It began the night The Drunken Peasants broke up. DP had supplied me with no end of entertainment through their near constant badgering of such uniquely bizarre personalities including Brett Keane, Gman, Onision, and Gail(When DP themselves weren't playing the role of lolcow that is). They were also my first glimpse into the story of Chris Chan. When they split up I began to suffer from sever lolcow withdraws and proceeded to attempt supplementing with channels like Down The Rabbit Hole, Mad At The Internet, Rekieta Law, etc. All the while I kept hearing about Kiwi Farms, a name I was not familiar with among the 4chans, 8chans, and Encyclopedia Dramaticas of the internet.
It wasn't until people began recommending ContraPoints' videos to me that I finally ended up visiting the site. It just so happened to be the first page on Google that I found to have anything negative to say about Contra so I started reading. Nothing really came of that though besides reaffirming my belief that Contra was skeevy. It wasn't until the Vic Mignogna situation that I finally joined the site so that I could get all the breaking news and commentate on the developments in real time.
What really surprised me was that most of you seem to be genuinely nice people. Probably better people than me in most regards. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this. In a world where it seems like everyone is going insane regardless of politics I managed to find an oddly comfortable little place where people aren't screaming at me for liking memes or mad because I said midget or trap.
