After the Charlottesville protests and the guy ran everyone down with his car, I went to /b and it was flooded with messages telling everyone to attack more people with cars
I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I’d have a pretty solid opinion but as is I’d assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn’t be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can’t imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren’t just getting piled on.
I looked it up out of curiosity. The post acknowledges, or at least implies that 4chan users use more slurs, and doesn’t touch on racism otherwise.
For my part, I don’t think there’s a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.
Ah, r/unpopularopinion one of the subs I almost never visited cause 90% of the stuff on there was just plain stupid.

Yeah. I’d probably make the argument that 4chan is just open about the racism while other platforms like reddit have at least some enforcement leading to it being less blatant.
I’m sure as long as you aren’t a Jew or one of those very icky brown people 4chan is very welcoming

That’s exactly what any sane person would expect to see when looking at that cesspool at that time.
Reddit’s whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.
