    I’m not putting my mental health on the line by acutally being on 4chan, there are some good memes and shitpost on there tho. So this form of filter strikes a good balance

      4chan’s random board isn’t the risky experience it once was. Now it is just mostly nazis, trans hate, and porn. I’ll drop by the papercraft board from time to time.

        Thats the point, at one time it was pure chaos and it was SO racist, homophobic and sexist that it transcended it. A lot of people now are literally too young to remember the “glory” days.

        The only thing that mattered was the bantz and how funny or fucked up you could be. “Tits or GTFO” wasnt implying that women werent welcome or a lower class, it meant that it wasnt relevant to the shitposting. Canadians were called “Syrup Ni**ers” or “Leaf f*gs” regardless. It was horrifying and at the same time amazing because we all knew it was just lulz. But people took the edgelord humor and made it their personality, they took it seriously. It became a cesspit.

      That would be Pepe the frog, a cartoon character whose sad face was initially turned into a meme called “feels bad, man” but then it was adopted as an icon for downtrodden heterosexual white men and incels, and eventually became recognized as a Hate Speech Icon that certain “Anons” use purely because they think it’s cool to be edgy and rebellious.

      TLDR: It’s a symbol like a modern swastika.

      Not true. People go to the zoo in hopes of watching the animals fuck.

      You’d have better luck watching the pandas than 4chan if that’s what you’re into.

    browsing 4chan is like diving for pearls in a sewer. thank you, I’d rather just look at the pearls after they’ve been cleaned.

      Quickly, pretend like we aren’t watching at all, and disable the subreddits and other social media.

      Give it a week and they will have forgotten all about it, and we can go back to eating popcorn.

        The normies over on 4chan probably can’t even find us here.

    I’m so glad I don’t use 4chan
    but arguably lemmy much closer to it than reddit
