A Brief Summary on Kiwifarms and Keffals, for Radblr

Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, was a forum website that originated due to the fascination with Christian Weston Chandler, the creator of the comic Sonichu and who is currently awaiting trial for sexual battery against his mother who has deteriorating cognition due to her age. For an in-depth reason as to why Christian Weston Chandler became a fascination with people, here is the link to the ongoing documentary series.

The site changed its name once it became to branch out into discussing people that they saw as behaving just as eccentrically as Chandler, referring to them as lolcows (hence the farms in their name). The website talks in a manner similar to the "old internet", more specifically mannerisms from older 4chan. Lolcows are not exclusive to a certain political party, group, or identity. In order for a website like Kiwi Farms to take an interest in a person, they must fulfill the requirements of this term.

Stefan Blitz published an interesting read back in 2012 that references the reasons into why users such as those from Kiwi Farms would take an interest in an online figure: unwarranted self-importance; disturbing secrets, typically of a sexual nature; unhealthy obsessions; and a person's responsiveness to inflammatory comments.

For anything good you can say about the site (Kiwi Farms aided in archiving evidence against a group of animal and child abusers), there is something bad you can say about the website.

Because of how Kiwi Farms users speak, Kiwi Farms does not appear rules of conduct. However, the main rule I could find from accessing the site before its deletion was a rule to not engage with the people that they were discussing. I do not know how strict this rule is due to Null's previous engagements with Chandler, but the rule appears to have become stricter after Chandler was extorted by a group called the Idea Guys (see link to the documentary). Users do, however, doxx people of interest, and their common justification is either that the people of interest made their location public knowledge, such as Christian Chandler (or arguably Keffals in some certain incidents), or that the information is publicly accessible due to the existence of websites such as Facebook and the WhitePages. From that perspective, doxxing is viewed as an ethical problem rather than a legal problem.

In Regards to the Alleged Connection to Mass Shootings

The connection to a mass shooting is in reference to the Christchurch shooting in New Zealand. Users from New Zealand had archived the video footage that was streamed by the shooter's Facebook Live. New Zealand authorities contacted the administer of Kiwi Farms for the IP addresses of New Zealand users to prosecute for disturbing obscene materials, but Null had refused (in a rather rude manner).

Kiwi Farms and Suicide

The claim of the three suicides being related to Kiwi Farms is more complex. Of course, it is understandable people have an impression as these accountants as true when Kiwi Farms users are seen making fun of the claims.

The most common accountant revolves around a programmer named that went by the name Byuu or Near, who was best known for emulation of the N64. When a user had created a thread dedicated to Byuu's online footprint and controversies, the thread was interacted with irregularity until Byuu responded on 7 February, 2020, to his thread. He initially responded positively to the thread. However, Byuu would go on to e-mail Null to have his thread taken down, stating he planned to commit suicide if his request was denied. Here is a video I found with screenshots of the thread, as the .ru link is having technical issues, and here is a mirror of Null discussing Byuu on his livestream, Mad at the Internet. (Note: Again, Kiwi Farms speak is similar to the speak of Old Internet/4Chan. That includes Null).

Sagal's death is more complicated, as the behavior by Kiwi Farms users could have been a potential factor in their death, albeit not the main reason. Sagal was a video game developer who became known due to an incident with Indiegogo. Sagal started an Indiegogo on the premise the money would go to a shrapnel removal surgery. However, the website would remove their campaign under "suspicious activity," alleging when it was revealed the $35,000 was not for the surgery they stated. It would be confirmed that the funds went instead to gender reassignment surgeries. Years later, Sagal would sit down in Lownsdale Square and read a statement they wrote about homelessness and mental health. They would then doused themselves in a flammable liquid and set themself ablaze. After either a fire hydrant or fire extinguisher had been located (accountants had different reports on the item that doused the flames), a witness asked them why they had done the action. Before they died at the hospital due to injury, Sagal was reported to be in a state of shock, but it is alleged that they said their actions were because they were homeless and did not know what else to do. Their death has been suspected to be an example of the most extreme forms of political protest.

