The Terrorists of 4chan

[riqster]

246. I have been in IT since the the 70's, and know a bit about how the Internet works.

No apology will be coming from me, because I specifically identified the users involved. And as a father, I can tell you that my language would have been a lot more vulgar had a bunch of dickless, pimple-popping, woman-hating, kiddie-porn addicted, semi-literate, money-grubbing, narcissistic, chicken-shit keyboard commandos sent terroristic threats at MY daughters.

Note this, back on topic: in your libertarian zeal to defend an Internet resource that allowed said users to do these acts, you are forgetting that they are not victims. Women are.

4chan is not a victim. They set up their little corner of the Internet as a free and open space. They get praised, and they get vilified for their choice to allow such behavior. Since they freely chose to set it up that way, 4chan is not a victim. Emma Watson IS a victim, because she did not make a choice to be threatened by 4chan users.

The terrorist little fucksticks who sent the threats out are not victims, because they freely chose to act in a terroristic manner, and are dealing with the consequences of their choice. Emma Watson IS A VICTIM, because she did not make a choice to be threatened by 4chan users.

So while you wring your hands over the fate suffered by the willing participants in the affair, you noticeably care nothing for fate of the unwilling victim thereof.

That is most revealing, I must say.
