there is a great clickhole headline that your comment reminds me of

"Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point"

4chan has produced some hilarious/interesting stuff, and they have also driven people to suicide. i suppose it is up to everyone individually to make the value judgement there.

Replace "4chan" with "humanity in general" and your statement still holds true.

		I mean that's pretty vacuously true, since (the community of) "4chan" is a subset of (the total population of) "humanity in general," but it's a stronger and more interesting claim to make about the subculture in question. If anything, the person you were replying to was intentionally describing how 4chan is less dissimilar to humanity in general than its typical portrayal, so responding with a dismissal that that makes them just the same as everyone else is really just affirming their point.

		sure, yeah, the original quote was about a person instead of a website, so that makes sense.
