That's like saying the internet is associated with illegal drug distribution because sometimes people buy drugs over it. It's true, but not representative. That's not how most reasonable people would summarize it.
- michaelt 9y agoThat's not how most reasonable people would summarize it. Only because a reasonable person would choose a more subjective statement, to convey the full breadth of depravity a visitor could expect to find on 4chan. I mean, you've also got the gore pics, the incitements to racial and political violence, the fucked-up hentai, the homophobia, the raids on children's games, and the incessant insistence that everyone kill themselves.

And they take it too far somewhat frequently. But maybe people at your middle school were more mature than at mine, and never tried to gross each other out by tricking them into checking out this really cool site called goatse.
