The posting war continues, but I am a casualty.

      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.
