They could have just waited two weeks and everyone would forget about that.

They also host extreme korean feminism site womad.life I'm sure there's a lot more not so nice places that they host or offer CDN for. While not taking a stance whether their actions are good or bad, it makes less attractive to rely them for their services if they can simply drop you off from their network. Especially considering they are more or less MITM (if using CDN). If using them it is at least good idea to consider a backup in case there's a conflict.

  What does extreme feminism mean to you? I don't speak or read Korean so the site wasn't clear to me.

    Reading through some of the translated stuff, it seems they refer to men as "dicks" (I think this is a diminutive to imply that men are just disgusting penises, not the English slang for "dick" being an arsehole/cunt) and "parasites" and advocate violence against them for breathing too loudly.

      Advocating for violence is not good, but I can understand how women can be pissed at the patriarchy.

    There is global board there, though not as active. People post there in english. You can read more from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womad_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womad_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalia

  > While not taking a stance whether their actions are good or bad It took me 10s to find incitement to violence, in both posts and comments. That said, I think it's fair most people aren't afraid of feminist extremists. The Kiwifarms rationale was real world harm (although it's not cleae both whether non-real harm exists and the line between indirect and direct harm). Does this site have a similar problems? There is a difference between threats and credible threats, after all. To be crystal clear, I'm not endorsing or defending any party.

    There's recorded incidents with both womad and megalia, including child sexual abuse. They are pretty much the main reason all sort of feminism, even non-radical is considered as male hate in south korea.

I'm pretty sure birthday week is the same time every year, although GA week is new. I guess that part could have been brought up to further drown out the KF drama, but it seems like a stretch to me. Pulling up general availability sounds a lot harder than the demos of birthday week. Edit: for example, here's their 2019 birthday week post, from Sept 22nd 2019: https://blog.cloudflare.com/birthday-week-2019/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/birthday-week-2019/

  Your birthday does not move on the calendar, but your celebration can certainly be ramped in order to try to overwrite how badly you behaved a few weeks ago.

Outside of the twitter circles, I don't think this would have been remembered by many people within the next week.
