Tumblr vs. 4chan

[I am lizard]

4chan also apparently learned all about hacking from Hollywood.

Yeah, I keep seeing that. "BE CAREFUL GUYS 4CHAN IS HACKING ACCOUNTS! IF YOU SEE MY ACCOUNT POST GORE AND PORN IT'S NOT ME!"

Ha ha no. Actually hacking into accounts on a site with decent security is really fucking hard if the user doesn't give you a vulnerability. Almost every instance of "hacking" in modern social media is someone being stupid and letting their password get out, either through giving it to someone or something untrustworthy or opening suspect emails and downloads and getting phished.

Most of what I've seen of the "raid" has been Tumblr people making fun of other Tumblr people for being such tards. Plus occasional making fun of 4Chan for being a bunch of teenagers and neckbearded manchildren who think that they're tougher than cooler than they really are.

So, basically, the pot calling the kettle black.  Bout what I suspected, though I would love to have seen it if it had turned into the Great Bum Fight of the Century.

Seeing as I usually browse /vp/, /vr/, and /tg/, I couldn't care less. 4chan and tumblr are exactly the last places I would go for any sort of intelligent discussion. At least /vp/, /vr/, and /tg/ aren't talking about anything constructive.

It gets even better when you remember that Flats is a bully who likes to hurt people for no reason and that Spongebob is easily upset and barely understands how the outside world works.

So on that tumblr "death"

I don’t believe it.

I don’t believe it for a god damn single second.

First of all, you mean to tell me that someone is so thinskinned that they went insane over a whopping 2 gifs (gifs that the OP never said what they were, a HUGE detail to be omitted in my opinion) to the point of downing an entire bottle of pills like a shot of Jack?

Second of all, the OP claims that their friend slowly and painfully died over the phone.  Which means that if they had a working human soul and an actual fucking brain in their head, they would have had plenty plenty of time to call the police in their friend’s area and tell them the details.

But instead, what do they do?  Wait until their friend fucking died to post about it on tumblr for notes.

So guess what shithead, if you ARE telling the truth, and you actually DID have a friend who down a pill bottle and slowly died over the phone talking to you with full knowledge of what they did, and you let them die?

You know what THAT means?

That means you are a bigger piece of shit than anyone during this “war.”

You let your friend die a slow and excruciatingly painful death over the phone, so you could post about it on tumblr.  You have admitted to a third degree felony (reckless endangerment) by stating that you effectively did nothing to prevent a suicidal person from killing themselves after that person made credible threats against their own physical safety and then did nothing of use to help once said person took life ending action.

If what you said is indeed true, have fun in jail shithead.

This entire story has “attention whore” and “desperate for notes” written all over it, and you are all fools for going along with it.

I do not know what to think of this story.

If it is true, then...hm, interesting.

If it is false, then its more telling of Tumblr's userbase than it is of 4chan or anyone else.

ALRIGHT KIDS LISTEN UP

I say it’s time we fought back against 4Chan /b/

We have been sitting here cowering under our blankets with our laptops for long enought

This is not a mission for the weak of heart and many of trigger

WE NEED TO PROVE TO 4CHAN /b/ THAT WE AREN’T GOING TO SIT HERE LIKE A BUNCH OF SHEEP WHILE THEY FUCK US OVER. WE NEE TO PROVE THAT WE WILL FIGHT

Starting tonight, we need to start spamming them right back, clogging their boards with cute fluffy shit and puns and I don’t care what. Just prove that we can and will fight back!

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

Tumblr User: We must do exactly what we have always done - USE THE SAME TACTICS AS OUR ENEMIES AND HOPE IT WORKS!

So far, there's zero evidence of the raid causing any suicides and more evidence indicating that any news of it was faked.

Also, not only are 4Channers trying to pull the "Delete System32" prank on them, people are believing it! They're believing it hard enough that there's more than one Tumblr post telling people not to do it!

Honestly, anyone who falls for that in 2014 deserves what happens to them.

[niam2023]

If they're honestly that stupid, they deserve to be locked out of their computer for a while to learn some valuable real world skills.

Tumblr - where learning and being intelligent is ableism.

Frankly, this is one of those "wars" that I somehow wish both sides could lose.

They already have.  They're just flailing uselessly at each other, mocking each other, mocking themselves, or so forth.

This isn't a "war" that even has a victor.  Just people full of themselves.

[I am lizard]

From what I can tell, the whole thing has been mainly forgotten about on tumblr.
The moment everyone realized it was just 12-year-old Haxxors bragging about how evul they were they went back to reblogging annoying fandom bullshit.

I'm still disappointed. I keep going into the 4chan tag hoping someone beat up or killed another person over it

I'm content with the legions that have deleted System32. I suppose the most I could hope for without people harming each other is a teary-eyed video from someone that deleted System32 and wants 4chan to check their shitlord-level privilege.

They had lost before it ever begun.
