Unlike SF-based Imgur, 9Gag offers no meme-creation tool, although the Poster menu item redirects users to a third-party image marketplace. To illustrate, an image series on pollution in China brings out some thought-provoking reactions and might serve to raise global awareness for some contributors. Share any fun, get real responses from people all over the world, and vote on what you laugh at." 9Gag is often LOL funny, occasionally inspirational, and definitely controversial and clearly provides a street-savvy-type education to young people making their way in the world.
According to the developer: "9Gag is your best source of happiness. Parents also should know that there's no privacy setting or moderation overtly stated on the site, which could raise privacy and safety concerns.ĩGag is an image-commentary sharing site (for memes and more) that's super hot with gamers, manga enthusiasts, cosplayers, and young people in general across the world. Although it's possible to block images categorized as NSFW (not safe for work) on the settings page (which alone demonstrates its adult nature), parents who are sensitive to advanced imagery may want to block this one. There's a heavy emphasis on fun and the female form, but occasionally, images and GIFs (such as stop-action videos) border on pornography. Women are frequently referred to as "bitches" and men as "d-ks," and although there's no overt hate speech, there's a lot of harsh commentary that can erupt on the site. There are plenty of posts that show violent content both in society as well as loads of profanity.
High schoolers may be plugged in, but most users are probably 20- and 30-somethings. Parents need to know that 9Gag is a place for young adults to have a laugh, express themselves, and broaden their perspectives, but it's not appropriate or intended for children.
