The Gene Genie makes a good post about Fuentes gaining popularity and how KF has missed it due to being in a bubble.
Its fairly obvious the userbase now is older than the internet proper. like no one is on fucking tiktok and even streamers are way more niche on kiwifarms than the greater internet.
outside of hasan and destiny they don't know or care about the rest of the streamers. like piratesoftware's thread was extremely small until that WoW moment pushed him into kiwifarms caring about him but he was viral for years at that point.
in general if you weren't famous back in 2019 they don't really give a fuck about you, hell it took them years to bother having a hasan piker thread. They also have a hard time realizing people have pretty short memories. Nick Fuentes is new to them, its like how Suits premiered back in 2011 but for 99% of fans, the show came out in 2024. Fuentes might have detractors and haters but that all happened so long ago. if you ask someone that knows him from tiktok, or instagram reels chances are they remember him hanging with Kanye when Kanye was shittalking israel and thats pretty much it.
Nick being pro-kamala and pro-newsom isn't talked about or well known because like asmongold or 99% of streamers most people just catch the clips. its like how someone that obsesses over taylor swift vs someone listening to her on the radio will feel completely differently about her.
Nick skyrocketing in support in the youth and normie demos that KF stopped giving a fuck about a long time ago makes sense when you consider the average age of a kiwifarmer is 40 now and they last gave a fuck about popular media around the days of gamergate.
Fuck, you see more people hyping up Anthony Cumia (a Nick Fuentes fanboy) than Postman when postman is a zoomer aryan chad instead of some 57 years young italian american piece of trash.
Kiwifarms is an old man's website, even fucking reddit is better at documenting lolcows which is why users openly report stuff posted there now.
