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".🧵 Image
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. Image
Here's the most recent blackmail slapfight leak: odysee.com/@Winter:7/keff…

Courtesy of @NaiaGoesAwoo, who sent it to me.

Be careful of working with Keffals.

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.
you're welcome suggestion box user Image

hello

welcome Chloe

i don't take anyone at face value

you are correct that Winter is deeply problematic; so are many people i need to contact to get information in the online hellworld we all inhabit
it's been a while since i've needed to get information this far across the aisle but it is far from unprecedented

when Q was in full swing, often anons were the only ones with information that desperately needed to come out to inform the public
and often times i was the only one who they would talk to in a SOMEWHAT respectful way and also give up the goods to

you don't have to agree with my tactics, but i always value archival/factfinding above "optics"

maybe i really am optics poison! 🤭🤭

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

i don't think what she's doing is as bad as what KF does and i never would've called her KF 2.0

i said her tactics in the leaked DMs are "much like KF's" and "KF-tier"

i even can empathize with why she does them. it can feel good to go lower than ppl who hate u
but it's quite ineffective esp when those who hate u are literally dehumanizing/wishing death upon u

i don't believe in "when they go low, we go high"

but i do know that having text logs or audio out there of you telling someone to commit suicide for any reason looks bad
i agree w/ur overall take and i hope that this drama will be over soon. i'm already sick of it.

surprises me too!

i mention it on OHL—it took a while to put together

when @timheidecker first offered, my original reaction was no

even tho @nezumi_ningen was like "wow fred good opportunity" i was like idk and didn't feel comfortable asking her my questions (also we made up)
eventually, @Fractilion, who also saw the tweet

asked when it'd be

and i was like "lol i don't think i'm doing it"

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

are you kidding with this or is being mad over this a real take

"furries don't help mentally ill ppl as much as Salvation Army"

yes?

the Salvation Army is a multinational charity organization that has existed since 19th century

furries have been an organized group since…1990
even if furries had orgnaized online back to 1865

we should not expect furry charity orgs to be more impactful on a per capita basis than the Salvation Army

as being a Christian (and therefore donating to SA, a Christian charity org) is much more common than being a furry

idk if this will help or hurt but it's a fact regardless

i speak japanese (intermediate; know meanings for ≈2k kanji, readings for ≈1k) and in Japan

kemonomimi and kemono are not viewed as separate but on a spectrum

the word for furry in Japanese is kemono (1/?)
sorry if u know this stuff i just think it's interesting way to get into it lol

獣耳 (kemonomimi) lit. animal ears
ケモノ(獣) (kemono) lit. animal

basically there's art all along spectrum it's hard to relate Japanese kemono to Western furry i think its why e6 has a kemono tag
one of the major differences is that in Japan it's far less common to have an individual fursona

most Japanese kemono fans (ケモナー; kemonā) draw fanart of copyrighted characters and use them as their pfp so just become known as "the X guy"
