A theory on why this site is such a target

[Sweetpeaa]

After the recent cloudfare drama and this site being attacked... again. I have to say this. many people would agree KF calls back to the 'old internet'. There is a dry sense of humor and and no praise for fools (the cows). The new internet is the reverse, humor is curated not to be offensive and there is praise and rewards for being fat, autistic or a tranny under this new blanket of diversity and body positivity.

People like Keffal's and his kin are technically used to doing whatever they want on the internet and being held to no standard just as the deathfats. Because there is no standards for people like that anymore. The moment a site starts telling them like it is and poking them with the rod of reality they go crazy and try to take the site. It's no secret that the news media conveniently left out just about everything about Keffal's other than they were trans. No mention of the perverted stuff or the porn background, pedo inclinations etc. Just a poor innocent trans person being attacked by a hate site.

This site is hated because it encourages personal accountability which has been removed from the internet.

With the weaponization of perceived purity through clout, any faults one may have can severely diminish one's clout. And when you are terminally online(Kerfeffels) you value only clout - the carrot on a stick one can only dream of dilating with.

I think what really makes this site the target of such great ire it is is because of how we emphasize evidence and hard facts. If this site relied on gossip rumors, and hearsay about cows, people would be able to just handwave it away as a bunch of made-up nonsense that has no evidence to back it up. Screenshots and archived links of cow-ish behavior cannot be handwaved away. The stone cold proof we collect really galls people because they hate having their own behavior expose them for jackasses, so they go to extreme lengths to destroy this site and the evidence it has on them. They do that instead of not engaging in the behavior that made them a cow in the first place because self-improvement is hard and scary.

Most people don't really want fully free speech regardless of what they say, because they might hear something they don't like, or that offends them. The Farms does not offer that insulation from words that hurt.

Similarly, most people don't want to deal with the truth that no one side of any story is 100% in the right, because then they have to actively engage with reality. They prefer to hear simple black and white stories with plainly evident good and bad guys. The Farms speaks to truth, or at least make an effort to do so, and the truth tends to be many shades of grey.

In short, nigger tranny troon pedo faggot. That is all.

It's not very complicated, they want to fuck kids

Null himself has said the exact same thing.

To a cow with bad behavior (and every cow on this site has a behavioral problem) getting a thread here is like getting a criminal record. There is an active online file of what they've done in public view.

Lucas (Keffals) ran for a small, low profile political party in Ontario years ago don't forget. The 'communist party' -while not taken seriously, people still vote for it in small numbers and still elect a party leader. The image that Lucas constructed in his hometown was far from accurate but still managed to portray himself as a ''good natured'' political activist who was transgender. Fighting discrimination, equality blah blah blah







The Real Lucas . His disgusting behavior and all the 'secrets' are exposed on this site. From the pedo tendencies to the fart dominatrix porn.

Yeah it boils down to the internet being such a sanitized place these days, reddit seriously makes me feel sick to my stomach sometimes without how ingenuine and sickly positive it feels. "Oh wow thanks for the answer frendo!" "No problem friend you have a wonderful day" "Thanks you too pal!". In this day and age nobody fucking cares about strangers on the internet, they don't even care about people in their real lives, they only do it to fit in with some overly positive culture that is prevalent on the site. Whereas here, we just say whatever we want to. We say mean things, we say horrible things, and we say them for no other reason then that it's funny, and it's only funny because nobody is allowed to say things like that anymore. The site is an outlier, an anomaly, and despite their constant preaching of tolerance and diversity, as soon as something appears that doesn't fit in, they want it purged immediately.

You are a lolcow. There is a website out there that just consists of an exposé as detailed as the Keffals OP. If it ranks highly in search engines or gets passed around, that might be enough for you to go on a crusade against the website.

The Farms has thousands of lolcows concentrated into one site. This gets more eyes on cows. You can laugh at/discover Ethan Ralph, Keffals, Assigned Male, Chris-Chan, DSP, etc. all in the same session. A thread gets featured and lots of people pay attention to it.

I think Josh himself archived misogynistic Keffals videos minutes before he deleted them. The collaborative nature of KF makes it easier to capture and organize everything the cows want deleted.

So it's no surprise that random cows are sliding into Keffals' DMs. The site's activities inevitably piss off a legion of people from across "the spectrum". If Keffals has his way and knocks out KF and related gossip sites, it will mean less negative attention, more fragmentated info that is easier to sweep away, and less robust archiving.

A decade ago you could just say "the Internet never forgets". But it's becoming more centralized and more hostile to independent sites. The weight of governments and tech giants could crush dissent.

It’s very simple. We laugh at them. Fundamentalists of all types cannot allow laughter becasue it is more of a threat than any kind of real violence.
Go and read ‘the name of the rose’ by umberto eco.

 

[Stan]

This site is hated because it encourages group stalking and harassment of minor internet celebrities we don’t even know

FTFY

 

[YourFriendlyLurker]

Because all tards hate to be laughed at.

