4chan has turned into a very ugly place. The communities are now so polarized that it's almost impossible to engage in any kind of conversation without the thread dissolving into mindless shit-flinging. If you don't lower yourself to injecting "ironic" shit-eating pedophile vernacular and acronyms into everything, your threads are swallowed up and spat out. If you don't absolve yourself of any one stance on any one issue, you're shouted down by hollow contrarians.
I used to love this place, but now it just makes me miserable.Which is a shame, since it's the only website I frequent.
Aww come on, lighten up. Stir some chaos.
C. G. Jung says: the masses are breeding grounds of psychic illnesses.
So what you're saying is the internet is a horrible place.
Come New Years, I'm officially done with this shithole.
We could all migrate to Alexa.com

Please do, fucking stupid roastie
Reddit is literally worse for discussion
When real discussions start happening, this place has those polarizing faggots who make blanket statements, but about 10 people from each side come in to bridge the gap and make decent arguments.
>>25182595
Reading comprehension. What does feeler mean? There are no women on this board.
>>25182613
Nah frendo reddit is better.
Not all subreddits are downvote to oblivion.
>>25182418
Don't worry you aren't the only one you peekaboo. Been feeling this way for over a year. I get off now on getting reactions out of people because of this.
This is one of the biggest problems that wizchan has with this place.
Go there if you want to get away from this sort of thing.
>>25182648
Reddit mostly sticks to one bias, and when it doesn't it only likes the low pandering/ long paragraph "if you read this you are part of the smart club!!!" shit, that usually ends on the "it's ok to disagree :)" note where no real conclusions/ holes are filled in.
There is no middle ground; people only feel the need to upvote "lel memekek" references or polarizing arguments that support their most convenient ideologies.
Mixed in with the fact that everyone is just a bunch of idiots trying to act smart. On here you get a mixed bag, but it sure as hell beats "pure shit" any day.
Am I the only one who loves 4chan the way it is? It's more entertaining than most other things in life that's why I go here so much. I also have good discussions with people sometimes. Maybe I am just blind to why it's bad but I just can't see what is so wrong with this place.
Been here nine years. I'm tired of the racism and the hate. Sure, it can occasionally lead to a funny joke, but most of the time it just winds up juvenile at best and genuinely worrying at worst. This entire fucking website's culture is a big bad joke that's gotten completely out of hand. Nobody gets that it all used to be ironic, that we were all stupid teenagers and should know better by now.
I hate it here. I quietly post on /tg/ and that's it. /r9k/ used to be hilarious; now it seems like the go-to place for wannabe rapists and eventual spree shooters.
Tumblr is better. This place is dead to me, and I'll stop coming here soon enough.
>>25183542
I feel like I missed a fucking generation
I'm browsing wizchan right now and holy shit it feels like home, despite being 20
>>25182807
This is partly true, you gotta find the smaller subs. But fuck me if most subs are not awful. And the whole site is biased as hell to SJW shit.
The only thing that bugs me about 4chan is that people that legit believe misinformation and post it as fact, but that happens everywhere on the internet.
>>25182807
This is the result of a voting system, even 4chan would be infected in less than a hour if you gave it one.
>>25182522
shit man. where DO we go?
>>25182520
he's right though senpai. old 4chan was better, back when reddit was too afraid to come here.
This board got 10x worse when you faggots decided to let reddit and tumblr normal shits post here freely. Fuck you all
>>25183867
this. consider this an upvote :^)
been here for years
its always been like this
>>25182418
oy mate you sound like a ragging faggot
>see me irl: pro tip; you can't
>go to /mu/ about a couple of months ago
>thread made by some negro normie about how To Pimp a Butterfly made him feel proud of being black and that white pride is evil
>Anthony Fantano thread legitimately talking about how he is a racist
>other dumb leftist shit
>pretty much /sjw/ the board now
I'm not even right wing or what ever but that shit just sucks. I loved /mu/ so much
I know a lot of people from reddit and tumblr use 4chan now, but I didn't really
TYPE MOON!!
>>25183996
*I know a lot of people from reddit and tumblr use 4chan now, but I didn't really expect it to be this bad
>If you don't absolve yourself of any one stance on any one issue, you're shouted down by hollow contrarians.
That's all I needed to hear to know you're a useless "le centrist". You don't add anything to any conversation. You only shit them up by spewing meaningless drivel and act like it's "profound".
>>25183848
>And the whole site is biased as hell to SJW
false
this SJW shit is not nearly as big of a threat as so many people make it out to be. It's painted in this "us vs. them" mentality
what the fuck, no
They are a small minority of fucking idiots. Just like legit racists, they shouldn't be taken seriously.
It's just an easy thing to contend since the SJW is riddled with flawed logic. It's the punching bag of reddit- to the point where they literally upvote ragebait trolls posing as SJWs.
At least here even though there's a big hatred towards SJWs, as soon as some legitimate topics emerge that may be nuggets of truth, a productive discussion begins to fester around it.
Meanwhile on reddit, the bottom lurkers at the ends of pages are the ones seeking validation for their polarized retarded view, and downvote your ass.
