Eh. Some people get into their strange heads that such behaviour is the natural evolution of ideal memery. Combined with a sense of loneliness and a convenient echo chamber.

Female youtubers and streamers have it hard in general too... Guess that's the nature of the medium at the moment, unfortunately.

But yeah, think it's partly due to people not noticing when they cross the line from funny memes to actually unacceptable behaviour.

At least people in the 4chan thread are also reacting with disgust, overwhelmingly. It's still horrifying though. Whatever happened to fighting scientology and other injustice? Bluh.

Stuff like this is why, if I had the powers to anonymously control websites no matter their anonymity, I would obliterate 4chan and wipe the data from its users' computers. They deserve it.

I really don't get the internet like I thought I did.

Sites like 4 chan and trolls and all that scare the hell out of me. People who call themselves the internet's hate machine and do that in their free time.... I don't want to get it.
Seems you can't escape it and confronting it or "feeding the trolls" just makes it worse. Stand up for yourself or someone you care about online and it just backfires.

So trolls will basically win the internet, because there's no way to smack them, or if there is, we'll end up hurting EVERYONE, instead of just them? Shit.

I would also troll the Roblox website by slamdunking their website's front page with porn. They do not deserve full obliteration.

I mean, 4chan is actually dangerous. Roblox players are just annoying.

Your whole attitude on this topic is "dangerous". That doesn't mean I would censor you if I got the chance.

Sure. Opinions are opinions. I just feel like 4chan's raiding of female Youtubers should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. It's like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

Oh, this is definitely illegal sexual harassment.  Probably against Youtubes TOS too /s
Though for the record, the people on 4chan almost entirely called the "crusade" pathetic and disgusting, and wondered why anyone would even do it.  Then the thread got deleted.  These trolls are of 4chan, but they're a disavowed minority.

Not like /pol/, which is completely infested with hate speech, disinformation, and plans for doing harm.

/tg/ for example is pretty nice, cheesecake aside.  There was a nice thread about a genderfluid elf in a 5e module, where it was about evenly split between "REEEE GAY, SJWS STEALING OUR GAME, I'M GOING BACK TO 2E" and "Huh that's cool.  Why would this be a problem?"
(I'm still kinda amused that one person was actually threatening to go back to 2nd Edition, hehe.  Not 3.5, not Pathfinder, 2e.  I feel like he really wanted any excuse at all.)

No, it isn't. This is a fair reaction to something as disgusting as the above.

The thing itself appeared to have nothing to do with 4chan.

I like /tg/. Lack of review process means I can gripe in a vacuum without losing social credit

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

/tg/ is pretty much the only 4chan board that is not a steaming pile of crap.

Fair or not, "I want to destroy everything I personally don't like, alleged 'other people' be damned" is... well, a good reason to keep someone far away from power.
