Kiwi Farms reminds me of Something Awful forums in its prime, a forum I was a part of in my teens. We were making fun of internet celebrities but also talking about politics and Xbox vs PS2 vs Gamecube, same as Kiwi Farms.

Just because we made unsavory posts doesn't mean we wouldn't want to register a pseudonym.

>That people wanted accounts with emails and persistent identity on a forum dedicated to harassment is also bizarre.

What's the purpose of being a master troll if you can't get meaningless internet points for it?

It's not hard to keep persistent identity pretty much "anonymous", just use a throwaway e-mail and generated password, and if the website's owner message is to be believed that was the majority of people. They did have a leak back in 2019 so i'm inclined to believe him on that.
