What do you dislike about Kiwifarms? - Speaking Ill of Eden

The doomposting is a bit much at times to the point where I believed a bunch of the shit said in there. Granted, the sentiment isn’t necessarily unwarranted considering all the crazy shit going on right now, but they aren’t exactly helpful or do anything productive.

Sometimes it’s best to just step away from all the negative things and do something that’s healthy.

This, 100x this. I get that things are shit now, but they've always been shitty in one way or another. If the shit that happened in the 80's or 90's were happening now, people on KF would still be doomposting. The site could do with a little less pessimism, that shit is contagious.

Doesn't help that it's already clogging up every other website out there (and not just with the economy, climate or Covid. It seems like all the Rapture, Nostradamus and Nibiru nutters are driving out in full force as well).

Yes, the world sucks, but at this point talking about is not only doing jack shit to fix the issue, it's getting out of hand.
 
I don't think the doomposting is unwarranted simply because we're becoming trapped in either the past or the hell of our own skulls. Culture is at an all-time low, with everything being big cheesy reboots or intellectual property characters belonging to some entertainment conglomerate. Unlike the web 1.0 days you can barely voice an opinion online now without receiving penalties for either how you expressed it or what the system thought you expressed. We're in both a fanatical, mechanical hell.

There really is nothing to look forward to all of our youths, or what remains of it. Think about that. Our best, youngest, healthiest years are going to be thrown away on this shit. Oh, how I'd love to go to concerts, see acts and bands I love, meet fellow fans and have a blast...! But music these days? It's so fucking bad. There's a few bands here and there, but almost nothing that stirs up the excitement the big 60s, 70s, 80s, and some 90s bands had. Almost every young man in America just rots his brain on video games all day. What else can he do? His only reliable option to publicly socialize these days is going to the bar or pub and overpaying for watered-down drinks, sitting at the bar, and hope someone feels like talking to him--in which he gets an awkward 4 minutes of conversation out of them, ending after he figures out how utterly incompatible they both are.

This is the world now, this. There is nothing more and will be nothing more.

As for my opinion on KF, I think there's too much of a lack of compassion "for the lulz" and the Farms should consider those with mental health issues differently than they do the really toxic people. Think Terry Davis vs. Chris Chan. While both had/have severe mental issues, Chris Chan is also a genuinely terrible person.
 
post counts not under the name of the poster when i first saw that is was not there my mind exploded back when i first regigstered to this forum probably would have joined the forum two years earlier if not for the post count number and stuff because when I post on forums and stuff usually I would view that number WHOOOOOAAAA EVERYBODY!!!!!! .....but i remember people making posts and null made a post etc saying that he took the post number off of from under the name because he said new people would sometimes make profiles and pretend to be veteran members of the forum who been here a long time and it made it harder for them to pretend to be long term users when they had low post count numbers! this information i explain to you,

Fair enough. What bothers me most is not the cultural doomposting but the political/financial doomposting - COVID, the next depression, WW3, that kind of shit.
 
Although foundational to the site in many ways, I don't 'get' the appeal of the lolcows, deathfats, and other sundry losers.

There's something deeply ironical about being a member of this website, and waxing schadenfreude about others. My gut reasoning is 'losers feeling better about their own lives by punching down.'

I've skimmed a thread or two about Lolcows whose podcasts or other work I know, but that's about it. Posting novels online about some fat fuck 5,000 miles away? Yeah, not for me. Ain't enough time in the day for that.
 
the resistance to new users and the assumption that join date equates to worth.

i've lurked for almost five years. in that time, i've seen some things, learned some things, and experienced some things that i never would have, were it not for my lurking. i've also financially supported the farms for those five years.

i've watched the site change, without truly being affected by that change. i've always supported josh, too, even when i think that he's wrong. what he does is more important that what he doesn't do, as far as i'm concerned. there have only been a couple of times that circumstances have made me question my devotion to him and to the farms.
the first was after the leak, specifically when dyn left, i was heartbroken, because i agreed with why he left and it made me reconsider why i lurked. i'll be honest, i shed a tear or two when i saw that smiling little yellow ball return.
the second time was after the merge. i was sickened, because it was fucking sickening, but also because i just felt horrible for josh. within a week though, i had to reconsider that opinion, as well.

tl;dr: just because i joined yesterday doesn't mean i haven't been invested for much longer!

