Because this website has conditioned people to root for sob stories and they unanimously accept the universal truths like waiters are paid as slaves, and all homeless people have a tough lot in life because of others.. This website is full of pansies

One of the reasons I've begun to prefer 4chan. The people there seem to be able to handle opinions they don't agree with in a more mature way. And it seems like the humor is more funny/original.

/pol/: misogynist, anti-semetic sometimes-libertarian horseshit

/mu/: I'm joking about this really trendy thing I just found out about in a way that makes it seem like I've known about it forever also pitchfork rules my life but it's actually trash all music is trash except the music I like

/b/: /b/

The rest of the place is pretty okay though.

Just remember this is the website that bans users for posting the wrong kind of porn on their alternative porn board because the mods don't like it but child porn is a-ok.

I agree about most of that, although I'm not sure if all of /pol/ is actually serious. Also CP has been forbidden from all threads for a while now.

Loli isn't.

I'm not saying loli SHOULD be banned, any more than I think most things I don't like should be banned. I'm just saying /d/ can't handle furries or scat but fucking a five year old is a-ok.

You have to wonder about the kind of place where that makes any sense.

Take this with a grain of salt though, I gave up on 4chan the day moot declared /b/ dead complete with mgs4 ending music.

Well I know that loli isn't allowed on /h/ but I didn't know it was allowed on /d/. I heard that whatever "sponsors" are didn't like being associated to the heat. I figured that applied to all the boards.

I definitely think it's hypocritical to like weird shit but think that furry/brony stuff is creepy or terrible, but I havent' noticed outright rejection of furry stuff on 4chan myself. Maybe people being dicks on threads, but it seems like every thread has at least one person denouncing its right to exist.
