I appreciate what you're going for, yet I have my disagreements. This is my opinion, no need for pissy comments. So, here goes. It's the internet, with millions of sites. Can't you just IGNORE 4chan? That'd be a reasonable thing to do.

Can’t you just IGNORE the nazis?

Can’t you just IGNORE 9/11?

Can’t you just IGNORE that gaping flesh wound in your neck?

No, bad things happen when you live in ignorance. Innocent people die.

While 4chan can be considered quite small when compared to the rest of the internet (facebook, tumblr, twitter etc) that doesn’t mean they don’t have a disproportionate level of power. They’ve hacked politicians and governments, they’ve hacked major tech companies and used their technical superiority to harass normal people to the point of suicide.

It’s almost like saying the wealthiest 1% have no power over the 99%.

Racism is unacceptable, even if their numbers are apparently small. Racism is like a cancer that’s just waiting to grow uncontrollably and destroy an otherwise healthy society. The only known treatment for cancer is to identify it early and hit it hard. You need to fight it with everything you have.

4chan is the racist 1%

4chan is a racist cancer

We are the 99% and it’s time to fight this cancer.

Pretty sure some people would get offended by you comparing an internet website to the fucking holocaust and 9/11.
Mainly, the people who witnessed it and the people who had to fight wars because of it. At the moment, you are actually worse than 4chan because you’re actually serious in the comparison. Congrats, you’re even worse than the thing that you are trying to fight.

Maybe if the USA wasn’t so intolerant to Islam we would not have had 9/11

Maybe if the Nazis weren’t so intolerant to Judaism we would not have had a holocaust

I’m confident the victims of these atrocities would agree with me that we must do what we can to stop intolerance before it’s too late. It’s actually probably quite insulting to suggest that we stay ignorant.

You do know that the big difference between 4chan and the other things is that 9/11 and the holocaust lead to the deaths of many, many people.

Unless at least half a million people are killed by 4chan users, then I don’t think you should compare them.

Dude it wasn’t just “intolerance” that caused the holocaust or 9/11.

The Nazis were literally brainwashed, usually from birth, with propaganda spelling out that they were awesome and anyone who wasn’t them (Which btw weren’t just Jews. It was also Gypsies, Christians, Homosexuals, etc.). They became this way because Germany was dying and were so fucking desperate for help that they put Hitler in power, who promised to fix Germany’s problems. And, for all intensive purposes, HE DID! He was just ya know killing too many people. It wasn’t “intolerance” it was fucking desperation and extremists fighting for their country. Not every German soldier was a Nazi. Hell most of the German Army were just patriots fighting because their country needed them to do so and they needed a job.

And it wasn’t “intolerance” that caused 9/11. The Islam and Christian religions have been pitted against each other FOR CENTURIES!! And while the Christian religion says the path to salvation is through Jesus and faith, the Islam religion states that you can be rewarded for dying honorably in a war for your religion. It wasn’t “intolerance” it was extremists fighting for what they believed in. Not every Islamic follower is a terrorist.

Don’t compare a fucking Internet website to great tragedies because you’re butthurt about some fucking trolls. You are not on the same level. Don’t fucking pretend to be.

Not to mention, the entire middle east were pissed at america because we basically went in, killed a bunch of people and stole all their oil.

rosexknight

See? Greed, not intolerance. Get your fucking facts straight you piece of Internet shit.

Also, if the website did get shut down by a force of dramatic, yet ironic, fate, the people who are on the site will just move to another site. rinse and repeat.

rosexknight

Exactly! It’s useless to even try to shut down this site. If anything you just need to try and make them get more/better moderators for when someone is being bullied or something.

As soon as you make a valid point and point out how pointless their quest is backed up with facts and logic, they ignore the post.

rosexknight

It’s because they don’t understand. They just want a cause to fight for and a flag to wave. And the gratification and attention of people being behind them.

Just like Down With Molestia.

I’m going to be generous and give your posts some air time because you’re complaining about being ignored.

It’s not that anyone is afraid of you or that you’re secretly right, it’s the fact that reposting your incorrect drivel is wasteful and irritating for everyone to scroll through over-and-over again. Apologies to everyone who had to see all this again.

I have confidence that what I’m doing is right and I’m the type of person who will readily admit when they’re wrong. So please, feel free to pat yourselves on the back because you feel ignored and need an ego-boost.

Oh. My. God….

I haven’t laughed like this in a long time.

I’ve seen this kind of speech before. Ignoring valid points and dismissing them as “drivel” by people who just want attention. You sound just like freelancerraiko!

A person who firmly believes he’s right, and treats anyone except people who agree with them as lesser. He even uses the same kind of condescending speech that you just used. Long story short, he is a terrible person that everyone hates and yet he is so deluded that he believes everyone against him are just kids or trolls looking for attention.Listen, I don’t need you to get attention. Hell, the picture I drew of sombra and dissy has gotten more attention than this. That means, I  am

A) doing this for the lulz

or

B) Pointing out flaws in your logic to protect people who are too gullible for their own good.

I will give you a hint, It’s not the former of the two.

Because if you drag innocent people into this, there will be casualties. Not physical of course but people will get hurt. And it will be all your fault. Can you really live with  that? Knowing you made innocent people a target for people like who DO hurt people for the lulz? I’m not saying all of 4chan does this but there are a few bad people on the internet. And if you get noticed by the whole website, the every person supporting you will become a target for those few people. Hell, there are people on tumblr who will hurt you just because of how ignorant you are. People one facebook who would find out where you live and litterally send shit to your front door if they heard of you. People on yourube who will announce what street you’re on, the first three digits of your social security and your first name if they knew about this. And they would do this to every supporter you have, because NEWSFLASH, it’s not just 4chan that has bad people. It’s the entire internet. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. And unless you plan on ending the entire internet, you are just a zit on the ass of the smallest microbe in the universe.

Sorry followers for leaving such a long message.
