Because this is a predominantly female board filled with some of the saltiest cunts around. It's not as bad as it used to be though, back in the day it was fucking terrible and I guess it sort of stuck around. Long long ago when there were 1838748393 koots thread up at any given time we were worse.

People on /v/ and /a/ will call you a faggot or tell you to kill yourself over ultimately innocuous shitposting over shit that doesn't matter, with the boards moving so quickly that you're unlikely to ever talk to the same person twice.

/cgl/ posters on the otherhand will vendetta, post people they don't like to ita threads and use the board to stir up shit and drama about people they actually know in a catty, passive-aggressive manner usually reminiscent of how women in groups conduct themselves in real life.

People in real life are often petty, catty cunts. However, they show their pettiness in private, real-life conversation and IM so it's not documented publicly.
>>9748519
Some /cgl/ users vendetta, laugh at people in the 'ita' and 'cringe' threads, and gossip about people on lolcow. Some /cgl/ users report or call out vendettas, avoid the 'ita' and 'cringe' threads, and don't go to lolcow. It's not a hive mind.

However, censorship is not exactly 4chan's forte so the result is you see these topics, and all too often those people are louder then the rest. The only solution for OP is learning to avoid the salt, not click 'cringe' and 'ita' threads, and be one of those posters who doesn't contribute salt to the board.

Simple enough.

And many men on other boards do shit like dox people for no valid reason, discuss their fantasies/experiences about raping and assaulting people, and post nudes of their exes or girls they hacked. They also make fun of people like we do, only over shit like deformities and handicaps, instead of just being dressed poorly, and fap to/share porn depicting extreme abuse and violence.

So, please stop acting like the worst they do is tell each other to kill themselves over disagreements about anime.

Yeah... I mean, they send inexperienced animators death and rape threats just because a company decided to put the person in charge of their flavor of the week video game. Yet, people say women, and /cgl/, are bad.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I cordially invite you to eat my penis. The penis in question is tremendously large, wide and delicious. The girth itself is 20 inches wide, so it should fill up your enormous and hungry rectum quite nicely.

Gamer gate... that had to do with the whole depression quest VN, right? Like, I won't lie, that was a poor excuse for a VN since the visual part was highly lacking. Also, if people are doing surreptitious things to gain journalist coverage, that is a bit wrong. However, agreed that it spiraled way out of control and civility. Sage because this is /v/ related.

OP just needs to not click threads where they know they'll see something they don't like, it's what the rest of us do. I personally hate ragging on others, but at the same time I don't think it's my right to censor people who want to. If 4chan didn't allow it to happen, it wouldn't be 4chan anymore. The lack of censorship is what makes this site great. Also, people here can anonymously ask questions without a face or name linked to them which actually helps prevent drama.

/cgl/ is one of the most toxic boards on 4chan. Believe it or not even /pol/ is a lot more civil than /cgl/. If some black guy gets shot by a cop, /pol/ will make discuss the event throwing around bantz and casual racism, but all in all they're fulfilling the purpose of their board, to discuss their politically incorrect world views. /a/ in general does a very good job staying on topic. They don't tolerate spoonfeeding or off topic shitposting. It's a board for people to discuss anime, and that's exactly what /a/ does. /cgl/ is much closer to /v/ in terms of quality. /v/ is irredeemable non stop shitposting, lots of off topic threads, console wars, board culture makes it perfectly acceptable to make bait threads even though it's literally against the rule. /v/ was made to discuss video games and all anyone does is shitpost about games they don't like. It's not all that different from /cgl/ shitposting about bad cosplayers, con organizer drama, cosfamous cosplayer drama, shitposting about bad photographers. It's not quite as full blown cancerous as /v/, but /cgl/ is very very close.

[Anonymous No.9748634]

because female egos are extremely fragile and no matter how hot they are, they are still insecure inside and compare themselves to others.
add that people on 4chan are socially below the average, which means girls receive even less validation

It’s because people know each other (or know of each other) and interact regularly. A board like /v/ has plenty of toxicity, but there’s a constant churn of people and anonymity is pretty strong there. This board, imho, is more similar to /vg/, where you have dedicated posters in the various threads and people become very familiar with one other. That’s why /vg/ is such a toxic shithole, and the same thing applies here. That said theres plenty of great people who post on /vg/ too and the same goes for this board.

