I hate that I have this reaction; when I read things like this, I can't help but feel that you're a 14 year old who accidentally found your way into the adult Internet. Welcome! Please try to not be a jerk here. We aren't 4chan.

Your comment is superficially more polite than the typical 4chan post - but actually it's even less constructive (and perpetuates the horrible stereotyping of younger people). There's no way to respond - nothing to refute, not even anything helpful if you do agree.

8chan is still quite a niche forum when compared to the sheer size of 4chan. There are a lot of *chan forums out there with varying popularities. A handy resource for comparing these is https://nnmm.nl/chanstat/. A great example is comparing the most popular board of both forums /g/ (/tech/), /pol/, /v/ and /b/. I'm quite familiar with the drama that was happening half a year ago during GG and the /pol/ purge. Blaming such events on SJWs instead of the internal conflicts that have been going on on boards/across boards for ages is narrow minded.

That was certainly a really bad move—Obviously people were very pissed off.

The kind of people who deserve to be pissed off.

People like freedom of speech, actually.

Your "Freedom of speech" means you're free from Government persecution for speaking. That's significantly different to moderation on 4chan.
