I don't have anything to say about people that uses a slurs against themselves because that isn't what I saw in 4Chan. It was someone calling other people "Archfags" as an insult, and each of the other examples I cited were used as insults. I've checked /g/ a few times since I posted my original comment to see if it was a fluke, but nope: Still lots of racial & homophobic insults. So let's break it down: 1) A person…

It doesn't matter how they claim it's being used. It's a slur. The user of the slur doesn't get to decide who's offended by it. It's an offensive term just like the N word.

Perhaps it is, but that's a completely argument than the one proffered by the user I was responding to.

I'm refuting those claims, which are falsifiable, your claims are not and are merely a moral axiom such as “Stealing is bad.” which entail no factual, falsifiable component.

The 'inaccessible cult.' is about the structure of the board. First time you go there is a Chaotic mess that feels you went back to 90's. Then in shock you start to see the subs like /pol/ then you click and bam More chaos. Threads and threads you are more lost. Then you click catalog and set order Reply-by-count. Then it does start to make sense. You read people talking in two ways. On the text and on the image atta…

I made it to the site finally and but I got wrecked by step 2. Where is /pol? There is no politics section listed under Boards except "Politically Incorrect" which can't be what you mean as I was immediately hit with the full n-word and wish I had used an incognito browser... Do many HN users actually frequent this website or should I be reinstalling my OS right about now??

I promise I mean no disrespect with the following, so I'll preemptively apologize if you're offended.

oh my it's like watching a baby taking the first steps.

Subcultures have shibboleths. In the same way WallStreetBets wasn't making fun of the mentally handicapped, it would be dangerous to take any chan at face value. Shibboleths exist to exclude people outside the subculture stereotype - and a good way of doing that is to be offensive. Some subcultures desire to remain as subcultures. Part of why shibboleths work is because we as a species tend to stop engaging rationall…

> The 4chan shibboleth attacks everyone I see plenty of posts attacking and calling for the killing and complete extermination of non-Whites, Jews, homosexuals, and women all over the place but 0 posts attacking straight white males for being straight white males. Gee, I wonder why that is? I really wonder who is posting all these white nationalist talking points, it's truly a mystery. Could be anyone.

> 0 posts attacking straight white males for being straight white males. Gee, I wonder why that is?

Because that's already done on Twitter; it would be quite boring to pretend that it's something taboo.

raging hatred is all over the news though, and pretty much gone mainstream. have you heard of BLM, it is probably the most racist vile hate movement since the KKK and it's so in vogue right now.

Are you trying to say that raging hatred on 4Chan is acceptable because raging hatred exists in other areas too? That would be a strange thing to say, but I don't know what you're getting at otherwise.

Are you saying Andyxor is using whataboutism?

>1) A person is being insulted You got this wrong, it's not an insult. Somethingfag such as "oldfag", "newfag", "Archfag", etc. are not insults whatsoever. They're shibboleth terms for "old users", "new users", "Arch users". Your entire premise is incorrect. >2) The language of the insult is a comparison to another group of people.

People [who don’t get it] are being insulted to some degree. Just indirectly. If these words didn’t have their actual background of meanings, they wouldn’t be used.

I don’t agree with people getting too insulted by any of this. It’s not edgy. It’s corny and part of the gate keeping. Both sides don’t get it at times. At least when the using side seriously thinks there’s nothing wrong at all, ever, with the usage. Again, I don’t think the word usage matters at all. I was once a “/b/tard”.

The extremes of saying it’s so bad or saying there’s nothing wrong at all in any way shape or form are both incorrect.

The policy of a police department does not supercede the law.

according to the law use of force by police is authorized when effecting a lawful arrest. this case will go to appeal and possibly the supreme court, as there was significant interference with the jury by the media, and even US representatives calling for violence on the streets to intimidate the jurors.

Somehow, millions of policemen across the world are able to understand "use of force" in a different way than kneeling on someone's neck. The murder-cop himself was probably able to understand it differently on a different day.

>It doesn't matter how they claim it's being used.

Except it does. You're going into a community and projecting your sense of what is and is not offensive. They don't find it offensive or see it as a slur, you do. You're seeking their community out, they're not coming to your home and calling you an "Archfag".

>The user of the slur doesn't get to decide who's offended by it.

Of course, because offense is taken, not given. No one said otherwise.

>It's an offensive term just like the N word.

It's not offensive if you're Black and you use it in the Black community. Exactly the same as a 4channer using "-fag" its usage not being offensive in the 4chan community.

You literally just proved his point. QED.

neck restraint is standard use of force

noone dies from back of the neck pressure unless there is physical damage and none was detected, not to his skin, nor deep tissues based on autopsy report, there was not enough pressure to cause suffocation

GF died from fentanyl overdose and sick heart which could't handle him resisting arrest for so long

the parent comment asked "why couldn't he breathe in the back of the car" noone was kneeling on him in the back of the car if you watch the full footage there are 16 min of body camera footage before the viral video with Chauvin started, check it out

> the parent comment asked "why couldn't he breathe in the back of the car" Did George Floyd died in the back of the car? Or did he died after the police officer spent over 8 minutes kneeling on his neck until and after he lost conciousness? Enough with this bullshit. It's absurd how these mental gymnasts try to inflate the relevance of trace amounts of a recreational drug as a smoking gun, which mind you was already…

neck restraint is standard use of force. noone can be suffocated via back of the neck pressure unless there is significant tissue damage and broken bones or something indicating severely restricted airflow, and no damage whatsoever was found neither in his skin, nor deep tissue, nor bones of his neck.

based on expert testimony and autopsy report he died from cardiac arrhythmia caused by drug overdose and exertion from resisting arrest which his sick heart just couldn't handle.

He might have survived only if he didn't swallow his entire stash of fentanyl & meth to avoid jail and vigorously resist arrest, but unfortunately he did.

This politicized case will be thrown out on appeal, as jury was obviously intimidated by mobs on the streets and politicians like Rep. Waters calling for violence in case of non-guilty verdict. One of the alternate jurors actually admitted it in recent interview, that they were scared to go against the mob "verdict".
