Why is Veeky Forums so elitist? This place oozes contempt for people seen as inferior and worships IQ while some posters actively discourage "lesser" people from trying to get into science because, according to them, success is determined entirely by genetics, and some people are just born to stock shelves for the entirety of their lives while Veeky Forums posters are destined to genetically modify their children to be aryan supermen. It's very depressing...
Why is Veeky Forums so elitist...

Veeky Forums in general is a very contrarian social website. Any board based on a hobby will always have a lot of complaining and circle jerking and opinions are from every direction. You should take everything here with a grain of salt, otherwise if you want a friendlier website go to reddit or facebook. Don't let this website discourage you from not following your dreams because it's mostly just a joke.

That's not elitism, that's just blatant shitposting.

These boards are normally frequented by introverts. Introvert people tend to put themselves on a higher position respecting others. In particular, this board is about science and maths, subjects that are culturally known as activities that require intelligence to learn.

like every other social group, /sci relies on confirmation and a minimal amount of thinking, by utilising buzzword concepts like IQ and genes that assert simply what would otherwise need an excess of interpersonal queries in order to obtain an accurate conclusion.
long story short, imagine a anonymous forum dedicated to intellectual discourse with its door left wide open on a busy street

A year or two this board was so slow and populated mainly by polite intellectuals. You'd rarely see even memes. The worst you'd see is the occasional dick-waving IQ posturing and once in a while an overweight neckbeard making a race/IQ thread but every reply would be an insult towards the OP. A good rule of thumb is that if you allow neo-nazis on your site, they will ruin it, which is what happened here. Free speech is just blind, naive idealism on the internet. You have to ban human trash from speaking, otherwise your site gets ruined. Moot realized his error on this issue and that's why he bailed.

That's why we need to build the wall.
