Kiwi Farms, the Web’s Biggest Community of Stalkers
https://theoutline.com/post/5672/you-don-t-need-to-talk-about-qanon
The shitty, stomach-turning parts of the internet are no longer siloed away on message boards like 4chan and Kiwi Farms; they’re on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and in the real world.
https://www.dailydot.com/irl/4chan-trap-discord-trans-panic/
Her claims began unraveling through a niche internet community called Kiwifarms, a community with the stated purpose of mocking “lolcows” i.e. anyone on the internet deemed to be mockable, usually because the forum users perceive them to have some form of mental illness or sexual deviance.
https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/12/23/how-hoax-lgbtq-community-embracing-pedophiles-went-viral/221394
The Daily Caller’s piece was also shared on far-right anonymous message board Kiwi Farms, which regularly leads harassment campaigns, including one that led to the suicide of a transgender woman. There were nearly 300 posts discussing the piece in Kiwi Farms’ thread. There were also hundreds of comments in a Reddit thread about The Daily Caller’s piece, further demonstrating that these forums can gin up misinformation campaigns and escalate them through right-wing media validators -- and that hoaxes continue to grow in the right-wing echo chamber, including back on the message boards.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/fruzsinaeordogh/2018/04/08/on-demonetization-and-the-youtube-shooter/
A smattering of comments from the various Internet trash peanut galleries (KiwiFarms, 4chan, YouTube comments, etc) about the shooter include: “Better than Sam Hyde,” “New queen of /pol/,” “This is the best video on YouTube,” “A Goddess for the ages,” and most relevant: “She lived defending animals, and she died defending free speech.” Any attempts to remove content related to the YouTube shooter only make online miscreants spread her content further as a kind of middle finger to YouTube proper. A “they may have ‘censored’ her while she was alive but they cannot censor her in death” kind of mentality.
James Damore
https://www.wired.com/story/the-dirty-war-over-diversity-inside-google/
More than a dozen pages of personal information about another employee were posted to Kiwi Farms, which New York has called “the web’s biggest community of stalkers.”
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/01/28/fake-news-wired-magazine-presents-googles-racist-anti-conservative-harassers-victims-smears-breitbart/
In addition, the piece also repeats some demonstrably false claims without any attempt to fact-check them. For example, the piece reports that material regarding Fong-Jones appeared on the web forum Kiwi Farms following the publication of James Damore’s memo calling for more viewpoint diversity at the company, and subsequent reporting by Breitbart News and Vox Popoli.
However, a cursory search of the Kiwi Farms forums reveals that Fong-Jones had been targeted by the site’s users since at least February 2017—five months before Damore’s memo was written, and long before any coverage of Fong-Jones appeared in the alternative media.
Brianna Wu (and GamerGate???)
https://www.intomore.com/impact/brianna-wu-isnt-finished
Wu, an openly queer video game developer, gained national fame following the Gamergate controversy. Her outspoken defense of women in the gaming industry attracted the attention of extremist trolls on websites like Kiwi Farms and 4chan.

"KiA became infested with racism and sexism... and other ism's (though many ism's are not real). GG forums were created on KiwiFarms and 8chan as a result," David-me posted. "This was the best and worst thing. The monster was now a virus. We banned links to, and then mention of certain links and topics. Now we became the enemy."

The theory that Connors was a hoax started gaining serious traction over the weekend on a message board called Kiwi Farms (you can read some of that here, if you really want to go deep on this thing).
Chloe Sagal
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5876485/Brilliant-tortured-31-year-old-transgender-artist-set-fire.html
Members of Kiwi Farms, whose participants 'specialize in harassing people they perceive as being mentally ill or sexually deviant in some way,' began targeting Sagal and revealed that the money was actually being raised for her gender surgery.
https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/chloe-sagal-death-1202858068/
They also said she was the target of a persistent online bullying campaign by Kiwi Farms
https://www.dailydot.com/irl/chloe-sagal-suicide-cyberbullying-harassment/
On the Kiwi Farms thread that linked to news of her death, Sagal is misgendered over and over again and she’s mocked for her death and for the way she committed suicide.
https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/bullied-trans-game-developer-dies-after-setting-herself-on-fire/
Kiwi Farms linked to her death. On the thread there was no regret, only misgendering and mocking.
https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2018/06/woman_who_set_self_on_fire_in.html
A friend who chose not to give his name, fearing repercussions from Kiwi Farms, said her livelihood and mental stability were destroyed by the attacks.
https://lenta.ru/news/2018/06/26/sagal/
В 2013 году трансгендер стала мишенью пользователей имиджборда Kiwi Farms — сообщества, посвященного обсуждению «эксцентричных людей, которые добровольно выставляют себя дураками». Кроме того, на сайте нередко собираются те, кто преследует и запугивает жертв в сети.
Couch Cuck
https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-mexico-school-shooter-had-secret-life-on-pro-trump-white-supremacy-sites
On Kiwi Farms, a forum that describes itself as a place for “gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes,” Atchison frequently posted commemorations of mass shooters. Two days before his own school shooting, under his username “Fuck You,” Atchison posted an explicit sexual reply endorsing Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath, a failed mass shooter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. (Atchison used a photo of Kiwi Farms administrator Josh Moon as his profile picture for Steam.)

This wasn’t the first controversial Web site that Dias had abetted. Last year, on the Daily Kos, Margaret Pless called him out for hosting an infamous cyberbullying hub called Kiwi Farms, which, as she noted in a separate article for New York, “specializes in harassing people they perceive as being mentally ill or sexually deviant in some way.” The site has been associated with at least one target’s suicide. Pless told me that she had attempted to contact Dias multiple times without receiving a response. Later, though, Kiwi Farms apparently switched providers, quietly vacating Frantech’s servers.
https://www.daily-times.com/story/news/crime/2018/04/17/aztec-high-school-shooting-investigation-william-atchison/513013002/
A day before the shooting he posted on the online community Kiwi Farms the words "praise be to Allah."

KIWI Farms has screenshots of Isaacson's most violent and sexually deviant tweets -- which go way beyond what most people would consider normal.
SPLC Bonus Round!!
https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/02/18/illinois-woman-neo-nazi-leanings-charged-canadian-mass-murder-plot
The Internet sleuths at the site Kiwi Farms, where she had at one time been an active member, further tracked Souvanarrath’s activities and ascertained that she had also been an active member at a forum devoted to fascist ideology called Iron March, which is apparently operated by a man named Alexander Slavros.

As the alt-right attempted to regain its pre-Charlottesville momentum, several leaders engaged in a belated PR campaign while vicious flame wars raged on the The Right Stuff’s 504um, Gab.ai and the KiwiFarms.com. These debates and online battles were framed around the question of “optics,” tactics and messaging.
https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/02/08/evidence-new-mexico-school-shooter’s-involvement-racist-alt-right-overwhelming
Atchison also allegedly frequented the Daily Stormer, the racist alt-right’s most notorious website, in addition to other known online communities favored by the alt-right, such as EncyclopediaDramatica, Kiwi Farms, 4chan and various videogame forums.
