Former Chan users and their taste for Power Tripping - An interesting trend I've noticed online and irl

[Hrafn]

I'd be inclined to say that I'm hardly the first person who's noticed this, but it's often been the case when I see someone disavow chan culture online, they're some kind of ultra woke sjw mongoloid that seems to almost get off on policing what people think, say and feel.

I bring this up as I ran into someone recently who says that she used to lurk kiwi and the chans, but now disavows it and would rather that chan culture as a whole be destroyed. Conversations with her were migraine inducing as she always spoke to me condescendingly and by and large, she treated anyone outside of her little bubble like they were retarded unless they agreed with everything she agreed with.

I've seen this behaviour in randos online too, especially with current events regarding the US supreme court and so called social justice advocates calling Clarence Thomas the gamer word.

My theory is that these people posted on the chans in order to indulge in their toxic power fetish or something else along those lines. It gave them a high.

Personally, looking at what I see, anyone who says they disavow the chans or kiwi isn't "vewwy vewwy sowwy".

They just get their jollies in other ways now. It's known as is that Zoe Quinn was a helldump poster, for example.

At least we have the balls to admit that we like laughing at dumb and stupid shit.


Anyone else have any thoughts along those lines? Genuinely curious, kiwi frens.

They can do and say what they want in the Chans. So they dip their toe in, may find it fun, but then their Sjw surroundings or background guilts them.

It’s like drawing swastikas as a kid. You shouldn’t do it but you get a perverse delight in the act.

Those fucks you are talking about are legit sheep. They are brave enough to venture off the reservation but afraid of being cast out if start thinking for themselves

 

[RichardMongler]

Ahem, the proper term is imageboards, thank you.

Yep. Or they find that, since people on 4chan/here can say whatever they want, then shockingly(!) they find that some people don't agree with their opinions or say things they take exception to. So they throw a tantrum about it, and it's all sour grapes, etc.

Actually that sounds like it might be what happened to your friend @Hrafn. She enjoyed 4chan/Kiwi right up until someone said something she didn't agree with (maybe someone called her a roastie, or opined about how much they love Roe vs Wade being dismantled, or how Ukraine is a joke country full of the vodkaniggers of vodkaniggers). And worse, nobody else seemed to care that her feelings were hurt! So she fucked off to the more 'mainstream' social media where she can ban/block/ratio people that say things she doesn't like. Many such cases.

Internet brings out the worst in some people, some people realize they can use it as a tool to hurt others and face zero potential consequences.

They're sick people that get off on hurting others, I think of the phonecalls of the parents of the "an hero" kid making their lives miserable, that was a case of classic Chan culture that was never funny, but sick as fuck people getting off on hurting others.

While the transition from Channer to Woke may seem odd, I think for some it doesn't matter the reason, there can be literally any reason like misspelling "an hero", just so long as you can use the internet to try to ruin some other person's life and get that dopamine hit, you'll do it, it's incredible how evil it is.

And for the record, making fun of the phrase "an hero" is fine but if you think calling the actual parents and saying shit like "you're son is burning in hell" is funny and not taking it too far you are a sick piece of shit.

Maybe some of these people did stuff like that, later regretted it so they dressed it up in Woke politics to justify their dopamine hit of making others miserable.

 

[Divine right to rule]

Chan culture makes you resilient to being shocked or insulted on the internet, something that most sensitive bitches on social media desperately need.
Of course all those cunts use and laugh at all the memes and lingo that originated on 4chan as soon as it hits mainstream a few years later.

 

[b0o0pinsn0o0tz]

I think it's people that browsed once or twice and over blow it to sound cool. Wokefags want to infiltrate and destroy things by being fake fans or in this case fake anons. It's just a variant or trying to have control over shit they obviously do not understand in the slightest because they're cunts.

 

[The Lawgiver]

I'm pretty sure I know what this shit is, it's some fucked up combo of peer pressure and reddit-ass public image shit. I've seen too many people that used to make fun of people that made sooper serius politics talk and their sexual orientation/pronouns their whole personality become exactly the thing they used to make fun of. All it takes is a mild bit of praise from those types, or even an ounce of widespread internet popularity it's fucking insane. I've rambled about this shit a few times in several threads where it's clearly relevant over the years if I remember this right, shit like the SiIvagunner and What pumpkin scenarios contain people like this, to varying degrees of acceptance from fellow hollowed out podpeople.
I think one of the main reasons I haven't gotten sucked into the nearly a decade long shithole of current year dogma is thefact I cannot bring myself to play by their rules and labels and genuinely do not view shit as "oh thats right wing bad guy!!"or"leftwing bad guy!!!"shit. It's stupid

There's definitely an easy "power status increase" aspect to this type of corruption. disavowing your old friends and throwing everyone you used to have fun with under the bus as "the bad people" is such an easy thing to do when they use the "notorious hacker 4chan!!!" site journos have constantly kept spinning it as for the last fucking decade, their personal internet beating stick before the dreaded GAMERGATE!!!

