What is the philosophy of 4chan? Is freedom truly at its core?

I thought Stormfags and other groups just tried to have an online campaign, and were able not to get banned here. So that's why they sort of have a foothold. For the most part, 4chan is an autistic website. Looking at /toys/ made me realise this for certain.

I like feet, but not exclusively. They just complete the female looks. It's not much weirder than looking at a womans ass or legs, but there are some differences... I've been into oral creampie and lesbian kissing porn lately. Maybe I've got some fixation or something, but I just find something really erotic about another person willingly doing things with their mouth. The mouth is very sensitive and I think that's the key. You can taste and smell anything that's in your mouth and feel the texture too. I also think feet are nice because they're so sensitive. Our feet have been protected by our socks and shoes which made our skin less thick and more sensitive. Nipples are the same. They even get hard when a woman is aroused. Focusing on how thicc a woman is interests me less than these things. Liking her curves is more about grabbing them than touching their sensitive areas. Grabbing is more rough. I don't mind curves, but I'm more into petite girls because they're less intimidating. What I've learned from this is that I think more about female pleasure and how fragile women are when I think about sex than about anything else. This doesn't mean that I'm not into rough sex though. You can be rough with fragile things with no problem. The whole point is that she can be easily pleased which then makes me feel more up to the task. Maybe I should work on my feeling of security or something.

10669450

In a community where anonymity is the norm, social pressure becomes ineffectual. Without ties to a person's real world identity, without real world consequences for ones behavior, the lessening of inhibitions becomes inevitable. All boundaries put in place by a society to limit ones psychopathic tendencies melt away. There is no limit to what a man in this environment can do. He can ridicule anything. Not a single thing is beyond reproach. Nothing is sacred.

But the lack of real world consequences is a lie. His mind has been subtly altered by his lack of restraint, already these extreme ideas and behaviors have become more ordinary to him; they are being normalized: he will show even less hesitation next time. Worse still, refraining from contributing to the discussion will not save one from this effect; just by reading the thoughts of others, and being exposed to these radical ideas, one is already becoming desensitized to them. One's own reservations over the extremity of these ideas will fade away and eventually he may even join the conversation.

This normalization of extreme views is not unique to 4chan. It is most noticeable here, due its size and lack of registration and usernames, but it is happening everywhere. All over the internet, websites with pseudo-anonymity and even no anonymity(!), are slowly becoming more and more tolerant of these radical viewpoints as more and more peoples minds have become desensitized and dis-inhibited by the ease of instant communication.

All this will come to a head when rioters take these extreme ideas to the streets. They will see no reason to protect the institutions that provided them with the comforts of the modern age. They will destroy everything. And the survivors will look upon the ashes of the remnants of the world and wonder "Where did it all go so wrong?" But we will know. Deep down, we will know where it all went so wrong.

Catharsis. That's what I say when I explain the appeal of a website where half the people are racists and all of them are assholes.

We're anonymous, so we're not constrained by conventional social laws. Yeah, it ends in a lot of bullshit, but I'm pretty sure 80% of us are actually perfectly nice people IRL, but here, he can just tell someone with a stupid opinion that you want to kill him with a rock and that's fine. It's just nice to have a part of your life where you don't have to put on an act. It doesn't mean that the rest of life is bad because of it, but it's just nice to take a break and cuss at strangers.

Both sides seem to be under the same illusion that after we take all the necessary steps or certain necessary events take place humanity will return to or enter a new more perfected state free from the troubles of the old, as if history doesn't repeat itself or as if we will ever escape the toil of politics.
