/mu/ isn't too bad, but even for me, /pol/ is just too much.
If I remember to come back to this topic a little later maybe I'll try to post a version with the naughty words censored.no thanks.
I wouldn't go to a site even if all the toxicity and racism was "contained" to one or two sub-forums
do you go to reddit?
4Chan? No fucking thanks.
Yeah, 8chan is more your speed
I don't trust people who hang out on 4chan on the regular in 2024.
Is more racist possible?With 4Chan it's sort of like Dragonball and its millions of different forms where they just keep adding new levels of racism every other episode.
He blocked him after he found out. Get off your high horse.*she
...you were friends with a nazi?friends is a stretch but i was until i found out
No problem, I just went back and edited it to be accurate
Last time I went there was like a decade ago and all the fun and silliness was gone and it was just bitter people posting vile shit.yeah, the whole incel thing was in its early stages then.

I know /b/ is extraordinarily racist. They're also hardcore Trumpies. Maybe not all of them but surely at least three quarters.Current /b/ is more preoccupied with posting dick pics and creeping on random women's social media pics. It's /v/ that has morphed into /pol2/ over the years.
Is more racist possible?Yes. But it's always been bad. I remember when it was newer and I went there, I left because of how obnoxious it was. People tried to just say it was people being edgy, but I think it's just them being racist.
in recent years
racists first infiltrated 4chan in large numbers 13-14 years agoI'd say it was earlier than that. I distinctly remember not liking it in my college days, and that would have been about 5 or 6 years after it was made.
they've run a great deal of psyops which have permeated the overall culture to some degree in the years since, but most boards don't really like them
Yes. But it's always been bad. I remember when it was newer and I went there, I left because of how obnoxious it was. People tried to just say it was people being edgy, but I think it's just them being racist.i agree with you that it's racist even if it's ironic/edgy, but i legitimately used to be able to browse /mu/ and shitpost without fascists interjecting with their favorite word back around 2010 and 2011.
neither do i, which is part of why i stopped talking to one of my old IRL friends, who also turned out to be a literal nazi. i couldn't have blocked him faster.
4chan's "ironic racism" was never ironic. That was just a lie to lure in gullible people. 4chan has always been racist/sexist/transphobic. The internet as a whole has gotten even worse. Reddit is overwhelmingly infested with people crying about woke and DEI.
