Knew a guy for a while, one of those types who loves to say "most of 4chan isn't bad, it's only /b/ and /pol/, here look at this funny meme they made" I rolled my eyes whenever he said something like this but figured he was just in denial.

Then one day I mentioned to him that I cut contact with someone for defending drawn CSAM, explaining that I did it because it's used to groom minors and accustom them to being sexualized, and his response was "I don't care, it's the parents' responsibility to protect the kids, there should be no legal or moral barrier to what people draw"

Anyone who browses or defends 4chan is a fascist, a pedophile, or most likely both. Every interaction I've had with them only gave me further proof.

      US right-wing politics has a real 4chan vibe to it these days, it's been weird to watch 4chan ideas and vernacular become mainstream

        I believe the fundamental divide in American politics today can be boiled down to 4chan vs. reddit

          4chan vs. reddit

          and just like republicans vs. democrats they're not as different as they're made out to be

            I think Redditors would be full mask-off if their usernames were anonymous like on 4chan. Not all that different, but Reddit feels more "Polite" than 4chan.

      Pedophilia is when you murder babies in Satanic rituals OR when you teach kids about gender. They don't consider CSAM to be pedophilia.

      It originally lost steam on 4chan so they migrated to 8chan, notorious for CP lol. The owner is also living in the Philippines (is white), so I’m assuming there’s some Epstein shit there.

        You should watch the q anon documentary from a couple years ago. The owner and his kid are massive creeps.
