4chan's fucking hilarious, some of the absolute comedy gems are on 4chan, and since I'm completely unoffendable (by pictures at least) I can scroll straight past the crap without having to claw my eyes out XD

4chan is awesome. Those who spout about how horrible it is are either A) are idiots. B) never been there so are just spouting crap they have heard so see reason A again. C) are weak and only checked out /b/.
/b/ is not 4chan. If I want some good shock pics or to fap then sure, I check /b/. But then I go to /ck/ and get some awesome recipes. /tg/ and talk about 40k. /fit/ gave me some great tips to stay in shape. /x/ kept me up many a night with spooky tales.

And ya know what. Some of the most intelligent and open discussions I have had online took place on 4chan because people are free to say what they please without having to worry about offending people and most outside of /b/ do not even want to offend people.
Oh and the whole "its full of child porn" stupidity. They ban you there for that. That is about the only thing they do ban you for. And the mods do a fantastic job keeping on top of that.
I have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Putting letters in // marks doesn't help anyone's understanding. But let me tell you. Whatever that "/b/" stuff is you are talking about, that is why people hate 4chan. It doesn't matter how good the other content is, having that kind of low life, child porn, ect stuff makes the site disgusting. I don't hate on websites or gaming ever, but I do draw the line at this.

there should be a choice for sick and twisted but hilarious.
(I assume by 4chan you mean /b/. Most people do.)

PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI PUDDI

Moot (site creator) trolled /b/ HARD! Every word was turned into PUDDI. EVERYTHING! It's over now but, that were it came from. This happen 2 days ago and ended last night.

As fot 4chan, I can't say. I hear the boards are very well kept. I only lurk /b/.


As for /b/, OP is a fag.
So is everyone else. Take nothing to heart (even CP). It's a place to troll and bullshit. There is cancer (ignore it) and wasted thread space. Though you stick with it and you be hooked.

I see 4chan as a necessary evil. Sure, there's more gay porn there than an actual gay porn site, but they come up with some excellent memes for the rest of the internet. Not to mention creepypasta; I would be able to sleep regularly if it wasn't for /x/! Where's the fun in that?

4chan is just people being people; it's the closest we'll ever get to completely unbiased interaction free of social norms between humans.

Whihc is the indifferent option?

I think its cause because anytime something low and dumb goes on in an organized attack, it starts from 4Chan. Thats not to say other sites dont do that, but I've never heard the escapist do that. But like i said, I'm indifferent to it.

Seeing as I forgot to include indifferent, I'm just counting the child porn one as indifferent.
Also, I'm shocked. I thought like 80% of the Escapist hated 4chan. If the poll is honest, twice as many people like it than hate it. The more you know.

4chan is a good candidate for most mis-labelled, slandered site on the web. They always show up the news as super-hackers or cyber-terrorists. really they just operate on an extremely bizzare set of morals.

Where's the 'indifferent' option? I occasionally head over there for /wg/. I don't really think you can bundle the entire 4chan community together though, there's too many of them to be just one pack under the 4chan name.

But yeah, I'm indifferent.

It's not that I dislike 4chan, it's that I hate Anonymous and everything they represent. Since 4chan is the usual staging ground for Anonymous, that means the site gets a large part of my ire. If Anonymous went somewhere else I probably wouldn't even think about 4chan that much, but as it stands it registers as this source of general annoyance at internet culture.

Oh, and they spawn memes, which makes them equatable to a satanic brood of chkt-tharr hive maidens.

Thats a weird thing to choose as the indifferent option. But thats probably cause when you hear about it, its bad stuff that the 4chan community did and it riles up Escapists who like to be riled or are easily riled.

ok, the first thing i saw was a picture of a guy with his own dick stuffed in his ass. which leads me to believe that on a first impression basis that this website is mostly crap

Depends on your tastes really...strange way to put it I guess.

I have no problem with the site, it's good for some lulz every once in a while, but otherwise I don't go there much at all. Is it a bad site? No, it's just got two features that make it so popular: anonymity, and requiring posting an image. Makes for too many combination's of weirdness and lulz.

I actually kinda get angry with people when I tell them about a joke from the internet, and they immediately dismiss it as "One of those disgusting 4chan things." or "Is this from 4chan, 'cause I hate that website..."

4chan is a huge forum, just because /b/ has the reputation, doesn't make the rest of 4chan bad...

/b/ is the source of all the bad opinions people have about 4chan. The rest is pretty decent.

Either way, 4chan is a vestment of freedom of expression. Being anonymous leaves people without fear to express ideas and share their darkest secrets with the world, with no consequences. This is healthy, and vital to democracy.
