Kiwi Farms, I suspect.

Is that something people should or shouldn't be Bing-ing?
It's not NSFW (as far as I know). It's far worse. It seems to be a web forum that's into harassing minorities, sometimes to the point of suicide. Worse, it may be harassment with the intent of causing suicide. It's appalling.
How is it relevant to hacker news?
I take it you've missed out on Hacker News' meltdown du jour:

Oh, I see... Well, there is a sort of alarmingly high number of people defending what appears be a cesspool of hate and bigotry.
Not exactly (at least I hope not). I think they're defending the rights of cesspools to still have freedom of speech.

(Except it's not government restrictions, so it's not exactly First-Amendment-style free speech.)

(And, in defending KF's right to be on the internet, they're defending other businesses being required to carry them, which is... free speech for KF but not for people like Cloudflare.)
