Episode 131: Who Is Stalking The Twitch Streamer Keffals, And Are They From Kiwi Farms? (Part I)

Today, Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal present the first ever BARPod two-parter in known human history. This duology will chronicle, in exhaustive detail, a calamitous struggle between Kiwi Farms, a gossip board and/or harassment amplifier and/or literal digital version of Hitler’s mountain rereat and/or actual terrorist organization (depending on you ask), and Keffals, a Twitch streamer and trans activist. The story somehow also involves, in no particular order, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Cloudflare, the entire mainstream media, Northern Ireland, Destiny, The Ulster Volunteer Force, The Ulster KiwiFarms Force, “ChudLogic” (?), questionable grooming allegations, unquestionable helping-minors-get-hormones allegations, GoFundMe, mean chat logs, even meaner chat logs, doxxing, harassing, stalking, Ethan Ralph, stealthing, screaming, swatting, and Reply All’s Alex Goldman. (Plus some more stuff in Part 2.)

(CORRECTION VIA COMMENTER: “Small correction on the go fund me targets. The original goal was way lower (30k I think). Everytime the goal was reached, a new goal was set in 10k increments. This article shows the goal at 70k just after they passed 60k in donations. I'm sure the wayback machine will have the original page. https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/twitch-streamer-keffals-left-traumatized-getting-swatted”) (Wayback does confirm this: https://archive.ph/WA0XR)

(POSSIBLY OVER-CAUTIOUS CLARIFICATION FROM JESSE, 9/12/22: We’ll mention this in the next ep but I do want to be crystal clear that there were firearms present at Keffals’ arrest. The London, Ontario Police Chief’s statement noted, “In this case, firearms were displayed until it was determined a threat no longer existed. I acknowledge that for the average citizen, having heavily armed police officers attend your residence would be traumatic. I understand this was a traumatic and shocking experience for Ms. Sorrenti.” And here’s what Keffals told Vice: “They told me to put my hands up, and when I get to the door, there are three police officers,” Sorrenti said. “Two of them were standing up and one of them in the middle was crouched down behind a riot shield with an assault rifle perched on top of the shield.”)

Notes:

Keffals claims to be woken up to an assault rifle in her face, leading to the campaign against KiwiFarms
