The posting war continues, but I am a casualty.

    That "no chin" shit really got under their skin. Turns out Kek is on our side now, motherfuckers.

      I mean it makes sense, they're physically incapable of taking it on the chin.

      4chan was never a free speech zone. Try posting 4chan-tier material, but in the opposite direction (anti-right, anti-white) they ban you immediately, it's happened to me dozens of times. They won't ban for a million N bombs tho

      Basically white chuds get to go apeshit and everyone else has to use polite cucked lib words or they get banned and have their threads and comments deleted.

      Anyone who thinks 4chan is free speech is a dumbass lib or a chud pretending to be one.

            The boards are either invaded by others (/pol/) and infested with said invaders (/v/ being a notable one with "gamergate" and "DA SJW RUININ MUH HOBBY" bullshit), or get janitors that sympathetic to those views.

            "It is what it is," to quote their meme magic.

              /v/ jannies basically may as well not exist

              they delete furry porn sometimes (only sometimes) and that's basically it

              it's /b/ with a vague video game theme

                In my experience, it's people not actually REPORTING things that causes the board to have those threads (furry porn) stay. If people actually report them as "NSFW on a Worksafe board" the jannies generally WILL delete the thread.

                There's also the fact that Jannies can't be there 24/7 (dead hours/gaps) which is something I think they've been trying to solve... but yeah: A lot of the shit threads staying up is simply because nobody actually reports and people want to post in those "/b/ with video games" threads instead of actual video game discussions. /tg/ is going the same way (but thankfully has sort of stamped that out to where it's /vg/ but with board games), in a way.

        IDK, it used to be a different flavor of terrible. Not explicitly rightwing, more of a "everyone's fine as long as you constantly shit on everyone else for fun" way.

          except not really.

          back in 2006 it was all about shitting on conservatives, burgeoning "SJW"s (the acronym didn't exist yet), christian pearl clutching mothers, weeaboos, emos, and black people.

          The problem is that all the aforementioned ones were made fun of for non-racial characteristics, as opposed to being made fun of for being "black people"

          4chan never made explicit fun of white people for "being white". And if you do that these days, you get banned from many boards. Maybe back in the day it was actually free speech, but it certainly isn't now.

    We should make a new Chad meme but with massive tree trunk wrists :le-pol-face:

    Also a Communist version of the Crimson Chin

    I'm a fan of penises, most of them I find pleasing to look at, but I still pretend I think theirs all look stupid because it makes them seethe.

      Lmao that's the thing - a lot of them could easily improve their looks if they tried, and we're not all attractive either, but their weakness is having their insecurities targeted so it's an easy weapon against them.

    So where do they draw the line for what's bannable? I get this one cause they've been spammed with it for like a week, but can I post "communism will win" or something like that and have it stay up? What about earnest arguments (not that I plan on doing that)?

    • buh [she/her]

      On 4chan it's pretty much up to the discretion of the mods of the board. Aside from rules against things that are illegal, they have vague bannable offenses like off-topic, trolling, low quality, etc. that can be interpreted differently by different people. Not that I have a problem with them as a community having rules like that, but it's hypocritical and funny that they like to think of themselves as a free speech no hold barred unsafe space but saying you disagree with their beliefs or calling them ugly gets you banned lol

        Right, but are they on T_D level about it usually (instaban)? Or chapo level (generally stays up but everyone is gonna talk shit)?

          I don't know about /pol/ specifically but on other boards they'll delete the thread/post and give you a temp ban, usually 1-3 days but can be longer if your IP keeps getting bans. Occasionally they'll leave it up with a "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST" message so people can gawk, but it's rare.

          Before trump I think it was almost impossible to be banned from /pol/ for any explicitly political opinion. I don't think it's that much different now, there have always been (very few) lefties posting memes there. but even when they 'talk shit' they just parrot slurs, it's really dumb and forgettable. I would encourage all fellow failson leftists to post memes and insults there. I once presented a Kelly comic as if it totally owned the libs and I got a few bites lol

            Yeah I saw someone on here recommend just posting a meme or flaming an argument (I mean you could probably just post straight faced or something I'm sure) and then shutting down your PC and walking away. Thought it was a funny idea.

    I used to shit post on pol in like 2010-12. Thank god I turned out mostly normal, and by that, I mean the opposite of a nazi.

      Oh god I’m a 4chan boomer

      Nope. You're a 4chan teen. 4chan of 03-07-era was wild. Then /b/ started to invade niche boards (/v/ being one back then) and it went down hill. /pol/ (in various forms) was always despised by moot. /n/ (for news) was nuked, then it became /news/ then /pol/ IIRC.
