Running a Kiwi Farms clone isn't how you combat sexual violence or any other heinous crime.


Explain how you do it then. Propose an idea so much better that it makes kiwi farms clones obsolete.


Improve the justice system. That's the only answer.

There is nothing worse than adding more injustice to the world because of some other injustice. And being righteous about it.


25 of every 1000 rapes ends in a conviction(2.5%)[1]. What percent would you estimate that would have to increase to in order to count as a large enough improvement to the justice system to obsolete the need for whisper networks?

There is no "need" for the destruction of justice and the rule of law. Citing crime statistics doesn't change this fact. You're literally bringing up the "tough on crime" rhetoric yet again, it's been used as justification for the kind of things you're promoting since the start of time, and not once has it brought about a better outcome.


So 2.5% of rapes resulting in a conviction is too high for you?


We both know that's not what I'm saying. Not even close. But you're going to repeat the same lie and ad hominem because you have nothing else to say.


So it's too low? How high do you estimate it needs to be to obsolete whisper networks?