Pronoun game shit, LGBTQ rainbow poopflag shit, and claims of "neurodivergence" will serve an INSTANT power and status symbol gains in certain places onlineif you already made a name for yourself, and you can see this happen time and fucking time again with these "ex channers". Some like this that claim to be ex-channers are more than likely if not absolutely lying about being ex channers, but there's also some of the podpeople types in there, people that gained popularity from chanshit and then betrayed their friends and followers for fucking reddit and twitter points and possibly media praise, however little. Some of them are without a doubt chasing that high of acceptance after being framed as fucking demons by the uninformed masses that were fed lies involving exploding vans and twitter "anonymous" LARPer accounts by partaking in the proliferation of the lies.

 

[Niggaplease]

I have never used 4chan other to lurk
I think anyone who takes a website seriously are massive faggots who need to go outside and touch some grass.

I don't think it's quite that simple. Yes, there are people who dip their toe in and then get pulled back by SJW guilt, but I also think there are a lot of people who find the freedom to say what they want liberating and end up staying. And as for those "fucks" you're talking about... well, maybe they're not so much brave as desperate. Desperate to be heard, to have an outlet for all the pent-up anger and frustration they feel at being constantly ostracized and marginalized. Maybe the Chans offer them a sense of community that they can't find anywhere else.

 

[Where's Waldo?]

I think, for some of them... they feel like they've seen 'the worst of humanity', and that somehow... they could stop all 'teh bad rightwingers', because they think they have 'inside knowledge', or something.

The ones I've noticed are usually the trannies who realized they wanted to be a girl after already being immersed in chansoup.
They don't realize how inconsequential that it all is.

Not going after the Chans.

Simply pointing out normies find it freeing that you can say what they want there. Same time they feel guilted hanging out somewhere that mainstream says is home to the deviants and devils of the internet.

 

[WeWuzFinns]

These people are ultra conformists with weak sense of self. They know they are fucked up so they hide their true selves by adopting all the current things. The movie american psycho satirises these people. They just follow trends instead of being themselves.

 

[Linako 2.0]

I think most of those people who claim to be from imageboard users but "grew out of it" weren't really part of the community and are only claiming to for clout.

 

[PipTheAlchemist]

And for the record, making fun of the phrase "an hero" is fine but if you think calling the actual parents and saying shit like "you're son is burning in hell" is funny and not taking it too far you are a sick piece of shit.

But all retards go to hell when they die. Do you not know this?

 

[thyme]

Insecurity.

They know deep down they went there to potentially discuss not so nice things but they cannot accept maybe they, themselves are not so nice as well. So they build up all these rigid structures in their mind to justify them being there but not anybody else and they hide behind their mental constructs to avoid any sense of culpability for their actions.

There is a part of them that will not accept responsibility for their own actions and its fucking grating to deal with these kinds of people, on or offline.

E: I guess I'm saying it would be better for her to own her choices rather than act superior when she's in the same boat as anyone else. You only end up with neuroses if you're always, always trying to make yourself the good guy when it doesn't align with your actions

 

[Hitman One]

I have browsed 4chan since it was a .net domain and I laugh every time someone considers it edgy or one of the worst places on the Internet.

 

[byuu]

4chan was always a place people denounced.
An edgy offensive barely moderated shit hole that few are autistic enough to tolerate.

It got way too big for its own good.

I think that it's so important for people to have a place where they can go and say whatever they want without judgement. And I know that a lot of people feel guilty about hanging out on 4chan because they think that mainstream society views it as a home for deviants and devils. But I think that's ridiculous! There are plenty of perfectly normal, nice people who hang out on 4chan. So don't let the haters get you down!

Where's that screenshot compilation from the tranny sideshows thread of TIMs admitting to being former homophobic racist chan nazis, and apologizing for those past sins? That's all you need to prove this trend is real TBH
