New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

Original article: http://pastebin.com/UwuNQVqG

I don't know what to feel here. These morons have invented the acronym "SWM" to refer to Straight White Males because they bitch about them so much. Despite being an article tangentially related to video games, they aren't mentioned once on Reddit.

What a load of shit. Straight white males don't get anything handed to them, we fly under the radar. We have to pay for college, EARN a good job, compete with others for a girl.

Minorities get jobs handed to them no matter how dumb they are because of this stupid initiative to have a token member of every race in every job.

The also get hundreds more scholarship choices just for being not-white. Double if they're female.

Women can fuck their way to the top of a company, remove people they don't like with "OMG HE SEXUALLY HARASSED ME" and get their entire lives paid for by a beta man. Then if they decide they don't like him, they can just fuck off and take 70% of his life with them.

Isn't it ironic that feminism campaigns for more equality when it comes to women CEOs and women Presidents, but says nothing about the fact that the vast majority of homeless and people working on the lower end of the social ladder (trashmen, manual laborers, etc.) are men. They don't want equality and androgyny, they want to be pushed to the top.

Also, Straight White Males has and is still dealing with much bullshit, such as Feminists, Liberals, Multiculturalism, Jobs, Competition, Scholarships and so on.

I'm not going to dignify the article with a read, but you know what pisses me off? PEOPLE GET PAID TO COMPLAIN ABOUT STUPID BULLSHIT ON THE INTERNET.

This isn't some kind of activism. White males don't "owe" the rest of the world anything. This is just whiny fuckers complaining loudly. And because of the Internet, they make enough fucking money to live off of, for COMPLAINING.

There was a time in human history when if someone started whining loudly about bullshit in the middle of a crowd, you just told them to shut the fuck up and threw a rock at their head.

What happened?

I like to go on Reddit and browse the liberal subreddits. It's an untapped source of OC rage material, it never fails to get my jimmies rustled. I noticed a thread about this article (I'd seen threads on /v/ about it before). I provided a link to pastebin so you don't have to give them ad revenue.

You people are retarded. Reddit, just like 4chan, is a huge site with people with very different beliefs and lifestyles,

I mean, yeah, sure, majority of Reddit are liberal whiny little politically correct faggots, but that doesn't mean there are some pretty un-PC subreddits out there. Saying all Reddit is the same because of shit like r/atheism, r/SRS and r/politics is like saying all 4chan is the same because of /b/ and /v/. Or hell, just compare the difference in posters in, say, /v/ and /soc/.

Correction: Being born RICH white male is the easiest difficult setting. Here's the rundown in America in terms of difficulty from easiest to hardest:

Rich White Male
Rich White Female
Rich Minority
Middle Class Minority (Either Gender)
Middle Class White Male
Middle Class White Female
Lower Class Minority Male
Lower Class Minority Female
Lower Class White Female
Lower Class White Male

Poor white males are absolutely fucked. You have no upward mobility, no government programs to assist you AND you're still considered part of the "privileged" class, allowing everyone else to discriminate against you with reckless abandon.

>straight white males that were born into a rich family
>straight white males that were born in a poor/middle class family that didn't have everything handed to them and has to work for it like everyone else, except with almost 0 assistance these days.

Guess which one gets more attention as being privileged?

Fucking this

My parents split up and the ones I threw my lot in with gamble all their money away.

I tried to get a scholarship to have any hope of getting in to a good uni and what do you know, I was denied because I'm "White and a male".

Whereas miss nigress across the street who's dad sells drugs to pay for their flatscreen and mum sits on her ass all day collecting welfare cheques gets to go to a nice college because she's "disadvantaged".

When will people learn that race, gender and all that shit really don't matter.
Its down to individual people and fringe cases.

Here's another one (from today actually). Ironically (or not), the newspaper is one of Reddit's favorites.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/27/hephzibah-anderson-dangelo-male-sex-object

>Objectifying women is always wrong, men create problems like anorexia and drug abuse!
>Which is why we need to objectify men more, give them a taste of their own medicine.
>Look at this faggot, he totally deserved it, no way he's telling the truth, he just needs to grow a thicker skin and man up, what a pussy. It's his own fault.
>I hope his album gets scrapped too by the way. And remember that objectifying women is pure evil, but objectifying men is OK.

The author usually writes for the Jewish Chronicle.

More irony? The same newspaper published this yesterday: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/27/barbara-ellen-women-pestered-in-public

Russians are white because they have a land that should be culturally enriched according to far leftists.
Roma are an "oppressed minority" thus they obviously can't be white.
Jews are white but are an "opressed minority" when it suits the left but Israel must stay Jewish at all costs, cultural enrichment is a no-go there.

Yes, it's all bullshit. Like most of the pro-globalist tripe.

There is no such thing as class, it's just an abstraction used by populists to drum up hate. There are no secret "class" clubs where people decide to screw other "classes". Individuals in classes don't have identical interests. Class analysis is completely useless for both political and economic predictions and depends 100% on the arbitrary definition of whatever class is useful to make a point.

You people need to read up on public choice theory for an actually useful approach to these matters.

That's the response you get from people who can't argue back with you. The same thing goes on, on /pol/. You beat someone in an arguement, they get all pissy and play the race card, "Go b4ck to stormfront". It's the same way blacks get when you tell them anything "Oh because am black right". Yes because you are black bitch, nobody can touch you today, nobody can do harm to black people today, black people can do no harm. If anything, they are the ones getting a free fucking pass.

You want equality? You want want multiculturalism? Where is the Chinese guy with the white girl? Where is the black girl with an Indian guy? Where is the Korean with the Latino guy? You never see this shit on T.V or in any of the advertisements.

Middle-class suburban mixed male here.

And I must say, I probably have it better than white males in the same class as me and black males in the classes below me. Sure, I have to deal with intolerance through life but in terms of financial aid when it comes to education? I just had much more opportunity than my white friends did.

It's not fair, and I think it is because the government looks at us like pieces on a game board, or just numbers and statistics than human beings with aspirations and dreams like anyone else. Also, white guilt is very uncomfortable to watch....

Since when do things like "the truth" or "reality" do anything to stop conspiracy theories?

The abuse of statistics and history by feminists is fueled by a hatred of men. Rather than change their views to suit the world around them, they prefer to "interpret", "extrapolate", "manipulate" or outright lie and change the world around them in order to suit their views. They don't look at statistics and think "hmmm, what's the bigger picture here?", they think "I know what's really going on, I just need to find some statistics to back it up, truth be damned".
