Antipodean fruit grower statement

[nothingcomestonothing]

The antipodean fruit growers site is down. A statement from the owner reads in part:

What I fear more than losing my site, being sued, or dealing with police is living in a world where [redacted by me as would be against MN talk guidelines] while normal people are not allowed to even discuss it.

The mob has already planned subsequent targets. Should we stay down, they will then attack 'gender critical' communities - especially those ran by and for women. No place can exist online which criticizes [redacted], and nothing would excite them more than this power and domination struggle being inflicted on a female space instead.

Posted for info.

Thank you!

Screenshots on there of people saying KF users should be shot.

I mean, if it only takes one threat of violence then wtf is Twitter doing still up?

I've seen a threat of violence made against Matthew Prince on there too.

I know Arabella, it's amazing this has never been paid attention to before, such as when women are told to die in a fire so frequently. Perhaps this is the dawn of a new era of website safety.

In the last 5 minutes?

I'm seeing a lot of posts there that are just the N-word. Is kiwifarms full of racists, or is a bunch of 12 year olds trying to sound edgy?

Just curious.

I don't know, maybe you can make an account there and ask them? They welcome questions from new accounts, I think.

Yeah what eresh said

you seem to have read a 72 page thread on there so youve been there longer than i have….you’ve probably got a better feel for the place

They're saying that the person at the centre of this is planning to go after 4chan. Hope it's true. I know 4chan isn't the force it once was but it still seems like an unusually bad idea.

And then they stalk me and publish all my and my family's personal information when they find out I am LGBT-supportive?

LOL Rufus

I don't think you'll be at the top of their list but it's generally best to err on the side of caution.

I don’t think you are even on the list but as eresh said better be safe than sorry

(she didnt say that but what she did say was near enough)

Using really nasty words about someone isn't actually a threat. All I've seen on that thread are really nasty adjectives for a man they are really pissed off with.

I mean, it's a bit immature. Like shouting "Mummy's a poo head!"
Not actually a threat though.

Oh noes, people being mean.
And when jk stated she could paper her walls with the threats she had received, you were worried for her safety yes?
Or were you in fact somewhere else entirely, maybe baking a cake or something irl, you can always go find those threads you completely missed somehow and say you utterly abhor threats from named or anonymous people to others. And making threats of any kind is utterly childish and stupidity personified or the like.

That is not what they 'target ' people for. But I think you know that.

Only people who stalked, doxed and threatened me were TRAs.

Some of the Farmers did what they are not supposed to do and white-knighted, and carried out a DDOS attack on the website that was literally targeting my children.

(I have no idea who did this and don’t condone criminal activity but I appreciated the gesture. It gave us 48 hours respite).

"when jk stated she could paper her walls with the threats she had received,"

Did she go to the police? Have charges been pressed against the people making the threats?

"That is not what they 'target ' people for. But I think you know that."

All the information I've read on kiwifarms so far, including content on their forums, would suggest they are a hate forum and pose a credible threat towards transpeople and potentially others.

So is kiwifarms some sort of organised crime website where criminals gather to plan attacks?

Oh noes, people being mean
You lose all credibility when you come out with crap like that

Or were you in fact somewhere else entirely, maybe baking a cake or something irl
😕😂 What has baking a cake got to do with anything, is that what you think being a woman entails so you're projecting it onto being trans?!
Mind boggles lol

and say you utterly abhor threats from named or anonymous people to others. And making threats of any kind is utterly childish and stupidity personified or the like.
I personally have always said any threats to anyone is abhorrent and should be dealt with
Whichever so called "side" it's coming from

Who is the competitor?

Why don’t you look and find out?

Nobody on KF took responsibility, they just pointed out the blog was down and laughed. The only reason I suspect it was a Farmer was because the site published a post saying “bloody KiwiFarmers, I’ve upped my bandwidth” on its return.

Its a bit hypocritical to complain about a DDOS on a site publishing rape and violent threats and targeting primary school children, when the only reason people wanted Cloudflare to remove protection was in order to carry out the same felony.

The only credible threat KF poses is to the reputations of those who are trying to hide previous criminal or sexually predatory behaviour.

One feature most lolcows have in common is that once their past behaviour is exposed, they escalate and frantically do all they can to cover it up, either by litigation (Null has a very funny “take that off the internet” thread) or by doing like Keffals.
