Top 10 Worst Things about 4chan
4chan's a decent website that provides a few laughs, but it still can be pretty annoying.
-
Gore
Disrespectful. What if that was you?
-
Racism
-
Anti Semitism

Getting Banned for No Reason
The janitors are the worst. They allow shills to constantly spam the thread with bait, and idiots respond. Or maybe it's just the same spammers pretending to be other users to bump the threads.
I was just banned for allegedly failing to "keep /new/ out of /soc/" when I hadn't done anything that would make sense of this accusation.
Corrupt moderators are everywhere on that site.
Exactly this, mods are completely childish and pathetic. Banning people randomly for nothing, allowing CP threads to 404.

Misogyny
Misogyny is a disease that should be eradicated forever.

CP
I like 4chan because it's like the Wild West, an untamed landscape of whatever people want to say. I also hate 4chan because of child abuse. It's not something that should be accepted, even on 4chan.
I have never seen CP on 4Chan and never will! If you ever see CP, make a CyberTipline report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Hatred
I was going to say gore, but hatred covers that one and several others, such as racism and superiority complexes.
A place that glorifies racism, terrorism, Nazism, and all. Very nice.

Bullying
4Chan users think it's really funny to pose as someone they're not and try to make said someone out to be something that is completely untrue!
For example: If you make a post with your name on it, someone will use your name on their own posts and do everything they can to convince everyone that you are homosexual, even though you're not.
Instead of dismissing the imposter and his false claims, the 4Chan users will play along and pose as other people in an attempt to "confirm" the imposter's claims that you are homosexual. (One user even had the audacity to impersonate God himself in hopes of "proving" that someone was gay.)
Try asking questions that only the real you would know the answer to, and when the 4Chan users inevitably get it wrong, you provide the real answer, confirming you are the real deal. Think that will stop them? NOPE! They just keep going as if they were never exposed.
Trying pointing out that you've had crushes on (a) female character(s) in the past, complete with said female character(s) confirming this to be true. Surely, that means you have to be straight right? Not in 4Chan's eyes.
When you try to inform them that identity theft is against the law, and that millions of families suffer from it every year, they just pretend they didn't see/hear that and keep insisting that they are the real deal.
It will eventually get so bad, you will have to impersonate your own parents to confirm that you are straight, and warn them not to bully you or falsely accuse you of stuff ever again. The thread will get locked after that, so now those 4Chan users couldn't keep going even if they tried to, but still.

Glad I'm not the only one who's against anti-furry stuff.

Overuse of the Word Fag
When it's really another word for cigarette, haha.
They don't even know the meaning of that word.
I wouldn't take much issue if it was used on rare occasions, but almost every 4chan user uses it so frequently, it's like they worship the word. They love using it as a suffix ("furfag," "ponyfag," "newfag") for some of the most ridiculous words.
This is the main reason I believe 4chan mostly consists of 13-14-year-olds (even though I've heard adults use it). Not to mention, the word is actually a derogatory term for LGBT people (primarily homosexual men). It's like if they decided to add the n-word (with the "er" ending) to the end of random words.
The word "autistic" seems to be just as overused as an insult.

Bad Humor
I know someone who used 4Chan, and they impersonated him and tried to convince people he was gay, but he wasn't. No matter what he did to prove he was real, no one would listen to him. He tried using questions that only he knew the answer to, and the 4Chan users predictably got it wrong, thus proving he was the real deal.
You would think that would stop his impersonators from bullying him, but no! They kept going as if it was nothing. Now, there are probably a small number of people (probably within 100, but still) who use 4Chan living their normal lives, wrongfully believing this guy is a homosexual... which he's not!
4Chan really needs to be destroyed and permanently banned from the Internet.

Users Having a Superiority Complex
Outside of random (where nothing matters anyway), users accept nothing but what the community seems to think is the best at the time. Discussion will never go beyond maybe three or four topics a month, and then some oddball discussions here and there. Anything else is shouted down and/or ignored.
They think they are "the internet" and feel free to say what they don't like is cancer. When it becomes popular, they say the internet is dying.
I think I am better than you because I have no proof to back up my statement.
