I've been on it. It's not that bad. Not even /b/ is that bad. People just tend to over exaggurate(I can't spell that word properly.) things.

My brother goes on it all the time. I've watched a few times, and half of the threads have porn.

I usually browse it alongside the escapist.

I'm an /x/phile, amongst other things.

I've been to 4chan. While /b/ does suck a lot, the other forums aren't too bad. I like to hang out on the movies/TV board, as well as the video game board and once in a while, some of my friends in vent will lead me over to the Sports board for some goofy action.

Yes. Porn fucking everywhere, and not the good kind.

It's basically where people go to try to make the most "inappropriate" shit possible because they can.

Yes I have many times, and I enjoyed my experience most times.
Not all of 4chan is like /b/.
Yea, for a while /r9k/ was pretty good. But, unfortunately, that did not last. Now I feel the only boards worth going to are /v/, /lit/, /mu/(some of the time), /wg/, /tv/, /a/(some of the time), and on occasion /k/. The rest are just kinda there, and in my mind, only act as filler.

I have no problems with /b/ or any other section of 4chan. The majority of it seems to me like a less organized, less focused, and less restricted version of what's going on here; It's a bunch of like-minded folks sparking arguments and discussions with each other alongside another bunch of like-minded folks who want to piss off the other bunch of like-minded folks but typically fail at it but fancy that they've succeeded, and all the while both segments feel a form of unity, a sense of community... of course, it's not a very well-deserved sense of community, not since the self-righteous lot started traipsing about the place and infecting other areas of the collective internets with their sense of humor and constantly referring it back to 4chan. To put it short, it was better before it was popular, and I think any oldfag would agree with me.

Most of my hate towards it comes from the unnecessary raids for the lulz but if they wanna do it they wanna do it really. I don't have anything really against it besides that.

And what, pray tell, is wrong with that? It's not like it's doing anything important, and they don't seem to think it is. Just because something is done for the sake of doing it doesn't automatically make it bad. Typically the things that are bad because they are done for the sake of it are the things that hurt other people, like, oh, I dunno...... punching a bunch of old ladies in the face. Perhaps, if they had assaulted your person with some kind of weapon prior to the face-punching, the judge would let you go with a slap on the wrist, but if, when asked why you did it, you said "I dunno", you'd probably be locked away for a while. On the other hand, if you drew a giant dick on the wall of your living room (YOUR living room, not your parent's or landlord's) and you had no forthcoming reason, nobody could penalize you for it in any substantial way because A) There are no rules against it and B) It's your fucking living room.

I didn't say anything was wrong with it, just that it's not my bag.

I have been to 4chan. Obviously you haven't actually been if you can say this - did you not notice all the child porn, gore, racism and misogyny? I realize most of that community is just taking the piss - doesn't mean I wanna see that stuff.

Besides, all the good/funny things from 4chan (memes, mashups, epic stories) always filter out to the rest of the internet, so there's not much point going to the source and having to sift through all the rate me, copypasta and cancer threads to find worthwhile things.
Child porn? Not really
Gore? rarely - even then it's generally trolling and it's buried.
racism? Only the funny kind (taking the piss out of itself)
misogyny? Not really

These all seem to be attributed to /b/ which I don't actually visit (not very often anyway, because I generally don't like gore, and scat just get curious what btards are up to every now and then).

I personally lurk /a/, sometimes check /v/. Also I check all the 18+ boards every now and then, depending what kind of mood I'm in. That includes /r/ and sometimes /hr/.

Yes I've been to 4chan. I could barely navigate due to horrible, horrible design and it was really nothing special.

Besides, I'm guessing that in posting this you probably weren't around for the famous, uh...Zynga march madness catastrophe (In saying that I'm sure I could face death by nun pinching).

Yes, at first it didn't seem so bad

"Oh so this is the fabled /b/ its not all the bad, in fact some of this porn ain't half bad and lets see scroll down OH MY GOD, DEAR CHRIST WHAT IS THAT?????!!!!"

Yeah its all fun and games until someone thinks "We need a she-male thread again"

I have yet to post but I bet I'd be considered a "newfag" if I did.

EDIT: I think, like me, /b/ scares a lot of people off, but the rest of the site seems nice enough.

I went on it a few times. But, I didn't know how to use it. Seems kinda over-discussed seeing as the few tings I found were actually quite funny.

I love 4chan. The /x/ board can be pretty amusing at times.

Well, actually, child porn is not allowed on 4chan. It probably does get in there every once in a while but it gets removed and the poster banned pretty fast.

Ain't nothing wrong with gore, most of which is fake or fairly mild by video game standards.

Misogyny, racism, and all that are all over the internet, and rather funny at times. You don't have to be a butthurt stereotypical liberal over it. Offensive humour is both funny and helpful - it ridicules the proclaimed differences between genders, sexual orientations, and races. And it never hurts to be able to take a joke.
"You don't have to be a butthurt stereotypical liberal over it" - and you don't have to attack me for having a different opinion from you. I didn't said the misogyny and racism never gave me a laugh. Like I said, I know they're just taking the piss. I've been to 4chan on more than one occasion, so obviously I wasn't too horribly offended or I wouldn't have gone back.

But you can't deny the CP and gore. I've never seen "fairly mild" pics in gore threads, they're usually pretty nasty. And /b/ usually gets around CP restrictions by posting CP manga (which, mind you, is a lot better than actual CP, but is still pretty gross).

Edit: Also, I'm talking solely about /b/ here, if that wasn't obvious already.
Child porn isn't illegal because it's "gross". Else a lot of straight assholes would want to keep homosexuality illegal too, just like they did less then a century ago.

Child porn is illegal because the child is being violated. Under the laws, the child is underage in terms of age of consent and is considered too immature and incapable of understanding human sexuality. And as it's seen in multiple cases of child molestation, it tends to have adverse psychological effects, too. The child is a victim in case of real life child porn, and harm comes to said child. So it's illegal.

Manga, however, does not represent real life. When you draw someone horribly dismembered and raped you have not yourself committed either murder nor rape. While the imagery might be found shocking or "immoral" by some viewers, you have not harmed anyone through producing said imagery. So I really don't see a problem. Censorship is worse, in my opinion.

There's a difference between harming a real life human being and simply drawing said harm done to an imaginary drawn human being. Making the latter illegal is almost like saying that thinking about murder makes you a murderer and you have to go to prison - thoughtcrime, basically. If it doesn't hurt anyone in process of creation (unless said harm was agreed upon by all the parties and some kind of contract was signed), I don't see a problem with it.

As a liberal, or perhaps an ex-liberal, I will attack many of the traditionally liberal view points because many of them stink of hypocrisy and idiocy. So do many traditionally "right-wing" views. Some, from both sides, are reasonable. I do not associate with either movement, although most of my core beliefs are definitely "liberal" in nature, and will criticize both until my demise. So, I suppose, hate me if you will.
