Congress basically forced doxxed moot by Congress by being forced to testify. He originally wanted to refuse and stay home, but he would have gone to jail if he did.
4chan?! Fuuuuck dat.. Prolly got no games..
/b/ was never good.
rs.4chan.org was fucking awesome, though.
He finally became the little girl.
He made 4chan because SomethingAwful got tired of him and his friends shit posting anime.
And by 'anime' you mean hentai and loli.
Yeah that's plainly worse than everything that's happened because of this.
The founder of the biggest anonymous image board wants to be left alone, what a shocker!
I met Moot at Otakon 2007 and he was kind of a dick. But here's a fun bit of 4chan lore - When asked why he named it 4chan, he said that he wanted an English version of 2chan, and 4chan sounded cool because it was pronounced like "fortune". Thus the logo is a 4 leaf clover, for good fortune.
I've never seen this mentioned anywhere online, so I wonder if he was just making a joke.
i've always thought the logo was supposed to be reminiscent of the titular main character of Yotsuba&! which i think is a 4koma series.
I have heard this fact before. Might have been on a 4chan retrospective video
I mean in all honesty if a time traveler did come back and wanted to do their best to destroy Society couldn't have done much better job really.
The time traveler was the one who convinced moot to sell. It all started going downhill after that.
Fuck, you're right!
I would say Roger Ailes takes the cake there...
Does anyone remember canv.as? I loved that site. It was a really okay photo editor that's better than every other free option around now. Me and the other guy who used it were so sad when it folded.
i wish her luck on her transition
Would be kind of ironic for the founder of 4chan
Not really, there's a lot of queer folk on 4chan.
In fact, everyone is fake and gay.
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.
There is a green text about how some eccentric thought could derail someone's entire life by finding other eccentric people on the internet.

I think 4chan sadly always was kind of a mirror of society
Fly high, moot. Be free.
Slither low my reptilian friend.
He must have fulfilled his dream and become a little girl.
Then he’d just be brutalized by his own platform.
