I decided to check out this "/b/" that many people are talking about on here. Just a few minutes ago, on the front page alone, I saw a thread dedicated to natural women in demeaning poses, an anti-Semitic symbol, a mockery of Islam, racist images and language, jokes about rape, a drawing of a prepubescent girl being violated by foreign objects, advocation for substance abuse, gambling, references to violent video games, derogatory terms for minority sexual preferences, drawings of sexual intercourse between anthropomorphic animals, photos of mutilated human bodies, threats towards an ex-girlfriend, and all-around negativity.
What does ``trigger warning'' even mean any more? I used to post on BUS-list in the 90s, where it meant a depressing post that could cause the reader to self-harm. Now what does it mean? ``Potentially offensive''?
>>1 at the risk of suffering the wrath of anon, It is the global Cry for Attention, nay Help. And yet in the depths of denial, any who might actually offer it will be sorely rejected, in fear of being the victim of yet another victim.
And so, while they would have you believe it is all just a joke, the real joke is it is all true lies and denial.
condolences

LOL newfag its the INTERNET HATE MACHINE for a reason
You COMPLETELY miss the point of /b/. /b/ is not Fark "oh hay guys i found a cute link ha ha." /b/ is not Slashdot's psuedo-intellectual discussion. /b/ is not Livejournal, SuicideGirls, or HotOrNot. /b/ is a place for people to be monsters- the horrible, senseless, uncaring monsters that they really are.
Tsunami owns the Asian continent and we laugh. Psychotic emo takes his sickness out on a cat and we laugh. People mutilate themselves for no apparant reason and we laugh. Suicide, homocide, genocide- we laugh. Racism, sexism, discrimination, xenophobia and baseless hate- we laugh. We are mindless "me-too"ism; we are irrational preference; we are pointless flame wars; we are the true face of the internet.
