Has 4chan (or /b specifically) always been a racist, neo-nazi dwelling?

[VomKriege]

Stormfront is boring racist stuff. If you want the kooky action, good place used to be the AboveTopSecret forums. David Icke's website also has some pretty outlandish stuff (I remember people arguing that the Japanese tsunami never happened and that pictures of displaced boats in the street were obviously Photoshop faked). Plenty of thinly veiled racism and antisemitism to go around in conspiracy circles.

[Vertigo]

What is Stormfront actually like? White supremacist OT, or nonstop hate?

It's weird as compared to it's reputation, it's seems to just be lots of white people with nordic and viking avatars, moaning about ethnics.

I used to love their media section. Especially their film reviews. You haven't fully lived until you've read a film review from the POV of a racist.

They also admit to listening to rap music but only enjoying it as it was "distinguished black fellows killing each other "

4chan is kinda 'tame' compared to places like 8chan.

That place is

 

Probably one of the most demonic websites that isn't on the so called "dark web". 

It's a seriously fucked up site if you go off the 'beaten' path.

I was only going on there as the WX section was great for WEBM porn scenes. It also has a hilarious interracial sex page in the WX section where racists post political rants against Blacked.com scenes and talk about how they feel disgusted that they get off watching the scenes but can't help themselves. Whilst 'cucks' post obscene black cock propaganda to wind them up.

Apparently Reddit is worse, so I've got no stones to throw.

[Madrun Badrun]

Calling reddit worse is silly.  It gets about 20 million unique visitors a month, a lot of which are American.  At that point its more of a realistic sample of everyday people, who just happen to be shielded by anonymity.  Point being, ya there are going to be racists but there are going to be a lot more of other people too also there are going to people who just say shit to troll people because its an online forum.   

For example I find r/canada pretty damn racist when it comes to stories about natives, however the opinions stated there that I dislike are not something you wouldn't over hear just walking down the street in saskatoon. 

Now obviously there are racist subreddits.  My favorite being r/blackfathers which use to go to empty subreddit page that said 'There doesn't seem to be anything here' until reddit quarantined it last year.  http://imgur.com/gallery/JomAvkm

With something like /pol/ I really can't tell if most of the people there are just trolling and having a laugh. Or if they are serious.

For what it's worth, I love their fifa expansion pack

Sometimes you get an itch to seek out the darkness of the internet.

Like stormfront, bestiality forums, liveleak, neogaf.

I think in a race to the bottom, liveleak beats out everything that's on public internet. Nightmare fuel snuff is uploaded constantly.

So of all the shit you've seen and know about from your internet travels, browsing stormfront for shits and giggles is the one thing that is beyond the pale for you?

C'mon son.

[kick51]

I'm not defending the stupidity that is the chans it's fucking dumb and people need to grow out of it, but the place is definitely not filled with evil shitlords that's going to kill your babies and blow up your mosques. It's a bunch of 12 year old nerds talking shit and other groups venting because their lives suck.

yeah, i won't deny how fucked up it is either. 

That was always part of the fascination for me.  Weird image macros and photoshops and people just completely out of control.  It was novel for some of us in the 2000s who hadn't spent much time on the internet until then.  I get that a lot of it is racist as fuck (probably read just as much disturbing antisemitic shit as racism against blacks fyi), doesn't mean I'm sticking up for it at all.  Just pointing out that there was fun to be extracted by those of us who have eaten too much LSD.  Every refresh was basically watching a new trainwreck and if you're lucky, some of the funniest shit you'd seen on the internet up until then. 

Talking about the days when caturday was a /b/ exclusive thing here.  I guess somethingawful was also going strong at that time and was probably way more on the level but lol $10

Tell me about it. I still get newsletter updates from a website called cute dead guys.

[CatsCatsCats]

I just checked, rotten.com is still going too.

[Atramental]

Ogrish seems to be somewhat active as well.

[Positive Touch]

wth i thought the feds shut rotten down

[Mr Gilhaney]

Pretty sure the new ogrish is just some copycat. The original was sold to liveleak. #gorehistorymonth

[bluemax]

Yeah I suspect it's like South Park fans, where "it's just a joke" turns into "but you know, they make some valid points"

That's pretty much exactly what he said to me on multiple occasions.
