4chan was also, for years, not a mainstream site. That helps too.
I don't know the exact figures, but the 4chan userbase increased drastically during the presidential campaign. I'd wager that 70% of people on /pol/ weren't posting on 4chan before 2015.

4chan hilariously never got half the poo poo Reddit did for its pedos, because while they're out and proud there there's no moderator position to appoint them to.

So this guy is not actually a client, just very good friend whoI have been helping over the years try to find his parents in my spare time.

This is important.

He is white, and his wife is black.

In my investigation I learned that the baby was put up for infant adoption by his bio parents. Over the years I was able to track down the information. I will not say how and everyone will probably understand why soon.

The medical records list the parents by first name only, but that gave me a starting point. It took a few years but I learned the name of his dad and it scared the hell out of me. I confirmed it a month ago, his dad is the same dad as his wife.

I quickly buried everything I had and have not told him or his wife yet. I then tried to find out how a marriage license was issued as I know they check adoption records to avoid this very thing, but quickly found out the answer. A county clerk got lazy when she saw the mixed race couple and did not do her due diligence. This was a cheap JP wedding with a license issued in just a few days back in the early 2000s. I can understand why this happened as most people would not believe a white man and a black woman are brother and sister. Well half b/s anyways.

I know that I probably have a obligation to tell them. I know the father as well and have been avoiding him recently. I am concerned about the legal ramifications in all of this. Obviously the marriage would be annulled, but what about their 2 kids? They have a 17 year old boy and a 14 year old girl.

This is going to ruin the lives of 5 people here, possibly more.

Moral obligations aside, do I have a legal requirement to report this? He was never a paid client so I have no contractual obligations to him.

Basically I am just wondering how and where to proceed, or even if to proceed.

My only worry would be any potential issues those poor kids may have. Is it ethical to keep possible genetic issues from them?

I mean yeah if you're trying to keep a community somewhat sane, it makes sense to shut down the crazy dude wandering in, throwing open his trenchcoat and revealing his dick while crying PUNCH IT HARDER

I know the risks are very low, I just always worry with the higher chance of bad recessive genes meeting up since it's more likely in the same gene pool. Like Tay Sachs. But I am probably an anxious goon in that regard.

Yeah reddit moderation is weird, every little sub is its own fiefdom with its own entire system. Some places will just be like "I banned you for breaking this sub's golden rule, the Mike rule, I'm mike and I don't think the pun in you user name is funny so bye" while others will ban people and shut down threads for just as arbitrary and capricious reasons but try to dress the whole process up as this very serious matter of internet rule of law and bureaucratic process.

Oh you'd be wrong. It was a while back but there was the story of the black woman who found her white fiance was watching some really racist humiliation porn (like tons of it) and then tried to call her his slave and force her head down. She bit his dick, threw his engagement ring in the garbage and got the gently caress out, and all the white people she thought were her friends were trying to defend him and guilt get into giving him another chance.

There was a similar story a while back but it was the black wife who wanted her white husband to call her racial slurs, call her a slave, etc. during sex but freaked the gently caress out when he actually did it because it turns out dehumanizing poo poo can be...you know...dehumanizing.

Let's be honest, I knew she was a little silly when I interviewed to rent a bedroom in a bay area California home. But she was friendly enough and her husband seemed cool so I figured it should be fine if I kept to myself. Following another roommate nightmare where the douchbag gets us both evicted on my first month there, I was in a desperate hurry to find a place in a market that does not favor those with lower incomes. $700 for a room in a house that lets you use the kitchen is a good deal here, to give you an idea how bad it is.

She found me through Craigslist. I put up a semi-ranty ad about how I need a place now because of the last rear end in a top hat roommate. So she took pity on me and selected me as the one to live with her and her husband after an interview. She played angel of mercy as she promised my search for a good home was at an end and my stress was over. She laid it on pretty thick but regardless of her intent, the numbers didn't lie. Cheap rent, cheap security, decent room.

Day 1, she screams at my movers. They showed up about 10 minutes before me. When I got there, one of them mustered the best English he could to tell me my new master tenant was messed up in the head.

She sits me down with the rental agreement. Movers can't bring anything in until it's signed. It takes a half hour and 50 more dollars to the movers for their time. I get moved in. I try to set up. She won't stop talking to me. Won't leave me alone. Won't shut the gently caress up. I left a large storage container in an out-of-the-way corner in the large kitchen. Took a short break. Came back and she's sitting me down to discuss if I think it's appropriate to leave things laying around in the kitchen. Oh poo poo.

