There is more to 4chan than just /b/.

Yes, /b/ seems to be the only reason people hear or know about 4chan. But /b/ has done this sort of stuff in the past for massive 'lulz', and they have also stopped stuff like animal cruelty, or even that one kid who decided to post a pic of his feet in people's salad (which got him fired).

Good times here, http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tom-green-raids

There's another 50 boards on 4chan ranging from animals to papercraft. Explore.

Why would I want to explore a place that hosts a filthy cesspool crawling with loathsome sloths and immature rejects from all walks of life?

Thanks for your great advice, but I think I'll just stay as far away from that place as possible. I'm sure I'll be able to read about it somewhere else, the next time these mindless children decide to go too far.

Because it's interesting.

Sure, there are other boards, but /b/ is bigger than all of them combined, and is the primary reason for 4chan's fame. It's not entirely accurate to assume that they are one and the same, but it's mostly accurate.

Yeah, it's crap to be cruel to animals, but people? Do whatever you want to 'em!

4chan as a whole may have redeeming value (I'm not involved, so I can't say), but to the rest of the world, 4chan == /b.

To be fair the animals didn't hurt anyone and were tortured and killed

Bit of a difference
