Several people have pointed out to me that the use of a swastika in the logo was confusing and could accidentally give the impression that we support nazism.
We apologise sincerely for any mixed messages and offence caused. The goal was to make the connection between 4chan and nazism because in recent days Anonymous have been distributing nazi propaganda in an anti-semetic “recruitment” campaign
A brief introduction to what the 4chan website is, how it functions and what the users are like.
I had a fairly major computer failure last night and a lot of my work is currently hanging in the balance. I’ve been told it’s a hardware or hard drive failure. It started being weird and doesn’t even load Windows anymore.
It will be a few days or a week before I can finish and publish more stuff I was preparing.
Keep the submissions coming. I’ve saw some really great ideas.
Anonymous asked: Are you sure you really want to annoy 4chan? I understand where you're coming from and really appreciate it, I really do. But why? They attacked my friend one time because they found out she was transgender, for no other reason than they knew her name and the fact her gender intimidated them. They sent photoshopped nude pictures of her to her principle and made accusations of child porn. It's just, I appreciate your efforts but I don't want you to suffer for it. Are you sure about this?
Your story is exactly why this blog is necessary. We have several web developers on our team who are deeply familiar with the tactics of 4chan and Anonymous, please don’t worry about us. We have taken action to protect ourselves and are prepared to front this campaign.
I want to reassure all of our supporters that it’s highly unlikely 4chan will target you in particular. The honest truth is, they’re largely impotent losers who thrive on the previous “successful operations” under the Anonymous name.
The safest advice I can offer right now is to avoid using an account that uses your real life name when you support #ShutDown4chan
These people are relentless and will do anything to hurt anyone who doesn’t agree with them. This isn’t a joke. This can literally mean life or death for some people.
Stay safe.
Much love from SD4C
Okay, I think it’s pretty obvious that 4chan has gotten wind of this and have already started to make jokes. That’s fine.
WE’RE NOT AFRAID OF YOU ANYMORE
Oh wow, this has really taken off. I’ve been quite busy with my finals this week but will be back soon with more info and more fighting spirit.
The response has been amazing! Thank you! And a big welcome and hello to all of our new follower friends!
In the meantime, this blog fully endorses and supports the #NoRIP (NO to RECKLESS INTERNET POSTING) movement because you just don’t know who your words could be hurting.
“Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will leave scars that haunt you forever”
Don’t forget to show your shared support for #ShutDown4chan and #NoRIP.
Shutting down 4chan will shutdown some of the most reckless and disgusting posters on the internet.
It’s time to shutdown 4chan.org
Join us on July 4th to celebrate our freedom and independence from racists by shutting down 4chan.
We will go to their site and as a form of protest we will overwhelm them with corrections to their awful lies and let them really know what the world thinks of them.
TW: I don’t think it’s really safe to go alone. The misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, anti-semitism, rape jokes and blatant racism will often be too much for any sane person.
Please spread the message and don’t be afraid to get involved!
Comics, stories, poetry, essays or pictures are all welcome! Every little helps!
See you on July 4th
#ShutDown4chan
