What was this article really about? Was it more than "I'd like 3000 words on 4chan and toxic masculinity by Friday, please"? There are some baffling omissions. The MRA movement/MGTOW? Gamergate? It just reads as though the writer hasn't much familiarity with the subculture.
Really?
There are two important points I think the author of this article doesn't really understand. 1. "4chan" is not a person, a club, a worldview, or even a reputation-based comment aggregator. 4chan is website with a constant, ephemeral stream of anonymous comments, and the "culture" between different boards varies quite significantly. This system makes it especially prone to misrepresentation by a media that does not un…

I noticed there was a trend, where half of the users just wanted a better world in general, and the other half were extremely violent and hateful... but that hateful half also had the worst personal stories.
One that I thought was particularly interesting, was of a guy that frequently parroted that women are evil, that noone should trust women, and so on, one day in a thread about rape he comments that he was raped, and couldn't get help at all, and that some years later he got a girlfriend, that ended raping him too, and this time when he sought help his treatment was even worse.
I think for a person that was mistreated that way, it is easy to conclude that women are just evil liars and rapists.
The thing is the guy obviously wants help, but he still fails to find it (from comments in several threads I could pick up that he sought help from police, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers... everyone treated him with hostility, or when they actually belived him, thought it was hilarious/entertaining what happened to him).

Are you seriously relating r9k and 4chan's culture to MRAs and MGTOW? Really?
It's an extremely common topic across boards
I purely visit those two places for entertainment. Sure it's a bit repetitive, but the sheer absurdity makes me laugh and that's good enough for me.
