Closing 4chan for a joke wasn't OK.

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing 4chan for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how that forum is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the anonymity and I love that community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and that forum is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find 4chan closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

Wouldn't it be awful if Kamala became president, put all the pot heads in labor camps, and then accidentally tripped, fell out of all her clothes, and landed in my bubble bath? Haha that sure would be a problem
