4chan, trolling and its dangerous side effects

[Påsan]

There's nothing wrong with being pro-russian, pro-american or pro-eu. Mudpit is there for debate, but we don't encourage antisocial behavior. Things that break the law are not allowed, which is why you wont find people preaching to join ISIS.

I don't see how that makes it better really. Also scale effects. The reach and influence of the mudpit et al. is pathetic, especially in comparison with 4chan/b.

Why would you compare /b/ with the Mudpit? A better comparison would be the Mudpit with /pol/

Camp was saying that the mudpit have little influcence and reach compare to 4chan. Be it /b/ or /pol/, they still have much more users than the mudpit.

I was actually answering to a comaprison of 4chan with the mudpit and other uncouth subforums of TWC.

I'd rather it be shut down, along with Gamersgate and the bad portions of Reddit, It's a cancer, and a vile misunderstanding of freedom of speech.

[Derpy Hooves]

How is it a misunderstanding of freedom of speech?

You are right, normally it isn't but in the current climate being pro-X usually means you hate the other side. You cannot deny that there is a great deal of hostility in the Mudpit.
