    If you’re going to write a power fantasy for the internet at least make it cool. Add some lasers or epic street fights. Add in some part where you outsmart the librul professor who hates god. “I found a job in a shitty industry and only prostitutes will fuck me” is not the flex you think it is.

      Have you met a bully?

      Usually bully has a reason that they bully, but their targets are just whoever looks like an easy target. If it turns out that they are, they keep them.

      Being autistic can get someone bullied, and the person on the receiving end may not even know what they did wrong because of their autism.

        Fuckin yyyyup

        This was my whole life and I love seeing people online say the person being bullied deserves it.

        Really shits all over my experience and the years I spent trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong with me to make everyone seem to hate me just for existing.

      Genuine question: What do you think I, as a member of the LGBT+ community, did wrong that resulted in being bullied while in college?

      Eventually you have to step back and wonder, “Am I just a piece of shit?”. Ask yourself this question, then look at your screen. Are you on 4chan? Do you have Pepe images on your post? If you answered yes to these questions, there’s a high probability that you’re just a piece of shit.

        Reducing 4chan to its mediatic extremes is like reducing Reddit to the_donald or Lemmy to Hexbear.

          This ignores that 4chan is widely known as the cesspool of the internet and attracts those types. It’s like going on Hexbear and being surprised at the communists. People gather where their banners are. Shit attracts shit. This reduction is apt.

          Sure it kind of does some good ish things sometimes, but more often than not, it’s just an internet mob internet mobbing. That’s essentially all it is: chaos waves constantly crashing back in on itself. Any good that comes from it is incidental at best.

          Also, defending 4chan on the wider Internet is a little odd, 4chan itself revels in its shit reputation…
