You'll never get any units that mean anything, 4chan is an unquantifiable, ever-changing morass of temporary content with no identities. It's not a reliable source of any type of data because by the time you refer to it as a source of data that data will have changed. /pol/'s actual view on politics is not definable and constantly fought over, that's what that board is.

Yet I suppose it's undeniable that this is the anonymous Internet in it's purest available form, this is the birthplace of very real stand alone complexes. Stand alone complexes, however, have no originator that could be discovered or quantified, no center, no reaction site. There's nothing for you here but chaos.

>>693410126
It's not an attempt at defining 4chan, it's more about seeing if there is any serious link between the perspectives of the anon and the content on the site.

>>693410126
And besides, there is a lot of consistency despite the ephemerality, anonymity and chaos. This place has a history and a culture.

fuck you op and your over achieving complex to gain some modicum of self worth by thinking you are doing "revolutionary research". No matter how hard you try your mom will never approve of you.

You're implying a discontinuity between anon and his content, this probably does not exist in any meaningful way. If you're looking to prove if 4chan causes "rightward" political leanings, sure, but only because the nature of 4chan promotes forbidden speech. This development I think has to do much with the interactions between liberal culture and conservative culture in the wider sphere of the real world. Vox wrote an excellent article called "The smug style of American liberalism" that outlines an evolution of liberal culture in which they find their counterparts to be unbearable, uneducated hicks as a cottage industry of anti-conservative humor pelts them from afar. In the same vein conservatives want to essentially "excommunicate" the liberal for his disrespect, his carelessness and his failure to love his country. 4chan seems to lean rightward because the right can only be loud in private, liberals have them in what amounts to the social "smoking section" as more and more "humor" becomes "proof" they're stupid. Meanwhile, Obama gets nowhere in 8 years of attempted bi-partisanship, people blame the tea party, but really it was the demand of the entire "right" they blockade everything because things are just that bad between us now. 4chan reflects this, that's why it's so vicious and strange politically.

>>693411775
That's okay with me anon.

>>693411997

4chan doesn't cause right wing leanings. If you were on 4chan before 2008 you'd know this. Rather, it is a culture based on rejecting of what is now called "normie" culture. When Bush was president, the majority of posters seemed to think conservatives were idiots. However, the racism has shown to persist no matter what current counterculture leaning the average poster has.

You shouldn't be trying to prove that 4chan effects the way people think anyway. Then even more people will try using it for that. Like that episode of Murphy Brown where they interview people in the cafe during an election. You are a destructive element.

>>693408205
Nobody else seems to understand the question, but here's my answer:
No. 4chan doesn't make me more racist or homophobic or anti - anything.

4 chan is anonymous, people can say or do what they want without repercussions, people can pretend to be whoever they want, everyone here is more racist, homophobic, bi - curious and sicker in the head than they are irl, I doubt very many people here would post any of 'this shit' on facebook without fear of destroying their street cred.

mayte.. your university are full of illuminatis who help other cult members to cheat and pass.


I suggest you get the fuck out of Australia, mayte. As most of them are worshiping Satan (Akadawa) in his end of times human form.

Am serious, if you want proof just focus on school of medical science and Yandy Liang (student)..

Not to mention the creepy statue of Satan and other naked people around him down building 51 I think.

Am serious man. Just get the fuck out of Australia. 7 years there seen nothing but hell. Crazy people who worship AntiChrist who pay them $ stolen from tax payers money deposited straight into their bank account.

And they really think he's God.. I mean come on anyone can learn Solomon Magic and rape few women who got lots of Quarts energy to accumulate all that much of energy right?

These Kabbalah people never left me any privacy, AFP breaking into my house... RMIT dropping Swanston ST wall on my way while driving on the road, barely passing it, they threw Kangaroo for me to crash into down 1470 Eltham RD. They did so much.

BTW.. head to "Victorian Motorcycle Wreckers" and ask Kenny if he is still interested if coming to Sharjah and molest UAE Children sponsored by Sharjah Ruler.

Please tell him to fuck off from UAE as we are sick from Australians "friends of Sharjah Ruler" coming to our country since 70s and abducting our children molesting them then returning them injected with memory loss drugs or "duub duuub duuub" memory loss spell. With left fingers ( IIII_) pointed...

am serious. just get the fuck out quickly. They will try to inject you with HIV or HepC also. Given that Mazaher was allowed to access the lap.

