So, okay. This needs to be said and understood:
KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan are NOT reliable sources.
They're not.
Their entire reason for being is to manufacture reasons to ostracize people. They are, by any definition, hate machines.
You know the saying "trust but verify"? I am telling you: you can't trust these sources.
If you're going to attack and harass someone, find a better source than KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan. Please.

@noelle Also Lolcow....
Im defintely feeling like we have more than enough troll/harassing/doxxing encouraged sites out there.
Even if those sites were legitimately posting info on someone actually DANGEROUS to the community, no way you can pull that out of all the muck normally spewed there.

@Catwoman69y2k @noelle Yeah, there's no way to sift through the edited bullshit and lies and *pictures of an innocent person's ~~child~~* that they've been archiving for totally legit, not-harassment purposes.
The danger to the community is letting KFers in.
brief mention of sex work in an example
@SyrusRayne @noelle and that may be a harder part to figure out. To use a self example: I am a SWer, but I use a seperate set of email addresses for any of my social media and selling platforms related to that. Some of that seperation is professionally necessary and some of it is out of consideration of the furry community (who highly stigmatizes SW)
But... (1/2)
