4chan got hacked

[Wolfmanfur]

4 chan died in 2014 this is just soyjacks pissing on the grave.

It was always garbo. It was just a bunch of shitlords who spammed the same unfunny memes over and over again. If it wasn't Pepe the frog, it was the npc wojak, if it wasn't the npc wojak, it was a groyper (a stankier-looking pepe) and so on. Before that, it was Pedobear that got the treatment with its own variants that I can't remember the names of.
The only difference from old 4chan is the new 4chan went under heavy redditification around 2018.

2channel was always infinitely better and had a more pure internet culture with its tight-knit community and various memes, gags and no politics. It didn't catch on because it's in japanese. The japanese internet in general is more fun than the english internet which is often full of bitterness for others and folks who want to start drama just for attention.

Am I wrong, though?
I reckon I hit the bullseye. There's no originality on 4chin.

You simply weren't there when it was good, 4chan was the ground zero for memes and every internet phenomenon in the early days. The fact you can't discern a difference between old and new 4chan is the only evidence anyone should need that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yes, that includes Pepe the frog, wojak, soyjak and Pedobear. What's your point?

They came up with 1% of internet memes and spammed them to the ground meanwhile the other 99% either came from sites like youtube, >reddit, instagram, twitter or most likely from the japanese internet.

i'll sign off with this image, I was raised on 4chan and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I was never a big 4chan user, but I always thought /vr/ was pretty chill. The culture varied by board.

has kiwifarms shut down registration?
Josh tend to do that whenever stuff like this happens iirc

Surprisingly still no, even after a couple days of 4chan refugees showing up en-masse.

While I'm at it, I'll list some classic memes and their origins, they often get attributed to 4chan by normies like our friend, but they had nothing to do with it, it just got reposted there.

"4chan was the ground zero for memes and every internet phenomenon in the early days."
My ass!

The only other meme besides Pedobear (and its varianst including seal of approval) I can attribute to pre-2010's 4chan is pools are closed and it's a copypasta that accidentally turned into a meme on the wider internet after they raided habbo hotel.
Modern 4chan also started the backrooms meme accidentally with a copypasta and I know some of you guys don't like the backrooms, but that's the only modern 4chan meme I can think of besides pepe and wojak.

Actually 50% of classic western memes originated from SomethingAwful, they're also shitlords, but I have more fond memories of them and would be sad if they disappeared someday, nothingh of value would be lost if 4chan never resurfaces.

I was never a big 4chan user, but I always thought /vr/ was pretty chill. The culture varied by board.

I haven't really touched /vr/, so I can't say, but it's hard to notice the differences in culture when the bigger boards cause most boards to homogenize. /mlp/ felt a lot like /pol/ (or /pol/-lite, it certainly wasn't as bad as /pol/) at times with the weird racism and antisemitism despite mlp being probably "too weird and cringe" for the average /pol/ goer.
The only boards where that didn't happen mostly had folks who were helplessly mentally ill like /x/ or /qa/ or were so restrictive and moderated that it just couldn't happen.

2channel was always infinitely better and had a more pure internet culture with its tight-knit community and various memes, gags and no politics. It didn't catch on because it's in japanese. The japanese internet in general is more fun than the english internet which is often full of bitterness for others and folks who want to start drama just for attention.

It's not just "thing, but japan", there's actually no bs like /pol/ on 2channels which is why it's bettah.

I can remember Nyan Cat and This is Sparta because they're iconic, I remember none of these. The only thing I vaguely remember in this list is R34 which is from the third line I think? So influencial!

It's not even the grounds zero for the meme, apparently it came directly from IRC channels and was reposted to encyclopedia dramatica first before 4chan.

Edit: Rickrolling came from youtube not 4chan, literally said it myself earlier. anyhow point still stands

The SCP Foundation?

It's not a meme, it's a community and one that rejects its roots.

Doge? classic meme????

Yes and so is mlg and raining tacos. It's from 2010, it counts as a classic.

Damn Daniel, back at it again with the racism!
Good grief! The only good thing that came from 4chan is all the effort to archive art of Averi because they latched onto her artist's racism. Thanks for the effort, appreciated!

I...I...I....keep.... seeing...this stupid FUCKING FOX EVERYWHERE, what's the deal with it.

it's the fursona of one furry artist called FiddleaFox that was quite popular in 2021, they were outed as being transphobic and for being racist on discord

edit: why did some of you fuckers react with based? all of you are getting the electric chair
