I don't gossip about my friends and family but I do come here and talk about stupid people online who if they had a lick of sense wouldn't make public spectacles of themselves. I'm at peace with my membership here.
Im not bad because I cant be bad, because I can no more embody badness than I can goodness. Good and bad are practices of action not something attributable to one's being, though I guess some might say this is a distinction with no difference.
Imo the main problem with cows is that you cannot laugh with them but just at them since the cow never seems to understand why we laught at them and why they are lolcows.
Somes cows are pure garbage people and deserve the ridicule.
Some cows can be likable in some sense because of their flawed personality.
Another moment where the cow are likeable is when they show lucidity and derision.
Nah. If anything I think the existence of the Farms provides a good archive of the misdeeds that internet narcissists and the like so often try to cover up. I think we're a force for truth and accountability if anything. Any anon can look us up if they have doubts about any particular figure online and if we have a thread on them they'll be in the know.
It's neither a good or bad thing to be a Kiwifarmer. Ultimately we're giving what lolcows want which is attention. If there are any Farmers who are straight up harassing or stalking lolcows I personally condemn them.
I was already thinking it before I posted it, therefore the sin is already committed. if what makes me bad is the cow reading my comment among hundreds of similar ones, I hope they learn from it and stop being lolworthy.
yes, sometimes I doubt myself before laughing at cows who are in bad situations, but if thats what sends me to hell and not all those other things, I guess it isss what it iss
I can only speak for myself, but I do no people harm and would not go out of my way to do the speds on the farm any harm either. (Live and let live, do unto others doctrine)
They've all proven themselves quite capable of causing trouble for themselves without any or much outside assistance.
That said we are allowed to have our own opinions about people and their actions. No one is below forgiveness, but it comes with the caveat that they must put in the necessary effort to show that they've changed as a person and are sincere in that change. Most of the people that are laughed at on the farms are essentially what I would ascribe to as "lifers."
For example, I think no one would be under the illusion that Chris-chan is going to have some massive revelation and reform himself. If he did somehow, I'd stop following him.
Now another thing to think about and something that I appreciate about the farms is that there is a general consensus of interest and honesty among most of the posters and members. No one here is pressured into maintaining expected socially acceptable opinions and as such it's refreshing because it encourages real dialogue that is sometimes missing in modern public life.
Any community is a spectrum, we're average across the board. There's probably some truly disgusting people lurking around here and probably some very good ones too. The rest of us fill out a nice fat bell curve.

This is what I'm here for. Imo kiwis by and large don't present themselves to be anything other than kiwis. I'll take the risks and faggotry over any other medicated message board any day.
I care little about ridiculing people for mere stupidity, but people who harm others should be exposed. I am here for those.
One of my biggest discovery on this forum was the sheer amount of Munchausen afflicted people out there. They deceive people who are not just there to cheaply virtue signal. They take from people who actually spend money and time to help others out of the goodness of their heart. There is nothing more evil than to abuse the good in people. For that, I think one should burn in hell.
What I like about the farms as opposed to other sites of the same nature is that there's very little infighting, if you don't like someone you call them a faggot and move on, as opposed to shitting up threads calling people trannies and twitterfags, which speaks well on the nature of most users. we're here to document, not take out needless frustration
I'm at peace with being on here and laughing at the various dumpster fires of the world. I'm old enough to remember when the entire internet was like KiwiFarms when you could just call someone you didn't like a loser faggot and move on. I work a very stressful public job and cannot vent any frustrations or speak in the manner I find most comfortable in day to day life without fear of being fired. It doesn't help that I'm from the Midwest and therefor have a vocabulary more in line with that of a 1940's sailor than a gentleman.
Also Christians made every excuse they could to kill people, I just wanna laugh at weird idiots like DSP so if anything I'm the one with the moral high ground.
There's really no such thing as "good" people and "bad" people - we're all retarded amalgamations of the shit that came before us, without a whole lot of wiggle room.
People who actively seek attention on the internet are recieving the attention they sought.
Shame is a vital part of social norming, and these individuals, with their reduced self awareness, can benefit from honest assessments. If we are able to squeeze enjoyment out of that process, everyone wins.
Perhaps my favorite thing about the farms is our honestly with ourselves. There's no heroes here, nobody stridently declaring their righteousness.
The desperate need to consider one's self a "good person" is a stumbling block humans need to overcome.
No. Im not a good person.
No, Im not going to "do better".
-is what we do wrong?
-if so is this an act of evil or meerly a vice?
-if you're a theist what do you think god makes of you shitting on the weak?
-do you have a personal philosophy which allows for this? (nietzsche perhaps?)
I think we're fine as long as we don't dox, threaten, or discriminate against people. If we follow these three simple rules, we're clear. Everything we expose about lolcows is public information, and we ridiculing lolcows for their vices is fair game. Lolcows bring suffering upon themselves.
