I was referring to them as vigilantes according to the Internet's standards. I agree with you, they're far from dealing any kind of real world justice. Though they do provide entertainment for everyone on the web to see.

Think of it this way:

Imagine a key (the man) and a lock (a woman).

If the key can "unlock" so many locks, then we consider it to be some master key.

A lock on the other hand works the other way around: if a lock can get opened by so many keys, then that's one shitty lock.

All I have to say is that this is golden and I couldn't think of a better analogy ever.

Well said, Ms.Rose or w/e your called now.

I'm thinking about changing it back. I figured it would be a nice change and Eloquent sounds like such a snazzy name, but but...it's just not the same.

[Lucian]

err... what internet justice do you claim the deliver then?

The little battle with the Scientologists. Tracking down that girl who threw puppies into a river. Idk they're just funny.

[Elindoril]

Idk they're just funny.

Except /b/ hasn't been funny in years.

[Lucian]

Maybe not to a person with your intellectual prowess your highness.

Can a mod delete this double post.

People on 4chan have done some good. They did find that little boy who was abusing his cat and putting the videos on youtube. The main thing that's annoying is the people who've just discovered 4chan like 10 years later and they start using their sayings nonstop and pretending like they invented trolling and it's the funniest thing ever.

You do realise that literally everything memetic on the internet stems from 4chan, right?

Yes, and I still find several memes and whatnot that is posted on 4chan to be funny, just nothing that comes from /b/.

Sounds more like you're being deliberately contrary, to me.

[Elindoril]

/b/ isn't all of 4chan, and not everything spawns from /b/, other boards like /v/ and /a/ come up with some clever content themselves.

All I have to say is that this is golden and I couldn't think of a better analogy ever.

Sorry to derail the 4chan debate, but - really? I can't stand that analogy, it's retardedly sexist.

I also have some stuff to say about the psychology behind the double standard :3

The evolutionary theory argues that men and women will have different mating strategies. For men, having sex is a minimal investment - they can just do it an move on after a while, so it makes sense that the men who have sex with the most different women will pass on their genes the most. For women, every instance of sex carries a chance they might get pregnant. That means nine months of pregnancy (during which they can't get pregnant again) and years of childcare. That means that the women who are the most picky, waiting to combine their genes with the best possible genes (which will create children who will be more likely to reproduce for whatever reason) will pass on their genes the most. They're also more likely to pass on their genes if they mate with someone who is likely to stick around and take care of their children, so women should be more committment seeking as well.

An interesting theory comes out of this last bit. A lot of pseudopsychology books are about "why men cheat" and such, and they argue that because its the best evolutionary strategy,they are driven to . Therefore, women shouldn't be too upset if their husbands cheat. However, by this logic, the best strategy for women is to marry the man who is most likely to stay and take care of the children, but cheat on him with the man with the best genes - the most attractive, slutty man (so that her sons will sleep around and spread their genes, and thus hers, as far as possible). In your face, pop psychology!

So yeah. That's why there's a double standard when it comes to sluttery - the different evolutionary strategies. If people were more aware of that maybe we could get over it, since we have birth control and all now.

Sorry for the novel, just thought it was interesting.

I'm pretty sure you'd want to know. What if your partner has fornicated with someone said to be a host for an std?

All she'd have to say is "I have an STD", she doesn't have to reveal anything about the rest of her sexual past at all.

Protection exists for a reason. Sorry, but until I get married, I don't plan on /not/ wrapping up.

Anon actually has done a bit of vigilante justice. Many people who abuse animals for fun and post it are prosecuted, thanks to Anon.
Some clown video taped himself slamming a cat against a wall, by its tail. Posted it. Now in jail. Anon has its moments.
Generally it's just spam, cancer and trolls, though.

[Lucian]

Thanks for making clear what I was trying to convey.

-
Everyone have the right to autodestruy him/herself, and if your partner has done something like that and you never realized or he/she never told you, there is a problem in thet relationship.

When a key opens alot of locks it's a master key
But if a lock is opened by a lot of keys... it's a shitty lock.

I think someone said that already unless you're trying to reiterate that analogy.

Why does a vagina have to be a lock?

[Lucian]

Because you can't insert a vagina into a dick. xD

[iargue]

Or can you?

Errrr


Pics or it didn't happen?

[Lucian]

Just thinking of the process and outcome is making me queasy.

[Mishelle]

No I mean why does a woman's sexuality have to be stigmatized and itemized for no reason what so ever. A woman's vagina isn't an object that's only around to serve 1 purpose.

I hate you so fucking much right now. I'm going to bribe Noit into suspending you for a week.

/b/'s agenda....

70% porn
20% trolls
5% mass commenting on unfavorable youtube videos
4% hacking facebook pages / treating people who are half their age
1% protecting cats




Although, I must admit, I fucking love cats too. It alllllmost makes up for the 99% filth that they are...almost.
