Should also be stated that anyone who was a moderate leftist in the early-mid 2000's would be considered a hardcore right individual today if they didn't move with the flock. That's why mainstream leftists of today have disdain for people like Bill Maher or Joe Rogan, who still profess they're still leftist because their perspective is still stuck in that time period of the pre-Obama era of the Democrat party.
Speaking of 4chan's identity of politics: yes, it was pretty left wing. Most groups that derived from 4chan (on Steam, IRCs or elsewhere) back in the day had a lot of leftist with only a few who were outspoken moderate or right wing. However, there was a chunk of those leftist that did gradually change their opinions as time went on, as well as a silent majority of people who internally were right wing and Trumps appearance acting as a catalyst for them to be more vocal. After all, there's a good reason why Ron Paul resonated with a portion of /b/ back in the 2008 primary along with /new/ starting to gain momentum with its creation in early 2010 until moot rage deleted it a year later and then reformed it as /pol/ in late 2011. That faction always existed on 4chan and was starting to brew. Goons on the otherhand were always boot licking simps. Who else would pay $10 just to get banned by Deadtax on a random whim and then willingly pay another $10 to be able to post again. Even when they invaded games, they'd always bend the knee if they felt they were going to get in trouble.
But much of the anti-conservative mindset on the internet throughout the 2000s was built around being anti-Bush, who was 2000's era of "Literally Hitler" NeoCons in general dominated conservative politics within the Senate and the Executive Branch since HW with only a few pushbacks from paleo and fiscal. The Tea Party movement in 2007-2010 was also where there was a mass wave of frustration towards the condition of the Republican Party along with Obama's policies. Just remember that Trump's arrival onto the political battlefield wasn't out of the blue, it was a cause and reaction effect of years of disenfranchised voters. Before he arrived in mid 2015, it was flat out assumed the clueless GOP would toss Dubya's younger dorky brother Jeb into the arena and Hilldawg would annihilate him in the polls.

If Null (rightfully) hates vtumors, why did he allow them to have their own general thread here to form their own community on his own site? It was a mistake with Hiromoot created /vt/ instead of just purging the vtumor obsessed subhumans. Not that that even worked as a sufficiant containment method since they would still leak out and create their own stealth threads on other boards like /v/ (like created an "Elden ring thread" with some vtuber as the OP and then the entire thread is just them talking about their favorite oshi, and then jannies don't even delete the thread and let it hit bump limit). Much like the vtumors leak out from their general on this site into other threads.

Yeah,that tumor has grown too big. People have legit brain worms worshipping some of them to high heavens. It's honestly quite bizarre to me how this whole stuff works.

Guy's probably too busy working on his new game to actually work on a site like 4chan with all the work I imagine it needs.

Notch could actually pay jannies though. And I think he'd make sure they're not troon retards.

I still can't believe there was an entire splinter board based solely around quoting people and attaching soyjaks. Everyone else accepts that part of the story and moves on. I think chan culture is not for me. Half of the things discussed in this thread make no sense to me and any research into it seems like a huge waste of time.

A splinter board that was left up for a total of 6 years out of pure neglect. GrapeApe's laziness indirectly created the cult that would eventually destroy him.

waaaay back in the day i played eve online, and got to link up with the goons for some big ole' space lag.
anyway, it was ran by absolute fucking control freaks and zero fun was allowed and my whole group of mates from all over the world all agreed this was the lamest, gayest thing to ever happen to gaming.
this was before the hordes of gooners and trannies and reddit stormed the gates, and even then we saw something concerning

like, at one point whatever faggot was leading yellwed over teamspeak "SHUT THE FUCK UP NO TALKING" and it was dead silent and the chat was void and we all were like wtf is with these dudes, this isnt FUN

 

[skibidis toilets]

there is a thread in 8moe /b/ about kiwifarms

I kinda hope that 4chan doesn't come back. I've wasted 15 years watching it get worse and worse and worse. The only good thing to come out of it is some anon telling me how to find asian massage parlors around me and now all the girls at this one that I go to really like me. They said I'm the best customer and talk about me when I'm not there because all the other customers cum too fast and I guess have small dicks.

Worse

>Implements the ability to stream on 4chan
>Puts a recommended tab for streamers that's permanently glued to the side of every board like youtube recommendeds
>You can watch somebody stream inside any thread, so you have entire threads that are just livechats of a streamer.

Your name is fitting

It's cute how many people still think mods/jannies will admit any wrongdoing. They are fucking egoists,psychopaths,sociopaths who think they can do no wrong. Also they want (You) dead especially when your views are the opposite of theirs. Most of them were useless powertripping niggers. Good riddance they want to bail after the d0x.

Some of the /j/ leaks and IRC screencaps even suggest there was infighting between themselves, with jannies being resentful of the mods for reining their tantrums in when the retard bell was rang.
4chan's moderation team is even at war with themselves.
From personal experience, I've never had much issue with mods unlike many others here or elsewhere. It's always the jannies that have postblocked me and sent ban requests to the mods, and many of those ban requests were not followed up on. So I think in most cases, it's almost always the janitors who are triggerhappy.

Genuinely that shit is depressing. Like it actually makes me sad.
And these kids are gonna learn the hard way that they are not your friend. Just like how actual celebrities are not your friend. Except in this case I'd argue Vtubers are far worse considering their entire job is more or less to syphon money from lonely losers.
Vtubers have and always will strike me as somewhat predatory in nature especially the "official" ones. It's almost guaranteed the suits have meetings and shit about how to capitalize on parasocial relationships as much as possible. It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
All they really care about is your money and these kids are gonna have to learn that eventually.

it's nothing new. in the 60's you had girls go apeshit over some dudes with funny hair. if they had internet we'd have endless posts about it everywhere because it's the internet connecting the whole globe, and not only your village in bumfuck nowhere.
that type of "affection" always existed.
as for how corporate you can go and exploit it, a lot of that is organic. if the vtuber isn't enjoyable, why would anyone watch? and even if (s)he is doesn't means it's super para-social
much easier to figure out how to boost profile and fleece it via merch.

tbh posts like that already read like people who only look in from the inside and really have no clue. even if a vtuber goes full GFE it will inevitably make others dislike it. there is no uniform "vtuber simp" demographic.

So, did this thread just turn into a 4cuck rapefugee camp?

it's a community watch thread where now the community watches itself...

Yeah that's true however mods had the power to change the site overall yet it was getting worse and worse. That's why i blame both parties in this case,the very few who wanted to make things better were unfortunately noise in the big retard chamber.

>"The VTuber thread in Multimedia has been one of the most active threads of the site for years, and has so many views from guest visitors that it is one of the top 5 most viewed threads."
>"View views views"
Oh that's why.

It doesn't help that people in threads would interact with the niggers and jeets. There was always some faggot trying to start unnecessary bullshit and some gullible retard would ALWAYS respond. I tried telling people many times not to respond and just leave them be but I was ignored. That's how we got the endless salesnigger threads/posts on /v/ and /vg/, people non-stop talking about trannies or accusing everyone of being a tranny, and bottom of the barrel shitposting that plagued the site. Honestly a disaster from almost everyone involved.

The lonely generation and it's consequences has been disastrous for the internet.
When life consists of going to work and coming back to an empty home ad infinitum these lonely people look for anything to latch onto, what better object than a "cute" girl who gives them an ounce of attention for their monetary contributions.

It's become a billion dollar industry with parallels to what made MLP so popular and its fanbase so insufferable.
