Things are heating up in the secret santa threads. The anti-Rich fags set up a discord and the leader of the group revealed he's bisexual with a boyfriend. How will the incel robots respond to this revelation? Mods came in earlier and swept the place clean, or rather deleted a handful of posts which explained how to ruin people's fun. Rich fags were active at the time and not banned, could /r9k/'s janitors and moderators agree with the Rich fags?

The story deepens!
This is playing out like the world's most autistic Shakespearean stage play.

I love the internet.
 
I don't know if this is real or not

I had to sort through an uncomfortable amount of gay porn on yandex to make sure this wasn't obviously fake.

Here's an edited version for the squeemish/straight

What bothers me about much of 4chins (mainly /v/, /co/, and /tv/) is that they seem to be under the impression that the only way to combat leftist hugboxes like ERA and Escapist is by creating a rightwing hugbox, where anything that doesn't treat niggers as retarded animals or women as sentient blow up dolls is immediately greeted with screeches of "ESSSSS JAAAAAAAY DUBBOOOOLYOOOO". Like, we get it, you like wearing kek shirts and strangling your moms for telling you to do algebra, calm down nigga.

I honestly don't think it's that bad on the cartoon side of /co/. Comics, sure. They're justified in it whenever another exceptional artist comes out with a very thinly veiled take on the Orange Man (tm), but it can as easily spill over to legitimate takes on non-male/non-white superheroes (or just comic book characters). I have no idea what goes on at /v/ and /tv/ is shitposting central anyway, so I don't take anything there seriously. But as far as other boards not called /pol/ go, I wouldn't say it's as popular anymore to be so aggressively right-wing. I'll always remember that one anon who said how he believes the great majority of people on 4chan understand and support /pol/-like rhetoric, or at least parts of it, but because it's spammed so much on every single board on the site (maybe not even by /pol/ itself; I'm certain a lot of it is just lazy, but effective bait fishing for (You)s), the backlash is also severe and of great annoyance. People have gotten tired of the constant negativety and just want to watch their animes/cartoons/movies/shows and play vidya without going too deep into an irrelevant part of its plotline that may or may not be a reference to Trump.

I saw some guy on /v/ flip his shit because Tawna punched a guard in the Crash HD intro instead of being 100% docile, even though she was still taken down by an army of Crash's equivalent of goombas anyway. How is she a feminist hero when she still loses to the weakest enemies?

No /co/ is terrible for entirely different reasons.

Seriously though, 4chan or something like it will survive. There will always be a wild west segment of the internet. It's just too big and decentralized for anything else, no matter how hard they try.

So, I don't follow drama too closely but what happened to /v/? Threads used to fall off the board in fifteen minutes, now it seems like they all stick around for the whole day. Was there a massive population decline over the past two years or something?

Most boards are like that. Even on a formerly super busy board like /v/ idle threads last a day. On slower boards, it's like 8chan and threads just hang around for weeks. Threads still scroll off fairly fast on /b/ and /pol/ although they're nearly 100% cancer and just the same shit over and over again, to a greater extent than they even used to be.

4chan is not just dying, but nearly dead.

I just watched the bottom of the /v/ catalog and threads got archived in 15 minutes like always, and speaking anecdotally it seems as fast as when I first started browsing. If idle threads are staying up on /v/ for a day it's because the site got frozen, which has been happening quite a bit recently.

Calling you a stupid faggot and posting memes at you isn't creating a hugbox, if left leaning people were banned then this argument would hold water. But basically you're making the same argument that libs do that allowing other people to speak is the same as suppressing theirs.

That's 4chan way of self-moderation though. You can't expect 4chan mods to do anything.

Also stop bringing politics into fucking everything like the SJWs.
/tv/ doesn't need ten threads about how some Disney trash is too woke.
You can't even properly discuss one of the best movies in recent years (Fury Road) without tons of retards screaming about how "feminist" it is.

I'm sorry I'm not a spastic faggot who'd rather just watch a good shitshow rather than sucking off god emperor. I don't give a shit how 4chan moderates themselves, I'm not forcing themselves to censor people, I'm just calling many of its users spergy idiots

A bunch of people calling you a cuck is the opposite of self moderation.
How so? Unwanted content gets derailed and screamed down. It is very much a form of moderation.

There's a strong presence of libs on all of the non-/pol/ boards screaming "go back to /pol/" every time someone says nigger.
No one will tell you to go back to /pol/ for using the word nigger, you double nigger.
But people will tell you it when you go on about a rant about how the Jewish controlled nigger armies are raping white women in a thread about people's favourite Stargate episode.

Because no one is preventing your posts from being seen, disagreeing with you on an imageboard isn't shouting down, and if you don't like a thread topic, just don't bump it. Replying to bait posts is the biggest problem 4chan has IMO. Just hide the thread. If anything, replying to your post calling you a faggot/kike/cuck/sjw gives you more visibility, not less.

Yes they will lmao.
