A transphobe is assmad that a transgender person attempted to get his harassment forum taken off the internet for doing shit that violates ISPs' terms of service and, in some cases, the law; and, since transgender people run the internet now, was almost successful.

Hackernews is totally at sixes and sevens about whom to believe or support.

I assume part of the confusion that people have is that kiwifarms harassment is not (always) blatantly obvious. Most of the time, they don't outright say "go harass this person" (unlike other sites).

The users claim they have rules against harassment and that they don't engage in it. But as demonstrated by the links I've posted elsewhere in this thread, that is not entirely true. The owner of the site has admitted to allowing harassment, and has even directed it on some occasions
