Have you ever wanted to see the ponies from My Little Pony ranked by sex appeal? Have you ever wished you were violently radicalized? Have you ever sat and thought to yourself, “Wow, I’d love to see a beheading video right now!”
Well, if you've ever had any of these thoughts, or if you're a 12-year-old white boy who hopes his parents will forget to lock the gun safe in time for school Monday, 4chan might be the place for you. All that and more awaits with open arms anyone who it can ensnare in its net of desensitization and alt-right fearmongering.
First, if you're considering making the trip, we can review 4chan’s long resume of features and accolades. You can visit the website's main page and all its features will be laid out right in front of you. Anime boobs? Guaranteed. Pictures of a random assault rifle with a caption that makes you squint a little? For sure. All of this alongside countless other images that you’re sure to feel very uncomfortable to be looking at in public, especially when you forgot to put a sign on your back saying “I’M NOT LOOKING AT THIS FOR ENJOYMENT.”
Next, you should know about the popular uses of 4chan to know if it is right for you. I've touched on the anime porn (uh oh), but the quantity of it really can't be overstated. The quality might be a different question, but nobody there seems to be interested in the answer.
You can also use 4chan to become extremely racist, as their political page (titled “Politically Incorrect”) is mostly memes about minorities and schizotypical rants about the dangers of an ethnic group you've never even heard of. You might be able to learn about the Great Replacement, or consider the plight of the white cuck, and you will definitely see the n-word more than any other word.
You might be able to leave the circle jerk and sporadically spend small amounts of time in real life, but it's likely all the friends you've made and new words you know will follow you. Murderers and mass shooters usually hail from 4chan as twisted nephews who owe everything to this community.
Well, even with all its flaws, 4chan can be a faster source of news than any other. Jeffrey Epstein's death was posted about nearly an hour before it was officially reported. Pictures and anecdotes about other murders are popular as well. Maybe The normaL should take some notes.
4chan has built itself on a basis of free speech with incredibly loose constraints. But opening it up doesn't feel like walking into a world where everyone is free to say what they want. It's walking into a world where everyone around you is held hostage by each other, where everyone's words strangle what humanity remains in each person.
Even when it inevitably collapses under the weight of its own festering community, its legacy will be carried on by its three children: Reddit, who has always followed in 4chan’s footsteps in terms of fedoras and questionable attraction to animated women who look a litttttle bit too young; Twitter X, who's going through a real asshole phase right now; and 8chan, the home of QAnon, links to child porn, and mass shooter manifestos, which I won't say anything else negative about because I don't want someone to doxx me and sell my kidneys on the dark web.
