4chan circa 2004-2013 is very much not 4chan in 2023. The site does not influence as much as it is influenced at this stage, you see memes cooked up on telegram and twitter which then filter back to 4chan, this backflow would've been u

I challenge you to read /b/ for half an hour and maintain this devil's advocate position. It is absolutely a sewer.

4chan's fastest board is currently covered in swastikas, the n-word, cartoon pictures of trans people hanging themselves and "Chinese gore" threads, I'm going to have to disagree with the WaPo/NYT comment sections c

I followed the link and I only found a hateful twitter thread, in which the thread author referred to trans people as "depraved"? Did you mean to link something else? The comments shared aren't at all insightful, that's

I think it's less obvious because you brought them up without context. Not going to walk back that accusation that I'm a liar, now you know that you were talking about something else?

I mean, surely you have a single example of someone you can say is definitively doing this?

For kids, it does indeed never happen. You cannot say "children are being mutilated" and then quietly redefine late teens into being children. > And yes, some of them are regretting that when they grow up. Some of them are even

"Being transitioned" removes agency from people who fight for years for this. You have been shown across this thread that vanishingly few even gain access to any kind of medical support until their late teens and still you insist

Hormone blockers suppress the expression of estrogen and testosterone, I was very clearly referring to hormone replacement therapy. Moral of the story is, people aren't lying just because you refuse to read the words written literally

Provide the evidence, you'll quickly find that it doesn't support the claim. No children (prepubescent) are given surgeries, a tiny minority of 16 year olds are able to receive top surgeries but the vast majority can't even g

Tavistock also were not performing surgeries on children. Trans people often don't even receive hormones until they're 16, I don't know how this idea that they're receiving surgery on a whim makes any sense to anyone.

In this case it's fake AND I dislike it :) Thankfully, both can be true. Feel free to peruse the long cited list of occasions in which Chaya Raichik outright lied on libsoftiktok, it's in their wikipedia article which reads as one

Sure, they do have a problem. This thread is just horribly ignorant about those problems and we're lumping unlike groups together because to us they are like, that is what I'm arguing against.

It isn't totally shocking that someone who's made it their life's work to repeatedly try (and then fail) to replace Wikipedia would be sour about Wikipedia. I also don't as a matter of course trust the opinions of people

Hikikomori are severely isolated people who basically represent Japan's analogue to homelessness. These people leave their rooms seldom and their houses never. Herbivore men and hikikomori are very much not the same. To say they are is

If by "that account" (???) you mean the charity investigating right wing extremism in the USA then sure but I think that's a pretty sad response all in all. > I’ll trust my eyes over what’s written in Wikipedia. Wikipedia

FYI this is a pretty condescending response to come back to. From the site guidelines: > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Do we condemn them in private equally? I don't. I'm not sure why you'd think that everyone shares your point of view. If you're part of a marginalized group you are the outgroup everywhere you go, all the time. Wanting a