What's worse? hmmmmm I think girls only schools who don't wear underwear claiming Satan comes and fuck them. Yuk... for fuck sake.

Most of that is true, but I'd beg to differ on the opinions of 4channers. Most of us are to some degree racist, hating whatever else you want to list, but at least on /b/, you'll get called a faggot for not being racist in a crowd of racists. Once you see the amount of threads that had been posted daily(which have died down now), it seemed strange to not be unironically racist if you wanted to be in the "4chan norm".

With that said though, most of the things on /b/ are for the lulz, and that's why we stay here

No, 4chan hasn't altered me...but I was 40 when I started lurking here (now 50).

I would say it would have a negative effect on minors who are exposed to things they wouldn't or shouldn't see until they're older. Then again, I'm speaking as a parent that closely monitored (and blocking) what my son and step-daughter were doing online. The Internet is not a good babysitter.

>>693414780
They are designed to respond to bias and adapt accordingly. That's why I included 'other' options everywhere.

I felt stupid writing it, but it's true. There is a mentality to 4chan, and certain things are considered okay to post and not okay to post. For example, you will get berated for posting unironic feminist threads.
>>693414877
So you're saying somebody who has used 4chan for years can't be trusted because it's not your opinion

Still taking the survey OP but I'd like to point out a trend I've noticed. Racism and homophobia on 4chan used to just be about making a joke about "others," but it seems as computers become easier to use more conservatives have found their way online. Anyways what I was going to point out is how interesting I've always thought the use of "fag" and "faggot" on here is. It used to almost be a term of endearment (we're all just a bunch of fags - be it newfags or oldfags. Or OP is always a faggot) back in the 2000s when using "gay" to mean stupid was socially acceptable. It wasn't necessarily directed at someone's sexuality but used to tie us together. However, now it seems to mostly be used by actual homophobes.

>>693414958
Assuming you have the time, I would really like to hear more about your experiences. 10 years worth of lurking... you would have an interesting perspective.

>>693415206
Thanks anon. I have observed much the same (hence the questions).

I wonder about the use of 'fag/faggot' too, and I have read a lot of academic writing that just assumes its all banter, but no one ever actually asks the fucking users.

I might. Hm, how new are you? Another thing to understand is we seem to be being censored by a liberal moderation base, this has drastically affected the culture and causes the deletion of some content. Things weren't always this way, we got taken over when someone named Nick Denton who's niece threatened to kill herself during our raid on Tumblr used his power and influence to taint this place. There is a considerable disaspora to other, relatively non-censored sites the names of which are tellingly blocked from even being posted. "Our system thinks your post is spam" it will say, try it yourself.

>>693415158

OP here. Been lurking for about 6 years. There was some discussion of this in the thread I started on /pol/ too... definitely worth looking into further. Cheers.

>>693415206
Which is really odd if you think about the sexual attitudes here. Traps and gays are pretty well accepted here. Hell, last night someone found gay porn on a good friend's computer...and was freaked out. OP was saying he couldn't be friends with a homosexual and got ripped by most everyone in the thread.

The racism though....that is more real. It's like Stormfront set up a branch on /b/

So you're saying that everyone that faps is in denial.

The thread last night was a perfect example. Tons of threads about straights and bisexuals sharing gay experiences.

Yes, there is always a few critics...but most are accepting.

It's true. Mutiply 4chan by 2 and look there, that's the primary diaspora but there's definitely more. A lot of 4chan's older users left, frankly, I keep watching /b/ for the same reason you're studying it, it's an important site of memetic "emergence" and, well, just plain addictive. I've uh...been here since 2005, I was referred directely into /d/ by a SomethingAwful forum friend. I'd never seen so many dicks in places they don't belong. Certainly, this place has change, we hated bush-era conservatism with a passion, but now that the liberal and conservative cultures have genuinely diverged this place is a genuine battleground.

>>693416244

Oh please, you know I'm right. Moot sold this place to Mook to get back at those assholes. Mook is the only reason we can post fucking anything. Mook is a good fucking guy.

>>693416213
I think it's interesting that trap threads used to be bait and switch. You'd post a passable trap and then reveal that they had a penis after half an hour or so. I've always wondered if that affected the sexuality of posters and if that's why there are so many more strictly porn trap threads now, or if people are just more open about their sexuality now.


