I feel like you could make a better place than reddit/4chan if you could limit the ability of small, dedicated groups to brigade/drive discussion in the direction they want. The reality is the existence of people like /pol/ posters, and the willingness of those members to project their misanthropic abrasiveness everywhere else, is what drives bald-faced racism to be socially acceptable on 4chan. And don't say 'it just ironic', it's not, ironic racism is possible to do but is distinguishable from actual racism to people with a brain, you're not fooling anyone.

Says you, there' probably a lot of people on there that would surprise you, not every progressive or feminist has a stick up their rear end 24/7 about this poo poo. Also bald-faced racism and sexism happens here all the time, go check out the old thread on the fake college rape thing if you don't believe me.

Interestingly enough it has gotten a lot better during this time.

Like at least LF had a sense of humor about the whole thing.
