The apex of "chan culture" as of now is soyjak.party. The site itself is just the shadow-play of that noumena.

It was a good intro to shock sites back in the early 00's. And was a sort of shock site itself. But yeah, you're right./b was never good
And you know what's the irony? That there are already lots of boards at 4chan solely for porn and yet these braindead coomers have to spam their shitty porn stuff at all NSFW non-porn boards. Yet the moment you post some images that are slightly sexual (but still sexual) at boards like /v/ and /co/ you get banned for "posting porn".Take a break from getting psyoped by big tech algorithms on twitter/boomerbook to get psyoped by discordfags on 4chan.
The site is too full of pornography to be anything but brain melting. Even on blue boards like /int/ it's softcore coomer bait non stop. Seeing this much casual porn mustn't be good for the brain.
/qa/ was my favourite board for a while. It was a 4chan board about posting soyjaks. It got invaded by a shitty discord (one of the mods even has a fucking shota image lmao) and psyoped hard with trans stuff. After months of non stop trans threads being pushed down our throat in lieu of harmless wojak shitposting the userbase raided /lgbt/ and the board has been taken down ever since. Was fucked to see a relatively small and pretty innocent board get annihilated by discord trannies. Soyjak.party is more or less the same thing as /qa/ and part of the agora's webring but it's just not the same.
/r9k/ even had a discord that literally blackmailed and groomed it's users in to becoming trannies. Shuaby a man known for being a robot who livestreamed his suicide was apparently a victim of it.
Idk what /b/ used to be. But nowdays it's like 90% porn. When I first got into 4chan, I legit thought it was like the misc porn board or something lol/b was never good
Banger line.It's like, if someone punches you it means they care a bit about you to hit you.

People who start threads on /v/ kinda have this assertive tone to them, and you also get a lot of the usual crap like "why did it flop", "play her game", "why haven't you played x" so you're not imagining it that's just how it is; this is coming from a newfag who only started browsing 4chan earlier this year. I never really posted anything, and the people who do most of the times would pretend to ask a question but just want to have their ego stroked. Though replying to people on 4chan can be fun since you can actually disagree and have a different opinion, or troll anonymously without worrying about karma points unlike rebbit that buries your comment.it's obvious that some of the users here still post on 4chan from time to time.
Unironic gamer culture is cringe. It doesn't matter if it's justified or not; everything is cringe to a certain degree but the most based thing you can do is to ignore everyone else and decide what's cool and what's not yourself.I have begun to believe that video games are 'cringe', even though I don't want to believe that labeling things as 'cringe' is ever justified.
Yeah 4chan was basically dead by 2010, which is why I find it incredible some people are nostalgiaposting about 4chan "back in 2010" in this thread. I remember how much of a husk it was then, I really don't want to think about how fucked it is now.I remember 4chan back in the 2000s. It was the birth of most of the early memes, outside of Something Awful I guess, of course 4chan was an offshoot of members from that forum. Before rickrolling was known by everyone in the world, it was duck rolling, and I remember when trolling someone by linking to a video was just people linking to the Captain Picard song from Dark Materia, a much better choice. I remember an old joke about the difference between 4chan and >reddit at the time: >reddit was 13 year olds pretending to act like adults, while 4chan was adults pretending to act like 13 year olds. At 4chan in those days nearly everyone was in on the joke, nearly everyone got the subtlety that was being said, and it was a breeding ground for absolute hilarity. You shut the hell up until you murked loar, and you didn't even know what the hell that was in the beginning.
It eventually became a cancerous and dead husk of itself a very long time before Moot sold it. More and more, you would get people that didn't get the joke. Eventually, these people became the overwhelming majority.
There's an internet law out there that I don't think I've ever seen talked about before, the funniest internet parodies are always the most subtle, as long as you're in on the joke. However, the more subtle the joke, the more people will take it seriously, which is of course more funny to those in the know, but more damaging to society because idiots are being radicalized in to dumb shit. The flat earth society started off as a joke, after all.
Hell, we've even got the onion writing amicus briefs now. The right to parody must absolutely be preserved, but it's not without effects to many morons out there.
I don't really know what chan culture is like nowadays. I stopped by some chan a few years ago, I can't remember which, and it was just god awful. I have no desire to go back there.
