What? It was originally a forum for users of a wiki about Chris Chan. It's purpose is more about documenting what exists and discussing it. It's never been about trolling others or harassing people.

It's always been about trolling and harassing. Why are you defending them?

That is not the point of the site.

>Why are you defending them?

Because I've been a member of communities where outsiders inaccurately describe the community to others making it seem like something it isn't.

'Documenting' the existence of a socially maludjusted grown man so they can laugh at him and coordinate gaslight efforts definitely counts as harassment.

It's always been like this

Laughing at someone isn't harassment. Organizing gaslighting efforts happens off platform and is discouraged by the community. There is no way to control what happens off platform. Josh isn't able to mind control everyone to not do it.

Laugh at her*

Just because they misgender her doesn’t give you permission to do it.
