If you compare this list to the types of posts you see on Facebook/Twitter etc. then it's actually quite diverse. I'm not advocating for the good of those topics, but the argument against 4chan is usually "this should never be talked about anywhere". Credit where credit is due: 4chan contains discussions of topics you will not and cannot find on mainstream social media.

I have never seen this kind of content on Twitter or Facebook, in my own feeds or in trending topics. I would have to actively look. I have however seen a ton of real diverse content from a diverse group of people. This is a lie that where the intent is to downplay the white supremacist content.

I think you missed the point. Of course this stuff isn't on Facebook and Twitter. Which means the precence of 4chan actually increases the diversity of content on the Internet.

Having WS content does not "increase the diversity".
It really fucking sucks that you're in my industry.
