Nobody who visits 4chan, particularly /b/, should take seriously anything that is said there. Voiceofreason01 ( talk) 16:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC) Even though sources such as fox news have run articles, their "journalism" was roundly laughed at by the internet as a whole. But an op-ed or scare piece by fox news isn't going to cut it. Find me a reliable, secondary source discussing racism on 4chan and names 4chan by name, and we can discuss adding it into the article. Caligasti -Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.58.84 ( talk) 10:42, 25 July 2010 (UTC) not relevent, there is racist humor on 4chan, particularly /b/, but the tone of /b/ is and always has promoted the posting of shocking and/or offensive material. Well, considering that the IQ of the average 4chan poster is well below 70 I think they do indeed mean it and actually find it funny. King Öomie 19:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC) how do you know 4chan posters don't mean it when they input racist humor? yes, the whole imageboard protects on the facade of a work of fiction, but is obvious they acknowledge all racist remarks as true irl. Voiceofreason01 ( talk) 19:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC) There's no such thing as a non-issue with Fox, I think. There have been attempts to sensationalize racist material on 4chan, notably Fox News but these attempts are just that, attempts to sensationalize a non-issue. Going to have to agree with the anon editor on this one. In summary, this really isn't the place for soapbox race-baiting, and you'll have one heck of an uphill battle proving anything more than dark humor, which the article already covers. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact." -Random imageboard header disclaimer. "The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Furthermore, nothing posted on 4chan is intended to be taken at face value. Since 4Chan's posting format is default Anonymous posting, there is really no way to determine if the individuals making said racist remarks are indeed of a different race, or simply taking an example, an (Insert Race of Choice) individual poking fun at themselves/others of their race. So, racism is defined as what may or may not be seen as offensive from one race to another. Taken from the Wikipedia article on Racism: "Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race". Abé chose the time period because of its "great sense of dichotomy.It inspires thoughts of grandeur, of courtly grace and chivalrous knights - but at the same time there's a gritty, raw aspect to the period that just cannot be denied." Ībé has received the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, and has been nominated six times for Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards, winning twice.After some googling I've found many respectable sources that provide a point of view about 4chan as a website that permits racist commentary and hate speech, but instead, not enough reference to this topic is found in the curent revision of the article, there are many sources out there confirming this, besides KTTV's report. Many of Abé's subsequent novels have also been set in the medieval time period. The manuscript was purchased by Bantam Books and published as A Rose in Winter. For her first attempt at a historical romance, the newlywed Abé chose to tell the story of her own romance with her husband, set in medieval times. She sent the book to several prospective agents, many of which responded with questions similar to "Nice voice - but what line are you writing for?" Unwilling to try to fit her writing into some of the rules that governed contemporary romances, Abé chose to concentrate on historical romances. Her second novel, also a contemporary romance, took third place in a writing contest. She later attended college in Los Angeles, graduating with a degree in drama. Her writing focused on romance, as those were the types of books that she most enjoyed reading. Throughout her childhood, Abé wrote, completing what she calls "The Silliest Romance Novel Ever" during her free time during modeling shoots. She spent much of her childhood living in Colorado, with a brief stint in Mexico as a foreign exchange student, and, at age seventeen, lived in Japan as a model. She is a past winner of the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award and has won numerous Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards. Shana Abé is an American author of romance novels.
