Just because you're comfortable with racial and homophobic slurs in most posts, doesn't mean it's not hateful.
I detest Elon and xitter as much as anyone, but there is zero comparison. If anything, it just shows how far you've gone.
I checked one of those site traffic estimators and got 2 to 2.5 mil monthly views for 4chan vs 120 mil for twitter. So if every single 4chan user was a nazi, it would only take about 2% of twitter being nazis to equal that. Seems like there might be more nazis on twitter these days tbh.
Maybe more, but every other post on xitter doesn't use the n word. You cannot compare just numbers. Actions are key. 4chan is a cesspool.
Are you trying to argue that twitter isn't a shithole?
No. I'm making it clear equating the 2 ain't right. It looks like you're trying to defend and normalise 4chan.
To try and say, "yeah, there is racial slurs, but it's great for culture" is trying to justify unacceptable views.
To be fully explicit, xitter sucks and you shouldn't use that either.
To me I don't see them defending 4chan at all. I see you defending Twitter.
Have you even read the full thread?
"I detest Elon and xitter as much as anyone, but there is zero comparison. If anything, it just shows how far you've gone."
Do you understand what detest means?
Why folk defend a place that is full of racial slurs is beyond me? Unless they're racist and homophobic, that is.
You are dead wrong if you think there is zero comparison.
