Ok there was this tiktok where a mom shamed her trans kid named Alex & called upon others to misgender their trans children & thankfully that mom is being investigated by CPS.

There was a hashtag started called #HisNameIsAlex to raise awareness but now 4chan have been spamming it with transphobic memes & doxxing the kid's birth name.

No this is not "an epic troll" you're literally bullying a child. Thank god I stopped being transphobic and bigoted.

Not sure I am comfortable with children transitioning genders but yeah bullying that child is no help at all

That’s kinda 4chan’s whole shtick though

Who made/shared the tik tok? That whole post just sounds about right for 2020 unfortunately

Sometimes I think about how I went from playing minesweeper to being embroiled in the current state of the internet

Weird s***

You can be trans without transitioning. Vast majority of children do not transition as children

Very sad situation for the child. Internet is a terrible place unfortunately. Glad I grew up in a time where it wasn’t the cultural norm to be online all day

Yeah add to that a terrible home environment + trans people often experience depression & anxiety

Yeah for sure. I’m nowhere near educated enough to comment on the issues within the trans community but all in all I just wish for people to be able to live their lives without worry

4chan is a board of peace

the only ones who still partake in this stuff are edgy redditors that discovered the site after 2016 and think that politics is an identity

Yeah I really don't know enough either I really only know about it from a trans online friend I had who I misgendered because I was stubborn & bigoted when I could've just been nice & used the proper pronouns. They were really nice too I shouldve just been respectful but idk i was just an idiot

It’s all good. Ten years ago that was the norm in society for the most part. You educate yourself and you change for the better. That’s life

Yeah man idk I just had a lame af worldview like stanning Jordan Peterson & Milo & Ben Shapiro I was miserable & bitter af

if 4chan is a board of peace why is this kind of stuff allowed?

boards.4chan.org/pol

board of peace

They should just blacklist 4chan from all ISPs like they do with criminal websites, too many school shooters & domestic terrorists reading it

i don't think it really is. the site is basically an intelligence honey pot at this point anyway so the truly vile and evil always get a visit from the police

10 years ago 4chan did the same thing to a 10 year old girl all in the name of 'lulz'

it sucks but none of this is new internet behavior. if anything it used to be way worse now that most feel that the internet should be policed in a stricter fashion, especially on social media

and this isn't a 4chan issue, most of these guys get banned and hang out on deeper sites to organize these things. people are f***ed and will find a way

#1 lesson, don’t use 4chan

just watched the first tweet of the mom's video

man what the f***, that's just so brutally depressing. Especially for it to go viral now and be seen by so many people online. can't imagine how that feels

Yeah the kid already had enough s*** to deal with

i'm all for shutting down that board since around 2016 it's been nothing but racists and schizos s***ting it up and causing real world violence because people are too stupid

/pol/ was a containment board set up to stop people from spamming in normal sections of the site but was nowhere near effective. they even tried changing the site name to disassociate themselves from the NSFW boards

to be honest 4chan culture died in 2007 when the scientology raids occurred, and these nerds didn't realize that the memes should stay on the internet. that was a large cultural schism that still persists today

i support freedom of speech as long as it does not intend to harm anyone which sucks because these platforms get abused by bad actors that ruin it for everyone else

anyone who supports this behavior is a tribal loser looking for somewhere to fit in and chose the lowest common denominator

Thank you for enlightening me I was not aware of this

i remember this

crazy times. i think when it came to bullying people they were probably worse years ago

awful place and people that defend it are weird
