lol literally all you see on this cesspool of a site is animals being tortured and killed and people loving it. The 4chan you are talking about doesn't exist anymore, it is a pure fascist site full of people who are using the anonymity on there to share gore and generally be the worst version of themselves. It is NOT a mixed bag, it's a full on degenerate Nazi Network. Period.
That's the way 4chan has always been. I stopped using it 20 years ago after seeing a gif of a German shepherd getting hit in the face with a shovel.
They don't track down these people because they love animals, they do it to ruin someone's life (for the lulz). It just so happens that in this cases like these ruining someone's life is beneficial to society.
I get the point, yeah but i think it is sad and a true shame that a community like this exists in the first place.
Also it used to be a much funnier, smarter more creative place than nowadays or at leasts that's how i feel about it.
it all went down the drain somehow