I discovered the closet reeked of cat piss. She denied it being "the cat's room" as I suggested it may have been. When I lifted the corner of the carpet where it also smelled a little catty, I found cat litter. God drat why didn't I inspect the room better? I let it go. I was already beginning to see the writing on the wall and couldn't afford another gently caress-over just yet.

Told me I couldn't get mail at the address because she was hiding me from her uncle who does the taxes. Claimed she told me this up front, did not.

Originally we agreed to split the cost of TP. When I saw she uses a roll a day on her fat rear end and I use a roll a week, I backed out of that agreement and bought my own toilet paper. I was upfront about it. After that she stopped putting a roll of TP on the dispenser. She also hides the paper towels from me even though I always have my own.

Agreed that I would have to receive certain bits of mail. Sends all my mail back to the post office because I "didn't keep my word" because other mail came during the time between the time I started forwarding and the time I changed the forwarding to my work address.

Demanded cash only for rent payments, again, hiding from the uncle.

Her uncle gave her the rental agreement papers.

Came to me in an obvious near-panic, wringing her hands and indirectly, passive-aggressively accusing me of being spiteful and rude for not keeping steam off of the mirror after my shower. (The steam on the mirror rots the wood of the cabinet. I found out also that the steam that forms on the cabinet itself, however, does not. No point in trying to reason with the insane.) I did point out that she needed only tell me what she wants and accusing me of being spiteful won't help the situation. She denied any such accusation, and while tugging at her hair and wringing her hands madly, asserted that I don't know her well enough to read her body language. O. loving. K. Lady.

Locked me in the garage for starting a load of wash at noon. When I tried to open the door, then knocked, she opened the door and said to be careful not to lock myself in. It was a dead-bolt lock.

Wrote me long 3-page notes about not wanting to be my mom because there were water droplets left on the bathroom sink.

Was mad that my shower caddy wasn't white.

Was unhealthily pleased that I bought a toilet brush.

Feeds 15 stray cats every day on the front porch. Puts cat food under my car and hers.

Is obsessed with me being ultra-tidy, and I mean not a speck of wetness on the kitchen sink tidy. Doesn't keep tidy herself. On day 2 the house smelled like the worst rancid trash I could remember due to her green-waste bin.

I asked if her husband needed help in the garage when I heard a 15 minute struggle while trying to change a fuse. She wrote a fierce note about questioning his ability. (He is partially crippled from a brain-stem injury.) When I spoke to him, he explained he was struggling to move boxes out of the way of the fuse box. She stood and watched him struggle, but my offering to help was a huge insult.

Day 1, she asked me not to slam the screen door. I was sure I didn't. Days 2 and 3 I was very quiet. She came to me again about slamming the door. Days 15-20, I closed the door like a ninja surgeon. I got another frustrated and rambling note about waking them every day slamming the door. When I saw her, I explained it must be a different noise, we should find out what it was so I can stop it. I took her to the door. I went to show her exactly how I closed it. "YOU'RE DOING THIS!!" she said, and slammed the screen. Now I'm sick of her. "I'm not going to be able to do anything for you if you're just going to make up reasons to yell at me." "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?????" She shouts as her normally vapid looking eyes come to life with rage.

Continuing this, her husband, who is really a super cool guy but whipped servant of the harpy, comes out to calm her down. He tries to mediate our argument. In the discussion I told her I was tired of being accused of maliciousness every time I walked in and out the door. She menaced towards me, approaching my personal space. Fearing the worst I pull out my phone to video. She starts to taunt me, telling me to be a man. Hot button issue with me.

Now impassioned, I tell her sternly about how I won't have her speak to me that way. I told her about how I just got out of a relationship in which I constantly received the same kind of verbal abuse. "I wonder why." She says. "Because she was a lovely person." I replied.

And now she doesn't talk to me. At all. Will not be in the same room. Pretends to be startled and scared if we cross paths. Acts like a 10-year-old. She's loving nuts. That's been going on for 2 months.

So yeah, I'm moving. 2 days left here. Thankfully her husband is such a swell fella or I would be terrified.

I think this next lady is normal.. 3 other males living there, all clean cut looking kids who've been there over a year. Wish me luck.