>>25183542
How much has 4chan changed? As an old fag please tell us. I'm curious to hear of 2004-2006 4chan
>>25183996
I also dont remeber all this race bait shit. Ive been here awhile and ive never seen so much "black cock belongs in white pussy xD"
>>25184035
> Just like legit racists, they shouldn't be taken seriously.
Nigger detected. Did someone point out your lower IQ for your feelings to get hurt?
I don't like 4chan, I don't like reddit. Where the fuck am I meant to go?
Eh, you're on the wrong boards OP. some boards can still maintain discussion but they're the slower boards. anything really big and popular is just shitflinging.
>>25184106
Outside, you pathetic faggot.
>>25184106
Off the internet.
No really, I dislike both places. I think I'm going to get off the internet.
>>25184106
>>25182522
>>25183877
nowhere... we're stuck here forever remember?
>>25184119
The boards that can maintain a discussion are painfully slow. Sometimes threads last for months.
theres more than one r9k
>>25184198
The one on infinite-chan is just is shit as this one, wizzardchan is pretty shit too. The internet is to accessible now, and everyone and there mom has this "ebin xddd trolled attitude"
>>25184035
You've a decent grasp of Reddit discussion, but you're SJW as fuck if you think all of reddit (apart from TiA, CA, safe space subs like that) isn't biased towards Social Justice.
reddit is full of libtards
>>25184101
Racism is fucking pleb tier tribal shit. You're letting the most pathetic/ beta genes in your mind go apeshit.
"OH NO, DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT"
"OH NO, THEY ARE FUCKING OUR WOMEN WITH THEIR SUPERIOR DICKS!!!"
"THEY SCARE ME SO MUCH, PLEASE SEPARATE THEM FROM OUR SOCIETY!!!"
grew up with friends from all races, also had encounters with those wannabe thug niggers. All your fucking graphs and charts are memes. I've had firsthand experience with them and they are literally the fucking same as us.
Go waste your energy showing your charts on reddit/ tumblr you fucking kuck faggot.
>>25184378
Do you read the comments?
The only SJW shit you see are from the fucking power hungry admins/ mods from very particular boards.
Naturally the types of people that are put into those positions feel like they have to create authoritarian control on how people feel/ limit their reactions or how badly they can get offended.
If you read the comments anywhere/ look at the fucking posts, everyone is flapping their wrists at the SJW boogieman.
>>25184454
This is absolutely right. Although I doubt many of the racists are actually serious.
>>25182418
4chan has always been a mirror of society. People are polarized and resort to mindless shit-flinging everywhere, including the real world. Have you seen our media? Society is fundamentally broken right now, and there is a lot of hate and misery floating around. Back in the old days when people got this miserable and angry they started killing each other, and got over it, but we're too fat lazy and apathetic to do that these days.
>>25182418
Literally HOW can you be shouted down on a fucking Hokaido Rap Lyric Trading Forum?
>>25184582
Hokkaido*
>>25184528
There's even more people calling those people out.
>>25184528
This. I occasionally troll r/relationships to get a rise out of people, and I see this sort of thing in the comments constantly. The second anyone even remotely resembling an SJW rears its ugly head the resulting pushback is overwhelming.
I have to agree though. Reddit does have a slight SJW bias due to it's demographic overlap with tumblr.
So... where DO we go? I mean if we're just going to argue about reddit then i mean, it's not doing much.
>>25184700
I'm not even gonna try to come off as less of a leddit fag, I spend 4 - 9 hours a day on that shithole.
The SJW boogeyman stuff happens quite a bit, and only looking at mentions of SJW on the site you're right. However, highly voted comments are very often "Reddit doesn't know what feminism is" or something to the effect of "reddit = 18 y.o white boys, no perspective"
>>25184792
But that self loathing is a means of getting ahead/ acting smart.
You can bet your ass that 18 y.o. white boys upvote the shit out of that, just to have a leg up over all the other 18 y.o. white bois who also browse reddit.
It's contrarian while at the same time seeking that sweet sweet validation; people that allow bandwagoners with their fucking superiority complex are the ones that rake in the upvotes/ get on top, ALWAYS.
It's a giant bias circlejerking shithole. (at least the defaults and /r/all)
>>25184454
>MUH ANECDOTES ARE BETTER THAN STATS
Literally reddit-tier. But people like yourself pride themselves on being blindly accepting of anything, huh?
>>25184454
>>25184559
I think sexism is more rooted in reality, simply because there are more psychological/biological differences between men and woman than there is white man and a black man.
>>25184855
Definitely, it's derailing bullshit that gets tossed out whenever it's tangentially related.
But even Cringe Anarchy gets that way, and they're non-SJW & below 70k subs. It's inherent in the voting system / population.
>>25184924
Almost everyone here either grew up in homogeneous neighborhoods/ had all white friends and associates.
Maybe one bad run in with a loud nigger- as if they've actually ever seen/ legitimately met a black person in their lives.
My anecdotes are enough to know that nearly all of the racism here is just misguided reactions to fears/ feelings of inadequacy/ paranoia. That, or parody. Or a mix.
It's fucking stupid; same shit as "all men are rapists"- you know how fucking dumb it is to start basing your opinions on shit without taking individualism into account.
