>The "community" is the actual world we live in. Wrong. The "community" is a small internet board that you actively have to seek out. It is not the "greater actual world we live in", it's a subset of it, with different sensibilities, culture, etc. No one has to seek out the "greater actual world we live in", that's a main difference. >A message board isn't isolated from that.

Your case to freely be racist with no repercussions is unconvincing. 4chan’s cover story doesn’t matter. It’s clearly a huge center for racism and other forms of discrimination. You’re literally arguing to use slurs. 4chan most definitely exists in the real world and is subject to its morals. It doesn’t matter if you use a slur at a private club, Internet forum or at home. It doesn’t change its offensiveness.

>Your case to freely be racist with no repercussions is unconvincing.

Stop strawmaning and shifting the goal posts because you've been proven wrong. We're not talking about racism in our thread here.

>4chan’s cover story doesn’t matter

It's not a "cover story", it's logically what's happening.

>You’re literally arguing to use slurs.

Wrong, they're not slurs. Just checked the dictionary, and "Archfag" is not listed as a slur. Neither is "oldfag" or "summerfag".

Now you're literally arguing delusions that you've created that are nonsensical.

“Fag” is most definitely a slur. A slur you’re arguing it’s ok to use.

No one is being called a "fag" though.

>A slur you’re arguing it’s ok to use.

I've successfully argued that "Archfag", "oldfag", etc. are not slurs, and are therefore OK to use. QED.

You’ve successfully exposed yourself as homophobic. QED

More delusions from you, not that I'm surprised. I am homosexual and fully support homosexuality. It is logically impossible for me to be homosexual. QED.

You've successfully exposed yourself as delusional here after getting owned. I won.

I can understand that sometimes there's decent bit of non-hate content on 4chan, but what sort of great content would you find there that couldn't be expressed here, or in some other forum that isn't full of hatred?

Seeing your comments on a few other parts of this thread makes me think that it's probably better for you not to bother with 4chan. As others have kindly explained to you, insults on there are facetious as well as self describing, and of course, derogatory. If you can't, or rather won't, see beyond that. Then it's just not for you. And that's fine.

You are correct, hate speech is not for me, and when possible I stay away from places where it would otherwise be unavoidable.

But what people have "kindly" explained have merely been justifications for racism and other hate speech that all seem to ultimately boil down to it being normal for 4chan. That, and the excuse of "oh but they don't really mean it" is pretty thin justification.

I don't believe you, but for the sake of argument, if you were actually a gay person that somehow bonked your head and scrambled your brains to the point where you thought it was a good idea for white supremacists to use a slur that leads directly to violence against your friends and yourself, it would still be a slur since 99.9999% of gay people would say it was.

It is normal there. These elements surface on anonymous forums precisely because they are not tolerated elsewhere.

A very simple pattern of 4chan posting culture is to offend others in order to provoke a debate about what you actually want to discuss. It's the 4chan version of clickbait. The /g/ catalog is absolutely filled with people doing this. Want to talk about Linux? Pretend you're a superior Windows user and mock Linux for not having some feature. File picker thumbnails are a common example. This happens all the time and can generate some rather unique discussions.

Because it's anonymous, you'll see a lot of frowned-upon behavior which can nevertheless be interesting. Everytime some drama happens on GitHub or LKML there might be a random 4chan thread discussing it in the usual offensive tone. It's interesting to read about what people think, especially opinions they wouldn't express if they had to sign the post with their real names.

it's kind of strange to pay attention to a fringe internet forum when you have mainstream media, like CNN, WaPo, NBC etc broadcasting conspiracy theories on "white supremacists", "white privilege", "systemic racism", "critical race theory", and other racist divisive bs every day for years now, not to mention inciting riots and violence on the streets. Especially when they openly admit doing this for political reasons…

Other media outlets aren't the topic here. If you want to talk about them, feel free to submit another post to HN. Until then, your attempts to misdirect the conversation are amateurish and obvious.

seems hypocritical to call 4chan majestic memes and insults hateful because their users express opinions different from yours, on the other hand spewing actual hatred and racism from mainstream outlets 24/7 is somehow ok. Indeed it's hard to compete with professional propaganda machine.

may be 4chan is not for you if you don't have a sense of humor or too brainwashed to only see black and white everywhere.

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

holy shit dude stop

do you have any evidence to believe otherwise? I watched the entire trial and the state failed to prove Chauvin's guilt without a reasonable doubt.

The jury was obviously intimidated by the mob, let's hope for appeal and supreme court having enough sense to overturn this bs verdict.
