Can we stop referencing 4chan and also stop posting "leaks and rumors" from that site?

[Tatsu91]

4chan is nowhere near as bad as it used to be most of the worst people moved to 8chan because they actually started enforcing laws and stuff. Sure their are phobic people but anyplace with pure anonymity will have trash like that. If the leaks is legit has proof to back up i say keep it

 

[Ashby]

I'm not the expert on that disgusting site, but thanks for the support, it's simply as much as one of the worst sites to reference.

You sound like an expert

 

[wagmarwigmir]

Might as well ban Reddit as well. Theres tons of porn there. Is this really the hill you want to die on?

 

[BossLackey]

Nah, I'm good.

For those wondering, the OP is referring to the massive derailment of this thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/doom-eternal-4chan-leak-seemingly-legit.138955/

 

[Kinanza]

Bruv.....if you think porn is the worst thing to come out of 4chan, hohohohoh boy, you'd best stay right there

 

[The Last Laugh]

You can pick and choose which threads to enter.
If you do not like porn, stay away from it. If you do not like threads where the source is 4chan, do not go in them.

 

[closer]

literally just discuss the leak without discussing the site, I don't get how it's difficult
the porn thing is just a particular hangup that OP has, there are plenty of reasons not to talk about this site ever

 

[Kirbivore]

I mean the rumors are on 4channel, so this is a non starter from that angle

I mean I'm not exactly supporting you. 4chan fucking sucks but pearl clutching over hardcore pornography is weird. Especially considering you're rocking an avatar from a manga that is filled with nudity and rape.
Anyway the point is porn is the last thing you could criticize 4chan over.

 

[Mr G]

You clicked a link, there were boobies, your mum saw it over your shoulder, and now you're grounded?

That's rough, my dude.

Dude don't tell people that

 

[Atilac]

You are completely within your rights to ignore 4chan, and abstain from discussing things from there.

 

[Tohsaka]

/v/ is on 4channel now and porn isn't allowed there. Sorry, OP.

 

[hey it's that dog]

I didn't say that, and if it's implied somewhere in my text, please help me word it out since english isn't my native language.

This section:

"4chan hosts pornographic content that it's simply put, as bad as everything that comes with hardcore pornography, there are levels to what we consider sick and bad, but 4chan is just as bad"

is confusing and reads to me like you're trying to say all hardcore pornography is equally bad or something? The issue with 8chan is that it's child porn. You are, at the very least, minimizing this important distinction.

 

[KanameYuuki]

So I do hate people now take every anonymous post from 4ch as truth but out of every reason there is to dislike 4ch the one you decided to draw the line is because there is pornographic content... and that even after them separating a bit the regular content to the NSFW... lol.

Let's stop using everything Google, since you know, you can search for porn with their services.

Now onto the topic, yeah people should stop believing every post there as a leak, even a broken clock is right twice a day, so with thousands upon thousands of post someone is going to eventually get something "right".

 

[Z-Beat]

I've been thinking with the whole ordeal with the THQ Nordic boycott and people condemning 8chan for what's hosted there, and honestly, 4chan hosts pornographic content that it's simply put, as bad as everything that comes with hardcore pornography

need to get the Op some fine brie to go with their whine.

 

[Kinanza]

I mean, how else are we gonna get those juicy rumors?

 

[Magic-Man]

Umm, there's porn on reddit and twitter too. 4Chan is bad for other reasons.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Given some of the games that are appearing on Steam now, maybe we should ban that as well?

yeah it's been a while now.
the porn boards are good btw, i visit /hm/ quite often.

 

[Rotobit]

The thing about that site is it allows people complete anonymity. The reason it, and other similar sites, so frequently get leaks is because there's a smaller chance of blowback. That's it. It basically has nothing to do with the character of its userbase, what else it hosts, etc.

Also people really overstate the accuracy of the rumors there, it's a tiny percentage and they only seem "right" after disparate parts are proven.

One thing I will say though is that I'd like people to screencap and crop out the replies, specifically. Those are usually where the vile nonsense lies and most everyone should have access to easy image editing tools. Seeing those "memes" pop up out of the blue on sites like this is just bleh, and I'm sure not clicking through a link to the site.

 

[TheGhost]

I've been reading 4 chan leaks for years. I haven't visited the site yet. Actually I tried to visit it about 10 years ago but I lasted maybe 3 seconds on there before the lay out turned me off. I can barely tolerate the way Reddit threads work.

 

[Deleted member 5745]

I like to quote Q here.

"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous ... but it's not for the timid."

Spoiler

I only visit /m/, the recent playthroughs they've been doing of Gihren's Greed have been great.

 

[Skyebaron]

Dosent the loli bread threads on /b/ count as pedophile content?

/b/ is not on the same domain as /v/. there's no link to /b/ from /v/.

 

[Raijinto]

lol I love this thread already.

I can sorta see where you're coming from OP but IIRC pretty much all of the entire January 2017 presentation for the Switch was leaked there. It's bad sure but it's gonna be referred to time and again because of things like that.

And we don't need to Voldermort the site either like some people do about Neogaf as well for some reason. It's got a name so it's whatever IMO.

 

[corasaur]

I'd be fine banning links to 4chan because the alt-right streak infects everything, even the hobby boards, and nazis are bad.

Lol!

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Many of the leaks turn out to be true and are worth discussing regardless of the original source. We can discuss the info without discussing the site itself. And porn isnt the problem....

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Really confused.

OP makes this thread about banning 4chan then 2 minutes later, makes a post elsewhere sticking up for THQ Nordic's CEO and their association with 8chan.
