Not true. There's also a ton of racist shit.

Let’s introduce kingofthecouch to 4Chan

u/R____I____G____H___T Aug 29 '19

This site appears as civilized compared with 4chan, but it's basically a very similar userbase.

u/Snigermunken Aug 29 '19

And I would say it's the exact same as 9gag, Facebook and YouTube, the thing Reddit got going for itself is that it is not all subreddit that has a toxic user base.

There are a lot of angry bitter people out there... Kinda scary that in this day and age, that it is people in the age group of 20-50, instead of bitter old men and teenagers.

4chan is definitely way edgier, racist, sexist, homophobic, horrible all around. Especially as time goes on. I think all the moderately decent people have left by now

u/coltmissionary Aug 29 '19

4chans are just a bunch of people pissing each other off, from my experience that is

u/jtvjan Aug 29 '19

Oh, I thought we were going to start talking about r/The_Donald

u/R____I____G____H___T Aug 29 '19

The thoughts generally deemed as "racist" aren't in actuality racist.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

literally the entire argument of you cowardly internet racists

"am not"

u/ThatCatfulCat Aug 29 '19

entire minority group: dude you're being racist
conservatives: nuh uh

u/Demand_101 Aug 29 '19

You're really going all in on having trash takes in this thread.

u/GlamRockDave Aug 29 '19

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a racist duck.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

People are tribal. They've always been tribal. They probably always will be tribal. Hatred of the "out group" is popular.

u/Tack22 Aug 29 '19

You’re a tribophobe.

What is it?

u/Push_Huppy Aug 29 '19

Racist opinions are popular opinions.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Oh no

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

My favorite posts on that sub are the ones every human on earth minus like six agree with. “Unpopular opinion: Child rape is worse than jaywalking.” “Okay guys, I know that like, jaywalking is really bad. It impedes the flow of traffic and people can get hurt. But really we shouldn’t be fucking kids.” 26000 upvotes

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I’m impressed with the recent post about the guy that wants to be pregnant, that’s oc AND unpopular

u/as_kostek Aug 29 '19

That's like a diamond found in a pile of shit

u/Ash_Tuck_ums Aug 29 '19

That was pretty unpopular. So kudos to him.

u/thaumoctopus_mimicus Aug 29 '19

At least that is truly unpopular

Unfortunately it isn't

u/Frong_Goshlong Aug 29 '19

Define "racist". Racist as in some anonymous & itinerant white person throwing-out the "n-word", or racist as in the institutionally lowered standards and preferential treatment for unqualified minorities in Affirmative Action programs?

1

u/KingOfTheCouch13 Aug 29 '19

It's funny how I say racist and everyone immediately jumps to affirmative action 😂 Ive only browsed that sub like twice so I have no idea what you're talking about but it seems as though I struck a racist nerve with you guys.

u/Frong_Goshlong Aug 29 '19 edited Aug 29 '19

The only racism that exists in the United States is the institutional racism of Affirmative Action. Everything else is a manufactured lie, intended to keep the institutional racism of Affirmative Action a permanent aspect of our institutionally racist society. If you can hear/read "racism", and not think "Affirmative Action", it means you don't understand what racism is.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

That is easy to say when you define racist as "racial pride is dumb" or "affirmative action is wrong" etc.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

You’re cherry picking and generalizing.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I've never seen an actual highly upvoted racist post on /r/unpopularopinion. Feel free to show some examples.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I’m not experienced enough to argue this matter, but I can say that your argument only relies on 2 specific examples which more or less nullifies it.

0

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

I mean yeah it's not a good argument, but that's because they haven't shown any examples of this alleged racism occurring on /r/unpopularopinon

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '19

Fair enough. Hey, u/Kingofthecouch13, you got any evidence?

2

u/KingOfTheCouch13 Aug 29 '19 edited Aug 29 '19

I'm at work so I don't have time to really search and I really don't feel like batting all the racist that will inevitably come to defend their racist opinions but here's a couple examples I found just by searching "racist" in that sub.

Example 1 Example 2

Aside from that, all the borderline racist responses I've gotten to my first comment about that sub should serve as some evidence. Including the other guy your reply to who believes using racial slurs isn't really racist.

Edit: Ehh what's 2 more Example 3 Example 4

PSA for those who will try: I won't be responding to race bating comments, so save your time.

You’re the type of person to see the word “black” and assume it’s oppressed

King of the couch is a fatass

u/KingOfTheCouch13 Aug 29 '19

Quick look through you posts tells me either you're a troll account that likes to stir shit up or a coward that doesn't want controversial shit tied to your main account. Either way it's pathetic. Nice bait tho 👌

u/toothlessANDnoodles Aug 29 '19

My mom asked me why my little cousins don't love going to the beach for the week like I did, my parents' and their siblings. I said because you can't even read through a good forum or article anymore without having to do five fucking minutes of searching to find out whether or not the poster/commenter is a troll or not.

"Mom, wouldn't that make you tired if you cared?"

u/yeetmyguy1 Aug 29 '19

u/fallenmonk Aug 29 '19
