Fair enough.
I'd try have a look but the layout disgusts me.

i've never actually been on 4chan because i thought it would be virus ridden and full of child porn, but... i might check it out now just to see what is? i will, will report back in 5 mins
Edit: well, i went on and i recognised that layout from pics people here. Didn't know what to do so i went on "Sexy Beautiful Women" and saw some women. A skeletal naked lady and some fat one with what looked like period blood up her thigh. People posting their supposed girlfriends. Okay. So then i went on weapons. Weapon talk. Then i went on video games. Game talk with over-the-top swearing. Okay yeah. Then i went on robot9001. People talking about community college.
So that was my experience on 4chan. I don't really understand.

i think the layout/simplicity is the best part
it's all unnecessarily obscene but part of the whole thing is that maybe it's good for us to get less sensitive
i go there when i'm sick of the world and don't want to be sensitive
breivik jokes, James holmes jokes, 9/11, anorexia bulimia jokes, sexist, racist.. just totally mean spirited insensitive humor 24/7
thats why everyone says f*ggot and n*ggers so much
maybe some of them are actually racist though. who knows, not me.

tried going there once
it seemed to have a lot in common with dubstep at the moment, in that you have to trudge your way through mounds of shit to find anything decent.
never went back, but not out of personal choice/distaste or anything I just never really wanted to.

Surely "mean spirited" humor and saying "n*gger" and "f*ggot" is only funny when your offending people? I mean, i'm sure everyone knows by now that that is what the site is about... so it's unlikely anyone going in there expecting to be offended or to offend.

that's part of the in-joke element too
people show up, "hey /b/ i'm showing my friend 4chan for the first time, do your worst"
(OP receives nothing but polite and properly written replies)
(minor lulz are had)
calling people ngger f*ggot just became rooted in tradition.
Some people mean what they say, are racist or just plain jerks etc. but most posters just continue throwing those insults at one another for the fact that it's become their dialect.
on there saying "stfu f*ggot" is more or less like one of us saying "I see your point but I must disagree"
It doesn't hurt that they refer to themselves as f*ggots too
"richfag here" "amerifag here" "britfag here"
it's just funny. maybe the point is to desensitize yourself to obscenity and sick humor, and have a place where you can unload all that hateful shit as an anon, and just get all the "n*gger"s and "f*ggots" out of your system
i'm not saying it's healthy
i don't think spending much time there is healthy
but in some weird twisted way, it kind of is. in the same way not being coddled and spoiled all your life is good for you, that you become more well-rounded
my last post really was only concerning /b/ tho
work safe boards are great, and pretty much like any other image board but i do think the layout and stripped down simplicity is excellent.
if you go to /fit/ it's a bunch of sick fucks and it's hilarious, but they can also definitely help you get in shape
so thats probably my favorite board
i'm not into anime or weapons or games, and /mu/ didn't really seem to hold much value

To me, calling someone a f*ggot is just calling someone an annoying dick. In general, people complaining about the word f*ggot, are f*ggots. We gone meta now.

no tbh i've been feeling the same and thats since before i picked up the hobby of lurking those boards
it slips off the tongue like no other word and sometimes theres nothing else that will suit the situation
the people who know me know i'm a huge social liberal with all the love in the world for queers and individual freedoms
I was always really against hate speech and hated the f-ggot word a lot, but now i couldn't give a fuck either way about how people talk, esp. online.
but anyway there are times in life that nothing but "fuck you Æ’aggot!" will suffice, to say how you feel
south park did an episode about it, and according to them it's been an arbitrary insult attached to different social groups throughout history. But i dont have sources so who knows
