Can you be more specific? What are you talking about?

I don't think there is any SJW on 2chan. It's pretty much as trash as 4chan.

#6Well, that's an interesting development. I didn't see it coming, but in hindsight, Nishimura is perfect.
I thought moot already signed over ownership to a board of people though... I guess it was just the management he handed over.

#7Hiroyuki Nishimura the previous administrator of 2ch.net sold the user data of 2channel users and he was fired by Jim, who happens to be the host of 8ch.net.
Sweet sweet irony.

A lot of 4chan users got upset when moot banned gamergate, the thinly-disguised harassment campaign.
Since gamergate characterises any opposition to it whatsoever as being from 'SJWs', 4chan mods are thus 'SJWs'.

#9Note that 2channel's URL is not 2chan.net, but 2ch.net, and it's a text-only site. It is more commonly known as "2ch". It's interesting to see that both 2ch/2chan have not really changed since they were created, whereas 4chan went through quite a bit of "modernising". I wonder if 4chan might start turning back to a 2ch/2chan-ish style with this.
