> and they have also driven people to suicide

As has Reddit, Facebook, etc.

Bad things occasionally happening on a platform doesn't make the platform/site inherently bad.



weird combination of "what about" and misinterpreting my comment.


Not really when you were holding up causing suicide as why it's bad when every high traffic social network has done that.


yes, you are repeating the "what about" part. my comment has literally nothing to do with other social networks.

if it helps, feel free to apply the original quote to facebook or whatever when they do something good. but this article and comment chain is about 4chan. so i am talking about 4chan.


"Whataboutism" is just the cry of people upset others disagreed with their stance in a way they disliked.


lol, what are you talking about? i said i was reminded of a quote, that is it. no one disagreed, they just said “other people do it too” and put words in my mouth so they could argue about something.

like, what “stance” do you think i am even trying to take?
