how the fuck am I learning just now that 4chan is gone

4chan the website is unavailable. 4chan the ideology is very much alive. The culture of 4chan has invade every aspect of society. Everywhere you look, wojaks, pepes, the chad/stacy paradigm, the concept of "normies", redpill, etc. The White House posts 4chan memes. The "chad" emoji that everyone uses has blonde hair and blue eyes because a 4channer drew that image to say that the aryan race is superior. The disappearance of the website is like the withering of the state. The ideology does not need to hide within the website anymore because it is all around us. It already served its purpose. To quote Trump, "Everything's computer." And everything is 4chan.
-
I don't think it invaded every aspect of society, I think it's the other way around. 4chan was a product of society, 4chan didn't cause a new society to emerge.
-
4chan convinced thousands of boomers that a secret politician named Q was leaking government secrets. Those same boomers raided the capitol building on the funniest day in American history.

the base shapes the superstructure
BUT THE SUPERSTRUCTURE ALSO SHAPES THE BASE
-
Use dialectics. Yes, 4chan is a product of social conditions that made it a certain way, but every part of culture can take on a life of its own and come back around to shape the conditions that gave it its first breath.
-
Exactly, Western society and therefore the internet, is inherently racist and fascistic. It's simply a mirror of the real world.

-
I thought chad/stacy and redpills were from r/incel?
-
Naw the Chad/Stacy thing is from a 4chan copypasta and "redpill" was from old PUA forums during the early 2010s (which they stole from The Matrix).

In my memory, the origin of "Chad" was popularized from the /r9k/ board on 4chan. /r9k/ was a board on 4chan which had mainly one rule which said that no two posts were allowed to have the same text or image. 4channers who posted on the board, referring to themselves a robots, would use the board as like a blog. It soon became a place where socially awkward 4channers would complain about their lives. The characters "Chad" and "Stacy" were made by r9k users to make fun of normal people who they called "normies". The way that people use the term Chad now is to mean a badass guy. It's the same meaning in both, but on r9k, "Chad" was derogatory, but now in culture, it is a positive term.
Reddit didn't invent incels. Reddit is just a place where people gather.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan#/r9k/
According to wikipedia, the r9k board was a gathering place of the incel community.
It kind of proves my point that 4chan culture has assimilated into mainstream culture and people don't even know it.

All the trash comes from 4chan + 8kun and the edgelord behavior with racism and homophobia, (alt right too in a way) , incel behavior like crying about "normies" and announcing violent attack thing was derived from 2channel and it all started because Hiroyuki wanted to bypass Japanese censorship and host in Amerikkka. 2channel had been hacked similarly in the past under but way more details were leaked including addresses and credit cards. He bought 4chan from Poole and it suffers the same fate. In Japan though he has been more of a celebrity and has been on tv shows and commercials. He was also involved with NicoNico and I remember seeing parts of it even spread to China(teenagers mostly). Hiroyuki was the worst thing to happen since the dawn of the internet. Groyoper like behavior is spreading everywhere in the world.

I'm not sure that the original chad/virgin meme was meant to be serious. It's clearly silly.
-
It's kind of like when a 35 year old hears some kids saying "rizz" and then the 35 year old starts saying "rizz" as a joke and then eventually the 35 year old is saying rizz unironically.
They think "oh I'm just being silly and joking" but eventually the culture has influenced them and they don't know why.
-
Did you know that twitter nazis have been spamming the
image? It's also silly. Most people would look at that and laugh. But it's a way to get a conversation started that can very easily be hijacked by a bad actor to get people to believe something really horrible. The same way we would use the provocative phrase "Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin" to start a wider conversation about Western Europe and the USA's complicity in fascism and how the USSR were the only ones actually destroying fascism. -
-
I remember hearing "You look like a brad" on tv a couple of times before Chad was a thing.
-
-
and it was all a psyop
-
GOOD post
-
-
4chan changed its name to x the everything app.
-
it is pretty insane when the front page of twitter looks exactly like /b/ when i was 12. same dumb ass racists posting racist memes. on fuckin twitter. ive never been a big user of twitter but the fact that some billionaire can just buy a platform like that and turn it into something resembling a notoriously racist and fucked up website is a failure of capitalism. nobody should have that sort of power over communication
-
I have a few sports teams / journalists bookmarked on twitter and it's so funny how they'll post something like a pre-match injury report and all the replies are just like "hottest pussy you've ever seen discount in bio" or "I'm a badass millionaire living the showstopper lifestyle $$$$ retweet this for a chance to win $10k of my fortune" every fucking time lmao. Can't imagine what anything beyond the most mainstream bots are looking like these days
-
At least on /b/ the vile racists weren't bold enough to post under their real human names
-

Elon cancelled USAID to kill Twitter's biggest competitor in nazi content.

