I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    I remember 4chan when it was “good”

    Back then 4Chan was all about how funny your content was. Nationality, sexuality, gender, economic status… none of it mattered a bit.

    Its a cesspit now, but it was responsible for some truly epic shit.

      I’ve never really been on 4chan for any length, but I remember some of their greatest hits- managing to almost win a contest to name the next mtn dew flavor ‘hitler did nothing wrong’, or that one time they got Taylor Swift to do a show at a school for the deaf.

      Kinda edgy, extremely amusing.

      When it was good?

      I was on 4 Chan 20 years ago and even back then it was full of gore, snuff type photos and CP. It was and always will be a cesspool.

        Yeah about 20 years ago.

        The vibe was different, it was racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic jokes. Now it feels like a bunch of racists sexists bigots and homophobes telling jokes. Nobody cared about who anyone really was, it was a shittalking shitposting competition. At some point it stopped feeling like bantz, it just started to feel ugly.

        Maybe I just grew up a bit, but I at least remember it being that way.

          I feel like the world grew up and accepted that these jokes aren’t funny, but the small subset of people who are actually bigoted ignored the memo. But there is definitely a growing up element to it as well
