Go back to kiwifarms or whatever chan site you came from!
What is kiwifarms?
It's an internet forum that picks targets they think it would be funny to harass (dubbed "lolcows") and then doxes, tracks and harasses them.
It started life as people following, doxing and harassing Chris-chan (as a consequence Chris-chan is probably the single most documented human in history because of internet weirdos). Chris-chan did eventually come out as trans, but that didn't happen until they'd already been obsessively watching them for over a decade so they clearly didn't start targeting them because of trans status.
It usually gets painted as being a primarily anti-trans site, but they don't limit themselves to trans people, though they do have a board for trans targets. They have an entire board dedicated to furries, another dedicated fat activists, etc. If you're internet-famous and kinda weird or controversial, they've probably started a thread to at least start obsessively gooning over you if not worse than that. Their thread on Musk has the blurb "Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter owner + ex-paypal CEO. Manchild, sexual deviant, spergy autist with access to space travel ."
The site most recently made news headlines when CloudFlare decided to cut them off, being the first time that CF has ever behaved in the fashion of a content moderator. This took them down for a couple of days until they found an alternate anti-DDOS solution.
That's alot. I prefer the real world over the digital one personally but whatever Chris-chan is sounds interesting and I may check that out. Thanks
Chris-chan is a person who got targeted literal decades ago and has been persistently doxed and harassed ever since. The constant dozing, harassment and scrutiny has really messed them up, overall and they weren't in a great mental place to start with.
Just imagine the single most elaborate doxing and cyber bullying campaign ever devised, enacted over years going back to at least 2009 and ongoing to this day. Every detail of the poor person documented because they became kind of an obsession for some folks.
The notorious KiwiFarms dozing and harassment forum was literally born from Chris-chans stalkers expanding their target roster.
