      Chandler is far from the only “lolcow” to be targeted by KF. If anything, Kiwi Farms has been a victim of its own terrifying “success,” and attracted way more would-be trolls than its Ur-victim could possibly respond to.

      Much like the average Kiwi Farms user is a far bigger lolcow than most of the lolcows that they obsessively a-log, the average Kiwi Farms user is also a much more depraved sexual deviant than even the average autogynephile tranny (which is REALLY saying something).
