That’s where ADD is helpful. “Oh I want that! *gets distracted and never thinks about it again*”

It’s absolutely a cultural issue, and as you implied, there’s really no silver-bullet to fixing that. Telling harassers and abusers to “stop xyz” has never worked, because for the most part, they don’t see their actions as being bad. And even when they reach the point where they can acknowledge the gravity of their…

You do realize that people that harass people aren’t just doing it for the sexual kicks? A lot of times it’s just about power. Some may be doing it because they are just horny, but a lot of men do it to women because they know they won’t get in trouble and even just making someone uncomfortable makes them feel like…

One frustrating thing I’ve learned from experience: no matter how well liked you are, no matter how good your reputation, there’s always the chance that people will turn on you for talking. We once had someone on staff that... pretty much everyone who worked with him agreed that some of his behaviours were alarming;…

I think your points are generally good, but it is important to distinguish that this stuff isn’t really just about being a horny fucker. Its at least partly a bullying kind of thing.

Now that people are getting taken down for these injustices at a rapid rate, hopefully something in peoples’ brains click and they realize they don’t get a free pass for their actions. I hope there is a very real sense of dread about what they are doing if ever they even think about anything like this, just as there…

Nintendo really hates things they can’t control with a wrinkled executive’s iron fist.

Never been to 4chan. Never gonna either.

The trolls grew up and got political

Like the article says, it came from World of Warcraft. If you were in a different faction whose language your character didn’t command in their skillset and someone typed “LOL” their character’s chat bubble would say: “KEK”. I forget exactly which factions. It re-arranged or substituted letters and words for common…

Just don’t go on /pol/ or... that board. /bant/ is fine.

They got bored of pretending to be trolls and decided to do it in real life. They “claim” the are doing it for laughs but there is nothing funny about hate speech, real or otherwise.

The other way round, the alt-right is a 4chan thing.

If you got the time this is an interesting article looking at the cross section of 4chan and alt-right troll behavior. https://medium.com/@DaleBeran/4chan-the-skeleton-key-to-the-rise-of-trump-624e7cb798cb

Glad they’re on top of this. If anybody thinks this is censorship, please let us all know exactly what expression is being suppressed here. The original design seems pretty meaningless, unless it was intended to resemble the flag (which Bungie denies).
