It's so telling that it's been a long established chanlord policy that "anything goes" on /b/ except furry art. Gore and snuff are fine, but that? Outrageous!

I was always fine with furries, the problem on /b/ and 4chan (other than all the other problems with /b/) was that if you allowed furry-posting, all there would be was furry posting (by trolls) because there is so much of it to post. I wasn't a fan of the creation of /trash/, but I do remember how much of the forum it cleared up. That said, it really was mostly indicative of the blatant homophobia of the site that that was the policy, rather than just a topic quarantine like most other things.
Oh no, it doesn't. 4chan can rot in hell and the world would be better off with the entire site banned and erased from the collective memory. It's just that was the policy rationale at the time. The gore and snuff was far from endless. You'd get maybe 40-50 posts like that max a day, but people would post hundreds of furry pics on loop spamming all the sub forums.
It wasn't about getting a rise out of people it was that you would have to wade through pages and pages of unique furry porn (and the only real rule of /b/ is no reposts) to get to anything that wasn't furry porn. I was a dead-eyed teenage lurker at one point, and that was what people were complaining about. There was always homoerotic material on /b/, it's just that the amount of unique furry art made spamming it easy.
The eventual policy itself (an invisible only searchable community called /trash/) is indicative of the homophobia with the admin, but the complaints were almost entirely "I have to scroll through pages of 'trash' to get to any interesting content, this is some fucking bullshit."
I'm not going to contest this anymore though, as those years were some of the worst of my life and I'd rather not think about them anymore. 4chan is a homophobic hellhole, but thinking that you can 'shock them' with furry porn is misunderstanding the posting mindset. The real way to piss them off is to overwhelm them with content they consider 'boring'.
sounds like a skill issue on the part of non-furry posters tbh
I disagree, they should have either had an actual moderation policy or started just straight up doing IP bans, but 4chan's moderation was and is shit that just breeds Nazis, it's no wonder the majority of posters there are boomers now.
