Yes, dude was all over the place. Ukraine, Afghanistan, Azov batallion recruitment videos and hiding in a bush on a golf course to shoot Trump. Even though it was a last minute decision of Trump to go there.

JK I can understand. Musk on the other hand should not be on team Bire.

Anyway Democracy has run its course. You should just crown a queen who is healthy, beautiful and smart and soldiers will die for.

There was a period between Oprah and Tropic Thunder where Tom Cruise went to different comedians to help rebuild his image. I can imagine Elon trying to do that and the awkward encounters with Chappelle or like Shane Gillis.

I'd like to see Shane Gillis roast Elon like he roasts comedians at Kill Tony

Yes, but if Elon reads this, I’ll be happy to review your jokes for $250,000. They’ll more than likely come out worse. And include esoteric references like how Headhunter is worse on PS2 than Dreamcast to subtly give the Wanz a talking point.

The shitter?

[Snoopy]

I'm a bit shocked this is a thread.

Wtf were you ever doing on that shit hole of a website OP?

Nothing good has ever come from that place, regardless of the era.

It has always been utterly tasteless, immature, edgelord, adolescent-internet gobshite gutter trash.

I only read 4chan for the sports

[Polident]

As somebody who never really used either, 4chan and somethingawful defined lots of online culture. I’ll throw TheColi and bodybuilding in there, too. As I understand it, something awful had a similar situation as gaf and it’s irrelevant these days. 4chan still has influence, heavily filtered down for ordinary people to find palatable.

I mean if he’s reading this then… I’m kidding Mr. Musk!!! Just that old Bire humor! Is it sarcasm, is it satire, is it insane? WHO KNOWS!!! All I know is that a genuine genius like yourself should be given the proper attention he deserves by new well paid employees! I’ll send my application tomorrow.

[BananaBlast]

Here's the thing, I do honestly think 4chan is a flaming pile of dogshit, and deserves its reputation as one of the worst places on the internet. No one can deny it's chock full of racist, sexist, obnoxious, autistic lonely basement dwellers that just violently shit up anything good about the website (no, I'm not joking or doing a bit, this is honestly what I believe to be true). It's nearly impossible to have a decent, full-fledged conversation about anything without getting flanked by someone's shitty bait or distasteful content. I know that's the nature of internet anonymity and the website as a whole, but it's still difficult to speak too positively on something that swarms with terrible people day in and day out.

However, it definitely has earned its place in internet history, and has had an undeniable influence on all of the internet since the 2000s. To say that it didn't shape the early formation of the internet and social media in any way, is a bold faced lie. Pretty sure many of the earlier internet memes originate from 4chan, including the more recent ones, like gigachad and the wojaks.

I wouldn't expect a dishonest hellhole like Ree to admit any of that though. Hell, some of these people were probably toxic /b/tards in their "youth" and now experience nuclear levels of regret since they're super woke AF now. You know, horseshoe theory and what not.

As somebody who never really used either, 4chan and somethingawful defined lots of online culture. I’ll throw TheColi and bodybuilding in there, too. As I understand it, something awful had a similar situation as gaf and it’s irrelevant these days. 4chan still has influence, heavily filtered down for ordinary people to find palatable.

somethingawful's situation was that more and more trans/nonbinary people slowly got into positions of power as moderators while lowtax ignored his own site and let the cultural shift get out of control, to the point where every time he would show up to say "hey whoa this has gone too far" he got buried in whining and screeching and demands that he reverse his decision (whatever it was)

something something there was a subforum where the whole point was to shitpost and be an asshole and he staunchly defended the point of that part of the site, but the users fought back so he threw up his hands and said I don't care, do whatever

I think I remember him being wishy-washy on culture stuff, he liked the site's culture of being a shitgremlin and a goon but was also like "if you don't like trans people you can fuck off my site, they're valid" and the two ideas were incompatible with each other since no one is ever allowed to shitpost about trans people

eventually with his waning popularity and personal issues regarding his wife and kid leaving him, he was bullied into selling the site to a forum user, and killed himself a year later, unlike lore who managed to say y'know what fuck this, no, it's my site and I'm cleaning house

oh shit! I thought this site died like 6 months ago? would be interested in the story of how it died and came back

I'm not a fan or anything but I know of it as a historic place where lots of weird discussions and memes came from, sometimes bubbling out to the wider internet

[Daffy Duck]

Baby lesbian/gay would be like a teenager that just came out and is finding their way. 

Almost certainly that person using it on Era is appropriating it.

Got it. Genuinely never had heard or read it put that way and thought it was some Era only kind of thing.

Or in this instance I’m willing to bet it’s a man who has recently decided he’s trans but still fancies women.

The whole relationship between Buffy and Spike in season 6 was a mess.

She knew he was in love with her and used it to use him for sex in order to feel something after being resurrected.
He knew she wasn't in her right state of mind and still had sex with her anyway.

Messed up people do messed up things, shit this is like real life!!

User Banned (Permanent): Troll account

Guy didnt think not reading the entire thread would result in a ban (troll account)

Yea i dont read the whole thread who has time for that. If it annoys you just ignore it? What would anyone get upset over what a stranger on the internet says.

Video game complaints? Time to tap the sign. 

[Nintex]

4chan had many different communities. You certainly had some bad boards but you also had people sharing amazing content like high-res wallpapers, movie stills, official artwork, fanart and more you couldn't find anywhere else. 

Unfortunately like most online communities that get popular you end up in a place where you have more leechers than contributors.
People consooming content rather than adding to it, bot content and probably state actors.

[Snoopy]

[unlike lore who managed to say y'know what fuck this, no, it's my site and I'm cleaning house

Eh. Not exactly. Lore opened Gaf up to every extremist lunatic going and let them run rampage because he needed them to keep the place going. Once enough ree’s had crawled back he closed the politics section and banned the nutters. Fair enough. It’s his place but let’s not pretend he’s not a self serving prick.

As always with them, lack of self-awareness. Im sure when the HP show comes out, they will clearly ignore it or not spend the months leading up to it repeatedly whining non-stop.

[DocWager]

Having over 16,000 posts should not be a badge of honor, or a confirmation of sanity.

In fact having over a thousand posts after a year on a forum is highly questionable!!!

Last time I looked at it they had one of the worst captcha systems I can think of, probably killing any participation of people who don't want to pay for a pass
