E: well, there are actually more recent examples listed here:

E2: they also always start rumours that result in hundreds of broken iPhones, like when they said you could charge iPhone 6 by heating it up in a microwave. Some people consider it a good thing, I guess.

That's fair. I suppose in general it's a combination of anonymity + no consequences for your actions, not just one or the other. If you get banned on Twitter, or 4chan or whatever, you can just reset your IP and sign back up in 2 minutes. Compare with SA for example, if you get banned you're suddenly $10 in the hole.

Uhm, Lowtax is foreverially hell-banned from twitter. He can't re-reg even from a different country, lol.

Here in the UK we have a group called "Gays Against Sharia" who are about the closest thing we'll get to actual gay neo-nazis. All they do is march "against Sharia" while buddying up with other fringe extreme-right groups in the UK. Super racist gays are totally a thing.

Tommy English, an ex-leader of EDL's LGBT division, was miraculously cured of gayness a couple of years ago.

I've heard people who work on the tweeest of cartoons, like Steven Universe and such, still go on 4chan and even occasionally leak stuff there, and their fans there civilly engage with them. In conclusion, 4chan is a land of contrasts.

It was really, really funny when posting cartoon ponies made absolutely everyone on the entire troll hive lose their poo poo and whine to the mods every single time. It was trolling on easy mode.

Pissing in an ocean of piss.

I guess people who frequented the beer hall where Hitler and other nazis organised their putsch, could have just gone to a different pub instead of complaining about nazis taking over their favourite place.

doxxing was a thing on 4ch long before /pol/ so it's never gna truly go away. But it didn't used to be malicious (overtly malicious, that is. any doxxing is dumb and bad even if you're doing it for a 'good' cause or what the gently caress ever) 99% of the time like it is now.

/pol/ is cancer cut it out or burn the whole thing down or both

I remember when 4chan doxxing was about ordering forty cheese pizzas to your address, not, like, swatting and other serious poo poo.

Boards dictate what people the site attracts as a whole, and boy you don't want to attract more /pol/ types. And it's not like Lowtax never removed certain subforums. People can barely stand D&D, imagine if we still had LF, lmao.

Is this a duckroll?
