to think we are the female version of 4chan

Hear me out!
Posters can be anonymous, except with fancier usernames than anonymous483929
There’s a real strong POV from most, leading to places like Flora calling us a hate site (actual lol)
We have our own acronyms and inside jokes
We talk about leaving the bastard when he doesn’t clean up, instead of leaving a bitch when put out.

I really don’t see a huge amount of difference, we are just fighting on opposite sides of the fence.

Um no

I don’t know much about 4chan apart from I believe it spawned the incel movement which has lead to women being murdered. So no, I don’t think MN is like that at all.

No. Just, no.

WiddlinDiddlin · 18/10/2019 01:35

If you seriously think that.... You need to go get some fresh air, er and a clue.

4chan gets people raped or murdered...

Here, we just hand out Biscuit and head wobbles to those who are BU.

It is very much not the same thing.

I disagree. I've lurked on 4chan for years and it can be a very scary place. Some weird shit goes down there

Nippybutsweet · 18/10/2019 02:20

Hmm Maybe not OP, thankfully.
4chan is a different beast entirely!
Can be a scary place and will only get more sinister with 8chan shutting down.
Don't get me wrong I do understand why someone would see a forum and assume they could all be classed as similar but the contents and context is undeniably in contrast to MN.
I actually thought about your point OP and played devil's advocate with myself to consider your view, but looking at them both, MN and 4chan are poles apart, long my it continue.Grin

No, you can't compare male and female so you can't compare mumsnet to 4chan.

Thats a fucking insult.

isabellerossignol · 18/10/2019 02:25

No, not even remotely similar.

BillHadersNewWife · 18/10/2019 02:39

The demographic of 4chan is 17 year old males! So no. YABU.

Fraggling · 18/10/2019 02:47

Erm, nope.

Have you been on 4chan and had a good look round?

galvantula · 18/10/2019 02:48

YABU.

Oakandlove · 18/10/2019 03:07

4chan gets people raped or murdered...

don't think this a version of 4chan on any level and the sad thing about it all is if you want a forum for anything you go on the dark web. 4chan is composed of younger people, an odd breakthrough in a new story and discussion of vile acts.

Starrynights86 · 18/10/2019 03:09

Have you ever even been on 4chan??? No similar at all!
