If this isn’t an example of guilt by association, I don’t know what is. She is first and foremost a trans ally and has a trans (FTM) brother. She’s written many posts where she expresses her support for the trans community and that trans people are valid. He came out as transgender when she was eight, which would have made him thirteen at the time. She was actually the first to fully accept him for who he was, since she had always wanted a brother, and in her mind, this was the brother she had been waiting for since she was born. He’s always been the most special brother she could have, and that hasn’t changed, even with everything that’s happened. Alignment with a site doesn’t mean one endorses the actions of the more questionable members on the site. I can see that those who are against Kiwi Farms are from two demographics that see themselves at odds with it.

I’m simply pointing out a double standard which exists. The Fediverse seems to be singling out KF users specifically as if no other site has questionable people on it.

You say that like Discord hasn’t had its fair share of questionable members, including links to mass violence. Yet I don’t see Fediverse members being banned from multiple instances immediately after being sussed out as Discord members. I’m here to question a double standard and unwritten rule that exists within the Fediverse as a whole.

You say that like Discord hasn’t been linked to mass violence before. Yet for some reason, the Fediverse appears to have a double standard in which people aren’t getting instantly banned once they’re sussed out as a Discord member.

The site and the owner have both made statements that they aren’t responsible for the questionable actions committed by its members. If Kiwi Farms members are punishable by instant banishment from the Fediverse for being aligned with the site, then so should Discord members, since Discord has been linked to perpetrators of mass violence.

Discord: linked to perpetrators of mass violence, yet largely overlooked.

Kiwi Farms: associated with smaller-scale harassers, and everyone demands its removal, even by proxy, such as the Fediverse banning anyone found to be affiliated with it.

The group you’re describing isn’t merely stalking people or designed for that purpose. Above all, it was created to uphold a form of free speech that many places fail to fully embrace. It explicitly states upfront that it is not responsible for the questionable actions committed by its members, and honestly, it isn’t.

KF = Kiwi Farms.
