Boy how times have changed... -

I've been looking through every old posts on the Kiwi Farms from when it was first created, and man has the board culture changed a lot.

The very first thread on the Farms is evident of this change. Wouldn't you believe that @Hollywood Hulk Hogan was once beloved by many and him joining the site on launch date was revered by all?



Nowadays, it seems he gets dragged into political threads and, rather than just simply ignore the threads, always gets into arguments with the right-wing members of the site

Man, it seemed this place used to be bright and optimistic. What ever happened here?

When Null added the optimistic rating, things went to shit

He let the outcome of Bollea v Gawker go to his head.

The forum wasn't political back then. As the scope expanded to cover political lolcows, politics and related arguments became increasingly widespread on the forum.

It was because of ((Them)).

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...

As a person who only started using this site after the IBS Apocalypse I can tell you that Jawsh appearing on IBS and attracting chan refugees like me fucked this site irreparably. Welcome to the new retard order, sorry about how retarded we are.

At least you admit it.

That and social media has shoah'd right wingers so they wind up here and other places.

I don't think this site is big enough to get many of the people coming from social media. They tend to go to Parler or 4chan. I'd more blame Null's flirting with the far right a few years back and the Christchurch incident.

There's crossover between here and 4chan.

There is, but 4chan is much bigger. This site isn't even in the top 40,000 sites by Alexa rank, whereas 4chan is in the top 1,000.

Right wingers started coming here en masse because they think any website that allows free speech is going to be their echo chamber. Then they dogpile Hulk any time he gives an opinion left of center, and they always take Dynastia's bait. Always. They drive me crazy.

Reading old tranny threads is interesting too. Seems most people here now believe that trannyism is BS. Very old threads about troons have people saying things like "He's not a REAL transwoman" and there were a lot more posts from openly tranmy members.

80% of that is perpetual reposts on porn boards. 19% is shills shilling shills on pol. 1% is actual user traffic.

I'm a relatively right leaning user but since I've been around for a few years I know who HHH and Dyn are and don't get into arguments with them. This is a free speech website, so that includes liberal speech too, regardless of whether the A&H crowd accept that or not. I also agree that troonery is BS, but not from a "RAA DEGENERACY" far right perspective, just a biological one. Many of the most vocal opponents of troonery in real life are women, because they know there are biological differences between them and men, as we also do.

 

[L50LasPak]

Even a few years ago when I started lurking this site wasn't as politically charged as it is currently. I think its just the unholy trinity of The Varus, the Spedsidential Election and the riots all happening in the same relatively short period of time that has people pissed off and riled up.

The irony is that the Christchurch shooting seemed to give a lot of the more xenophobic people pause since it was pretty unnerving to watch a bunch of unarmed people just get wasted like that by such an obvious lunatic. But now all you hear from some people is niggersnigersniggersniggersniggers burnt down my neighborhood/stole my mail/raped my dog/rated my post autistic/etc, especially once the riots started up.

I'm more inclined to argue with trolls like HHH or Dyn than people who genuinely believe what they're saying because unlike the people who genuinely believe it I want HHH and Dyn to shut the fuck up and kill themselves.

A&H has definitely been like that for a while. It was in 2019 before the virus and riots. You just hear that sort of commentary about those issues now.
