So, Have you ever sat down and dug through ALL the Shit that is 4chan? You named… 4? boards. Great. Now, I’ve been browsing 4chan for almost 2 years now. Like most people, I started out on /b/. and have since then moved on to the other boards. I now go to boards such as /asp/ where I have made and become friends with people all over the world.(Cali, New York, Ireland, England, Germany, Spain). I’ve since met up and trained with them. From /fit/ I have learned how to take care of myself better, what to eat. Hell, They even taught me how to have confidence in myself. I’m even getting help in keeping my French Skills up from some dude from France on /int/ While I take a semester off to save up to go back
But now lets get to /b/.
I’m not going to bother to ask you if you have lurked for long periods of time, but if you have you would know. As much of a hassle they are, have you seen the amount of people they STOP from doing things? I have witnessed them report numerous school shootings, and report credit card theft(against a black woman. How bout that?)
Now, Isn’t there like a whole “Acceptance” for people who want to “Express” themselves? So, Why cant I express myself about how black people got their asses ripped apart by a far more technology advanced Britain, before I go and train with my Black Friend and Marvel at how he moves is body? Why cant I express how Gay people bug me when I’m hit on by them, but then go Drink with My Gay Brothers, and bring in the dudes to help them get laid?I await what will be 4th of July for this to happen. Whatever is about to happen.
That’s a very touching story and I’m glad you’ve found some friends, everyone deserves some friends but think to yourself for a little while. Could you do any better? Could you be any better? Are you happy with aiming for the bottom and dragging everyone down with you?
Your flippant attitudes to social issues are harmful. Period. Have you ever heard of the “butterfly effect”? A few jokes about n-words and transpeople here and there couldn’t possibly do any harm. Or could it? Put your ego on hold for a minute and think about the big picture. Those little jokes touch a number of people, a percentage of them will think “They made a horrible disgusting joke, maybe it’s ok if I do the same thing and pass the joke on to my other friends.”
And the cycle has begun. Pretty soon you find yourself in a situation where a vulnerable minority being the butt of a joke is 100% normalized. No-one spoke up, no-one rocked the boat and now you have people killing themselves because the “jokes” are too much.
It doesn’t matter how many “good” things /B/ claims to have done. 100 rights don’t make up for the 1 big wrong.
Your culture needs to change because you’re pretty much a manifestation of everything that’s wrong with the world.
