Hell, as of the last few years tumblr makes 4chan look like a board of downright philanthropists.

Can't really speak for reddit since from what I've seen of it, there doesn't seem to be too much hate, but tumblr does seem like the new place for people to spew vile opinions and death threats at each other anonymously. I was actually talking to an artist about this because I wanted them to check out a newer chan board that would be relevant to what they do and they refused because they seemed to have bought into what a lot of people on tumblr say about those places.

The thing a lot of people don't realize, and has been pointed out here, is not every board on a website as big as 4chan or whatever is the same. /co/ is going to be on the opposite end of the spectrum than /pol/ a lot of times, but even then you'll still have people on both sides posting what they think when it's relevant to the theme. To me people writing off a particular website like that feels like saying you don't want to go to the mall because the guy waiting in line behind you might be a neo nazi. I just don't understand this board loyalty shit. I don't go to a website to support a political agenda, I go there because it's interesting or fun to visit.
