I've been on Onionfarms for a 5 days now, and I have a much better idea of what it is and who makes up most of it. It's not as cool as I first thought...some observations:
1. Most of the site is based on group shaming mostly e celebrities, where much is made of them being variously oblivious, self-involved, cringe, etc. But for every thread dedicated to someone the site wants to document and shame, there are thousands of people who obsessively monitor and discuss these "e celebrities'" every move. They don't understand that it's far more undignified to be like that than to be like whoever is their target.
2. A large part of their targets are men pretending to be women. But what I have realized is that the majority of these critics are in fact either themselves men pretending to be women, or men that are attracted to men pretending to be women, and their obsessive focus on a few individuals like themselves is merely to refine the "community," rather than a disgust for the concept itself. Often they are simply seeing what not to do so as to avoid being ridiculed the same way as their targets, though they are very strikingly similar in personality and affectation.
3. Majority of users are not of independent mind; that is, they are interchangeable and seem to love mob rule on principle. The site reminds me very much of Kiwifarms, and in many ways they are identical.
Overall, I'm very disappointed with the site. I think when I first joined I thought most of the users would be more interesting.
