i think it’s worth emphasizing just how apt the comparison between taxxon’s stalkers and kiwifarms users really is. the worst of them consistently have that self-aggrandising “i am very rational and moral” tone to their posts that those kiwifarms users who still want to pretend that they’re normal people and not rolling around in the mud have, the frequency and volume of posts probably even exceeds what would be possible on kf for a group of stalkers this size, because it’s not a thread but a collection of blogs, and worse yet there’s this unverifiable sense of mass participation because of all the anon asks that come flowing in.

one of the most effective surface level criticisms of kiwifarms you can make is that you’d have to be a cruel, asocial yet drama obsessed, and reactionary loser to post on the site, and you can tell how effective this is because many if not most kiwifarms users will happily cop to it. in contrast, not one of taxxon’s stalkers will give a single inch to people who recognise how deeply strange and cruel their behaviour is - they are entirely convinced of their moral righteousness in ceaselessly posting about her

i don’t know what lessons to take from this, other than the incredibly obvious one that this is only happening on this website because the target is a trans woman, but i wanted to make the point. the behaviour of the people stalking patricia taxxon is just as cruel and horrible as it looks - people are not exaggerating about it.
