kiwifarms was founded as an imageboard explicitly dedicated to the stalking and harassment of a specific autistic trans woman

doxxing and harassment carried out via kiwifarms has been linked to the suicide of another trans woman (chloe sagal). their thread on her, in all its spiteful original language, remains up to this day.

kiwifarms’ founder is also the former lead developer of 8chan, one of the most prolific hives of violent white nationalists online today

kiwifarms as a whole is baldly transparent about the fact that it sees lbgt, neurodivergent, and mentally ill folks as a source of entertainment because of their lgbt/nd status and mental illness. they do not hide this fact.

Sometimes, kiwifarms may host a thread about someone who is a truly bad person. They are still a hate site. Stop using them as a source, full stop. Any information worth actually calling out on someone can be gathered elsewhere and by other means. Just because they dislike someone you also think is bad does not mean kf is worth giving the time of day. Some nazis hate cops- we still know better than to rub shoulders with them or trust them as sources on why the police should be dismantled, because we recognize that the problems we have with the police are completely different from the reason they dislike them. It should not be so hard to do the same for a website like this. I know that the individual views and aims of kiwifarm users may vary, but all of them are people who are ok with posting on a website where slurs and virulently hateful language wrt trans, neurodivergent, and mentally ill people are used regularly. All are people who are ok with posting on a website run by an antisemitic white nationalist. All are people who are ok with posting on a website founded on the stalking and harassment of a single human being. All of them are ok with posting on a website that has blood on its hands.
