It takes a very advanced sense of humor and logic to thrive on 4chan. Seriously though, amazing site.The UI looks ugly, but is really quite functional and nearly perfect once you understand the culture a bit. Some people go for shocking content on there just to rebel a bit, but it’s useful to just keep an open mind. Lurk more before posting to get a feel for the culture. This is where some of the best conversations on the net are: but they’re very ephemeral and fleeting.

Yes, the intellectualist language and culture is born here. I am not saying it didn’t happen before 4chan launched but sure gave it the shape for many years on.Then no comment.

Username Rule is Dumb, Community Very Toxic, and Not Newcomer Friendly at All.

Reviewed on 2017-09-01T04:05:44

I entered a username for a post I entered, not knowing I had to write under an "Anonymous" title,like other websites, which is frankly stupid considering other websites like Blogspot can let you choose between Anonymous or your username, and when I defended myself when a user claimed I was "namef@gging/post discarded", I was called "ret@rded/lived in a ret@rd home with ret@rd friends". Need I say any more? Is this how your pathetic website treats newcomers who don't know the rules or how to use the mechanics for your stupid site? My God, no wonder it's hated. I had no interest in arguing with obvious cyberbullies/trolls who are so toxic and unfriendly to newcomers (plus I'm a kind person and I'd turn into something I'm not) so I've quit patronizing your place altogether, I'm not risking blowing my top. I've also seen how cyberbullying and racism runs rampant there and they even use autism (which I happen to have) as an insult, anyone who says that is scum. Don't even bother with this website, there's better ones out there to chat on.
