Kiwi Farms Media Mentions

[Fougaro]

Wow nice to a positive shout out from the SPLC

It's only natural. Kiwi Farms is a pro-Israel site of peace after all.

 

[Cool kitties club]

Kiwifarms is being investigated by the federal government as a hate group in connection with this incident and a number of other alleged malicious crimes.

Kiwifarms is a website dedicated to harassing autistic trans women into dying by suicide.

We need the "big shoutout to sean ranklin" guy to hold up a sign with the kf logo at wrestlemania

According to a user of the "Kiwi Farms" forum Alison Rapp has even a past in the red light milieu and act as a prostitute.

Never mind the non existent death threats, since when are we anti-trans?

Correct, we're not anti-trans, we're anti-troon.

 

[Chronic Perturbator]

Guess, they don't know about "47%", like any other progressive media.

It's Russian media. Trans stuff isn't big here, and definitely wasn't back when the article was written. Besides, the more liberal editors and writers group left the site in 2014 following a firing of the head editor.
So, they're just retards or looked at what Forbes and such said and just trusted blindly, since it's a non-story meant to fill up the site, not exactly national news.

Found another article in Russian about Sagal's death.
https://360tv.ru/news/mir/transgendernaja-zhenschina-sgorela-izza-travli-v-ssha/
It's a news site I know nothing about, but the fact that they refer to the Origonian as the source already tells you a lot about the article. Kiwifarms is called a gaming forum and referred to as Kiwi Farm.
Was there an unannounced, retconned name change? Did we buy out the neighbouring farm or something after Sagal's death?

Oh, and besides that there's been a couple of mentions of Farms on some reeee normie forums, but they're mostly unnoteworthy. Lots of comments going on about fags and trannies, a couple in support of Sagal, a couple against bullying, harassment and so on. I'm sure there's been some mentions of the Farms in the hyper-progressive parts of the Russian Internet, but I don't go there, so I'm not sure how to find that.

Hold on, fucking Pewdiepie mentioned and thanked the farms?
Where's my ad revenue Felix?

 

[Mender Bug]

Please tell me if any these have already been found, but here is what I found. Sorry if all I'm posting is duplicates.

The first article I found
The NewYorker- Mentioned as a Cyberbullying Hub
https://www.newyorker.com/tech/anna...e-daily-stormer-wander-the-digital-wilderness

This wasn’t the first controversial Web site that Dias had abetted [Referencing the Daily Stormer]. Last year, on the Daily Kos, Margaret Pless called him out for hosting an infamous cyberbullying hub called Kiwi Farms, which, as she noted in a separate article for New York, “specializes in harassing people they perceive as being mentally ill or sexually deviant in some way.” The site has been associated with at least one target’s suicide. Pless told me that she had attempted to contact Dias multiple times without receiving a response. Later, though, Kiwi Farms apparently switched providers, quietly vacating Frantech’s servers.

I mainly found some articles talking about William Edward Atchison.
Talks about Atchison and his online activity. Gives a paragraph about Kiwi Farms.

Spoiler: Daily Beast

https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-m...ecret-life-on-pro-trump-white-supremacy-sites

On Kiwi Farms, a forum that describes itself as a place for “gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes,” Atchison frequently posted commemorations of mass shooters. Two days before his own school shooting, under his username “Fuck You,” Atchison posted an explicit sexual reply endorsing Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath, a failed mass shooter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. (Atchison used a photo of Kiwi Farms administrator Josh Moon as his profile picture for Steam.)

Heres an SPLC article talking about Atchison which mentions Kiwi Farms, as an alt-right favored website.

Spoiler: SPLC

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch...r’s-involvement-racist-alt-right-overwhelming

Another article talking about Atchison, which mentions he used Kiwi Farms.

Spoiler: Daily Times

https://www.daily-times.com/story/n...ing-investigation-william-atchison/513013002/

All 3 articles don't really talk about us in depth, but mentions us as either a cyberbullying and or alt-right website. I know the Daily Times talks about us, but could not find where.

 

[Petronella]

I love how this forum has rules against we.ening or directly trolling cows but all these articles keep talking about "harassment campaigns" and cows being driven to suicide

 

[OG 666]

Dunno if this falls into the category of what you're looking for, but there is a change.org petition started by one "Yahel Eisenberg." It managed to get about 700 signatures in the past few months.

Lmao Guru Gossip is the internet equivalent of old biddies at the salon talking shit while they get perms. They're about as "cyberbullies" as your grandma.

I believe the KKK has public-facing rules or code of conduct regarding not harming minorities and simply spreading pamphlet info, but really you're expected to read between the lines and cover your tracks with plausible deniability. At least that's the argument they're trying to make for terrorist organizations like the Farms.

 

[Desire Lines]

the chloe segal situation also gets a mention in this russian media article
https://lenta.ru/news/2018/07/06/studentlove
also maybe offtopic, but i decided to look through the biggest russian social media site VK and found out the chloe segal article is the first one to put the site on the radar there, so there is that

 

[CWCissey]

This thread makes me smile.

It's hilarious to think how we cause the mass media to freak out with our existence.

 

[OG 666]

Edit: I'll continue to add to this post if I find more.

Vice: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/neq9zx/whats-wrong-with-the-no-trans-dating-preference-debate

It is especially dangerous for trans women who speak out against transphobia and abuse. The last time I wrote an article about transphobia, I was featured on Kiwifarms (a troll website dedicated to abusing, harassing, and embarrassing transgender folks and those who suffer from mental health issues). A group of aggrieved trolls dug up my Internet history, misgendered me, threatened me, and lamented that me and people like me should not exist.

Autostraddle: https://www.autostraddle.com/the-internet-is-leaving-queers-behind-387305/

Queer and trans people (especially those who aren’t male or white) are disproportionately likely to be targeted by doxxing sites like kiwifarms or 8chan’s /baphomet/ board, whose users take advantage of the long trail of online history most of us now have to our names to track down and spread their targets’ personal information.

Chloe Sagal

Ah, I remember her. Good times, good times. They say if the wind is blowing just right you can still smell the burning flesh.

 

[Pepito The Cat]

Chloe Sagal and the farms got an article in the Gaymer.com News site spanish edition some time ago:

[RomanesEuntDomus]

KF really needs to stop slacking, otherwise we'll never get a sweet-ass nickname like "Internet Hate Machine" or the adage of "Hackers on Steroids".
Hell, at this pace, we won't even get frightened people hiding behind curtains and vans randomly blowing up.

 

[LocalFireDept]

If the Kiwi Farms were truly alt-right we'd have banned @Cosmos, @AnOminous, and @Marvin forever ago. And probably @Super Collie and @Y2K Baby for funsies.

It was a mistake not to ban @Y2K Baby for degeneracy, though.