Newfags can be autistic and obnoxious, but there’s a few oldfags here that act just as retarded and seem to get a pass because of their seniority.
 
On the technical side, as mentioned previously, half of the videos never loading.

I’ll add the inability to turn off or hide avatars with motion. Damn, that shit’s annoying and distracting.
 
Many people have a cunty air of superiority about them simply for being better than the most pathetic people on Earth.
 
Only thing I can really think of to dislike here is that there seem to be some people who take this shit far too seriously. For fucks sake you faggots its just a web forum. Not everyone will line up with your political views, not everyone will like the same music you like, hell, some of them may not even wipe their puckered turd cutters the same way you do. Call them niggerfaggots like a good internet denizen and get over it.

I think it's fun to earn them legitimately. The stalkers who give them out constantly for no reason are boring though, like @secret watcher and @snailslime

I seem to recall having seen at least a couple posts from @snailslime but I am 99% sure that @secret watcher is just the alt account of someone else, I've noticed they tend to assign their ratings in a pattern according to the sentiments of a handful of posters much more consistently than anything. Null should charge another $20 on top of T&H fan for the ability to add more than one rating per post because I feel like they and some others would pull their wallets so fast they'd give their covered ass a rug burn.
 
People who still bitch about A&H, especially since it's been around in one form or another for longer than many people have even been users. In general I have less and less patience for parasitic left-leaning users who only seem to be here because they want to bitch about trannies without getting in trouble. When Null posted and stickied his screed about the evils of journalists it was disheartening how many long-time users where more upset and worried about THE EXTREME RIGHT-WINGERS BULLYING THE POOR JOURNALISTS as the site was getting DDoS'd into unusability and a network of journalists were publishing outright lies about Byuu killing himself. It's annoying to see thread after thread in Happenings get spammed by the same people over and over, who then gather in certain threads to bitch endlessly about how the racists A&N make the site unusable. I'm very tired of seeing claims that A&H is going to bring the wrath of the powers that be down on Null, when as far as has been made public there have only been two users whose posts have generated a legal response, one being complete bullshit, and the other being Sig, who was so butthurt that A&H existed he shitposted himself into an actual threat.
 
The Americans.

Firstly their attitude towards their own media. Yeah, your tv-shows, comics, movies and video games might have a tad of forced diversity and censorship of certain topics. BUT you still put out some amazing stuff in all these mediums. So, what is the point of writing up page long analysis claiming that the last audience favourite, record breaking blockbuster was actually propped up by paid reviews and human automatons with the explicit goal of draining the living essence of every white male in the world? Just enjoy ffs. I know I do.

Secondly, you are such doomers. Even if you really are hopeless, repeating "give up give up give up" helps none.

Thirdly, I don't like Americans.
 
There's this sorta cult of personality thing going on where some resident character in the forums pops up in any thread, says their piece whether its relevant to the topic at hand or not, gets highlighted, and the next two pages are people responding to their post, ultimately two pages of nothing if you don't know or care about the more known users around

I find Ethan Ralph boring as fuck, yet the guy gets constant paragraph long features on the main page while hilarious shit like that faggot Jack Murphy, who i never would've checked otherwise, must be 'forced' into the front page
 
Not an issue that is unique to KF but the way people seem very worried about dancing around a topic with a sense of cynical detachment. I get that you don't want to encourage a-logging or full blown spergery but sometimes posts devolve into pointless 'I care even less / am more doomer than youuu' fests on some topics.
