Knew a guy for a while, one of those types who loves to say “most of 4chan isn’t bad, it’s only /b/ and /pol/, here look at this funny meme they made” I rolled my eyes whenever he said something like this but figured he was just in denial.
Then one day I mentioned to him that I cut contact with someone for defending drawn CSAM, explaining that I did it because it’s used to groom minors and accustom them to being sexualized, and his response was “I don’t care, it’s the parents’ responsibility to protect the kids, there should be no legal or moral barrier to what people draw”
Anyone who browses or defends 4chan is a fascist, a pedophile, or most likely both. Every interaction I’ve had with them only gave me further proof.
4chan used to be good, then the first post was made and it was all downhill from there.
Any place where someone can call me multiple slurs because i dont like the same video game as them is a bad place
Careful, there’s a sizable pocket of leftists online who’ll accuse you of being a tyrannical purist for even daring to imply that drawn CSAM is fucked up.
I’m a leftist, I have to draw sexual content to pay the bills. I’ve never accepted a commission for something like that. I would rather go hungry than draw something like that. No idea how a “leftist” would ever defend such a thing.
Still wild to me how Q came from all of this, saving the children yelled out by pedophiles.
Pedophilia is when you murder babies in Satanic rituals OR when you teach kids about gender. They don’t consider CSAM to be pedophilia.
US right-wing politics has a real 4chan vibe to it these days, it’s been weird to watch 4chan ideas and vernacular become mainstream
I believe the fundamental divide in American politics today can be boiled down to 4chan vs. reddit
4chan vs. reddit
and just like republicans vs. democrats they’re not as different as they’re made out to be
I think Redditors would be full mask-off if their usernames were anonymous like on 4chan. Not all that different, but Reddit feels more “Polite” than 4chan.
