I was on 4chan back in '06-'10 or so. Back when it was more people circle jerking about being right wing or blaming things on jews for the bit, to be edge lords. But that’s the thing about doing that - when you do it soon becomes impossible to distinguish the people doing it for laughs and the people who genuinely believe it. And eventually the people doing it for laughs leave, and all that’s left is people who believe it.
I was just there for memes, porn, and trolling. Calling a specific GameStop and repeatedly asking for battletoads in a thousand ways will always be funny to me. But eventually the shift becomes too great.
4chan has always been an ocean of piss, but it wasn’t always this concentrated.
