Lastly, the line "The website also hosts boards where pedophiles discuss child grooming techniques and other such things." should also be omitted. A 'moralfag' is a user who's post clearly shows and represents their own personally held belief of right and wrong, also known as Morality, not "dismissal of concerns of misconduct or illegal content." Any illegal content on 8chan is removed immediately by moderators and volunteers, with reports speeding up this process.
Not only this, the line also adds even more false propagandist definitions. It demonstrates very strong Confirmation bias, as the majority of users give heavy complaint against those (legal) images. The line "On one such board, users dismiss any idea of complaint against said images, referring to users who disagree against sharing said material as 'moralfags', a term centered around dismissal of said concerns of misconduct or illegal content or plain objection." should be omitted. Any research done by the article contributors will show that Gawker is one of the heads of the Gamergate controversy, so using them as a source would be comparable to vandalizing the 9/11 Wikipedia page with false information sourced to an article written by Al-Qaeda. Gawker being used as a source is completely laughable. Instead, many of 8chan’s most active boards are political.", while failing to discuss the implication of many 8chan users actively and publicly voicing resentment to the 'pedophile-centric' boards, as made evident by daily discussion seen on the site.
However, the article does attempt to inform their audience on the vast majority of the userbase, such as "The site’s biggest boards are not pedophile-centric. Thousands of posts are accessible within two clicks of the homepage.", which demonstrates an apparent lack of knowledge on the subject at hand, and as a whole. Specifically, the article states, "On numerous public forums, 8chan users share graphic images of children, plus links to hardcore child pornography. The Daily Dot should be deemed unsuitable for use as a source, as it contains falsified information written for propagandist purposes.
