I first reported Kiwi Farms and their ilk to the authorities in 2014 and was immediately shut down by West Midlands Police who told me to log off and ignore all the illegal racism and threats to rape and kill and to watch my language because my speech wasn’t free. I figured then they were in it together. I even appealed to Jess Phillips at one point, who also ignored me and various other female politicians in the spirit of feminist solidarity but nobody cared. I warned again and again that these weren’t your average nuisance trolls and if you ignored them they were only going to get nastier. I hoped people wouldn’t wait until they came for them but here we are.
9chan is the rebranding of Kiwi Farms, its owner Joshua Conner Moon no doubt reclaiming an identity from those who rejected him when 8chan banned him on the grounds he was too much of a nazi paedophile, even by their standards (which not so long ago had their entire forum taken off the internet). They have taken credit for an attempted break in at Jess Phillips’ house.
This is horrifying stuff. It’s in a thread where they are posting fake nudes of female leftist politicians. I’m no great fan of Jess’s, we’ve even clashed but nazi incels who just wanna rape everyone have become so emboldened as to target serving members of parliament in the real world.
I can’t help but wish Jess had empathised with me all those years ago, I know she went on Victoria Live to say she felt guilty she hadn’t done anything sooner and Vic let her off the hook but imagine how much safer we’d all feel now if all the people we have been begging for help had actually done something then. West Midlands Police are notoriously racist and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were an incel or 10 in their ranks, much like the rest of the force but will they be as dismissive of Jess I wonder and the threats of violence against the minors in her family.
I can only hope for all our sakes they take her seriously.

Please do something about Kiwifarms. The victims need you. There will never be true freedom as long as Kiwifarms exists. The harassers will be the only ones with any freedom, while the rest of us have to fear becoming victims of the members of this site, being tormented relentlessly for their amusement, and having our reputations forever tarnished by that awful site. Whenever we try to speak out to the public, no one will listen to us or take us seriously because they’ll find that we’re posted to that site as a “lolcow.” It’s a way for them to gain control and power of the whole of society through the Internet, because who would dare risk being targeted? No one can just speak their minds, express themselves, or even just have fun without worrying about ending up on Kiwifarms or similar sites, or being regarded as “cringey” or some other nonsense. Especially if one is already vulnerable. Please do anything you can to take down these people, every single one of them who participate in this. They are doing this to so many innocent people. They do this to criminals as well, but this is exactly why the Law exists and why vigilante and mob justice should never be a thing. These individuals are all criminals themselves, shady people who all have a mountain of skeletons in their closets. But they also gladly target those who belong to various minorities and Neurominorities, — particularly Autistics, and those who are different and eccentric, those who are mentally ill, those who are physically ill, those who are vulnerable in a myriad of ways. Bullying itself should be a crime. Harassment and cyberharassment shouldn’t be so difficult (practically impossibly so) to control in a civilized society. Where is the outrage? Those who committed suicide were chipped at constantly until they were worn down to nothing — they couldn’t take it anymore. What ever happened to the idea of protecting the vulnerable and innocent? Hate speech, bullying, and harassment are not “free speech.” And it’s funny how these folks who dox people themselves remain anonymous cowards. We have to do something about this in order to restore true freedom in the world.
