I mean, yeah, exactly. No one is making Klonoa 3 and I want to make it everyone's problem.
Man, i remember being like, 16, it's 2005 and /b/ is raiding an early right wing streamer or stormfront, and we're starting to do "activism" on the internet and it's pretty robustly left wing even if not like, really grounded in theory and prone to liberal derailment.
But like, all those harassment targets followed us back because it turns out "don't talk about 4chan" said tongue in cheek isn't real opsec.
It was still a shithole full of things I can't excuse and won't defend full stop - I still remember when the vibe could've gone a very different way, and I die a little inside remembering the agonizing witnessing of the fascist slide, because it did happen god damn it, i remember.
I checked in recently and the porn was all race shit and cuckold stuff, the incel vibes were off the charts worse than they'd ever been when i was younger, the earnest posts were fucking deranged. It's really sad. It's a shame they should all probably be consigned to the wall because a psudo-anonymous org is probably a useful idea for activism
My first exposure to 4chan is reading about them going after Scientology. I never went on it because it seemed bad then, but it clearly has changed since I would say about 2015ish.
oh, it was changing before i even left highschool. I saw the writing on the wall because the 2008 election is about when the stormfront shit really amped up in response to obama's candidacy and subsequent presidency.
I stuck around, partly because i didn't want these shitheads displacing me on a place i considered a primary community for me, but also I felt like there was a rhetorical battle to be fought. When you're anonymous, the winning pov is usually the one that can sustain itself the loudest and longest. I guess back then I really didn't appreciate that the right wing enjoys more robust support from groups very willing to astroturf spaces like that, it felt like a worthy fight.
But by the time I began transitioning and reckoning with my queerness, the final straw was how deeply sick and unwell the lgbt community is there. I realized that maybe this place was super toxic and that it was time to go.
I'm mostly embarassed, but I still get wistful about what might've been
4chan was bad before 2008 I think we we're just too young to realise how bad it was. I do reminisce, but I think I'm even banned from greentext subs because I always tell people theyre posting bigoted garbage, so I get accused of rage bait and trolling.
a post from 2008, cw food, sfw
I spy with my little eye a word beginning with N
Hogs oink at Boondocks because the N-word is there and because they agree with Uncle Ruckus. They're utterly irredeemable.
Riley thought it was his name until he was 3!
Of course, the seemingly grounded take must be addled with thinly veiled white supremacy if it comes from 4chan, hotbed of racism.
4chan is too poisoned it is beyond saving
None of these vermin from that site will be missed when they become worm food.
The second image is just named after the video where they screenshotted it (hence the garbage quality), which is explaining the concept including a word beginning with n. Out of all the things to get angry at 4chan for this is very mild.
Honestly I was just pointing it out because I thought we had a rule for providing content warnings for things containing racial slurs.
Should have kept the original dialogue since it still fits.
“This is a perfectly good moment to throw your life away!”
Just before he got banned from Twitch, I remember Asmongold posting that it seems there are woke games that are either good or bad. The man is as dumb as a rock but that also means he's too dumb to remember to keep the grift going.
The dialectic is ever in motion.
the rage bait from the new dragon age veilguard is gonna be off the charts
Just saw Gamer TM complaining about how the game encourages you to be trans because it gives you more options. Holy shit gamers are so shallow lmao.
