All the posts were on topic and related to politics, news was discussed, anything happening
around the world was talked about in detail.

I think he must be trolling.
/pol/ was one of the biggest boards on 4chan and teasing it was an easy way of getting a rise out
of people. Calling racist people from /pol/ was an easy way of fucking with people.
Of course there were some though that disagreed with /pol/ and saw the trolls and thought that
they were in company. These people became brainwashed to believe that /pol/ was a racist bad
place.
It's funny to think that 4chan could become anti free speech.

Maybe the first year or so, ever since it has become just another meme generator. Furthermore
they bleed out into the internet worse than /b/ now. At least the idiots there tend to stick to
themselves and never look at another board. /pol/ couldn't keep their shit to themselves and Moot
took the safety rails off. /pol/ has perfect freedom now from censorship, that just happens to
mean that everything is complete shit. /pol/ was and is shit, always has been, and is nothing
more than /b/ with politics and more racism.

Wow, you're such a revolutionary
I just saw /pol/ as all the shithead baitists who've been on 4chan since they were teenagers
growing up and getting really partisan, because it just gives them another new venue to lick
their teeth and say a bunch of vitriolic shit that they know will piss someone off
But it falls closer within the lines of conventional "politics" now, so it's more legitimate!, so
fuck off nerd ;^), I'm not a troll anymore, I'm an adult!
Political opinion on 4chan has always been motivated by one thing: righteous indignation
Not "conservatism" or "liberalism" or any of that tired shit
/pol/ just picked a side and started yelling, because someone yelled back

It's not, though.
Sure, it's got "culture", just like every other board. If you never spent anytime there, you
would only see "le happy merchant" and "le nigger" memes.
If you actually bothered to stick around, outside of the cuckhold and Ben Garrison threads, the
place was right up there with /sci/ in terms of actual evidence to support points.
The fact that there were two "le happy merchant" didn't detract from the factual posts. If the
facts don't fit with your ideology, then your ideology is shit.

/pol/ performed a very unique role and brought in some very interesting views. I actually think
moot probably should have made a /leftypol/ like 7+1 chan and both could become fairly extreme
with their discussions.
It sounds to me like you are against discussing politics. Also a lot of people if they saw a view
they didn't agree with outside of /pol/ they would attribute it to /pol/.
I remember when /new/ and /r9k/ were first formed and they quite quickly became some of my
favourite and most popular boards. Times change and 4chan changes, stop going on about "hurr durr
cancer". Even if you loathe /pol/ to think that sabotaging a functioning board and make it shit
like moot has done is a good thing is insane.
I think that the right wing is going to be the revolutionary counter culture of the coming 20s
and 30s, fucking up these libertarian sentiments online was a poor move by moot.

How was /pol/ taking down anyone's freedom?
If anything, they were more progessive than anyone who called themselves "progressive".
For example, they posted tons of information on how many transexuals commit suicide, or how the
majority of new STD cases are among LGBT individuals.
"progressives" just plug their ears and go "LALALALA IT MEANS NOTHING WE'RE ALL EQUAL". If
someone legitimately gave a shit about either of these groups, they would seek to understand and
address these epidemics among these communities.

This. The only people who are in favor of censorship are those whose views are unable to be
defended. It's the same reason why feminist websites delete all contrary opinions under the guise
that "they're just trolling".
>but /pol/ is completely uncensored now! It's your dream come true!
People aren't posting politics, arguments, or opinions currently. They're shitposting porn and
ponies, which have nothing to do with politics, and belong in their respective boards.

Concerted discourse on 4chan is impossible
It always has been
It is an inherently non-persistent environment where the more talked about and popular a topic
is, the more quickly it falls off the page, left only with the memory of it
It is literally the ideal environment for emotional appeals, and you're 3/4ths the way up your

In this way, I think moot is even more wrong than you do, but not for your boring fucking >waaah,

reasons, but because "each post stands by it's own merits it presents, divorced from petty forums
reputations!" is bullshit, you can not remove speech from the environment in which it is spoken.
Maybe in your head you can, but not in reality. That's why "the 4chan" is still brought up in
other circles in those ridiculously hushed tones that we're all so eager to scoff at.

Problem is how /pol/ felt the need to declare theirs HABBEDINGS for every other board lately.
The GG drama bullshit being reposted over and over again was the last drop to moot realzze /pol/
was going overboard once again (it happened more than twice, if you are a oldfag), so he shut it
down
There's people out there who can't shut up about how TOTALLY 100% REAL NOT TOTALLY FAKED charts
about how gawker media profit is a proof about da evil Joos in media, and once again, they are

If you had actually paid attention to the threads, you would see that there is a literal
conspiracy, backed up by legitimate email logs you can find with a minor amount of searching,
that shows that there is an actual conspiracy among "gaming journalists" to push a certain
narrative, that is in direct conflict to the actual facts of the issue.
>gaming journalism is for babies!
Yes, it is. It's also baby's first redpill on how corrupt our media is. With a minimal amount of
thought, people can apply this concept to everything else they see on every other form of news
and journalism, and see just how massive a problem it is.

Just wondering... are you enjoying this style of debate and discussion about an issue? Because
that is what /pol/ regularly did.
Also Gamergate threads came from /v/ and were spammed to /pol/. They were censored off /v/ and
/pol/ was seen as the appropriate place to discuss them fulfilling its purpose.
Without /pol/ the gamergate spam would have been far worse and it brings up fairly legitimate
points in any case.

Take a look at what you wrote and think about it a bit... Don't you think that style of posting
is exactly what you are trying to condemn?
You pariah your perceived /pol/ user and then you try make light of highly shitty arguments while
doing the same thing. I prefer someone who thinks of themselves as the underdog rather than
someone as righteous as yourself in this situation. Having any collective political agenda
pressuring an entire medium is concerning no matter what it is, I'd be concerned too if nazis

Technically, there are multiple.
The least of importance, that someone was able to sex up a bunch of journalists to get her "game"
far better reviews than it deserved, even making it on STEAM, where it got torn to shreds by
actual gamers.
Of second-most importance, the utter vitrol that gamers have received from "gaming journalists"
about being the worst people on the planet, from the people who claim to "represent them", doing
nothing but misrepresenting them.
The third, and most important, is how it was discovered that practically all the mainstream
"gaming journalists" and media essentially worked together to only push one version of the truth,
which turned out to be the opposite of the truth. This was most obvious during the whole
"gamergate" thing, but also has tie ins to receiving special benefits (usually sex aside) from
giving games better ratings then they deserve.

Personally, I'm not really a gamer, but I can empathize. I'm a /sci/tard. I'm hoping you read
science journals, or at least shit like "Science Daily" from time to time.
Now imagine "Nature" posted some article that was completely full of flaws, that you could see
from even a cursory glance. Then, it was discovered that it only got published because the person
slept with the people responsible for peer reviewing the article. Then, some people post/try to
publish refutations of the study, and "Science Daily" and whatever the Gawker version of it is
responds by saying that everyone who points out the flaws in the study is a sexist bigot, and
scientists have not business talking about science.
That's essentially what Gamer Gate is, except with games, instead of anything that actually
matters.
