Hi there,
It's been a while since I last posted here (I usually don't have anything constructive to say that adds to the conversation), but I've come across a topic of late which I simply have to ask you guys about.
I'm sure that at least a decent amount of the people who browse this forum know of the website called Kiwifarms. If not, I suppose you can google it, though I'm sure you won't get a just description of what that website is all about from the likes of Google. To put it in the simplest terms, Kiwifarms is mainly a gossiping forum about chiefly Internet-celebrities and their often silly shenanigans. These people are called "lolcows", simply because they "produce milk" through their tomfoolery that the users of the website can enjoy (I hate the term "lolcow" by the way: it's apt in describing the "milking of odd and silly people for laughs", but it's such a childish and "edgy" term that I just can't use it seriously).
Other than gossiping and "milking" Internet-personalities for laughs, it's a forum in which you can discuss almost anything. One of the liberating aspects of the website, which is almost unheard of on the Internet nowadays, is that there is no handholding, and that you can say the "n-word" and "tranny" freely. It's basically a haven for political incorrectness, but there is also a generally agreed upon culture and code of conduct on the website that hinders it from spiraling out of control.
What Kiwifarms and this forum has in common, then, as far as I'm concerned at least, is that they both encourage non-politically correct discourse (within reason, of course).
I've browsed and used Kiwifarms for several years now, and since some time ago, I've noticed an ever growing trend taking place on the website, which I find to be deeply unfortunate: radical feminists and what I can only describe as "white knights" are more or less "infiltrating" general discourse on the website in order to hurl accusations about "inceldom" and such. There's a subsection of Kiwifarms called the "Beauty Parlor", in which some part of the clique of radical feminists and white knights seem to be content in keeping the majority of their discourse in. One of the more popular threads in there is the "Man-hate thread", and you wouldn't believe the shit that's said about men in there. All men or anyone who questions the "manhating" discourse is promptly banned, and are mocked by the community of radical feminists and white knights.
I'm not an incel, nor am I a rampant misogynist of any kind, but like many who engage in more politically incorrect and "based" (for a lack of a better word) discourse, I do have my misgivings with modern women, which I've been able to express in a rational way on Kiwifarms before without being "jumped" by irate feminists and white knights.
What's more is that the owner of Kiwifarms, Joshua Connor Moon, seems to clearly be favoring these radical feminists (also called "femoids" in response to their usage of the term "moid", which is a derogatory term by women and soyboys for men) and white knights over any person who wish to tell these very same people to shut the fuck up and to keep their misandry to themselves. He's regularly inserting himself into conversations, lamenting how "woman haters" wants to deny women "the ability to vote and to be able to treat them like sex slaves" and other such nonsense. When the radical feminists receive the odd clapback, Joshua Connor Moon is often there to lambast the silly men of how insecure and pathetic they are for attacking the poor women who have found refuge in his community. Whenever a feminist writes about how much she hates men and how she wish her son was actually a daughter, he doesn't seem to care one bit, and it negatively affects the overall climate of the forum (at least if you're not a radical feminist or soyboy).
Joshua seem to be somewhat "based" in several aspects, but as far as I can tell, he's completely lost the plot in regards to the TERF:s of this world (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists). It's one thing to support women being trans exclusionary, but he also seems to rejoice in the "radical feminist"-aspect of their little movement as well, which is deeply disappointing. I believe that him being the target of transsexuals, who are attempting to bring down his website through all kinds of underhanded means, have broken his otherwise naive perception of the dynamic of men and women in general. My conclusion is that he believes himself to be a savior of sorts for the women of the world, who have no other place to turn to in order to unload about their hatred of transsexual men. Somehow, this also extends towards being sympathetic towards the women's hatred of men in general, which I just find baffling.
This is one of the trends that I've noticed which I despise. Another sad trend that I've noticed emerging on there is how there's been some sort of development of what I can only describe as an "Anonymous-esque" kind of frenzy being stirred by both old and new users. What I mean by this is the emergence of the whole "We are Anonymous — we do not forget, we do not forgive"-teenage-kind-of-edginess being fostered. As if Kiwifarms is some sort of collective of "Anonymous-hackers" or whatever. It's embarrassing beyond belief.
I've experienced more and more of these radical feminists and soyboys acting out, with the blessings of Joshua Connor Moon, and how the very edgy part of the website is starting to get out of control. As such, I would like to ask you guys if you know of any website besides Kiwifarms and this one that encourages at least somewhat politically incorrect discussion without being obtuse about it and without promoting radical feminist agendas?
Thank you for coming to my TED-talk.
