Who got death and rape threats when they removed NSFW content from comments.

Definitely one of the creepier parts of that "community" is their obsession with her. In good times they act like she's literally jesus and as soon as things turn sour.. well, yeah.

I think the reason I'm still visiting imgur (apart from occasional funny pictures) is morbid curiosity. Nearly every day you'll find outrageous poo poo on the front page (admittedly, often straight from reddit) and it's like a zoo of lovely people in there, so it has the same appeal as the PYF AUG thread just that you're instead watching them in their natural habitat :allears:

This seems to be the norm for Imgur nowadays. Racist poo poo gets a free ride to the front page, normal humans slam it in the comments for existing. Unless they can justify why those drat uppity blacks don't deserve respect or women are prudish whores!

It's actually even weirder. If you find an incredibly sexist post it'll undoubtedly have comments decrying the poster of being a shithead, but if you find a post about gender equality or the like you'll have a wall of posts calling the poster a slut whore tumblr feminazi. I guess it shows how unified their "community" is :shrug: Whenever an opinion has the majority, just like reddit, the opposing opinion quickly gets downvoted to the "bad comment section" and hidden from regular viewing.

So I just found out on imgur that there has been a massive explosion in China and hundreds are injured, at least 13 dead. What does imgur have to say? Same thing they say every time anything remotely Asian gets posted

"Ho Lee Fuk"
"Sum Ting Wong"
"Ho Ree Sheet"

Oh boy it's time for more rampant racism on the imgur front page!

"N*gga tellin' da trut"


Previous gems by the same poster include;
Talking about how "the multicultural experiment" has failed in Europe because of filthy immigrants
Quotes from Varg Vikernes
Lashing out at "gypsies and jews" for ruining the western civilization
Misogynistic rants

..and more!


Aside from being low-hanging fruit, I don't see why pointing out poo poo like this on imgur is such a horrible thing :shrug:

"You'll find that it's actually the non-whites who are the real racists :smug:"

In unrelated news, apparently there was some woman who raped a kid and didn't get a very harsh sentence and now imgur is on the case to tell you that this is proof feminism is actually misandry and they were right about the feminazi gestapo all along.


Also, this nugget:

"the only legitimately funny female gamer"
The only experience I have with her is people being creepy about her and posting 200-picture galleries with comments on how they need to "unzip, brb" on imgur. Hell, the second top comment is a gif of her bouncing her leg that gets reposted several times a week because people thinks she's masturbating :negative: Burn "gaming culture" to the ground.

Front page edit: Wow, Front page? PM me your nudes. Jk, don't really, I'll feel bad


But it doesn't stop there.

So I saw this confession bear (http://imgur.com/gallery/sYhpFks) this morning of a guy who took his best friend's phone and figured I should finally confess... Senior year of high school, my best friend started dating this girl that we had both had a crush on FOREVER, and she is REALLY hot. Freshman year of college, my phone broke and I bought his old Droid II off of him to hold me over for a while. He restored the phone to the factory settings (thinking that would erase everything) and for $20 it was mine. Not less than two days later I was looking at pictures of my long time crush completely naked. I downloaded a program called Wondershare Data Recovery and used it to restore EVERY SINGLE ONE of his old files. When you delete files (or restore a phone to factory settings), the phone does not actually *delete* the files, it just makes them unaccessible. They only disappear if your phone/computer writes something over those files. So since he wiped it and sent it to me, I restored all of the old files perfectly and now have 37 beautiful pictures on my laptop. This has been my confession. And a how to. Or a how not to, depending on who you are. FP Edit: Send me more nudes. Or golden retrievers.

I'm not sure I can elucidate how this is racist, but it sure does feel racist to me, or at the very least really gross and weird. And there's definitely some good ol fashioned racist gems in the comments, certainly:

maybe I'm being nitpicky and oversensitive? idk. i feel like some of this post is crossing over into a "look at this beautiful exotic creature" sorta thing

Nah, the post is gross as heck.

Also, my eyes literally rolled out of my head and are currently making their way across the floor at this part:

It's misused and a meme because people take great offense to trigger warnings and make fun of it (ironically), not the other way around. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I don't see why you'd put the blame on "SJWs" for putting trigger warnings on things and not the assholes who don't take you seriously.


Much like "tumblrite feminazi" stuff, much of the outrageous "triggered" stuff you see everywhere is produced by 4chan and the like in an attempt at mocking "SJWs" for daring to call them out on being assholes. :shrug:
