What I witnessed on the site was physically sickening. Users failed to sustain any level of intelligent or substantial discussion beyond a few posts, oftentimes breaking down into childish insults and personal attacks on another’s race or sexuality. One of the most common insults I noticed was calling someone a “faggot”, usually preceded by another relevant descriptor. For example, if one user deemed another to be new to the website, he would call him a “new faggot”, sometimes abbreviated to simply a “newfag”. Threads were riddled with irrelevant hardcore pornography and other obscene images that left most users seemingly unscathed, as if it’s normal for them to constantly consume such explicit content in the background of whatever they’re doing. There was a culture of extreme pervasive racism, with a majority of likely white male users casually using the “n-word” or in some way proclaiming Aryan superiority, whether or not it had any relevance to the discussion at hand. I would advocate a full-fledged government investigation of the site with the intent of shutting it down, as it serves as a dangerous breeding ground for alt-right, neo-Nazi, and other radical schools of thought.
