If you’re getting bullied in college you’re just doing it wrong.
Eventually you have to step back and wonder, “Am I just a piece of shit?”. Ask yourself this question, then look at your screen. Are you on 4chan? Do you have Pepe images on your post? If you answered yes to these questions, there’s a high probability that you’re just a piece of shit.
Reducing 4chan to its mediatic extremes is like reducing Reddit to the_donald or Lemmy to Hexbear.
This ignores that 4chan is widely known as the cesspool of the internet and attracts those types. It’s like going on Hexbear and being surprised at the communists. People gather where their banners are. Shit attracts shit. This reduction is apt.
Sure it kind of does some good ish things sometimes, but more often than not, it’s just an internet mob internet mobbing. That’s essentially all it is: chaos waves constantly crashing back in on itself. Any good that comes from it is incidental at best.
Also, defending 4chan on the wider Internet is a little odd, 4chan itself revels in its shit reputation…
Genuine question: What do you think I, as a member of the LGBT+ community, did wrong that resulted in being bullied while in college?
You didn’t press up down down left right up down on the d-pad when beginning college.
