On yt and tiktok, 4chan is portrayed as a truly dark corner of the internet—how true is that? Personally, I feel like it’s a forum for losers—like me. So far, all I’ve found there is a ton of porn.
>>13261031it was a mostly unearned reputation even at the height of /b/ edginess circa ~2009-2011. people would go there, see a guy getting his head cut off with a machete or shitting dick nipples, and leave the website forever. it's understandable - most people had never really seen that sort of stuffbecause of this, they never realized that almost the entirety of the rest of the website was just nerds talking about nerd things. they'd go back to their normalfag spaces and tell everyone that 4chan was the worst place ever, and the reputation stuckthis got reinforced a bit by media hysterics surrounding /pol/ (death be upon them) in the late 2010'sthese days the reputation is borderline satirical. you'll see way worse things and meet way worse people just browsing xitter or facebook normally, not to mention the myriad of discord servers that are basically death cultsYour fortune: Very Bad Luck
>>13261031you'll sometimes come across some sick shit, like animals being killed or gory chinese traffic accidents, and if you want to get radicalized with far right political views I'm pretty sure you can find that here too. but mostly it's just losers and porn, yeah.
>>13261031long gone are those days when i was genuinely afraid to make a post. those were the best days
>>13261046oh and I'm sure there are plenty of groomers who would love to manipulate and abuse you, too, if you give them the chance. but you can probably find more of them on roblox lole
there are 76 boards on 4chan, with a wide variety of topics and users. many people just use one or few boards, and never interact with any other, so it's kind of impossible to actually put a blanket label on what a 4chan user is or what happens here
>>13261052I think it’s easier to get groomed on Discord lol

Some of the comments in this thread seem exaggerated or unrealistic. I think this would benefit from a once over and a outward perspective.
