   Josh, and the rest of the pro-bono social workers at kiwi farms, have the same sort of burnout you see in an emergency room doctor. They’ve spent so long watching people come in through the door with every time of energy, they see every possible interest in the worst light.

   “I want a trampoline!”

   “No way, that’s how you end up paralized, every kid I’ve ever seen with a trampoline is a cripple”

   “I want a playstation!”

   “nope, not happening, I see weird shut-ins with platstations killing themselves all the time”

   “I wanna get a job! Can I be a paperboy?”

   “no way, that’s how you end up spending money on drugs! Better to keep you safe in the house”

   “okay can I join the lacrosse team?”

   “HELL NO, you’ll DESTROY your knees! That’s so dangerous!!!!”

   And so on forever.

     @Mamako Funny enough, the only subculture that Kiwifarmers DON’T think indulges in its hobby to autistic, gross excess is people-watching. And that’s only a blind spot because there isn’t a kiwifarms-like site chronicling THEM like they keep track of their pet lolcows.

     There’s been a lot of good that’s come from them keeping track of a light of nightmares, though. Overall I’m probably more amenable to Josh than a lot of you. I think he’s stuck by his beliefs even when it’s basically ruined his entire life, and that’s more than most of us can say.

     His tireless efforts in keeping the farms going have done immeasurable good in pushing back the tide of evil and troonery - the side effect of that is that the very technicians in that mental hospital take on a LOT of burnout and cynicism. To them, liking anything is the first step towards wearing rainbow thigh-highs, because that’s the only kind of human they engage with

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Mamako I look at Josh as a spiteful dick, but he’s a smart spiteful dick who is pretty tech-savvy and is spiteful towards the right people (most of the time.)

     I appreciate the work he does towards a free-er internet, but he doesn’t always follow the logic to the logical end. I appreciate that there’s a place like the Kiwi Farms that catalogues people like Brianna Wu or Lucas so that the bullshit they did in the past isn’t forgotten. My issue with them is that the site seems to only attract spiteful mutants who only care about people watching when it causes lives to be ruined. It’s not enough to watch and catalogue. They have to whisper into the weirdo’s ear, “You know what’d be funny? You should fuck your mom.”

     @Codeki @Mamako Yeah, it’s attracted very maladjusted weirdoes by now. You can tell, because everyone’s join date is always pretty recent. Not a whole lot of old people around anymore.

     I just think it’s funny how they’re doing the same thing that case workers do - hell, they do an even better job charting and documenting their mental patients
