4chan might be the worst thing ever created by the human race...
No, seriously.
[Theme music plays]
4chan is an image board website that is organized by what are known as "boards".
These boards are organized by theme or content
and all have their own specific guidelines.
4chan was originally created as a way for Anime and Manga fans to post pictures and discuss... things.
And while that's still a large part of it, 4chan has expanded to currently host anything from a
My Little Pony board to a politically incorrect board.
Basically, anything I've ever made a video about has a board on 4chan.
As it sounds, 4chan MIGHT be an interesting idea, right?
Well, no.
Because apart from looking like it was designed in 2003,
Well, i-it WAS designed in 2003...
But while every other website evolved with the internet,
4chan just sort of sat there and fermented,
gradually rotting, spreading toxic fumes virtually throughout the internet,
it's taint searching for the next young mind to pollute and indoctrinate.
But the design of the website is not the problem;
The problem is that the entire website is built around anonymity.
There is no consequence,
No repercussions,
--No anything, really--
For the awfulness  you CAN say and DOES get posted.
Sure, you might be banned for a few hours,
but all you get is a warning message and then it's back into the fray.
But enough of me trying to describe this to you,
it'll be easier if I just show you.
So in preparation for this video, I took one for the team and created a couple of threats in 4chan's most infamous board;
This being "random" or "/b/" as they call it.
Which is about anything you can fathom is posted and debated.
Imagine the worst thing you possibly can.
...Okay, hold that thought for a second.
Right. Now scrap that idea and imagine something a hundred times worse than anything you could ever imagine...
That makes no sense, but it's basically what the random board on 4chan is.
But anyway, I went and asked the 4chan community what they thought the best and worst things about 4chan are.
These are all real responses,
none of these are faked or fabricated.
And be warned, this is obviously going to be horribly offensive.
So, at first, I got a couple of ironically sarcastic replies saying things like;
"Nothing. 4chan is perfect"!
or, "The sense of camaraderie and community".
Then things started to heat up a bit, with anti-Semitic pictures, naked Reggie and--
Ahh, forget it, just look at these, they don't need explaining.

Of course, there WAS other awfulness I  can't feature in this video,
but, believe me, it WAS there.
4chan is like...
...It's like a look into what the human race really wants to be,
Deep down inside.
It's how we would treat each other if there was no such thing as restraint or empathy.
It's a window into the true vision of what the human race REALLY is;
A bunch of horrific, self-loathing, writhing creatures,
with nothing better to do than to fight, argue and insult over why their opinion is right.
And to round this out, I'll leave you with a reply I got on the
"What is the best thing about 4chan" thread that I didn't feature earlier
because it sums it all up perfectly.
"When one comes here, they get judged on what they post. No-one will judge you for being a fat, autistic weaboo,
"because from the get-go, we assume you're a fat, autistic weaboo because the rest of us are fat, autistic weaboos in our hearts.
"Also if you're a Holocaust denier in one thread, but in another, you want to talk about Nichijou, then you can...
"And freely."
So those are my thought on 4chan.
What do you think? Do you agree, disagree?
Tell me why in the comments below.
Make sure to check out some of my other videos with the handy links provided here.
Short but sweet, this one. Hope I got the point across without droning on.
So, as always, thanks for watching. All comments and ratings are appreciated and I'll see you next time.
Bye!