Also good job hiding your Facebook picture OP but you may want to hide your relationship status to strangers.

>>693416068
And how exactly are you able to make that assessment?

>>693417065

>>693416440
Since we know that sexuality is more fluid than originally thought.. seems like a lot of men are experimenting with it....being aroused by feminine men. That isn't to say they'll act on it, but it's an interesting phenomena here.

>>693408205
Aside from making me a bit more callous, giving me a set of typographical conventions to use only one one specific website, causing me to stay up late a miss a few classes, and making me a faggot, 4chan hasn't affected me at all.

Get fucked you intellectual cunt. You're what's wrong with the world, fuck off and try get offended somewhere else.

You decided it, to justify your perversion. You shouldn't have to justify it. What's wrong with just being a pervert?

>>693417105
It's not an assessment. It's the way it is.

4chan operates on a set of rules put together in the early-mid 2000s called the Rules of the Internet. Some are written, others are unwritten. A written rule would be, for example, OP is always a faggot. It's irrelevant what OP's sexuality is, because by the rules if one is OP, one is a faggot. An unwritten rule would be something like "you don't put quotation marks around greentext" - it's just something that shows you're new.

I'm not exactly sure how, but fag eventually became the term for 4chan user in general, with variants for different types, ie oldfag, newfag, tripfag, or summerfag. Additionally, since the board is anonymous, if you want to distinguish yourself, it's common to name yourself <something distinctive>fag. For example, I'm Jeeperfag or Musketfag depending on context.

Yup. Honestly I think this place is more or less positive, once you're cool with desensitization to porn. Especially nowadays with the gore, CP, and raid threads more or less gone, it's really just a community of nerdy perverts who share porn, stories, and advice. Honestly language is the biggest thing I've found change from the site - words like faggot or nigger are common and expected here even if you'd never say either IRL, and after using them several times over the course of a night, you start having to catch yourself before you say them during the day. But I at least don't mean any harm by it, and I doubt most others do too - I'm pretty sure most of the racism on 4chan is hugely exaggerated, and I know for sure that the homophobia on the site is purely superficial (most of 4chan is at least a little bi, so yeah...).

Really, language is the biggest thing I've seen change thanks to /b/. That and sleep schedules (and sexual preferences, but that's not what your study is about).

Also, I'm well aware this is probably b8, but eh, whatever. Got nothing better to do than explain some of the way the site works to a newfag.

Nah. Stuff gets exaggerated. Haven't you ever listened to old dudes talk about fishing stories? It's basically the same as 4chan. The fish get bigger because people are trying to one-up each other in a very limited amount of time before they have to return to people who don't want to hear it.

I reckon aspects of this are true, but it really bugs me that no one has taken the time to find out by asking the actual users. Seriously, check out what has been written on 4chan. It is almost exclusively based on analyzing the posts.

It's like you have no conception of the art of trolling. You should have used reddit for your faggotry.

Oh. So it's just a joke study that no one will read. Good.

>>693420170
It's hard to tell. A lot of it seems to have good intentions, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have literally taken everything at face value.

>>693420335

Believe it or not it really is my PhD research topic. Human research ethics approval and everything.

>>693420606
Considering that a few years ago they were talking about "the infamous hacker known as 4chan," and wanting to talk to "the leader of Anonymous," I'd say they definitely take everything at face value. Or less.

>>693420387
Google's browser fingerprinting in recaptcha and automatic text analysis AI have us all identified and grouped into automatically derived demographics based on what we say on 4chan and how we say it. Or anywhere that uses google services, really.

>>693420817
I used those exact examples when proposing the project! Oh Fox news, you never fail to amuse.

>>693420820
Well, even if I could get access to that data, I doubt I would use it, since that shit strikes me as morally dubious.

This. It's funny, this guy is right to be interested in the ignored "haunted" gold mine where most internet culture is actually emanating from. I really couldn't give him a way to quantify it, though, if the survey gets popular at all people will just stack the survey, I do hope he knows that. He may as well have done a thesis on box jellyfish.

>>693421163
I would like to say that I hope my research helps to reduce that kind of bullshit, but I really don't think mainstream media read academic work.

