4chan as a whole isn't racist. 4chan is just honest and unfiltered. Honest discussion is pretty much impossible on any other mainstream web platform. Websites like hacker news are heavily moderated to "stay clean" and then we got reddit, a dystopian wholesome echo chamber.
By the way: Pretty much every other 4chan user is looking down on /pol users. They don't trust /pol, because they realized it's indeed inhabited by the bad kind of racists and generally heavily biased people.
- swiley 6y agoI've poked my head in from time to time and definitely have noticed the patterns in TFA. weather this is the result of a shift in English speaking culture or the acts of malicious moderators though I can't say. Then again, maybe it was always like this and the older nasty ideas get ignored because "that's just 4chan." I think their data on that is pretty interesting.
- sudosysgen 6y ago/pol/ and /b/ are now a majority of 4chan. It's going to take a few more months/years but 4chan is well on the way to become /pol/: the website.
- ehmish 6y agoYeah but pol swings between being full if edgy leftists and edgy rightists
- sudosysgen 6y agoYeah I haven't seen a leftist in /pol/ since the bunkerchan raids. At most, you have people that are barely liberals.
