4chan is so full of teenage racists, incels and general dipshits that I can't help but think anyone who defends it is also a racist, incel, or generally a dipshit who hasn't graduated high school yet. Posts like the OP here are the exception, not the rule.
Yep, 4chan is the Nazi bar of the Internet, and cherry picking an example of innocent shitposting means nothing.
It had its moments, twenty years ago, but all the worthwhile anons left ages ago.
There's even a fairly famous quote from a 4channer about it.
"Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe they're in good company." -Descartes né Anon
Of course, Anon still missed the real lesson.
There are always far, far, fewer people "just joking around" than the good people in the room want to assume.
This is basically the state of the GOP these days also
Tell me you think /pol/ is the only board on 4chan without telling me you think /pol/ is the only board on 4chan...
All those racist fascists on -checks notes - /ck/ really piss me off eh
This entire thread is full of people who see nothing but the worst posts and just decide that those represent the entire site
It's kinda funny because even all the other boards on 4chan make fun of /pol/. The people that use 4chan outside of /pol/ are very aware of what goes on in that board. /x/ is the dopest board on the Internet if you like sci-fi stuff and the whole website originated around anime to begin with, so /a/ probably one of the biggest boards still.
And pedos, don't forget about the pedos.
That's mostly 8chan, 4chan doesn't have a lot of rules but no pedo shit is one of them.
Last time I went there, a while back I admit (before it became mainstream knowledge), it wasn't moderated out at all. It wasnt nudes (although didn't look very deep) but they were posting little girl and salivating.
