This was basically someone confirming that the “do-it-yourself hub” actually exists. Keffals can’t attempt to laugh or snark her way out of this given that screenshots have not only revealed people talking about it but also gloating how they illegally make these hormones accessible to minors without doctor oversight or parental consent. And to think that at one point in time I really liked watching her streams, I mean come on…

If you don’t think the news regarding… the Discord server that I’ve been complaining about can get any worse, moderators literally turned blind eyes to adults perving on (“flirting with”) minors on the server that they knew were minors. This should never have been allowed to happen in the first place, but these mods have proven time and time again that they do not have children’s best interests in mind. To date, as of the time that this post has been published, there have been two separate instances of adults “flirting with” minors, wanting to pursue relationships with them, and that generally being cheered on and supported by the majority of active server participants. Keffals’ Discord server needs the kind of overhaul that is a lot more comprehensive than implementing a level system which has also been conveniently used to hide channels where minors are inappropriately talked to from the public view that would otherwise result from joining.

I’ve been pointing these things out on Twitter, and so far to date I have not received a single negative message about doing so. For the most part, people don’t seem to be surprised that this is going on, and many of them have left the server — to include no longer liking Keffals herself, the streamer — for those reasons or a combination of other ones, such as how abusive the moderators are. This has already become a liability for Keffals, though… Kiwi Farms has been reporting on it. To be honest, that doesn’t surprise me.

Branching off of the “men causing apprehension and anxiety” post that I made not too long ago, there was something else that I wanted to bring up: there was another reason that I left, and will not return to, this Discord server or any of the satellite servers that I had joined made by people who were a part of the original server. Fortunately for me I did not waste a substantial amount of time on these servers, although I did make a few friends on them that may or may not continue to be my friends depending on if they read what I’ve had to say about… the main server, and how they feel about that. I’ve been Tweeting about it, making fun of the mod who said that “this is not up for debate” when I’ve pointed out what I’m getting to.

At any rate, getting the show on the road: although the streamer of this server (or these servers, if you want to get technical) has been accused of grooming children — something that I don’t think she’s done because she doesn’t even appear to have the time to do it, let alone any of the proclivities — I do think that the people on her server, particularly the moderators, don’t know how to have decent or even appropriate interactions with minors, who I know for a fact are members of her server. If you’re not related to the minor in question, you shouldn’t be talking to them online, even if you claim that you’re “being a role model” to them — this is an absolutely horrible, flimsy excuse, and you should feel bad for even attempting to use it. If you are an adult, you don’t have anything in common with an unrelated minor that you are more than a few years older than, excepting Romeo and Juliet sorts of situations. You don’t need to be their “friend”, their “special friend”, whatever you want to call it — your behavior is predatory and you are grooming them. The main server implicated in all of this has set up channels where minors can… talk to adults like this, ones that you have to substantially level up for within the scope of the server’s leveling system to be able to access, and that says all that needs to be said right there: the fact that moderators have gone to such great lengths to hide these chats means that they know that what they are hiding is very inappropriate. None of this is appropriate.

I have absolutely no faith that the mods, or people directly involved in this, will ever change though.
