"If I were to ban what they consider 'doxing', the next thing would be 'deadnaming'. They have to falsely equate information with harassment, speech with violence, and discussion with stalking. As long as they don't like what is being said, they will always find a way to make it out as something evil and dangerous."

Dear reporters: Not that you'll ever see this humble little blog, but if any of you should ever stumble upon it & want the REAL story on Keffals vs. Kiwifarms, here it is. Well, as much as could be salvaged before the 9 year old forum that ranks #35 in U.S. Computers, Electronics & Tech Social Media was unceremoniously taken offline in the middle of the night by its webhost and/or a group of DDoS attackers.
I had never been to Kiwifarms prior to this debacle but decided to see what all the hubbub was about after the media storm. (Just like I'd never tried kratom until the 2016 DEA ban was announced. These things often have the opposite effect, drawing naive people to the "forbidden fruit" for the first time. But I digress). The news articles made Kiwifarms users sound like unhinged far-right extremists akin to the cretins on Parler who spent their days harassing vulnerable people & planning terrorist attacks in real life. So I made a beeline to the page about Keffals and this is what I see. Needless to say, it was NOTHING like what had been reported on NBC News or Axios, which refers to Kiwifarms as a "trans hate site" in the article's title. How's that for unbiased reporting?
Here's what they're not reporting. Decide for yourself.
From Keffals' underage sex meme cult "Catboy Ranch" on Discord:
...and then he moved on to other pursuits, like his illegal bathtub hormone-replacement-therapy-for-teens venture:
...which was likely not so altruistic after all:
And just for kicks, here are his thoughts on women's rights & gay people:
Bonus footage since he feels soooooo victimized by the swatting:
If you can see all this and your only issue is that I've referred to Keffals as "he" throughout the article, please exit now. The 2 major takeaways here are: Why isn't the media covering both sides of the story (as they love to do with things like climate change which don't actually
have "two sides"), and more importantly, why are they rallying behind this sociopathic predator & trying to get what's essentially an internet archive plus a few spicy opinions shut down?
I think I might have an idea. Censorship benefits those in power--archiving the bad behavior of pervert politicians; giving a monopoly to greedy corporations so we
have to pay 50 separate subscription fees for every song, show, movie, book, game & scientific study we consume; silencing dissenting voices like
Chris Hedges who call out the follies of the American empire--these "problems" and so many more are solved by simply memoryholing & paywalling information that's unfit for us peasants to view with our dirty peasant eyes. You know, like China or North Korea have done to their citizens. The NBC News article linked above admits as much, claiming that Kiwifarms could
"become, say, an FBI database. It would not be hard."
And there you have it. They don't want us archiving their own cruel, perverse or illegal behavior. Rules for thee but not for me, eh? What they do want is complete control of the internet. They want to turn it into a giant strip mall, as George Carlin once called modern America, with 40 versions of the same social media selfie site to mine your personal data & sell it to the highest bidder. This isn't about "trans rights" and never was--it's about the total overthrow of privacy, freedom of speech, ownership of archived/digital material & the right to say NO to deranged hetero males who insert themselves into every aspect of the gay community, women's & children's spaces under the trojan horse of trans rights. And selling you stuff. Because capitalism. Goodbye, information superhighway. Hello Brave New World.
Once again, America rewards malignant narcissism while painting the victimizers as the victims.
The FBI is not a victim for fuck's sake. (Remember COINTELPRO? Waco?
All this stuff?) They're one of the most thoroughly funded,
secretive agencies in the country, if not the Western world. Likewise, straight white males with an affinity for children and an aggressive rage toward anyone who challenges them are not victims either, even if they call themselves women. Because
"woman" is not a feeling or an aesthetic.
It's all very reminiscent of the Epstein affair. All the judges, prosecutors & high-level politicians on those blackmail tapes would likely rather have them destroyed, and the same goes for any illegal online behavior they're caught in. Way back in 2013
Google reported that U.S. government officials, police departments, judges & other powerful entities had requested removal of 4,000 stories that were critical of them... wonder what the number's up to now? And are they complying? Highly likely, as anyone
can now request that the search giant remove their name & other identifying information from search results. Just look how their search result quality
has deteriorated since the year 2000. What happened to
"Don't be evil?"
The same people laughing at the swatting of Marjorie Taylor Greene are now outraged that it happened to Keffals--in reality, both were wrong. Kiwifarms clearly states that members are not to engage in harassment or trolling of anyone off the site, so whatever happened was not endorsed by its administrator or the forum as a whole. And besides, Keffals himself engaged in far more repulsive (and illegal!) real-life behavior with children online that's being completely ignored by the media. The question is: why? In what universe is the sexual grooming, illicit chat messaging & offering of illegal drugs to minors more acceptable than running an internet forum containing unpopular opinions? A forum that has all the receipts on this aggressive child groomer, no less?
TL;DR - Do your own digging with every news story because the full truth is rarely what is presented in the media. Slurs & other hateful words are deplorable but wiping out years or decades of archived material to appease the feelings of any group is contrary to this country's mission statement. This digital book-burning should not be tolerated in any country, let alone one that prides itself on freedom of speech & the press.
