Never heard of 4Chan. I suppose I'm a little old for it.
Who post there ? Is it just College kids and psycho's ? And what are they refering to when they mentioned a " Beta uprising " ?
Who are the Betas, Chads and Stacies ?
Beta refers to nerds, antisocials, etc. etc. (I too was wondering at first what the terminology was all about, One of the kids at school knew all the terminology, so he clued me in).
It is in contrast to "Alpha" which I'm sure you know.
The sick bastards in there were also talking about a "Beta uprising" and someone who claimed to live in Michigan was asking to be a part of it too. Putting two and two together, with the current definition of Beta, I can only conclude that it's a bunch of rejects in society who are fed up and want to commit random acts of violence. It's sickening.
As for 4chan itself, it's a forum, like debatepolitics. If you have ever heard of reddit, 4chan is the same thing. Unlike debatepolitics though, 4chan and sites like it espouse free speech in a way where moderators hardly moderate this forum.
You and I of course know that free speech doesn't cover threats and such, but because there is little to no moderation in these threads, it's hard to really enforce that, and many times, moderators become simply negligent or are sick bastards themselves who sympathize.
For more info and for experiencing what it's like yourself, there is of course, this...
