Remarkable Onion
I'd say it's a bit of both but I learn towards.... well, just the culture of KF changed, probably as a result of old users going away and getting replaced with new users.What do you think caused the decline of KF? Null or a larger cultural change?
I say larger cultural change considering the fact that a good chunk of people here act like Kiwifarms users despite shitting on them
I used to get the feeling that KF had some sense of self-awareness and irony about it, and used to not mind the terminology like the racial slurs or the invoking of "Jews" all the time because there was a sense that it was all ironic. I even remember some Kiwis back in the day saying "n_ggers" didn't necessarily mean "black people."
But over time it increasingly became..... well, I said it in the Kiwi Tropes thread: they saw the domineering dad who hates everything kids are into and wants to stop it, and decided that was a model to aspire to. So now they're the forum that hates everything and pretends to be something they aren't, and they've been in an echo chamber so long they no longer realize how insane they sound.
