It's not just Kiwi Farms that archives it, though. He's been stalking women so much he's got an actual criminal record now, people can look that up and see how creepy he is.
That is, if they think to look it up (or his other court records, of LOLsuits filed) in the first place.
The vast majority of decent people have never had a brush with the law, be it civil or criminal, or even know anybody close to them who has been arrested (except maybe the rare DUI). If somebody they meet behaves acceptably well, it's not likely to ever cross their mind to see if that person had a criminal record, or a history of filing retaliatory lawsuits. Hell, you'd be amazed how many people don't even google people they know, or intend to live with--every troon who has ever let Colt Seidman (in the Rat King forum) move in with them is proof of that.
Russell's creepy IRL, but given his disability, very few well-meaning people would think, "Maybe this guy's got a criminal record; I should look him up." They'd just think he was an awkward sped, and give some of his weirder utterances a pass--up to a point, of course, after which they'd just avoid him.
So yes, he now has a misdemeanor criminal record--but if nobody thinks to do a search on him, it might as well not exist.
It'd be one thing if we were the only place talking shit about him, but it's a matter of public record that he's a creep. And he's even published a book and cannot shut up on social media about how proud he is to be a john, and doesn't see anything wrong with that or why women might be put off by it. If he's bothered about his reputation with women, we're the least of his problems.
Hell, if he turned his life around, got therapy (real therapy that makes him work hard, that isn't just talking to a yes-man) and started behaving like a decent person, we'd have nothing to mock about him. Several lolcows have redeemed themselves like that, and some people would probably even give him credit for it and praise him for sorting himself out. But I don't have any faith that he will. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, who knows, but until then we can have a good laugh at the gross creepy shit he does.
Russell's not redeemable. No amount of therapy will fix him. I hate to say that about any human being, but his Narcissism is so profound, nothing is going to get through it (except maybe some really intense, guided experiences with hallucinogens, which isn't going to happen).
If the Farms were to disappear tomorrow, I believe it would actually make things a lot more fun for individual Russell-watchers lurking in the shadows. Knowing that we're watching him, screen-shotting everything, and reaching new depths of autism in our analyses of his every utterance most definitely puts the brakes on his output. But if we weren't here, he'd no longer feel the need for such restraint--because he's absolutely certain it's us, and not the things he says, that are the problem. The milk, it would flow, and it would be fucking glorious, for anybody who knew to watch it.
