just smart monkeys on a big rock, so lighten up, yeah?

R174 nails it.

R179 You are the reason DL is turning to pot. Not everyone is a troll. No one is coming on to DL from Kiwi Farms to “defend” KF; they know they are trolls. They are fine staying in their own world. LSAers sometimes go on DL to insult white women, and trannies do because invading others spaces is what they do best, but KF isn’t like that.

R175, False equivalent. DLer's call each other bitch, cunts and whores all the time, and sometimes as terms of endearment; even the women who frequent here do too. These terms are not exclusively used to target any specific gender or sexuality. Unless someone is being an actual bitch or cunt, it's not used with malignant intention.

R178, Let me let you in on a little reality check, one of the major staples of right-wing ideologues has always been "Divide and Conquer," which is something they OPENLY admit to doing. There is no conspiracy to be had, at least not on my part.

Trolls who troll know they're trolls, you say?? Oh, R181, what a remarkable revelation...somebody stop the presses.

There have been more straight women invading DL than there has ever been trans. Perhaps, it's shit-spewing irritant fraus like you the reason DL has gone to the dogs?

by Anonymousreply 184July 26, 2021 7:35 PM

Give it up, R183. Everybody reading this knows EXACTLY what you really mean. It’s okay to use slurs as long the people they’re meant to target use them too or if they’re spoken with affection.

You have the logical consistency of poo and the intellectual integrity of a spineless weasel. Well done.

by Anonymousreply 185July 28, 2021 2:36 PM

Half of this thread is people defending Kiwi Farms and someone had the audacity to say no one here is defending Kiwi Farms.

Between that and poor r185 using the word "poo," thinking it'll make him look like a regular, this thread has been very illuminating about a lot of Datalounge's recent problems. Seems a lot of the stupidity on here can be traced to actual, bona fide stupid Kiwi Farms denizens.

Not so fast. I could be a deep undercover Trumper. Or a klan granny. Maybe even a dyke or a frau.

R186 this is such a bad argument. 1. It IS absurd trust anyone in this earth would care enough about DL to come here and... What? Argue with you? You think this is MORE likely than some DL regs like another gossip forum. 2. Let's say people are brigading from KF, so what? So this developer totally definitely killed himself even though there is no proof except one guy on Twitter who promised it was true and now refuses to discuss it, and KF is to blame for this thing that totally happened, no verification required?

I just looked at the Kiwi Farms "animal control" sub. It looks like it's mostly threads about furries, the people who have a fetish for dressing up in animal costumes and having sex with others who are similarly costumed. Imagine the kind of people who think of "my little pony" cartoons as erotica. That's weird and creepy, but it' doesn't involve cruelty to actual animals.

Kiwi Farms is a chaotic mess of immature people who thing using slurs makes them somehow more edgy than those of us who don't.

HOWEVER, when the normal online media is shunning a scandal involving a trans person, Kiwi Farms always has the receipts. For example, when Aimee Chancellor ran for office in the UK and hired her father, (a man who raped and tortured someone in their attic) to work on her political campaign, Kiwi Farms covered it. And when Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv (tampon fetishist and generally awful person) became a vexatious litigant in Canada's human rights tribunals suing immigrant aestheticians for declining to touch his male genitalia), Kiwi Farms was just about the only place covering it for a while.

The people on that site are not nice. and it's a pretty gross place. But that doesn't mean it isn't useful on occasion.

by Anonymousreply 195October 16, 2021 1:06 AM

But Aimee Chanellor and Yaniv have been covered extensively throughout other online mediums as well, maybe you just weren't looking? I first heard about them via Youtube.

by Anonymousreply 196October 16, 2021 9:05 PM

R196 I don't use YouTube much and I don't use it for news. I only know that before I could find any of the Yaniv information in any mainstream outlet, Kiwi Farms had the details. Indeed, they had more detail than I wanted to know - but that story wasn't covered by normal media outlets for quite a while.

I am OP and I am also the poster who said that I haven't been to the website in nearly a year because I haven't. The only threads that I was interested in were news and celebrity gossip so those were the only ones that I read. Other than the usual assholes that every website on the Internet has, I saw nothing unusual or right wing at all. I really don't gaf if you believe me or not.

by Anonymousreply 199September 4, 2022 1:18 AM

Then you were being willfully obtuse. There was rampant, casual homophobia and fascism left and right. Despite some of its usefulness in exposing dangerous nutjobs like Yaniv, it really is a net positive that it got shut down.

True.

She's a troll because she's a troll.

Whether you like her or not as nothing to do with it.
