I need to make #DropKiwiFarms movement aware of sth as I think there is possibly a danger to the reputations of good people who have opposed far-right websites and personalities for years.
@keffals is engaging in tactics much like those of Kiwi Farmers. She is "optics poison".🧵
The above is a message from her to me.
But that's not why I'm posting this.
She got into a slapfight with a Kiwi Farms user and called him a racial slur ("Sanchez"), an ableist slur ("r-tard"), and more.
She bragged to @burnbern8 about telling someone to kill themselves.
If this does not ruin her reputation, then something else will. Why do I say this?
She is unpredictable and far too much desires to control the narrative ("I can't work with the guy that made 8chan because then my obvious KF-tier trolling tactics would look worse") because she is unironically fighting back by punching way below the belt.
Fight the far-right, don't become them.
She and I are done… she was unbelievably rude to me yes but now I see it's not just me, but also Naia, and a ton of others.
The person she is messaging is an asshole yes. And still going mask-off ableist/racist is UNWARRANTED.
Thank you for what you have done for the movement @keffals, but clearly you can't hold in your spaghetti and it keeps getting sprayed all over my suggestion box/TL, so I think you ought to let @NaiaGoesAwoo and @lizthegrey take over. Actual operators who are more than capable.
At 10PM I had a call that lasted about 20 minutes with Winter (the keffals Discord leaker). One of the things we agreed is that I could record it but not release audio unless he lies about what we discussed. (My usual policy for private audio calls with possibly hostile anons.)
I am redacting the video part of the call now because the leaker asked me to do so, and I am going to give the leaker reasonable final cut privilege. (I.e. send Winter the final cut before anyone, let them make sure I missed nothing before showing the public).
Winter wanted people to know:
① they don't self-describe as far-right or alt-right
② they use he/him for Keffals as they lack respect for Keffals as Keffals faildoxed them
③ they have reason to doubt Keffals has dysphoria
I don't buy ③ but am repeating it as I was asked to
and so then he explained to me why Heidecker has a podcast, that he was mercilessly attacked by channers for dumb fucking reasons, that it's not a sketch show
or at least not mainly a sketch show, like the joke won't be "ha this furry is dumb, autistic, fat, and also made a bad website in 2013 loool get clowned on nerrrd"
& so @Fractilion begged me 2 do it & so i messaged bk like 1 month later and surprisingly they still wanted to lol
