Something needs to be done about /gif/

In my time browsing 4chan, I've found many great gifs from /gif/ boards.  While venturing in there is never safe, there's usually always a piece of gold in the pile of poo there.  (the star wars force shops make me lol)

But now, the stuff in there has reach a new level of f%#kin disgusting.  Close ups of gay sex with hairy balls, traps with old women, weird redneck guys with some sorta testicle enlargement devices?

Not to mention the recent flood of gay porn, while I'm fine with people being gay, I don't wanna see them stick it in eachothers poopers (or having sex with watermelons).

You can say "just don't click on the ones that you don't wanna see" but it's filled with so many damn traps that I'm not sure what it is I wanna see anymore.

There should be a place where people can post porn gifs, and another place for anime/funny/clean gifs, which would be moderated.

Hope that a janitor cleans gif, if not...god help us all

Just don't go to gif anymore if it offends your homophobic asses, 4chan is 18+ only and not fucking safe for work, it is the nature of ANONYMOUS IMAGEBOARDS you won't be able to change it no matter how much you whine you little fucking babies, go back to gaia.

faggot

Man, this crap is getting really out of hand.  /gif/ used to be great!  I got all of my funny shit off of there.  Now, all that is posted is porn (and the same fucking god damn gifs every single time) and Hentai (see porn).  So I dont know, its just getting really retarded.

Yeah, 4chan barely has any rules. Racists are allowed to be racist, people take shits on eachother and post pictures of it, others enjoy posting pictures of mutilated corpses and animals. Some moderation is needed.. It drives a way a lot of the smart and originally funny people. I barely browse 4chan anymore because of the shitpile it has become. The people who run the site don't really give a fuck, they just let it fester like a stinking wart.

the people who run the site are sulky little weeaboos brooding in chat, trying to get over how much their 2ch emulation has failed in the arse.  the realisation that trying to replicate an e-culture is an utterly doomed idea from the outset provides them only with that very cold comfort of experience.

the malcontents have no more ideas left, and are content to flame and ban anyone who ventures into chat asking questions with too many vertices.

you can xerox another country's e-culture till the cows come home; you can force your jap memes via irc-coordinated floodfaggotry;  you can institute all manner of shitty 2ch wordfilters until 4chan's userbase takes them into the board's mythography; the american contingent, especially, can keep lounging its own lack of cultural self-esteem, blissfully ignorant of the fact that japanese mass-media is just as fuckgay.

4chan needs major reform, both structurally and ideologically. i don't even think that's debatable.  4chan has to stop thinking of itself as The Place Where You Can Play 2ch But In English, but instead The Place Where You Can Come For a Laugh, A Fap, An Argument and a Spam. 

there needs to be MORE moderation.  there needs to be a motherfucking PHOTOSHOP BOARD.  and i never, ever, EVER thought i'd find myself saying this, but 4chan has to develop a degree of genuine internationality.  because since its inception, essentially all this futaba (whatever-it's-called) forum phenomenon has been is: japan and the us, --balls perennially touching--.

It looks to me like the same person posting over and over again here. I'll re-iterate what >>3 said, but a bit more politely.

The very nature of an anonymous posting board is that people can pretty much post whatever they want without fear of reprisal. Some of the things that people may post here might offend you. Some of them are posted simply BECAUSE it offends some people, some of it is posted because the person posting it genuinely believes that it is a funny image that other people should see and laugh at.

The bottom line is if you don't like it, go elsewhere. I personally like the relative anarchy that is 4chan. I even spend a fair amount of time on /b/ and enjoy that to a degree. Do I like everything that's posted? No. Am I offended by some of it? Yes, very much so. I find many of the posts there rascist to an intense degree, and also find the child porn that appears there on occasion to be disgusting.

Sure, I'd rather not see that crap. But at the same time, I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING INTO WHEN I GO THERE. I know there's a good chance that I'm going to be offended by some of the stuff I see, and I personally support people's right to post whatever they want to on the 18+ boards. This includes /gif/ as well, where the only rule (aside from the site-wide rules) are that all images must be animated.

If you don't like it, then find another site to download your animated gifs from. Don't muddy up my 4chan with your unneccessary rules.

You're a stupid dickhead.  The only board that shouldn't have rules is /b/.

>>7 is correct. 4chan is full of japan-worshipping faggots. The thing what makes 2chan so great and popular is that there people can be who the fuck they want to be, completely ignorant of the inside slang used, without having anything to worship. Just being themselves.

And then six years later...
