The forum, as of 2018, does not (officially) encourage or allow [[A-logging]].

Kiwi farms users often infiltrate semi-private incel forums to take screencaps which they then post. In contrast to [[r/IncelTears]], though, they do not tell their users to send woman-hating speech to law enforcement worldwide and they don't try to get incel sites shut down, preferring to bully people they find amusing enough so that they stay in the public sphere, but not so much that they go away altogether. | |||
The [[anti-incel]] thread on kiwifarms is chock full of incel on incel violence. The founder of the site was a [[NEET]] celibate not-by-choice, and the users share similar traits. Another strange thing about the thread is that once in a while a prominent incel from a controversial incel board is "doxxed", but its rarely the actual person. This suggests incels use the thread to leak pics of random people or people they don't like as themselves. Kiwifarms' incel thread is extremely popular, amassing millions of thread views. | The [[anti-incel]] thread on kiwifarms is chock full of incel on incel violence.
