Seriously, a "meme" that is commonly used in conjunction with alt-right Pepe, and you want to tell me it doesn't deal, at all, with homosexuality. Good luck with that.

But the {#}CP{#} we were recently talking about was a drawing of two celarly adult women. Child bearing hips and all.
8ch is a trash bin and you have to treat it that way. Everything has its place and trash belongs in the bin. It's anonymous and people abuse it. You can't tell me that you never drew a dick in a game just because you could. So many edgy teenagers built swastikas in Minecraft and they are far from being nazis. Everyone shot a dick with bullets on a wall in a FPS. You can't tell me that you know no one who did it for a quick laugh. We did it in Left 4 Dead all the time back in the days. And I've seen it in BF1 and CS many years prior.
If 8chan is a trash (which it unequivocally is) in the trash bin, you know what you do to the trash? You empty it. You get rid of it, forever.
Seriously, what is up with people continually misusing the First Amendment? All the First Amendment says is that the government will not infringe upon the rights of citizens to speak their mind, within reason. That's it. Nowhere does the First Amendment prevent you from the consequences of your actions nor for other people to express their own speech in response to yours.
Not once has 8chan ever been threatened to losing their 1st Amendment "rights" by the government. Same applies with THQ Nordic. All they've had is backlash due to their (rightful) toxic reputation.
I mean, seriously, what is up with you completely trivializing and minimizing 8chan? Like, I practically feel like I'm in John Oliver bingo when it comes to how you trivialize 8chan's actions and then use whataboutism for other places like 4chan or Reddit.
8chan isn't some poor, misunderstood soul who got caught stealing from the cookie jar or was caught drawing a dick pic once. This is a place that actively promotes bigotry and hate (considering they're people that toxic sites like /pol and r/TheDonald banned for being too extreme, which is truly saying something) and has been caught promoting and soliciting child pornography.
If THQ truly cared about having an unmoderated AMA, they could host it themselves. But they didn't, because it's very clear that was never the intention. Phillip Brock just wanted to talk to his fellow 8chaners, and used the AMA as an excuse to do so.
The fact that he still has his job is incredible, considering he willingly jeopardized THQ's reputation, and I've known people who got fired for a lot less than that.
