I would liken Kiwi Farms to Monsanto. Is Kiwi Farms a cesspit? Parts of it definitely are. But I take umbridge with people being allowed to spread blatant lies about it and both news and alt media happily regurgitating claims that could be easily debunked with a simple fact check.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike it, but many people do not know the first thing about it, only the evil caricature that has pervaded popular culture. Because people think it's an irredeemable evil, they uncritically accept any claim of wrongdoing made against it, and refuse to listen to any facts refuting their existing beliefs about it. It also gets blamed for things that other completely unaffiliated groups have done, because it's well known.

Was Monsanto a bad company? You could probably make a compelling argument that it was. However, many of the oft repeated claims like them suing people for seeds or driving farmers to suicide are misleading at best or patently false.
