Yeah. I've never been on 4chan, but knowing it's reputation, this place is probably more than a bit different. But welcome. Just be chill and be thoughtful. You might like it here. :)
It's not that bad. It teaches you patience. People are mean and all have their own opinions. I did enjoy the fact that anyone can say anything. Free speech and all that. Just a shame that most of the free speech is called spam.
I feel like this bodes well with an article I was reading today about how CBC might make people use real names when commenting which personally I think is great. A lot of other people seem to think it has an effect on free speech, which I find ridiculous because if people don't want to have their opinions associated with them... Why have them ? IIRC on 4chan you don't even have a profile to associate with comments. Here you're actually a person really. This site really is more of a community in the sense that you actually get to know the people here. It's not a huge cluster fuck like other larger sites which is one of the main things people enjoy about this site. It is at least one of the main things I enjoy. I'm guessing your comment just seemed out of place at first because everybody else knows tng. Like if somebody critiqued my paintings me and my friend would probably laugh, because I just paint to spend time doing something constructive so I can justify binge watching netflix. Just a bunch of amatuers enjoying life really, I'm sure you'll find a place here. :) Welcome.
