As a person who lived through Gamergate, my base assumption here is that the attacks Kiwifarms are alleged to have made are entirely fictional. This is something that I (and you) could possibly check if there was some kind of Archive of the Internet, but apparently that evidence was just destroyed for reasons which are not suspicious at all.

- dark-star 4y agoThat might well be, but I doubt it could be validated with an archive of the site, because much of it probably happened in PMs or was at some point deleted by the mods/admins. It's incredibly difficult to validate things "on the internet" these days, because basically it boils down to people you don't know claiming things you can't confirm or deny without having been there. I mean some people maintain that byuu, who is said to be one of the KF victims driven into suicide, cannot even be confirmed dead since nobody except some of his closest friends know where his grave is, and because his death is not registered in the US database of deaths abroad. If I had been harrassed by anyone in the extent he has, this is exactly how I would have staged my death to "disappear" and start a new life in some other country... I really want to believe he is still alive and kicking in a small town somewhere in rural asia...
