Having seen it around, I absolutely hate this screenshot. The implicit message is that 4chan was/is actually good and cool, while that hasn’t been the case for a while (if it ever was). Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts, but the point that the site is utter trash is true.
/mu/ used to be good tho
Depends on the board. It's just a virtual meet up of all the village idiots.
Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.
Same is largely true for any board that gets big enough on the internet.
Imo 4chan stands alone in how bad it is, but I see your point.
4chan is extreme in both ways. They did get a terrorist camp bombed and Katawa shoujo is legit fantastic. But then it also had QAnon trolling (which moved to 8chan soon) and /pol/.
Hell yeah
Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts
* cough tripfags cough *
Tripcodes changed after moot sold the site, meaning whoever the original qanon was, there's literally no way to verify any posts after the change are the same person (they almost definitely weren't). Also, you can just use trip explorer to "hack" a tripcode, and this was always possible. Identity on 4chan has always been impossible to preserve in a meaningful way on purpose, which is why pretty much every successful 4chan-originated project moved away from the boards to communicate.
Anyway, it's not comparable to an account, and judging someone for using a tool rather than what they're using it for is insane. Social media are tools.
/b/ was never good
But gosh damn did I love it from 2003 to 2009. If not for /b/, I would absolutely not be married to the most wonderful person. Long story.
I owe it mostly to W.T. Snacks. BRING BACK SNACKS.
I ALSO hope I can see him play someday!
/b/ was good when they had to save animals
Peak 4chan time frame. I actually showed the site to a friend back then and she met someone there too.
I haven't heard the name W.T Snacks in a long time.
Snacks is still doing music! A couple episodes of Midnight Snacks were life-changing for teenage me.
Heavily agree with peak 4chan time. People were crass and mean and the racist language was there still, but it was all performative; a way to be edgy somewhere as a person who isn’t a piece of shit in real life. I met some awesome people from there who are genuinely good people.
Now it’s filled with… well, y’know. Nü-4channers.
/an/ is still good
/a/ is good. Even the LGBTQ board is quite decent.
knowing 4chan it's just as likely this is someone from 4chan trolling next thing you know they're going to be blowing up vans or something
/mu/ was so good back then (10-15 years ago). I went to /b/ as a curious teenager but quickly lost interest even then. But /mu/ introduced me to so many great artists and albums that I can't ever fully agree 4chan was never good. Even back on reddit there was a ton of shit I didn't like but I tightly curated my browsing there too.
"have a 4chan"
yeah that was how it used to work, yepp.
So happy I deleted my 4chan account, really helped curb my desire to kill the women I date.
People that pay for 4chan are shit tho fr
Wait people pay for 4chan?
You can pay if you want to bypass captchas
They're either being funny, or are very stupid. It's hard to tell.
$20 for a year of no capchas
The greatest thing to come from 4chan is an AI generated green text about a bottomless pit, having been trained on real 4chan green texts.
A machine learning algorithm was capable of better humor than the real people that post to that cesspool. Just remember that.
Give?
be me
bottomless pit supervisor
in charge of making sure the bottomless pit is, in fact, bottomless
occasionally have to go down there and check if the bottomless pit is still bottomless
one day i go down there and the bottomless pit is no longer bottomless
the bottom of the bottomless pit is now just a regular pit
distress.jpg
ask my boss what to do
he says "just make it bottomless again"
i say "how"
he says "i don't know, you're the supervisor"
rage.jpg
quit my job
become a regular pit supervisor
first day on the job, go to the new hole
its bottomless
It's beautiful
Does she think 4chan is the darkweb?
deep web*
it's hilarious how literally none of things she is talking about are real
she speaks in myth
just another gorilla-ass opinion
2014 tumblr was absolutely w i l d i n when it came to what they believed without verifying
^modern^ ^day^ ^tumblr^ ^is^ ^not^ ^much^ ^better^
No idea what the comments are on about. 4chan is where "kike" and "removed" are used as prepositions. Home of /pol/, etc. You have to be clueless or want to mislead if youre implying greentexts represent 4chan.
removed
What mean
Also SCHLOP isn't a greentext
Slur that means bundle of sticks.
You also have to be clueless or misled to think 4chan is entirely /pol/
I have been a long observer of 4Chan, though I've long been banned for the silliest of reasons.
I have a hypothesis that increased 4Chan traffic, especially on /b and /pol indicates popularity of the alt-right movement and its many subsets, but also there is an ongoing war between troll-fueled triggered outrage and efforts to address topics with reason. Arguing on 4Chan is like arguing with Evangelical or Catholic apologists, but the fight goes on, regardless.
Also rare images pop up in /hr and /wp which is like caramel popcorn to me.
Good grief, what do you have to do to get banned from 4chan?
Pretty much, just annoy or offend a mod. They have carte blanche on what they take down and who they banhammer. Then the process to appeal involves extreme levels of contrition which I ceased being willing to perform.
Not mecessarily for breaking any actual rules.
E.g this wired article on 4chan's moderation mentions how a user who attributed the Buffalo shooter's radicalization to the site got banned for "complaining about 4chan."
...I'm not sure what I expected
at least they save animals
People think 4chan is the deep web? It's as vanilla as fucking Reddit!
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
