How do you guys feel about how website has boards like LGBT and HM?
>>65984487
containment boards, necessary
As long as they keep to their boards and we keep to ours, we're all good
>>65984542
>containment boards, necessary
Yep, same with this board. Only the hidden boards are worth browsing desu
>>65984487
Have you been here before those boards existed? Or before /mlp/ existed? They are an absolute necesity.
>>65984487
Being mentaly ill isn't illegal.
>>65984487
On the internet you are always few clicks away from degeneracy. Why does it matter that these boards happen to be in the same website?
>>65984932
I was here when /new/ was here before /pol/.
>>65985045
then why'd you make this fucking thread? anyone who's been here that long should know why those boards exist
>>65984781
only /trash/ is hidden
>>65984542
The unfortunate reality is that these boards create 'safe spaces' for degenerate maladaptive liberal shitposters. If those boards were deleted, the fags wouldn't spill over onto other boards, they would simply leave the site
>>65984932
The white man is right.
They are like consentration boards.
>>65984487
>>65984487
4chan is a good format because of the way it doesn't restrain speech. I'm sure most of the users don't like all of the content, but that's not really a bad thing.

>only /trash/ is hidden
>>65984487
Perfectly reasonable for a far-left website distributing child pornography to terrorists
>>65984487
I'm a handsome man :^)
I want /l/ back
>>65984648
hate to break it to you, m8. But when we are done fapping to dick porn we come here to shitpost about the god emperor.
>>65984487
Hows about you fuck off newfag
>>65984487
I don't care, they are containment boards. Besides I don't give a fuck about gays as long as it isn't being shoved down my throat, it's a complete non issue imo. Besides I've lurked /lgbt/ for the bants and they seem like on of the more redpilled boards to me, and by that I mean kekservative.
>>65984487
Fuck off cunt
>>65985478
>If those boards were deleted, the fags wouldn't spill over onto other boards, they would simply leave the site
Wanna bet? ;)
>>65987447
Yes. Liberal/reddit shitposting and agenda pushing wasn't a problem 4+ years ago. Creating this boards literally encourages fags and limp leftists to migrate to this site. What don't you understand about that?
>>65987663
>Liberal/reddit shitposting and agenda pushing wasn't a problem 4+ years ago
Your candy-coated history is a lie and 4chan's liberals aren't going anywhere.
>>65987885
>Your candy-coated history is a lie
No, no it isn't. Go on any gateway board to this site and it's worse than ever. The change in the demographics of 4chan in the last 5 years has been huge.
>>65984487
Why the fuck would we care.

How new are you? Those boards all started with /y/. They were made to keep content in boards actually relevant to the board subject. /hm/ was born from real porn being pruned from /y/. /lgbt/ came as a sfw gay board. (creation order is probably not right, but its still the jist of it.)
>>65988054
>5 years
>old teens/young adults spend less time shitposting as they grow and do productive shit
>next generation starts shitposting
How new are you? This has been a thing since the beginning.
>>65988182
The HIGH ENERGY from last night was too much for me. I had to release it or my degeneracy would have exploded, turning me into a rainbow faerie pride parade faggot. Lesser of two evils
>>65988371
>actually believing this.
The site lost its edginess long ago, and when it began to gain a lot of wider exposure ~2010 the redditors and tumblrtots came flooding in
>>65988618
4chan was never some secret club. It's changed but only marginally but the same could be said of any online communities, public opinion changes.
>>65988371
>old teens/young adults spend less time doing productive shit and shitpost more as they grow
FTFY, grandpa
>>65985257
I didn't ask why those board exist retard. I asked how you felt about them.
>>65985342
Nope. Use this method to access the hidden boards
>>65988618
The sites "edginess" is the same as it always has been: counter-popculture, shitposting, and trolling.
I've been coming to this sight for years. Not an oldfag by any means, but in 2008 the same shit you are saying was being said.
Came back around 2011, everything is the same.
Came back around 2013, everything is the same.
And now I am here now. It is the fucking same 4chan.
Denying this is just you holding on to the nostalgic memories of edginess you saw when you first came.
The normal redditor or tumblrfag comes here and can't handle the bantz so they leave and spread the 4chan nazi meme around the rest of the sites.
>>65989428
Like this guy said. Before reddit, it was 4chan. There was never a secret club. 2010 was a surge in popularity was also around the time of an increase in internet users as a whole, so of course 4chan gets exposure as well.
TL;DR 4chan was always shit, will always be shit. And thats why we love it.
>>65984487
I'm still annoyed /lgbt/ isn't /fag/
>>65989475
GET OFF MY LAWN.
>mfw you are right
>>65988618
it grew up with its audience while still accomodating new shitposters.
hell, i first came to 4chan in 2007 and there was already a meme for people like you
>remember when /b/ used to be good?
/b/ was never any good
there's roman graffiti in Pompeii how today's (first century AD that is) youth is so much worse than the last generation, how all they do is fuck things up and change everything for the worse and how in just a few years all human culture will be destroyed.
in that sense you're doing something very human. it's still wrong though. 4chan is not the same, i'll give you that. but i still think it keeps getting better and better.
>implying being thread-b& for a month just on a mod's whim was better
>implying constant cp spam was better
>implying endless image combos due to no post-timers were better
>implying constant downtimes and crawlingly slow speeds were better
>implying barebones posts were better than today's nifty native extension
>implying a bunch of perma-virgin basement-dwelling neckbeards circlejerking were better than today's diverse cross-section of society (and i used to be one of the former)
>B-b-but MUH NOSTALGIA!!!
-.-
>>65984781
not really. and there's not many left either. i was sad to find out that /z/ is now just a 404. well, there's always the elite circle of /j/ at least...
>>65989653
what is the point of that it blocks 4chin
>>65989653
yeah system32...nice trolling will probably shut down the pc or some other troll shit.Hes right only /trash/ is hidden.
>>65984487
That's what it actually means to be tolerant. Not the reddit-version of ""tolerant"" nor the tumblr-version of """"tolerant"""" but actually tolerating different kinds of people. Literally the website of love and peace.
>>65990487
>>65990562
Shh don't spoil the surprise.
Shit reminds me of the gentoo infograph on /g/. Is that still a thing?
>>65990562
>only /trash/ is hidden.
That's not true.
>>>/qa/ for example is hidden as well.
