4chan’s new troll campaign aims to make the hashtag a white supremacist symbol

Daily Dot-

Members of the notorious internet forum 4chan have proposed a new troll campaign aimed at converting the hashtag into a white supremacist symbol.

“We must start using # to represent the swastika on memes and social media,” the user states.

The far-right campaign, dubbed “Bash the Hash,” a play on the anti-fascist term “Bash the Fash,” aims to remove the ability of sites like Twitter to use the popular symbol.

“It will be a perfect win-win situation,” the user adds. “Either Twitter will have to accept blatant Nazism on its forums or it will effectively have to find a way to get rid of the site’s core mechanics.”

  4. I’m for anything that will cause “constipation face” for any lefty and I give this guy an A for originality. But, TBF, my understanding is that 4chan is just a depository for any anti-PC driven rant. I have seen some pretty outlandish, anti-social, bigoted stuff on this site. Of course it is no reflection on the authors or the majority of the posters. My point is that it is not fair to brand a site for the sins of outlier posters.

  5. Hitler (#) was the father of the far-far-far-right/left. He also used the “thumbs up” gesture to show that whites were the #1 race (see what I did there?). So, every time you give the thumbs up gesture you are saying that whites are superior to all other races.
    And I see by all the thumbs ups on these forums that iotwreport is full of racists.
