yes even I a frequent 4chan visitor has to admit that some boards on 4chan are somewhat...uhm... bad/wrong, but you and I have to admit that 4chan is not only laughing and lulzing on behalf of other people.
/b/ is an evil place but most of the other boards are places one can find good stuff, for example I already found more than 1.600 wallpapers on /wg/ and none of them has porn or offensive things in it.

what I try to say is that I think most of the times when someone cries that 4chan has done something horrible or wrong that they are wrong.
most of the "internet crimes" are done by anonymous (the group) and even anonymous admits that they are not the same people/thing as 4chan.

I like to see 4chan as the ultimate place to be free (cheesy I know) there are no rules and you can discuss/talk/post everything you like

I'm not sure to be honest due to the recent stuff they did to be put on the "good" side. Last time I check it was thanks to them they figure out who that woman is for binning that cat and also alerted the polices when one of the members will kill people in that high school.

I don't like or hate 4chan.

But I love and support Anonymous.

4chan is not evil. Never has been to my knowledge. It's a place where people can post stuff, as far as I know. Not even /b/ is evil, despite its reputation.

Perhaps the users do "evil" or "mean" or "bad" things at times, but that doesn't mean that the place is evil. Germany wasn't "evil" in WW2. The Nazis were evil.

Is 4chan evil?
No, it is just a website, an image board.
Are the people who go on 4chan evil?
Arguable, some possibly are, but the same could be said of other sites.
Then there are sites for politicians. Such evil flows from there to make even me scared.

I have a neutral feeling towards 4chan as a website, it could do without some of the users though. A site is only given a bad reputation because of what the users do on the site. So, I wouldn't say it is evil but some of the users may be. It also gave us Anonymous so it can't be all evil if some do consider it to be.

lol, no OP 4chan is not evil

4chan is just a bunch of basement dwellers and creepers posting memes and trying to troll teh newfags.

You have nothing to fear from 4chan, unless you're an animal abuser; in that case you have MUCH to fear from 4chan.

Maybe sentient knives....with the urge to stab.
I'd believe that. My smartphone is sentient enough, knives of the future can turn on us!
