But they didn't take those pictures, or kill the woman. They didn't even know them, or much about them probably. They found a picture on the internet, and they posted that same picture to another part of the internet. Truly moral outrage should ensue.

Since you are a sci-fi fan, here is a sci-fi reference.

Neo takes the blue pill. He finds out what the 'real' reality is, behind the bullshit fabricated reality. The stuff about the dead lady? That actually happened. Stuff far worse happens every day. If that makes you uncomfortable, or outraged, or whatever negative emotion you are expressing, you are just angry at reality. Don't blame 4chan.



I'm reasonably sure you are the person closest to being outraged about anything in this discussion, heh. He was being funny, not raving about how 4chan is the root cause of all evil. And in any case, the fact that actively evil people exist independent of 4chan is orthogonal to whether the site is legitimately "a hive of scum and villainy."
