You can pretty much divide that board into three chunks, all of whom despise each other: the casuals who go there to discuss actors and Game of Thrones (their favourite film is usually something like Pulp Fiction), the snobby people who go there to brag about obscure films that they have seen (their favourite film is usually something like Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia), and then others are just straight-up racist and go there to complain about Muslims in the UK and the number of refugees taken in by European countries for some reason (their favourite film is usually something like Goodbye Uncle Tom).

And while other boards like /mu/ (music) routinely shut down racists who go there (it would be pretty dumb for a group of people who idolise Miles Davis and Charlie Parker to be racist), they are often sexist as well. There was a big scandal recently when a large number of people on /mu/ made a thread talking about the female lead singer of this synthpop band called Chvrches in a very demeaning way, and she found out about it and called lots of bloggers' attention to it.
