I'm hopeful that since we're a lot smaller and don't have a reputation for being a big stalking/doxxing movement and don't allow overt racism and anti-semitism like KF does that we have a decent chance for survival.

Still scary as hell though that one TRA can get something as big as KF shut down over one fake threat though. "Oppressed minority" my ass. The trans community must be the most powerful "oppressed" group I've ever seen.

Never seen bigger backlash for questioning a minority group than when it happens to trans people. You can legitimately be ready to get your reputatiom destroyed to ashes if you even raise a finger. Insane.

KF is responsible for 3 alleged suicides, two of which are trans-identified people. Julie Terryberry (a biological woman) had a thread on KF, but from what I understand her suicide wasn't a result of her thread, but instead a relationship she was in. Some speculate that Near/Byuu didn't commit suicide, but I'm not exactly sure about that -- and even still, Byuu's thread was only 13 pages before the alleged suicide, so any harassment Byuu may have faced certainly wasn't spearheaded by the Farms.

Porn sites have caused way more suicides than Kiwi Farms has. Tons of women commit suicide and face harassment when their revenge porn is uploaded, and that could be stopped if porn sites were shut down. But because no more porn sites means TIMs can't coom, they'll never campaign to shut down porn sites, no matter how many people they hurt.