Sounds like you have a life, honestly. Good for you. :)

Apparently 4chan’s code hadn’t been updated since 2016
Also a lot of the 4chan mods had .edu and .gov emails so that’s interestingThat was a rumor, there were no .gov emails and only a few .edu emails. You can find the list of leaked mod emails here
Still glad I never went on that shitty site
-
So 4chan was
?-
It was only a rumor
Here is the list of leaked mod emails
-
-
Do we have a source on this? That would be very interesting
-
-
From what I gather 4chan was dying anyway, which makes sense because spaces like twitter exist which get the nazis even more reach and lax moderation.
-
Lowtax gets one last victory as he burns in hell
-
It is weird that so much of current society can be traced back to him. If anything disproves great man theory that has to be part of it. Just as he is not a great man no one will remember him and that he disproves it.
- great man theory shit man theory
History is defined not by great leaders born with innate skill, but by the opportunistic scumbags who just got lucky enough to suck other scumbags into their black hole of shittiness.
-
Wouldn't know, i've invested all of my time and money into mangosteen.
-
-
-
Bc it's irrelevant
-
honestly, chicken jockey being the last post is the one thing that is absolutely funny to me
I completely forgot 4chan existed at all so it’s funny seeing it end like this
-
i wouldn't say that. a shocking amount of internet culture originated or was popularized on 4chan and the 4chan users spreading their filth on the other five websites.
-
-
4chan got hacked by even worse chuds, but thankfully less relevant chuds.
Still good riddance. One less hog breeding ground and it was one of the larger ones.
-
Hopefully user migrations to other sites like 8kun or wizardchan are diffuse enough that the user base loses its culture or at least is unable to attract much new blood.
Basically the r/chapotraphouse > hexbear treatment.
-
Agreed. I’m under no impression that 4chan is gone gone, but having them split up will unironically make the internet a lot safer.
I’ve always likened 4chan to a digital mafia. Yeah, there’s still plenty of gangs to worry about, but one of the big mobs is out of the picture.

-
4chan is not needed anymore since twitter has become a much better 4chan.
-
it was never needed...
-
-
Oh good. I never learned how to use 4chan which made me feel dumb. It's done and gone and so too is my shame! Aaahahahahahahaha!
-
Not knowing how to use 4chan is a badge of honor.
-
-
it only happened a few days ago
-
About time spits
-
News to me, good riddance. I wonder what finally killed it?
-
it got hacked
-
they were using an outdated version myphpadmin and someone exploited that i think. apparently the person that did it was on the 'inside' for a while
-
Now, I've been on and off 4chan for 20 years. Nah, never have I paid for pass, but I really hope they'll be back.
I've always liked the anonymity, in the good and the bad. There's a place for it.
It's sometimes brutally honest, sometimes full of lies. It's all up to reader - there's no karma, no rewards for posters.
I have led this kind of it projects, it wouldnt be that big of a deal to organize a team to tackle the probs. Lets see how it goes
-
You like it because you’re not the target of the crusty roaches that make up that site
-
Man I'm woth you in that one. Maybe an unpopular opinion but that site mde more damage than good. I cannot even believe how the fuck they manage to get scot free with all the shit related to users deaths the pulled off.
-
I only read /v/ and /g/. Didnt really see anything bigger there, after habbo hotel raids.
-
-
I hope the site fucking explodes and you go cry in a corner or some shit waa waa that site was a hellhole that deserved only death
-
Hey,
I've only been on /v/ and /g/ last 15 years. I'm sure there's shit on both of those, but alas, same thing is true on fediverse, too.
-
-
Boohoo the Nazi site got taken down.
-
Going onto /mlp/ to ask which pony has the largest futa cock and then to /pol/ to complain about removeds being to uppity then to /a/ to say that osaka is best girl then to/b/ to post photos of my liquid shit in the toilet bowl
