Most boards on 4chan are designated safe for work and racism free, and will quickly earn one a global three day ban for posting pornography and gore.
This is very strictly enforced in practice, one doesn't see any nudity or gore remain up on those boards for more than ten minutes before a janitor catches it.
Pornography is allowed on all boards that aren't designated “safe for work”, but gore is only allowed on a very select few.
- ineedasername 6y agoVitriolic hate speech seems to be allowed just about everywhere. Browsing through the first three items in Technology /g/ showed me 2 instances of homophobic and 2 instances of racism. One of them hit both at the same time with "faggot [n-word]". In general I have much less of a problem with porn or gore than I do with raging hatred.
- andyxor 6y agoraging hatred is all over the news though, and pretty much gone mainstream. have you heard of BLM, it is probably the most racist vile hate movement since the KKK and it's so in vogue right now.
- matchbok 5y agoKKK: Murdered hundreds of people. BLM: "Please stop killing black people" Yup, totally the same. You're insane. Get off 4chan, champ.
- ineedasername 6y agoAre you trying to say that raging hatred on 4Chan is acceptable because raging hatred exists in other areas too? That would be a strange thing to say, but I don't know what you're getting at otherwise.
- andyxor 6y agoit's kind of strange to pay attention to a fringe internet forum when you have mainstream media, like CNN, WaPo, NBC etc broadcasting conspiracy theories on "white supremacists", "white privilege", "systemic racism", "critical race theory", and other racist divisive bs every day for years now, not to mention inciting riots and violence on the streets. Especially when they openly admit doing this for political reasons.
- ineedasername 6y agoOther media outlets aren't the topic here. If you want to talk about them, feel free to submit another post to HN. Until then, your attempts to misdirect the conversation are amateurish and obvious.
- andyxor 6y agoseems hypocritical to call 4chan majestic memes and insults hateful because their users express opinions different from yours, on the other hand spewing actual hatred and racism from mainstream outlets 24/7 is somehow ok. Indeed it's hard to compete with professional propaganda machine. may be 4chan is not for you if you don't have a sense of humor or too brainwashed to only see black and white everywhere.
