Blaming the victims is not cool.

Particularly, when these are good people who put a lot of effort into keeping 4chan a pleasant community, by e.g. removing hate speech and CSAM, as well as banning offenders.




My comment wasn't completely serious and should be taken with a grain of salt. But for example there is / was a German janitor or moderator that that treated the German general on /int/ as his personal safe space


It's a web forum, not a Superfund site.

Instead of burning personal time and energy on trying to clean up 4chan, a person can always just... Not.

Let it burn and sink into the swamp. Stop making that DNS query.


4chan janitors aren't victims of anything no matter what happens to them.
