I guess that's why 4chan has been divided into 4chan and 4channel - to isolate all nsfw and other questionably good content in one place. Formally 4channel has nothing in common with 4chan, it's de jure an absolutely different website, there's nothing to blame it for.

My room is clean and I shower everyday. I just have social anxiety so it's hard for me to interact with people that I don't know well. I've been taking meds for it and going to therapy (although that's pretty much stopped because of the pandemic. My therapy sessions are now limited to 15 minute Zoom checkups.) And I take a lot of the time I spend alone at home when I'm not doing coursework to improve myself. I've been teaching myself to cook, I read a lot, and I've been working on learning Italian.

You think it's the blue boards they'll go to? No. They'll probably go to 8.chan (unless that got shut down, I've seen people talk about 9.chan". The Trump-maniacs will go to the .win domains which are already super radicalized anyway. The post quality will go down for a bit until they have some place to let off steam but I don't think it will get that bad. I can imagine someone shilling B.BC on a section devoted to politics, because obviously it pisses off white supremacists, but I don't think it's nearly as kek-worthy to do it on a board devoted to Proust.

other boards like /fit/ got me to start seriously taking care of my health and now I lift 3 times a week and genuinely enjoy exercise

/int/ motivated me to learn another language and I'm picking spanish back up after taking 3 years of it in high school, and it feels good to review all of that stuff that's been rusty

That was pre 2016 /pol/. I was one of the first /pol/tards. I was on /pol/ back during the Gaza bombing livestreams and there were posters there that originated from 2010 /b/. Most of us were not really that political but we liked being edgy, which is why the connection between /b/ and /pol/ was fairly strong in that time. However, those people are long gone, having been replaced by retards that came after all the media attention in the mid 2010s, and the election made it even worse.

A lot of Ledditors are fearful because they've been called out. Der Ledditor is immunized against all dangers. Call a Ledditor a tranny, a faggot, or a newfag and it will run off zim like water off a raincoat. But call zir a Ledditor and you will be astonished at how zhe recoils, how injured zhe is, how zhe suddenly shrinks back: "I've been found out."
Der Ledditor will come into this thread with a false dichotomy: deleting /pol/ is good because then /pol/acks will leave 4chan, or deleting /pol/ is bad because then /pol/acks will go to other boards. This is how the Leddit mind works in their echo chambers, they always fail to see the bigger picture. They are also pro censorship. They create false assumptions, in this case that /pol/ is bad for 4chan, even though many /pol/acks have been here longer than them, and then continue to build off of these false assumptions for all of their arguments.
Some of these Ledditors are insidious and some are smarter than the sheep Ledditors. They know what they're doing. They know that /pol/ is just an extension of 4chan culture. They don't care if /pol/acks leave the website. They just want to be able to virtue signal that their favorite website, the funniest and most informative one on the internet largely due to the people that they want to kicked off this website, is not "racist" or "sexist" or "transphobic" anymore. Obviously these people would never leave, but all that matters is the virtue signal points. They dream of seeing someone call them a "nigger" and then being able to say, "/pol/ was deleted, 4chan doesn't accept your kind any more!" They are like the liberals fleeing California to Texas, and then voting Democrat in Texas. They are cancer.

The absolute worst that would happen is that /pol/ would be forced to be deleted. I don't even think Hiro would delete the porn boards. 4chan would stay almost entirely the same, it just wouldn't have /pol/.

Which, of course, is what huge amounts of us have desired from the beginning. We all know what the real origin of all the problems on 4chan is. It sure as hell isn't /e/, or /gif/, or /d/.

>Those things were rare outside of /new/ and then /pol/ back in the day.
Schizos ranting about DA JOOS started from /pol/ but people casually saying nigger and any other no-no word on here is as old as 4chan itself.

The only thing this shows is that you are a /pol/tard that has infested other boards. I personally have never stepped outside of blue boards, because there is nothing of value to be found. /pol/tards are just a different form of furries.

From what I've seen among the more intellectual right is they're making efforts to move offline completely at least when I comes to organization, preferring more closer and tighter communities. It could be a good thing in the long run.

Yes, that's what I mean. They were everywhere on /v/, back in the day, threads would get derailed all the time

Can we just admit any significant interfference by Joe with 4chan(/nel) would be bad?
