Hello friends.
I’m afraid I am going to have to take back some of the nice things I said about 4chan. The first reason for this is that the posting of child pornography, that I had thought to be an occasional abberation, actually appears to be a daily event. While the moderators do their best to stamp it out when they find it the sheer volume of content on the site makes this almost impossible.
The second reason relates to the in-jokes that the site is famous for. Unfortunately one of these in-jokes basically boils down to this: whenever someone says something, ANYTHING, about black people it is a signal to all the trolls to come out from under the bridge and post as much offensive, racist content as possible. Now the fact that this happens is hardly surprising. But what annoys me is the degree to which it is an entrenched part of the culture of the site.
