The only real, actual problem with kiwifarms is the natural lack of ability to enforce any part of that culture on their rogues. Yes, they say don't touch the poop. And out of 200 people who might latch onto a particular lolcow, 195 of them will follow that tenet. Its the 5 who don't who keep getting the site in the news, so to speak. This is fair to address because frankly the farms as a whole have no power to do fuckall about it or even monitor it, so they're not to blame for it. But it does happen.

There's also a matter of the times the community will attempt to create a lolcow instead of just finding and observing one. They single out someone who appears like they might be eccentric and start stalking them, which is really off-putting to a normal person. The normal person freaks out about it and KF builds a huge strawman out of them and starts making fun of that, which confuses and upsets the real person, which the kiwis take as "proof" that the person was a lolcow all along. It doesn't seem to happen as often as it used to, but its a really dirty thing that happened quite often in the past.
