People have a right to be offended and the offender has a right not to care. I certainly don't endorse 4chan culture but it's different from what you think.

What is it that you think "I think" 4chan's culture is?

I am saying that 4chan is not a safe place if you are black or most minorities. Period. I don't care what 4chan's culture is because it doesn't matter for the sake of this point.

And what everyone else is saying is that you're wrong. Just like the article writer who thinks they know everything about 4chan without going on it, you presume a lot about the site that just isn't true. Calling names on 4chan isn't really an insult. It's just the way everyone talks to each other. And race or gender isn't really relevant, and you'll get called racial slurs no matter your background.

I know what you're saying, and I'm telling you that you're incorrect. 4chan is not a safe space for anyone, minorities are not special in this regard.

A safe place? It’s not like they can slap you over tcp/ip. I think you take the internet too seriously, and are disrespectful of other people’s opinions.