Like Sagal, Julie Terryberry's death was complicated. Dying at the age of 19, the focus on Kiwi Farms users' response to her online presence led to multiple outlets ignoring the role that predatory adult men took in the situation. It is confirmed that Julie Terryberry was isolated to the house of Mike Holland at the age of 18, but it suspected that Mike Holland had her in his home at a younger age. Mike Holland was age 28 at the time her thread was posted, with Julie having just turned 18. Mike Holland would have Julie residing in a cluttered shed, beat her during sex, and would also pressure her into camming. I will not be looking for an archive of her thread, as I believe it is likely that explicit photos of her are within the thread.

Who is Keffals?

Keffals is a Canadian internet streamer, known for a fixation with ratioing on Twitter. He became notorious after claiming he was the reason another streamer, Destiny, was banned from Twitch. His reason for advocating for the streamer's ban was due to his position on transgender male athletes in female sports during a live-streamed debate. If it is to be believed that Keffals is responsible, it would have been most likely due to Keffals having his follower base mass report Destiny from the website.

Last month, Keffals was swatted when an impersonator sent out a mass e-mail to Canadian politicians. Keffals' reaccounting of the incident would change when interviewed. Online, Keffals would say he had been woken up to a rifle in his face [0:00-0:06]. When interviewed by Global News, Keffals would say he had walked into the hallway where he first saw the assault rifle. Ontario authorities released a report which stated that officers had knocked on Keffals' door with guns pointed at the ground. The authorities would seize his electronics, which prompted his discord moderators to begin mass deleting.

Keffals would have his location doxxed by a female Kiwi Farms user when he posted pictures of his cats on his hotel bed. He would be doxxed a third time when he uploaded photos of food sent to his airbnb, despite being told that he was confirming his location by doing so. Keffals then announced plans to leave Canada for Ireland on stream, again with protest from supporters to not share this knowledge with them, which lead to his most recent doxx when he then also announced the name of the person he would be staying with.

The allegations of inappropriate interactions with underaged people by Keffals is in relation to him sponsoring the DIY HRT Directory, as well as his former Discord group known as "Catboy Ranch."

DIY HRT Directory

When accessing the DIY HRT Directory, you will scroll down and see the cautionary warning that the site does not provide medical advice and to seek advice from a qualified healthcare provider. However, statements made by those in relations to the website have indicated no disagreements with advertising the site to underaged persons.

Within the guide titled 'transfem,' it is noted that all forms of HRT will likely make the user infertile. If a user does become infertile, it will likely be irreversible. Other notable side effects can include blood clots, dehydration, B12 deficiency, depression, liver toxicity, and lung toxicity. After the section about side effects, it goes into a section titled 'Homebrewed vs. Overseas.' Although they acknowledge that medicine produced by pharmeutical companies have less inherent risks to consuming, the section then reads, "If you want to acquire DIY injections that aren’t prohibitively expensive/difficult to source, homebrewed injections are the only options available" (DIY HRT Directory). Finally, Sourcing/Dosing goes into detail on how to "do-it-yourself" for hormone-replacement therapy.

Curiously, the guide titled 'transmasc' does not have a section for side effects. It is much shorter than the other guide, which makes it go into do-it-yourself instructions much quicker. It does mention the legality of testosterone in passing, though.

Catboy Ranch

Catboy Ranch was a Discord server ran by Keffals and other adults. The twitter account for the server is believed to be have ran by Keffals at some point. The imagery around Catboy Ranch was inherently sexual in nature, as were the conversations and content within the server. Allegations include illicit materials from minors, sexually explicit conversations between minors and adults, and sending petplay collars to users which have a subset of minors in the userbase. It is still debatable if Keffals was one of the adults who actively engaged with the minors on Catboy Ranch or if Keffals was one of the adults who refused to take action against what they were witnessing. Either way, it shows that Keffals is irresponsible at best and malicious at work.

keffals, a trans woman, is leading the movement against k*wifarms, one of the biggest hubs of alt right shitstains on the internet, in less than a month she’s accomplished what previously seemed impossible, forcing k*wifarms out of their .net domain and into a far less safe .ru one that dosent even show up on most search engines

meanwhile the “feminists” on mumsnet and ovarit  not only stayed silent, but actively DEFENDED k*wifarms, the site thats been linked to ta AT LEAST three suicides and one mass shooting

and yet somehow we’re to blame when right wingers make life worse for everyone

Washoe was a common chimpanzee and the first ever non-human to learn how to communicate with sign language. She was raised as close to a human child as possible. One of her care workers, Kat, suffered a miscarriage and took a few weeks off work. When she returned, Washoe seemed upset that she had left her for a prolonged period of time. Kat signed that she was sorry and signed “my baby died,” to which Washoe responded by signing the word “cry” before running her finger down Kat’s cheek, mimicking a tear. She then asked Kat for a hug. Washoe, who had lost her own babies, appeared to be sympathetic and understanding toward Kat’s own pain and loss.

