Glad this place exists so I don't have to make another stupid thread myself.
The Negativity - Especially in the Lolcow sections, even when a cow deserves credit for a genuine accomplishment, there's this unspoken rule that you have to be a negative nancy 100% of the time. Null used to say "don't get angry about lolcows" but apparently that's gone by the wayside, with now endless ranting about how they're all terrible people, often for very minor flaws.
That A Lot of Parts Have Become Very Social Justice-esque - I came to KF to
get away from Social Justice Warriors, but these days I often see KF posters sound
just like I remember SJWs sounding. The same sort of moralfagging, often with the exact same targets (wanting to ban anime because of sexual shit, for example).
Corallory:
The Revisionist History - "Uhh, SJWs never said that! They
want more degeneracy so you'll troon out!" Oh? Then what was the Stellar Blade controversy about? That was only last year, no way you forgot.
The Anti-Fun Attitude - I've mentioned
elsewhere the "having any fun at all makes you troon out!" guys... and I notice that absolutely none of the people I was talking about tried to prove me wrong or back up their belief in any substantial way (the one guy who
did respond just
threw an idiotic strawman and went into a rant about how kids should go outdoors more).
But also, there's been things like, for example, the guy who tried to start that riddle game... and people were just like "stop being such a faggot." Seriously, a lot of posters here probably don't get invited to parties very often because they're such killjoys.
It's kinda funny that the same website that gets into wokeness for ruining all our hobbies, doesn't even seem to
like said hobbies much to begin with. Anyone who ever smiles is a "faggot," "tranny," or "nigger" according to most KF users. Speaking of which....
The Slurs - I don't mind them when used in moderation, but KF nowadays often reads like an edgy 13-year-old's blogpost where all he's trying to do is get a rise by using as many no-no words as possible. It doesn't make these people look smart or make me think they're "free speech warriors," it actually just makes the forum read as juvenile, like half the userbase is Beavis and Butt-head.
All the Grossout - Why the fuck is it that the minute you get to less censored parts of the internet, suddenly you're surrounded with people who are obsessed with poop, urine, and jizz? I had to stop browsing Q&A because so many topic titles were grossing me out.
I can only
hope that this stuff is because a lot of the userbase is legitimately young and still thinks this stuff is interesting or funny. If it's anyone over the age of 30 who is like this, I'm sorry... you're a failure of sentience.
The Increasingly Strict Definition of "Woke" - "I don't think we should knee-jerk assume this is woke just because the main character is a teenage girl. I mean, nobody considers the Valis games woke."
"OMG YOU'RE DEFENDING WOKENESS!"
Corallory: Assuming anyone who doesn't post about hating trannies 100%, they must be taking HRT. Yes I literally got this accusation once just for the crime of saying "you know not everything relates back to trannies, right?"
The Single-Minded Obsession With Certain Topics - No, not everything has to be about trans people, jews, or the black community. I swear I could post a topic called "hey, who remembers Battletoads?" and within a page it would be about trans people.
Related,
The Lack of Any Real Praxis in Beliefs - I just posted about this, the recurrent idea I hear Kiwis say is "kill all the trannies and the world will be good again!" But the world has a lot of problems and most of the major ones have absolutely nothing to do with people who decided to take HRT and get body modifications. How will getting rid of trans people stop all the fun hangout spots from being torn down or make McDonalds bring back the colorful red roofs?
The war on Porn is another one, Kiwis seem to think that it would be easy to just unilaterally ban it and there'd be no problems and we'd suddenly be in a magical utopia. Because that's
exactly how Prohibition worked, right?
Also, I should not have to qualify that "I'm not a porn fan" but a lot of Kiwis will take reasonable questions and concerns as being "defensive"--just another way Kiwis are becoming SJWs, who often did the same thing (remember when questioning them on anything would make them scream "you're just protecting your privilege!"? The Kiwi version is "you're just protecting your coom stash!")
The Inability to Handle Criticism - This one will demonstrate itself as soon as someone actually reads this post. If you're reading this at a later date (say, 30+ days after posting) just look at the stickers. I guarantee you all the negative ones will come from butthurt people. In a worst case scenario, some fake grown man will have run to the mods.
And as stated, whenever Kiwis are actually challenged on anything, often they turn tail and run, or just resort to saying slurs over and over. Too much of KF has become an echo chamber and too many people are too used to never being challenged.
Corallory,
Fake Grown Men Who Run to the Mods - I've had at least two occasions where I was threadbanned for "being off-topic," but really what happened was some manbaby got mad I was challenging them on something. The cherry on top? In both cases I was actually
entirely ON topic, but the mods apparently don't bother to check that a complaint actually has basis in reality before they act.
Bastards Who Make Posts That Are Way Too Long .... wait....
