Kiwifarms is a forum that mainly is about chronicling the life events of people it can laugh at, often those suffering from mental illness.

Oftentimes, kiwifarms users directly harass or manipulate their targets to try to provoke more weird behavior, usually directly making the target's life worse in the process.

I can see why it's entertaining for folk (kind of like watching reality television), but overall it seems to have a pretty negative effect. And if you hang out there too long, it seems like you tend to lose human empathy.

What does it mean to be "closely tied to Ethan Ralph"?
