The Terrorists of 4chan

[Kurska]

221. 4chan is no more responsible than twitter.

The website was not hosted by 4chan, there is no evidence that any actual 4channers were involved. In fact, 4chan is an open and anonymous image board so any negative material that did originate directly from 4chan very well could have come from the marketing firm itself. Most of the threats were actually delivered via twitter, not 4chan (I find it doubtful Emma Watson goes on 4chan, so threatening her there would be rather useless if the intent is to frighten her).

The only thing you can prove that ties 4chan directly to this sideshow is their name, which we now know was indisputably used without their permission for a money making scheme by outsides who don't care if 4chan burns or thrives.

So no 4chan is not anymore culpable in this than twitter or Facebook would be. Frankly, you called them terrorists, you degraded and insulted them in rather crude ways ("What a bunch of needle-d***ed, wussy, woman-hating, terrorist jerkoffs" sound familiar?). You continue to attempt to tie people who you CAN NOT PROVE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS and are best described as secondary victims, to the crime, it is getting old.

An apology to those you have insulted would probably be far better, I somehow doubt one is coming.
