That audio is an interesting piece because it shows how the perception of KF has been gradually changing from the final boss of the Internet to a collection of shrill moralfagging Karens.
i think a big reason for that is that the censorship online has not been as big of a deal as it was back in 2021. Like remember how everyone was seemingly banned off of social media in 2020? between covid and trannies and trump's "monitoring the situation" faggotry, everyone was left with no place to go
Like Kiwifarms really did feel like the only place online you could shittalk trannies, even normies were getting banned like fucking babylon bee. i had some of the most bland people i know get yeeted off of facebook and instagram.
but between elon buying twitter, and Tiktok allowing more unique content; starting in 2022 it really did feel like the winds were changing. Shane Gillis got on JRE and became this huge star and did an episode of his podcast with Sam Hyde and is the sole reason Sam got viral and sort of let back into entertainment,
In general censorship was taking a step back and on the flip side kiwifarms has just gotten worse and worse. 2022 most of the Comicsgate group has fucked off and a lot of the more annoying faggots such as Welper joined in 2022-2024.
the man hate thread in 2023 and Josh basically using it to pull off a "night of the long knives" on a big chunk of the userbase did to kiwifarms what reddit nuking O&A and the donald and other "offensive" subreddits did for that site.
In the last two years, kiwifarms has been addicted to more meta lolcows and snark posting about its users, Lidl and her fanbase basically are kiwifarm's version of SRS from reddit, except with the added bonus that the admin will ban users who piss them off.
Lidl, just this year has started about a dozen fights in a private area of the forum and its been revealed there are DM chains where they plan how to get certain power users banned.
Between that and Null deciding that anyone into vtubers or anime is a pedo, (except for the actual pedos that make up his mod team and power users) it really does feel like the worst of reddit.
Netflix announced that a majority of the view time spent on their site is spent watching anime, meaning that technically Netflix is an anime streaming site that also has live action, the same way i asssume Crunchyroll had some live action stuff people could also watch, making kiwifarms a minority in terms of their hatred of anime
deciding to die on that fucking hill combined with embracing the Sharty and clearly abandoning the "don't touch the poo" guidelines has just turned it into green reddit.
This is also combined with way more hostility towards Null. 2 years ago it was rather rare for people to go after him, but now it seems every month another poweruser talks about how much of a fucking idiot he is.
Outside of the idiots that joined in the last year, no one seems to like the fucker and his presence is seen as an annoyance. even the mods treat him like a special needs case. Altistic right was practically apologizing to the users in the kino casino thread for his behavior. At least when he acted up in the Rekeieta or Dick threads there was a sense that everyone was on the same page behind the scenes, but now the decorum is all gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see full on trolling ops normalized.
