I want to talk right down to earth, in a language that everybody here can easily understand

I couldn't agree more. I've been a fan of internet drama for several years now, but I never joined any forums or posted on any imageboards. The "belligerence" Null mentions (the inevitable consequence of anonymous posting) always seemed to pre-empt the possibility of intelligent dialogue. Now, however, I feel I have found my natural home - a forum with just the right combination of thoughtful, perceptive discussion and the sort of heartless mockery only a bunch of hurt spergs and misfits could be capable of producing. And the threads that result are always a joy to read.



Oh, wow. @bearycool - you took the words right out of my mouth.
Kiwi Farms - ED's true spiritual heir! To a bright and beautiful future of Autism, lulz and delicious drama! :heart-full:
I am torn on the heartless mockery, sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it.
At least it's somewhat consistent.

This site can only grow if drops the enforcement of chan loser norms and the pretense that the freedom of speech isn't relative to political orientation. I imagine that won't happen.

I would love to work on a lolcow blog, but why would I want to work with the virgin midget child porn host? He hovers in between "I'm totally free to do what I want" and "I'm not free, my hands are tied by the law" and wonders why no one else seems to have his problem. To 99% of people he will always be the attention-seeking child porn midget who has decided who he wants to be and how he wants to be known. And he promotes the view that the Assad regime's victims aren't pro-democracy activists, they're Israeli intelligence and Muslim terrorists. The free-speech supporter who buys a torture regime's propaganda. ok

Oh yes, and cyber-bullying isn't real ... unless Vade does it, then it's really, really bad, it really affected people, and it's evidence of how bad she is! No, it's relative to political orientation.

Since I quit regularly posting here I joined the Disney Channel fandom. There are plenty of lolcows, funny trolls, and drama there and it's just me milking them. And the people are relatively normal and there isn't a nigger-faggot-Jew person in sight. No one pretends they're a victim because you can't buy a rebel flag at Walmart. Powerlevel me if you want, it would just prove my point that enforcement of cultural norms and not freedom is what this place is about.
 
Is the kiwiupdates tumblr related to this?
 
I always thought the best rule was "Don't get mad". People are going to disagree with you, people are going to have different viewpoints. If you can't find a common ground, smile, nod, and accept that you don't get to dictate other people's thoughts and opinions.

And as a corollary: we document drama. Drama happens when people get mad and rage. Try not to rage.

The internet is very serious, please type extended treatises about how people who hurt your feelings online are wrong.

Also please fill out this form while you are at it as we at the kiwi farms are very concerned about any butthurt

In seriousness, I think the new changes sound good but whether they are good is yet to be seen. I like the sound of the lolcow news site and more attention to the wiki. As it is time consuming to dive into some of the more popular lolcows due to the volume of information surrounding the lolcows. That is needed.
 
One of the best things about the Farms is the diversity of topics we discuss. I've enjoyed observing and discussing lolcows, but I've also had really great conversations about other, serious topics like politics, religion, and current events. Topics that could lead to spergstorms of drama on other sites are sometimes discussed in a more reasonable manner here, which is a bit odd.

When things do boil over into a shitnami of drama here, though, it's pretty hilarious. There's that, too.
 
I have to say, Kiwi Farms actually opened my point of view quite a bit. It helped me realize that I easily could've been a lolcow (and probably was one) and I'm learning how to not be as autistic in the lolcow kind of sense. Yes, I still shitpost once in a while (like with posting what is literally my reaction to some of the things I see), but I try to do it in a more entertaining fashion. I'm also learning to not take things so seriously and learn to laugh at stuff, even myself at times.

Out of all the sites I've joined, Kiwi Farms is hands down the one with the least amount of drama and no doubt the sanest userbase, especially compared to sites like Deviantart, tumblr, Fanfiction.Net, and other sites with rather terrible reputations like LiveJournal, SlutHate, Lookism, etc. I like that this site has self-awareness of the amount of autism/insanity that happens here, especially compared to other sites.

For the lolcow wiki, it would be nice to contribute an article on some of the cows featured, but I suck at writing. English was one of my worst subjects because of this.
 
Before I joined I thought this was the kind of site that would peel off your face and wear it as a mask, but it's more like a friendly community of sometimes-deranged homeless people.
Metaphorically of course.

I think this is part of the reason people stay- unless you're literally a criminal or a Vade-level person it's generally rather civil. heck, even the Lolcows often post on their own threads.

It's helped to appreciate just how mad some mainstream sites and people can be. Like the sunglasses from They Live except not at all because that doesn't actually make sense.


It's also a far larger one than I realised, and I hope it continues to grow as-is, or at least doesn't drop off've a cliff.

If this post makes no sense/is made of shit I'm sorry . I ate too much pizza and woke up at 5:30am.