>>693408205
Quintessentially this board is young-middle aged white dudes, that typically grow up losers. I guess because of this "oldfags" turned this shithole into their own cool club where regular people get told to fuck off because they havent browsed this shit for years. The only accepted behavior on here is racist, sexist, smug comments. You get told to "lurk moar" until you're as desensitized to strange porn and gore and faggots threatening to kill themselves, as everyone else is.

>>693421437
So you want an even broader audience still to come to 4chan and shit the place up yet worse. You are the reason it sucks now. Die in a fire.

Yeah I guess. Im aware of how ridiculous the unwritten rules are here, but even I cant help but to feel superior in a minor way, to people that are obviously new. This board is mostly just a cycle, and once youve seen the cycle enough, you understand the culture and what not, and then it kinda just makes you feel at home to return. Thats why we all complain about how shitty is but usually come back.

Basically this. The rules are the rules and we're all pathetic enough to insult people who don't follow them, even though we have no idea why we do follow them. If a psychologist wanted, they could have a field day on here. But they'd have to lurk a long time in order to get decent data.

I don't think any amount of lurking will really give you much insight into the users. So much contextual interference, and the ability to troll etc.

That and conveniently flowing fresh porn.

I am also open to suggestions for better ways to get /b/ users to visit the site/ consider doing the survey.

How many people, instead of marking 'bisexual', will write something like "straight but I'd have sex with a trap"?

>I'M NOT SAYING I DID

>>693424439
Sorry bud. /b/ isn't the place to survery. You have to watch it play out and try your best to understand. The nature of /b/ is to not give a shit about serious inquiries and fuck around so we can giggle a little bit

>>693417349
fa q

>>693424804
I might have to just accept this. Still, I am optimistic that /b/ will be at least as willing as /pol/ to participate (albeit reluctantly)

>>693408622

>>693424791

>>693425638
Lol, this is true, but there are a lot of /b/ users... I mean a lot. One would think out of that many people at least a few will be vaguely interested.

I'm gayer than I am black.

Is it just me, or is /b/ a bit slow right now?

>>693424947

as long as you're careful to explain this can't be a representative survey (because self-selection, you know enough statistics to know that right?), you can help the illuminating responses shine through once the media picks it up

I don't think its possible to do a representative survey. There does not seem to be any reliable measure of how many people use each board, not to mention how frequently. I will have to spend a lot of time providing caveats.

>>693426512
So pick and choose responses to suit your promotional needs. Very scientific.

niggers

I can't help but respect the methodological critiques, but I am getting the impression that the majority are not keen on social scientific research.

>>693424439
How would that be done. If anything, i see it as impossible since the intrests here are so diverse.

>>693427757
No, not really. >>693427757, though, i cant say much other than that.

>>693427801
The questionnaire is designed to measure (or at least indicate) the diversity of opinion. All the topics are themes every /b/ user will be familiar with.

>>693427946
Why is that? Pretty diverse range of people on here, why do they so frequently agree that social scientific research is shit?

>>693426855

yes, that's actually exactly what I'm saying

it's just a doctoral thesis, even niggers can get one

I mean fucking consider our student here is just going to write some bullshit about le 4chan by interpolating our responses with some other hoity-toity

3:2 odds he plans on namedropping Althusser

>>693427011
Completing the questionnaire right now
Maybe it changes in the last questions but you ask too much questions about 4chan as a whole
Board culture is incredibly important here, I'm not the same poster on /b/ and on /wg/
I feel like this survey is asking about /pol/ more than the others boards

>>693408205
Holy shit OP, instead of asking stupid questions (and more in summer wtf is wrong with you), lurk more

Nobody's opinions change en /b/ as you need to be a fool to take seriously anything said here. This is just a place to say whatever crap rounds your mind. The content may depend on a lot of factors, between those the timezone, the time of the year, if anything relevant happened, etc.

PS: The CP and the gore was to keep fools away, now there's only gay threads, fur threads, "I'm 15 and my life sucks", and several other crap posted by those fools.

>>693428174
Funny you should say that. /pol/ said the exact inverse. Its a fair point though, I am tempted to redesign it to suit individual boards.

If I did though, what questions should I be asking?

>>693428174
Forgot to say, thanks for doing the questionnaire!!

>>693428127
It more of a "nobody gives a shit what you do" kind of thing the way i see it. Also, it may be as someone said above. Things here always change, so it wont really do you any good research on 4chan and say it is exactly how it seems, as it may have changed completely by the time you return.

