4chan had way more to do with that than reddit
8chan is literally just the shit that gets you kicked off other sites
not gonna be capn-save-a-reddit cuz that site is a cesspool in its own way but there's a pretty distinct difference there. Reddit is huge.

it's like comparing the Bronx to a single serial killer's murder dungeon in Flushing or something
i'm sure the comparison was made in good faith tho lol

please note that i ahve no idea what flushing is, i just heard it once, no offense to flushing, i'm sure you don't have any serial killer murder dungeons
point is, yeah, people get killed in both, but one's like... all about it

Oh sorry i thought 4chan was the bronx here, not the dungeon. My bad

I thought reddit was flushing and the dungeon was the bad subreddits

hahaha oh shit i didnt realize you legitimately didnt get my bad metaphor
it was a pretty poorly laid out metaphor i guess. for posterity reddit is a city and 8chan is a tiny bad room where ghosts live

My fault will. I should have known you weren’t saying that the historically black and latino bronx was like 8chan and the majority asian flushing was like reddit, even if there are a few dungeons here and there, because tjat would have been super racist and out of character.
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 15:51 (five years ago) link

― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link
i know so little about nyc that i didn't even know flushing was historically asian/that the bronx was historically black/latino! i just picked "place that is big, i think" and "place that has a funny name like toilets"
also is it weird that i'm happy that you thought this was "out of character" for me because that means i, uh, have posted enough on these boards in 12 years to have a character now? i mean, i'm also happy that you don't think i'm racist. but that was the second thing i was glad about and that is definitely weird

xp I'm not seeing that? Or rather, I'm seeing a lot of that, but a lot more of people pointing out that it's a dumb generic cliche - it gives me a little hope tbh.
Leee yeah but that particular line gets shouted down over the rest of the thread.

the game was listed on steam but not yet available to buy, has now been taken down by steam
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 7 March 2019 00:25 (five years ago) link
is it valve's lack of corporate structure that makes it so no one there can ever make the call on whether steam is a normal moderated storefront or a libertarian madhouse? this is like the 20th story on them waffling about allowing or removing problematic content in the past half year
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 March 2019 00:31 (five years ago) link
seems like they just let whatever go on there and then when complaints come in they take action, which doesn't seem like a super robust system

So, last week Zoe Quinn was one of a group of developers who had tweeted about allegations of abuse in the video game industry (new ones, for them).

Yesterday, the person they accused apparently committed suicide.
