A quick correction: all articles that I've seen mentioning "4chan" actually mean "/b/."
Sure, the board is huge and by far the most famous, but it's not even responsible for the majority of the site traffic. There are dozens of different boards and, with very few exceptions, they are mostly sane.
I bet the people who write those articles don't even know about the literature and science boards that are just like any other forum, but without the user names. But I guess that cooking, animals and fitness don't bring enough pageviews to be mentioned.
- hugh3 16y agoY'know, I wasn't aware that there was a science section on 4chan, so I decided to check it out. At this very moment the front page of it is: 1. Someone comparing black people to chimpanzees 2. "Hey /sci/, in the future, will we be able to use stemcells and nanobots to turn into IRL furries?!" with a picture of a furry 3. Something about how we should get more science funding by convincing everybody that an immensely fuckable race of space babes lives at Alpha Centauri 4. "I am thinking of growing a beard. Will it improve my science?" 5. An atheists-vs-Christians flamewar (or an attempt to start one, I don't know whether any Christians actually showed up) And so forth. I wouldn't say "mostly sane". On the other hand you could probably call it relatively sane.
