This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'd like to think that he grew up and is widely embarrassed for what he's done now.
He pretty much did make a website for the moden neo-nazi movement, along with gamergate, and inspiring another website that made Q-anon, something that certain members of congress believe now.
I don't know if these thing would or would not exist without this website. All I know is that it would have been less pronounced because of it.
One of the reasons 8chan was created, was that moot banned the gamergate crap from 4chan.
Yeah to me it seems very clear that 4chan is a net negative on the society. We all would have been better off if it wasn't created and I say that as someone who did find value there in the early days (had a decent programming community)
All social media is a net negative on society. Twitter has been far, far worse because it has a false legitimacy given to it by mainstream media, the much, much larger user base and terrible, terrible people using it as their soapbox.
I disagree with this very western take. Social media is huge and connects billions of people that otherwise would be disconnect. It also allowed to rise of many net positive liberal ideas especially in the eveloping countries and the incredible economical stimulation is rarely talked about.
People forget how bad the world was before internet. Sure it raises some issues but also solved much more.
There is a green text about how some eccentric thought could derail someone's entire life by finding other eccentric people on the internet.

After internet
I think 4chan sadly always was kind of a mirror of society
