- daemoens 3y agoI think it’s more like that these boards attract a specific type of person, not people in general. People generally don’t like racists because they’re also generally awful people as well. That’s why they’re banned off of most of the internet and the real world.
- pseudonym0us 3y ago>People generally don’t like racists because they’re also generally awful people as well Can't resonate. In my part of the world, people are generally racist.
- daemoens 3y agoThe way online racists act is very different from general racism irl. It’s a much more hateful form and seems a bit more all over the place. They won’t just hate one ethnic group, they’ll hate everything and everyone that isn’t exactly like them.

- daemoens 3y agoMost people are either pleasant or neutral irl. There are no consequences for what you say online so people tend to be their worst on the internet. If people were generally awful, we wouldn't have any form of society anywhere in the world.
