    I’m pretty sure it started on 4chan and kf just ran with it bc I remember people posting about “oh so exploitable lolcows” on /b/ back in like 2006 (maybe before?). There was a section for lolcows on ED too. How old is kf?

      Its possible that it started on 4chan (I dont know the history of the term). These days its more of a Kiwifarms thing if we talk about the targeted harrassment of people for entertainment.

        Yeah from what I understand it seems like kf was originally gathering place for users from 4chan that specifically wanted to target people with harassment in a similar way that 8chan would later be for gamergate/qanon posters. Or at least that’s what it always seemed like

        I remember there being some early kf like posts of 4chan like that one young girl they harassed who’s dad did the cyber police and other stuff like that.

        Apparently the name's literally just making fun of the way Christine Chandler pronounced the name of the wiki dedicated to harassing her.