[Anonymous No.9748682]

>>9748660
Racism on /pol/ causes no offense to the average /pol/ user. Racism doesn't derail threads on /pol/. Racism is literally 100% on topic on /pol/. The same can't be said for women being catty on /cgl/. Cattiness diverts away from the purpose of the board, which is to discuss cosplay. It stirs shit up and derails threads actually discussing cosplay. Now outside of /pol/ racism might be disruptive and derail threads, but inside of /pol/ it's perfect acceptable. Like I said, /pol/ is surprisingly civil. There are casual bantz like "is x white?" or that whole Amerimutt meme, but it's mostly made in jest. Compare that to a vendetta thread on /cgl/ where someone legitimately hates another human being so much that they try to smear them online. Those are two very different kinds of hate and /cgl/ is definitely more hateful than /pol/ in that regard.

>>9748682
>/pol/ is less toxic than /cgl/ because everyone on the board is racist, so it's not offensive
>/cgl/ is more offensive because bad cosplay threads are a thing
Oh god, anon.

Also, your logic is completely inconsistent. If /pol/ isn't toxic because no one there is offended by racism... then /cgl/ isn't toxic because no one here is offended by bad cosplay threads. You're not making sense.

And you're acting like shitposting and things like bad cosplay threads are most of the board. They're far in the minority, look at the catalog. Almost all of the threads are on-topic and not mean at all.

Yes, because hating an entire race or religion so much that you think they deserve less rights is soooo much less hateful. And it's not like the board as a whole frowns on vendettas and is quick to call them put or anything.

This. I used to be one of those girls who decided to only be friends with guys because ~less drama~ and found out that men are crazy competitive with each other, bitch about each other behind their backs all the time, ended friendships over retarded shit, and love talking about drama just as much as girls are stereotyped to.

But you know, it's only dramatic, bitchy, or catty when it's coming from a female.

[Anonymous No.9748719]

>>9748682
For starters, vendetta threads are against the rules. Discussing bad makeup, bad fashion sense, and bad crafting skills is not against the rules, and falls under the domain of /cgl/. Sure, some of the threads such as the Kawaii-whatever contest seem super bitchy, but still appropriate since they're voting on a Westerner to represent j-fashion overseas.
>>9748710
Thirdly, this person is right. You're asking people to accept that racism is less toxic then cattiness. I hate to tell you this, but the majority find racism far more toxic. Is that even bait? I don't know. You're asking people to consider a cesspool of racism and misogyny as less toxic then a board where a few threads are devoted to saying people have bad style.

Let me ask this... did somebody hurt your waifu? If so, I'm sorry. Just ignore the thread and carry on.

>Cattiness diverts away from the purpose of the board, which is to discuss cosplay.
The examples you've given are cosplay discussion, though. They're not off-topic at all (except vendetta threads, but people have already pointed out they're rare and looked down upon). When I started lolita, the ita threads were incredibly helpful because they played a huge role in teaching me what wasn't lolita and how even an all brand outfit can look like shit of you can't coord. Same with bad makeup threads. I've seen cosplayers say the same thing about bad cosplay threads. Believe it or not, cattiness can be productive. Honestly, you seem like the kind of person who would consider a man pointing out everything wrong with a costume in a bitchy way to be "harsh constructive criticism", but when a woman does it, it's "catty and off-topic".

I don't know how much time you've actually spent on /pol/, but obviously not that much since you keep going on about how "civil" and on-topic it is over there. They call other users pretty much any derogatory slur you can think of and shitpost dumb memes all the time. Also, your reasoning for saying it's less toxic because they're all racist is incredibly stupid.

GG is about demanding ethics in gaming journalism.
Feminists got upset that all their 'feminist approved' games were all called out for their devs crawling all over people to get veiws and notoriety (rather than actually make something decent) so rad fems made it about single white males whitewashing games.
