    4chan is so full of teenage racists, incels and general dipshits that I can’t help but think anyone who defends it is also a racist, incel, or generally a dipshit who hasn’t graduated high school yet. Posts like the OP here are the exception, not the rule.

      Yep, 4chan is the Nazi bar of the Internet, and cherry picking an example of innocent shitposting means nothing.

      It had its moments, twenty years ago, but all the worthwhile anons left ages ago.

      There’s even a fairly famous quote from a 4channer about it.

      “Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe they’re in good company.” -Descartes né Anon

      Of course, Anon still missed the real lesson.

      There are always far, far, fewer people “just joking around” than the good people in the room want to assume.

            It’s kinda funny because even all the other boards on 4chan make fun of /pol/. The people that use 4chan outside of /pol/ are very aware of what goes on in that board. /x/ is the dopest board on the Internet if you like sci-fi stuff and the whole website originated around anime to begin with, so /a/ probably one of the biggest boards still.

          Last time I went there, a while back I admit (before it became mainstream knowledge), it wasn’t moderated out at all. It wasnt nudes (although didn’t look very deep) but they were posting little girl and salivating.
