I don't think this is true. If we could somehow compile a list of all the people 4chan has attacked over the years I'd bet we'd see equal opportunity trolling.

What was that incident a while back, where the "security expert" offered a reward for breaking into his site? 4chan took up the offer, succeeded, and trolled the guy relentlessly. Death threats, photoshops, you name it. And he was a _male_ in a male-dominated field.
The fact is the Internet just isn't a nice place a lot of the time.
- aplusbi 14y agoMen don't get rape threats from women, I think is the key take-away. I'm sure you can find an example of it happening but it's not a regular occurrence.
- obstacle1 14y agoI don't agres with you, but I'll grant it. So let's say that men don't get rape threats. Are rape threats inherently more worthy of our scorn than murder threats?
- aplusbi 14y agoNo, but they are different. And women get murder threats as well. Additionally most things posted on the internet by a man is simply a post on the internet. Anything posted on the internet is a post by a woman on the internet.