It’s this. They can be laughed at and there’s no “safety team” that will promptly delete the offending posts and ban wrongthinkers. So they will keep screeching until they find someone who can take it down. It’s ultimately about control for these people and they force themselves into all kinds of shit that’s otherwise irrelevant to them. If they can’t control it directly or indirectly, they consider it a threat.

Another part of it is that these ingrates aren’t used to the version of the internet where you can say whatever the fuck you want and have fun without restriction. They have only participated in virtual hugboxes and/or sites with insanely overbearing content moderation policies, so their brains short circuit when they encounter places like this. The post Web 2.0 generation of internet users have been a disaster for the human race.

 

[OutInTheRain]

They can't control the Farms, that's why it must go. As well, it documents the various breeds of internet retards every misstep, every foible. For the purpose of laughing at them, for showing the world what they are. For many, having an itemized list of all your sins laid bare, means they cannot use time between each instance to rationalize their actions. It's all there, a list of each time you ever fucked up, and a group of autists laughing and ripping on you.

KF calls back to the 'old internet'.

Which is probably why it's easy to slander.

Looking at the comments from normies when it was down, most people who have heard of the site before were not upset about the transphobia (not helped by Keffals being a boring arsehole) but it was primarily because they seemed to believe that doxxing was a taboo invasion of personal privacy, or that doxxing and swatting are interchangeable, and I suspect that is because most of them remember the days when 8chan was the Internet boogyman that proudly boasted a really nasty reputation, where swatting, posting child porn and lethal pranks was an idle pastime, and users would dox each other and start bullshit troll campaigns, and now the infamous birthplace of 'Q'. Whenever people talk about the Farms, it's like they're talking about 8chan, a group of degenerate psychopaths who screw with people for fun - I suspect even Keffals thinks they hold the moral high ground because they're comparing themselves to 8chan. Even the way the press talks about the Farms, taking every goading, hyperbolic threat of violence with absolute seriousness reeks of early 2000s energy.

And so, because nobody is willing to come here and nobody cares about justice for a bunch of twisted alt-right Internet trolls who may as well be pedophiles, murderers and incels, people probably assume we're the instigators, and because as @FascistFrederick said, everyone is so used to armies of jannies sanitising everything that a place where you can spam 'nigger', 'faggot' and 'troon' without censure is so provocative it must have an agenda. Why would anybody attack transpeople and people of colour unless they were a right-wing insurrectionist? The only reason this site exists, is not to chat with like minded people, not just to express one's opinion free from censorship, not as an archive and peanut gallery for crazy people, that's naive! But it must be to reignite the culture war. Ergo the Farms is a threat to liberal democracy.

 

[Kiwisee]

Because unlike Twitter, when it comes to exposing people we keep miles long receipts that mainly focus on the atrocious behaviours that the subjects themselves engage in.

We don’t rely on second hand accounts because if MeToo taught us anything, it’s that there’s no shortage of BPD SSRI addicted whores who will defame anyone has a sex pest just for laughing at them.

In fact, we’re more likely to focus on those BPD attention whores willing to label people sex pests and hold them accountable for trying to file up online mobs to engage in life ruination.

Which is why the average Twitter user and Journalist fucking despises us: we expose that very behaviour to any Normie. They’re mad that they can’t just cancel someone over false allegations/comments taken out of context anymore without getting mentioned here on the Farms.

Cause KF catalogues people's doxx? And even if it's strongly discouraged to interact with lolcows in any way, and assuming that no user would ever do anything like that, doesn't mean that some third party wouldn't use this information for some nefarious purposes. Like stalking and beating the shit out of a cow. Or throwing a brick into his window.

Consider Also: Its not -THAT- hard to dig up people's personal information online, and people have been swatted for the crime of beating shitheads on xbox. No one has to be a member here to do it, and if someone has a thread here, theres a pretty big chance they've got people who hate them lurking elsewhere. Its not the end-all be all for "being mean online", nor is there any organization or cooperation aside from amassing data and archiving shit-ass behavior.

I think this is a very opportune Circling of the Wagons for some bad faith actors, trying to protect their bread and butter. I know theres some nasty stuff on KF, but we also have this wonderful catalog of sex pests, abusers, grifters and all in between, and thats a big danger to people who make their living by Problematizing and Deplatforming. And I think quite a few people pushing for the censorship are aware of the social risks of even having nominal dirty laundry hanging out online, should the insulation of their fans give way.

I think its important that people who are able to form these communities around themselves be well monitored and documented, though. Its not an uncommon occurrence for Online Famous people to be ousted as sex pests, abusers or shifty, little grifters. Its not uncommon for serial scammers to re-invent themselves and set up their Fibromyalgia/EDS/ADHD/Autism Go Fund Me and collect pitybux they don't need. These people shouldn't exist online without oversight when other people's money and trust are tied up in the experience, and unfortunately only shitty gossip sites seem to be doing the work there.

It's the same old problem: Normies don't care and don't understand it.
They see it called being horrible and accept it without a second thought.

Also see rock music, D&D, black metal, video games, and anything on the Internet that isn't Facebook.