So many feminists on radblr right now are furious that women won't go on a sex strike to draw attention to the overturning of roe, and they act like it's because straight/bi women are slaves to dick. Please don't forget that many, many women engage in and even initiate sex in order to "ward off" rape or sexual assault by their partners. This is often a compulsive behavior that women refuse to acknowledge or analyze, it's a product of trauma and fear. By initiating sex or refusing to say no without ever asking whether or not they realistically want to have this sex, women are able to tell themselves that they are in control of when they can and cannot say yes. This doesn't even mean that all of these women are actively being abused-- a huge amount of women develop this pattern simply from picking up on the rape culture we live in, it can be developed after a single incident, whatever, and the behavior is continued with all/most male partners. The unconscious reasoning is that "you can't rape the willing"-- this is a huge part of why sexually abused women can become hypersexual. If you demand that women go on a sex strike, in their minds you are asking them to give up a tool they have developed to ensure that they are not raped, whether they realize it or not; I'm sure you can see why there would be vehement pushback.

I am absolutely not saying that we should stop demanding sex strikes, but I am saying that we need to be aware of the exact reasons of why there is so much pushback. This isn't "OSA women are weak", this is "OSA women are traumatized in a very specific way and have developed a behavior pattern that they believe keeps them safer, and you are asking them to leave that behind". Most women have done exactly zero work to understand their sexual trauma even when there is overt abuse, let alone the more subtle trauma of living in our patriarchal rape culture-- women are literally going to have a triggered response to this demand.

Just understand.

With the rise of figures like Andrew Tate and the manosphere, it's become imperative that women and marginalized groups practice self-preservation to the fullest. A lot of these men and boys hate you and see you as unworthy of any sort of humanity. There is no reasoning with these sorts of individuals and they will only understand to not mess with you through actions, not words.

If you can, pick up self-defence classes, learn how to use weapons (including guns), weed your social circle of any sort of apologist or fan of misogynistic figures, never entertain men that show you the slightest inclination of bigotry while dating, check out on your female and queer friends, look for community spaces to look out for one another, if you have kids make sure to monitor what kind of content they are consuming online, etc.

These are honestly scary times and this radicalization of young men isn't likely to stop any time soon. Our safety should never be a stepping stone for the maturity journey of other people. Hating women should never be normalized as a "phase" for young men to go through. Enough of the excuses, time to hold them accountable.

I feel that bisexuality and lesbianism have a commonality in how the fantasy of these sexual orientations are treated [as a sexual fantasy and porn category] versus how the reality of these sexual orientations are treated [stigmatization, disgust, sexual violence, interpersonal violence].

Absolutely incredible that this is the SECOND search result.

I would argue that the average women that comes to mind when we think of 'rich women' doesn't have actual access to that wealth associated with her. More often than not, it is a man's wealth that can be taken away from her at a moment's notice.

Early pornographic magazines, such as Playboy, Hustler, and Penthouse desensitized society to pornographic images and making it mainstream, which made videos less outragous and led directly to the demand for more hardcore content. It continues now in 2022 to get more extreme. Violence against women in porn is not only in high demand, but is also so normalized that people are no longer ashamed of having porn addictions and speaking on them publicly. We are desensitized to the brutalization of women

I remember when people said “omg don’t talk about the fact Kobe Bryant was ever accused of sexual assault because um.. reasons <3 it makes us feel sad!” Then people also decided to say “also you can’t say his victim would be sad to see people celebrating him because you aren’t in her head <3£ oh wow Sherlock you’re so intelligent. It doesn’t take a genius to know that it wouldn’t feel great to know the world is celebrating your rapist! It’s not hard to imagine that it would feel shit. But twitter activists sure felt proud of themselves for spouting abuse apologism.
