Legitimate criticisms of Kiwi Farms

[drain]

Imagine pretending to be drunk

man, its easier to just go for the bottle and hit it than to pretend you hit it

@CoronaVenom too drunk to use a keyboard properly but you're coherent enough to delete your posts?

How drunk is he that he's just slapping the keyboard.

I am pretty insulted at him thinking this is how drunk people type.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep a semblance of sobriety when you're completely smashed but not enough to be outright incapable of using a computer? I have to type-and-peck and it takes forever to type anything out because I can't even focus on the keyboard. It takes work to be that specific level of drunk.

yeah fam, you just hyper focus on the tiny keyboard letters (even with the backlight on) and type with the proficiency of an old grandma with parkinson's, but you eventually get there.
if you smash your keyboard, you're not drunk, you're just retarded

Not really a complaint, but the women here are fucking mean. I have never seen a place online quite like the Salon, nothing seems to be off limits.
It’s great.

Thats women in general. You should see lolcow.farm

As others have stated, I now subconsciously equate the word exceptional with it’s less-PC counterpart. The words are now interchangeable and mean the same thing to me. This isn’t really a complaint, just a strange phenomenon that tells me I spend too much time on here.
I don’t really think I have many major complaints, the parts of the site I frequent don’t have too much going on to complain about. I’m just a retard laughing at and with other retards.

 

[Maurice Caine]

If this site is truly about exceptional individuals, where are the ESPers, Time Travellers and Aliens? Get your game on, Null.

This place would definitely be better if I got to choose who was halal.

More of a userbase criticism than a site one, but some people get so mad at specific cows that when the cow doesn't do anything particularly stupid for a week or so they start rabidly jumping on every little thing the cow does even if it's something completely mundane and not worth mentioning. Seeing a dozen new posts in a slow thread because the cow made a typo in a youtube comment is irritating.

If I see someone being a spastic I call them out for it

Ratings are reddit shit. So are the green border for posts with many ratings.

Negative ratings here don't hide your posts or slow down your ability to post unlike Reddit. Plus, nobody gives a shit, they're just for fun. It's a treat when you reply to someone who's acting up and they strike back with a mean rating.

Occasionally something interesting happens with (or to) one of the internet's more well-known users, but the lion's share of Kiwifarms "content" is just banal ridicule. It's the virtual equivalent of fat housewives huddling together, reading tabloids and gossiping about famous people. Replace Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman with Darksydephil and that one grotesquely-obese woman who is so fat her forehead sticks out.

I understand the other half of Kiwifarms is arguing politics, which is just as much of a waste of time, but I also don't see our resident neonazis, lolbertarians and "real liberals" insisting Lolcow threads be forcibly removed from the site.

>goes to a gossip site about retarded people
>is mad about people gossiping about and mocking retarded people

Why are you even here, Mr. "all men would've been pedophiles if it wasn't illegal"?

 

[Bagronkleton]

People get mad that I rate them autistic and shitpost on my profile.
Fix this.

That's a feature, my dude. Ain't the full kiwi experience until you get some thin skinned mong getting mad at you over pixels.

• Word filters fuckin up urls.

I, for one, enjoy Dear Feeder's word filters. How else am I supposed to proclaim my preference for milk and hashbrowns for breakfast?

 

[Bagronkleton]

Oh yeah, not saying the word filters are bad. Just when they bugger up links.

You know you're operating at peak internetz when someone goes back a month to dig up old posts, trying to "discredit" you. Did you expect me to apologize for what I wrote? The citation I linked says it all.

More importantly, I've never said anywhere that Kiwifarms shouldn't have space devoted to gossip over e-celebrities. That's what the site was made for. I don't understand the appeal and will probably ridicule anyone who takes it seriously (especially when they stomp their feet and start flinging mud) but I recognize ousting that crowd from the site is pointless, nor would I support any motion to do so. You would have better luck trying to evict all the anime fans from 4chan, or all the cuckolding enthusiasts from Reddit.

Once those fat housewives start going into your A&H threads and sperging out over Christian Weston Chandler for no reason whatsoever, then you can criticize Kiwi Farms users for talking about lolcows.

Yes, politics on the internet are annoying and ubiquitous. I can understand wanting to just get rid of them wholesale but that's never going to happen.

Unless Null and company decide to enact a site-wide, uniform ban on all political discourse (which would renege his apparent position on free speech, but he moderates a web forum, so hypocrisy isn't out of the realm of possibility), kicking out rabble-rousers who are annoying right now will just galvanize their political opposites. Why? Because people love arguing, especially on the internet. The most prominent, recurring and addictive thing to argue about on the internet in the year 2020 is present day politics. You're likely aware of that, since politics keep appearing where you'd prefer they keep out. Otherwise just look at how Articles & Happenings has exploded in popularity. This phenomenon is naturally-occurring.

If you enact the ban I described, new users giving the site a cursory glance won't see "politics may no longer be discussed on Kiwifarms", they will just see "(current political Kiwis) were kicked out of Kiwifarms, that must mean they support (opposite of those political views here)", or at the very least assume it. Then they seep in, replacing the scourge you just painstakingly evicted, and you're back at square one. This exact thing happened to SomethingAwful. It tends to happen anywhere that undergoes a big, dramatic banishment of politically-inclined users.

There's politics all the way down. You can ban the users, but you can't ban human nature. Report off-topic whinging about niggers, Jews, the president and white people all you want, but understand it won't cork the rapid onset of politics flooding all discourse on the internet. "Everything is political" is an unironic rallying cry for idiots.

Agreed. All female users should be required to verify their sex with Null via photographic or video evidence and to use a picture of their tits as an avatar. We need to get these hos under control.

Feet too and put in a 'best of" thread.
