I just want to bring up that using 4chan as an example of "hate" is flawed and honestly is of ignorance.
99% of the time 4chan's humor is "schadenfreude", in that they laugh at misfortune. However, 9 times out of 10, it's just joking around. They don't take certain things seriously. Those who /do/ are either assholes, who are to be found everywhere, or baiters meant to get people hot and bothered to derail the thread into "hilarity".
It's a culture that's completely different from bullying.
Back on topic, I'd say this issue stems from communication errors. Someone interprets it one way, another another, and conflicts arise. In fact, in a few threads in this very forum right now, there are arguments stemming exactly because one person is interpreting another person under the wrong voice and both are acting on it rather than the issue at hand.
Unfortunately context is difficult to understand often times on the internet.
A lot of user's judgement on 4chan is strictly limited to /b/. I haven't been to all of the subchans yet, but of the ones I do frequent, I can say whatever judgement people have on 4chan is either out-dated, misinformed or from word-of mouth.
The differences between cgl and f are crazy. x is a great place for "never go back 2 sleeps" and po is great to watch some awesome origami/papercraftan.
My favorite is /diy/ and /d/.
/co/ and /tg/ are also fantastic places to go, though /v/ at times tends to come in and mess with /co/ under the guise of "HURR FEMINISIM/TUMBLR" and all stuff like that should be ignored. In fact, you can! You can hide threads and individual posts.
Really it makes me shake my head how everyone assumes 4chan is this hotpot of hate and loathing when in truth the hate and loathing is a complete joke. The one thing that is a constant is that people will say "DO IT f*****t" and "COMMIT AN HERO/KILL YOURSELF" if you happen to go on there and talk about that kind of thing. Because no one takes each other seriously there. People insult and berate each other because it's funny to them. Don't like that kind of dark humor? Don't go. Simple as that.
People tend to forget 4chan's reported cases of abuse (spousal AND animal), alongside cases of reported rape and murder; hell, they managed to help the FBI catch a serial killer. That actually happened.
However, still yet on the topic of insulting, really, I'd suggest people who can't take it to thicken their skin. You are not going to survive in this world if you do not toughen yourself. Period. Coddle your feelings and emotions all you like, but when it comes to the grinder and you've pissed off the wrong people and they go ape on you, you are expected by both society and by the norm to accept it with grace and accept the criticisms that follow, no matter how harsh.
To reject that and say "I'll run away from it all" is really childish. I'm not saying go to places where people insult you, nor am I saying to start fights or fight back. In fact, fighting back usually (Unless it's physical) a very bad idea, because aggression begets more aggression, and your ugly side will reveal itself. Venom envenoms, people.
