Meh, be racist in an on-the-nose and obviously dumb way, like 4chan is doing here (whether intentional or not), and you get the opposite result: You make racist

In the end some will think it's satire, some won't but will still laugh because it's stupid, and some will get mad.
Actual racists lost, 4chan got a laugh, and outrage culture got played again.
- nmarinov 3y ago>you get the opposite result: You make racists look bad. In general I find myself agreeing with your comments in this thread but here I disagree. It's tempting to find the overall societal benefit from those actions but I don't think there is one. Or it's much more subtle than this. I also think that it's mainly done to create chaos and get a reaction and not so much to spread x opinions. But just randomly throwing shit into the world *mostly* makes everyone get used to the smell of shit while they hate you for it. But in my experience it *usually* leads to more shit and not less shit.
- lamontcg 3y ago> and you get the opposite result: You make racists look bad. doubt it. won't change the beliefs of anyone looking at it one way or another. the people participating in it, though, after years of spewing out racist garbage risk without any self-reflection risk going down the spiral of "hey, this one actually makes a valid point". and i suspect that most of them are just flat out racist and not just memeing for the lulz.
