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.

    You could browse /b/ and it was ok, more fun and quirky stuff than genuinely vile stuff.

    Deeply unserious assertion, nowhere on 4ch was ever not a horrendous racist hole. People try to act like 4ch used to be just a quirky funster website but slurs were never ever not the norm

      this is true, it was never good, it used to be bad somehow it got even worse