>>693420750
Slow year for pseudoscience at LaTrobe I suppose.

If you need a vignette for your dissertation, you can say that some faggot on the Internet felt the need to insult you for getting a PhD in SJWology.

>>693428127
Also the mention that not everyone is the same, after all, this is an anonymous image board, you may see one person once, or never.

>>693428583
Your probably right Anon. Yeah, they call it the 'moving target' problem in academic literature on topics about the internet. Well, I guess this is a longitudinal study by default, so I will get to watch the changes as they unfold. Hell, maybe there's a pattern to it.

>>693422516
Stepping stone to tenureship?

You can keep conducting bunk studies and start writing bogus books on your bogus findings. And get paid for it. That seems like the only reason to do what you do.

>>693428738
Ahh, this makes more sense. The assumption that sociologist = SJW.

>>693429036
No tenure in Australia. It is notoriously difficult to earn a decent wage as an academic. I do it because I'm interested.

>>693408571
I started lurking when I was relatively young and I think it has on one hand desensitised me in a lot of ways but on the other in retrospect I think it's really allowed me to assess situations a lot more accuratley because there is no social obligation or anything on here. I have liberal socialistic veiws which are VERY contradictory to my conservative mother and father in large part because of the attatudes on this board.The idea that ;chan makes you a bad person or negatively affects you in any big way is a fallacy I think. People with high moral ethics avoid this sight based on preconsived ideals meaning the majority of us are morally bankrupt ( which in no way is a complaint, those guys make the best threads) which is why it gets a bad wrap. Also Latrobe sucks.

>>693428327
At the very least, next to every choice in "which board do you frequeny?" I would have added a text box for people to say Why

As for /pol/ I can give you my version of their history either by text or Skype

Out of curiosity, how many /b/ users do you think would need to complete the questionnaire before it would be in the ball-park of representative? Hypothetically speaking, I don't think the figure is achievable.

Might email you. But as I tried to point out before, this place is a morass, despite it's appearance of consistency I think you'll be ultimately disappointed. This really is the birthplace of stand alone complexes, these phenomena have no center. If you're expecting to reveal that 4chan is full of racist white people you'll be disappointed to discover it was never that simple.

>>693434234
would have liked "slightly agree". there were lots of statements that have a grain of truth in them but saying "mostly agree" seems too strong.

>>693434692
Hmm, did you end up using the 'other' option to answer? I will definitely consider increasing the range of possible answers to questions. 5 scale might be too restrictive.

Well this is why I am so keen on interviews. Gives me a chance to find out the different ways that people have experienced /b/ and 4chan. I have never assumed that all 4chan users are the same or that they necessarily reflect what appears on the boards. It's what got me into the project in the first place.

Considering it. Though I have to say the 4chan event that change my politics the most was Gamergate, I was a first-hand witness to both how much the media was willing to tell lies about us knowing we couldn't really fight back and the pro-liberal strongarm that followed. I used to be liberal, they changed all that, they told the tales about how they came for "atheism" first, it all seems so obviously aimed at white males. As does your survey, so I think you should research "critical theory" because that's what is driving most liberal opinion now despite being a cult-tier, racist theory.

Also consider being spidermanned an honor, he's the face of indignant moral outrage on /b/ these days. It means you're doing something.

> probably just newfag who thinks 4chan is right wing because trump

4chan is as left leaning as it gets in socialist countries. The whole fact of us all having an equal voice here despite our socio-economic situations. Thats equalitarianism. Not really what right-wingers try to push in the usa.

Ethically: 4chan constantly posts incest, furry, shota, loli, trap, gay, black women, asian women, hentei. These are never ending. Show this to a conservative and he would die. Moreover, 4chan isnt actually racist or misogynistic. This has been well explained in the past, its just vocabulary. Most people on this board believe in egalitarianism which stems from the way this board is as an anonymous cesspool.

Tl:dr theres nothing right wing or conservative about 4chan. This anon is 12 and gay. Hes also retarded and doesnt understand politics nor 4chan.

Social libertarianism and socialism is the same because socialism tends to a self governing body once communism is fully instituted. This is what we have. We had a ruler put down a few arbitrary rules and then ran with it to create our own ungoverned system.

But there is no way you can say 4chan is right wing. People whobare right wing and on here are just closet homosexuals looking for an escape.

Every other thread is left wing.
