Remarkable Onion
if you want a censorship heavy forum, theres already tons of thoseI believe you're absolutely correct in that it would be beneficial for "the powers that be" to have a completely sterilized Internet for their purposes.
I don't believe that many people would object to this rather unremarkable and trite observation.
These forces aren't unique in their antagonism toward Kiwifarms, however.
As @Dude-Weed has correctly identified, most of us want a forum which is what Kiwifarms should be in essence, sans the more extreme fringes of its userbase.
I for one would want a Kiwifarms that:
1.) Never doxx (or Ph0nEbO0k) people.
2.) Have a userbase which consists of balanced and fair users (i.e. not spergy and antagonistic cunts for the sake of it) in their discussion about topics in general. Needless antagonism towards "lolcows" should be frowned upon, no matter how much you may dislike them.
3.) Don't have faggots like AnOminous, Just A Butt, Lidl Drip, ThƩ au lait and many others who use the forum as their personal therapy sessions and toilet.
4.) Don't platform radical feminists, i.e. misandrists.
5.) Don't platform actual misogynists, although I have yet to observe Andrew Tate-types on Kiwifarms.
5.) Don't platform Joshua Conner Moon.
I believe that the main problem for Kiwifarms, besides its fat and feminine administrator, is that its userbase now consists of a slew of demographics that very, very few people like at all.
Kiwifarms is infiltrated with Facebook-boomers, radical feminists, Zionists, and otherwise antagonistic people who are incredibly nasty and rude towards the userbase in general, and towards new users in particular.
We're not talking about users who engage in the art of trolling and light ribbing, which I believe is becoming more of a lost artform. We're talking about users who antagonize and shit on users and "lolcows" for no particular reason whatsoever and in a very nasty and generally unfun way.
These users who "infight" seems to be beloved by the radical feminists in particular. Perhaps their catty and ugly nature sees kinship in such behaviour. No wonder these infighting users have Joshuas faggoty blessing, despite him claiming to loathe users who infight. His hypocricy is as blatant as ever.
Very few people like Kiwifarms for what it currently is, and through the years, the forum has garnered a lot of negative attention for its spergery and evil.
It doesn't exactly help that Joshua constantly tries to use the forum as his personal army.
Kiwifarms just sucks. It's filled with moronic and evil people, and the guy at the helm of the operation is one of the worst spastic cunts out there.
No wonder it hasn't grown.
On the note of Kiwifarms lack of growth:
I don't know much about "TurkeyTom", but I find it so fucking funny that he's become very successful by documenting "lolcows", or as his Kiwifarms detractors claim, for having "stolen Kiwifarms content" (!). The fact that Joshua apparently hate him for not "giving Kiwifarms credit" is just such a delight. What a delusional idiot he is.
It's not Thomas' fault that he's talented in marketing himself, is there?
Whatever you think of him, the size of his audience and YouTube-channel speaks for themselves.
Too bad for Joshua that his pubescent, whiny voice and overall spergy nature results in negative charisma, and thus that his "content" doesn't lend itself to a more mainstream appeal.
The whole thing about Thomas' "stealing Kiwifarms content" reminds me of this gem from Internet Historian:
The Instagrabbing of /r/dankmemes
It's just a beautiful debacle of the most serious autism.
