This place is fucking sick.

I've become desensitized over the course of time in which I wasted away my life on this website.

Today some woman was brutally murdered, and the murdered posted photos on /b/ to brag about his evil deed.

He said that he was going to kill himself afterwards, too.

The woman was a fucking mother.

Can you fucking imagine what that boy will feel for the rest of his life once he discovered his mother's strangled naked body?

It's just so, so wrong.

I'm leaving this website for a while.

This place isn't doing any good for me.

Why can't you leave without making a thread about it?

>> No.5684996

I don't understand why you attribute the murder to "this place." Lots of people post here, most of us aren't ever going to murder anybody, and there isn't anything about this place that cultivates murderers.

Is that the cover of A Weekend in the City? I know it's generally regarded as pretty weak, but I remember really liking it. I should listen to it again; it's been years.

If this guy had posted on a more mainstream site like twitter or youtube it would have been a non-event.

But this site has a reputation as some subversive cesspool so prepare yourself for the bloody royal inquisition.

Also heres a list of stupid shit you are implying
>implying 4chan is the only place where this happens
>implying 4chan has some inordinately high frequency of fucked up shit
>implying the above implied point isn't just a result of a cognitive bias as a result of the fact that 4chan is well known
>implying people weren't tragically desensitised before the internet and 4chan existed
>implying people didn't brag about murders before the internet

you're like those fuckwits who blame marilyn manson for mass shootings

No, it's not the only place where that shit happens. But coming on this site habitually can make you a great deal more desensitized than just TV, mass media, and so on can alone.

4chan isn't unique as a source of fucked up and dehumanizing content, but it's a particularly potent example of the form.

This site has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content here you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. This is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and block this site. There is nothing here but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments here. Posters do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with greentext and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active commenters are loud jackasses who tumble into one internet fight after another, anxiously keeping ten tabs open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful post is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter this place you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

This place is not making you happy. You are not having fun. You are not gathering stories to tell, learning, or growing as a person. Instead you chuckle every thirty minutes and are occasionally spurred to masturbation by libidinal posts or pictures. You are addicted to readily available information and pressure free social interaction. This place is slowly poisoning you with misogyny, narcissism, a false dichotomy surrounding normalfags, and insecurity.

I'm not telling you to b urself. I'm not telling you to go outside. I'm not even telling you to make friends. Just leave 4chan. Do anything else.
