Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Enig]

Someone saying I look like David Bowie if he trooned out is no lie one of the greatest compliments I've ever gotten on the farms

Now take the next step and eat nothing but cocaine and peppers and proclaim yourself a fascist leader of another planet.

He likes mascot characters. His favourite anime is Keroro Gunsou -- make of that what you will, especially in light of him saying the age of consent should be 15.

You would have to be sick to watch that many episodes of anything.

Most of the characters I like are adults actually.

"Most the characters I like are adults actually". But not all of them. So you're a pedo like all the other Gundam shippers.

I'm not going to continue with these idiots. Now the cunt with a haunted vagina will shit up the thread with them for a week.

Nah, I don't think even I have the power to survive that. I'm a raptor, not an alien.

I can't believe I'm a pedo for shipping two Slavic dudes in their late 20s

He's a speedwatcher. He wants to watch all "/m/ media" ever made so that he can update his eldritch scoring spreadsheet and his wiki so that he can become the king of /m/. It's pathetic.

We're already there. It will just be endless pepes, wojaks, gigachads and other recycled garbage, sometimes variations of which that can be likened to the second or third stage of the human centipede with how recycled and lacking in content they are. You're not allowed to make or post anything funny anymore, if it's not swiped away by normalfags and reposted on reddit/youtube/twitter and completely run to the ground then you will have houlier than thou types like zoomerpeaks here who will shout and cry that you're a baddy bad man for daring to post what they don't like. It doesn't help that jannies don't allow for creation of organic board culture anymore, the moment we have any fun they shut it down and back to the wojak and pepe mines we go.
4chan has been dead for over a decade, even if it's still being puppeteered by the feds as a honeypot it doesn't change anything, we're already in the post-4chan meme world.

We were already there with pop culture, in pop culture what is made is decided with trends, test audiences, what makes the most money, what's the safest, etc so you just get the same shit over and over with the occasional outlier which is absorbed back into the fold to be copied and sanitised. The internet until the very early 10s was a creative place free from the restraints of popular culture to make unique things only possible in that space.

If he doesn't remember how niche most Marvel properties were before MCU he is definitely a zoomie. Zoomerpeaks, more like it.

I have a magazine from 2010 talking about Minimates, which were a line of extra-articulated building block figures mainly based around geek culture IPs, and how great it was that Minimates was making minifigures of comic book characters like the Avengers that were way too niche to be picked up by big brands like Lego or Mega at the time. @Shiverpeaks has a point in that before the MCU, everyone knew who the big characters were (Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Superman) and the basic lore behind them and maybe even read some comic books for their favourite heroes (my grandfather read lots of Thor comics and he was a typical working man with a family). However, you are also right in that the MCU has made niche properties like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers that only devoted geeks would know about mainstream. We're seeing the same thing with Star Wars, where everyone knew the big OT characters, but now they're making previously niche characters/ideas like Ahsoka, Thrawn, the New Republic, and Mandalorians mainstream by taking them from their homes in niche cartoons/comics/novels and putting them in the equivalent of prime-time television.

Yeah, the big properties were always very popular, for example there were those cartoons in the 90s and there was a craze of live action movies that predate MCU in the early 2000s for some reason. However, once the MCU kicked off for good, there was not stopping it, and Marvel was taken over by normalfags.
It wasn't that bad at first, actually. The Iron Man movies were good, so was the Captain America movie, but once Avengers came out it was over.
Today, everybody has it hard. We have once somewhat niche franchises like Fallout going from somewhat mainstream after their first successful console games in 2008 to absolutely mainstream now with the TV show, and the main MO of all media companies now is to re-make everything for the "modern audience" so that nothing remains sacred. Everybody wants their own MCU, and everything will eventually become the modern Star Wars. @AWizard is right about the state of media.

....so is Shiverpeaks a gen Zoomer? A post he made in another thread would make more sense.

I'll bet 21-24, and he's trying his hardest to look like a heckin oldfaggerino.

 

[Bonesjones]

You can't bully autistic weirdos off the internet, they don't have the comprehension to know how to fuck off.

 

[3deadniggers]

Fallout 3 sold 12.4 million copies. If that isn't mainstream I don't know what is.
Clone wars was getting 3-4 million viewers early on and settled into 1-2 mil each episode.

A trait of a modern anon is they have to complain normalfag things they enjoy aren't niche any more. When they were never niche to begin with. It's fine to enjoy something popular.

Most of which were children, teenagers, and geeks, not normies.

Doesn't matter. It's still a mainstream TV Series. Like Dungeons and dragons was mainstream in the 80s. Geeks fund extended media, but most of the stuff they consume is mainstream.

Sure, you can bully people off named sites. That's working well isn't it? Retard.

You can't bully someone that is already dead inside.

This is called petulant contrarianism and it's what makes modern Chantards insufferable.

Like most of the issues people try to frame here as a modern thing caused by newfags this isn't modern in the slightest. 4chan has always been insufferably contrarian. 4chan has always had this sort of "hipster syndrome" thing where people hate anything popular.

Just like how /b/ was never good even before the great newfag invasion of 2007.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

On the topic of /b/ does anyone here remember Jesus Chatline? It was a livestream show from around 13 years ago that was popular on /b/ where two Canadian comedians did a parody of a religious call in show and trolls would call in? One of my all time favorite things from the site. Very similar to Deagle Nation where it was trolls getting trolled by trolls but it was hilarious.

 

[Gem Eater]

The worst part is, we're like two or three phases down from that bottom one now.

Tried my hand at it.

Garrod/Tiffa from Gundam X is a cute ship, sue me. I'm also a based Quess Paraya enjoyed because I was a lot like her at that age.
