So, this is just to everyone from the video who has come here as a curiosity:

That video is a complete misrepresentation of our community. Not only is it 3 years old and looks at a single thread, but it lacks any nuance in how it views groups of people and instead lumps everyone into a single camp. Also, for someone who is making a business out of layering his internet persona in sarcasm, he fails to perceive it in text when reading what is very clearly and obviously a joke thread, although I get that he wouldn't see that if he hadn't been here a while.

In fact, I'd say it's a video caked in irony. You can only be so sincere about making fun of a community and making false generalizations about groups.

Yeah, there's people here that say the n word and people here are toxic, but anonymity can afford you deeply valuable criticism just as much as it can provide a straight up dumpster fire. It's a blessing and a curse. Seriously. I'm reminded of when Simon (aka teal line guy) was around for a while and someone coalesced all of his shit into a single imgur album and a shit ton of people were in awe at how great the criticism was, only to be bitter that it all came from 4chan.

In short: don't be such judgemental cunts because we're different from you. Like, god damn, most of us are people, too, and we didn't ask for this douchebag to make a false exposé on us based off an old bait thread.
