Doesn't this also mess with tactics such as being able to hear someone coming? I don't play CS:GO, but I do play Enemy Territory (id Software, 2003) and hearing when an enemy is coming is a crucial part of being able to get the fi

Though I am skeptical of the influence of Buddhism on suchva level (though I am a Buddhist myself), Buddhism does not have at its heart replacing the suppression of one emotion (anger) with another (desire), but rather the mere noticing of

If you look at the remnants of the earlier chans (created between 1 and 3 years after 4chan) which never really gained much momentum, you'll see that they had a much different culture at the time. In a way I wish we could return to thi

I agree, and in my opinion it's a sort of climb further and further down in which people decide what is offensive and not, what is acceptable or not, and they don't require evidence for it - they just legislate the problems. And i

The idea that 4chan (and similar imageboard forums) are all racist is such a tiring and false trope. It's easy to get that impression, but there are jokes and actual racism and people who are indifferent. Part of the effect is that som

I've spoken about this many times, and I'll say it again - it's a horrible violation of freedom of speech and expression to not be allowed to possess or create certain drawings. There is no law that sickens me more than the o

Diversity in viewpoints, which I agree is important, does not arise from diversity in race or gender. The celebration of diversity in race or gender seems to be just for the sake of diversity. I don't know how you would select for dive

It'll be a pick and choose situation. The UK does not care at all for ideas like freedom of expression. An example is the fact that it is illegal to draw or posses or distribute drawings depicting fictitious children engaged in sexua

This is why ephemeral identities and vanishing content shines; for example, on 4chan your post is only online for a few weeks maximum (as it's stored in a board's particular archive after it gets pushed off the end of the board).
