Fuck 4chan

They trigger so many people PTSD, not to mention how sexist and racist the people are. The only way to stop them by setting up a raid against them. It will stop so many people from getting triggered. They must be stopped.

I've been wondering...

Real, honest question for those who are engaging in raiding 4chan: What the heck are you gonna do? I know this gets tossed around a lot, but I really have no idea what you people can do to make it worse or shut it down. And there are many ways you might do it, but I can't see how any would be effective.

Are you trying to mess with the raiding boards? (/b/ and /pol/)

You could flood threads with gore, porn, and weird things, but nobody would really notice, seeing as the only thing that gets taken down is cheese pizza, and if you post that, it's your life you're ruining. Everything else if fair game, and i have seen some shit there. If you can do worse than gore, animal torture, detailed instructions on how to prepare humans for cooking or make them into sex slaves, or extreme genital torture, you're only gonna make the boards more interesting.

You would post feminism stuff everywhere, but you won't really prevent anything from happening, as nothing happens on those boards anyway. And you definitely won't win anyone over like that. At best, you'll create a huge fucking argument that dies out in a day, and at worse you'll be ignored. 

You could go the less obvious route and try to post subtle pro-feminism threads, but there are already several other groups trying to quietly influence the way people think on 4chan, so you'll probably just be accused of being a member of those groups. Even if you o manage to win some anons over, you'll have trouble convincing a website known for it's raiding not to raid.

You could make /b/ and /pol/ even more stagnant by pressing boring threads to flood out raid threads, etc., but even if you do have the numbers to do that, it wouldn't be effective in changing the likelihood that /b/ decides to go raid somewhere. Threads would move faster, quality would drop and nothing would happen.

Are you trying to infiltrate the entire site?

You could spam gore/feminist propaganda/other off-topic things on non related boards, but your posts would get deleted.

You could try the subtle introduction of Tumblr-approved ideals, but it would be ignored by the more conservative boards, and the more liberal ones still are very loyal to 4chan's style of not caring about other people's feelings. And again, you'd probably just get passed off as another forum slider.

Are you trying to get 4chan shut down for good?

You could bother the site owner, moot, but he is not interested in shutting down the site any more than the site's moderators are in banning the raiders.

You could go to the law, but nothing illegal has happened. (If the rumors about a suicide are true, 4chan is no more at legal risk than an employer who laid off an employee who later offed himself.) Uploading gore and sending hate messages are completely legal. At most, you'll bring down a few doxxers, but it won't stop 4chan. Not to mention the feds care very little about our sites' silly slapfight.

So what exactly are you all planning?
