Is 4chan still "edgy" in 2026? I see more racism and anti-semitism and troon hate in normie media these days.
No. 4chan has fallen.
>>2199647824chins is Reddit now. Even 9gag is chuddier, not even kidding.
We're less edgy than Instagram at this point. Racism really needed to be gatekept but instead the entire web has become 4chan
>>2199647824chan is counter culture o algoonly proper manners now
>>219964782”Edgy” 4chan was just contrarianism in response to 2010s PC culture. This was the place that birth the whole enlightened atheist movement in the 00s. Radicalized Facebook boomers killed the 4chan chud
>>219964791I think this is true.
>>219964863 (Samefag)I would unironically get banned here for posting what’s in the comments here. Or at least the thread would get derailed by BBC spam.https://9gag.com/gag/apRMLAM
>>219964782If normies are doing it it's no longer edgy
>>219964782If normies are doing it, it's no longer fun or good. We're superior by not being edgy now. We will always be contrarians and that's good.
All the political shit is normies. Winning a political debate is winning the Special Olympics. The internet has been ruined since 2010 or so.
>>219964863>>219964957What about the age of consent? Surely normies are not saying 15 year old girls are built for cock right?
>>219965227havent used twitter in years, but its insane how badly the instagram/tiktok algorithms want you to consume right wing vids lol. i click not interested on them every single time and they will not stop showing it to me. if i like a video related to literally any interest (baseball, a tv show, a musician) it immediately shoves a bunch of right wing posts that are only slightly adjacent to that hobby. the ellisons and zuck have to be killed
>>219964782Everyone ITT is missing the point. 4chan is still considered edgy by normies, and by normies I mean teenagers. A lot of the traffic on this website comes from teens who heard 4chan is the "dark web" site where you can say nigger and faggot or whatever. Obviously 4chan isn't actually the dark web, but people who spend 99% of their time on Tiktok and other forms of surface level internet view it as such.The reason you see so much edgy stuff on Instagram and Tiktok these days is because it's more accessible. People started realizing there was an audience for it, and so now instead of coming to 4chan teenagers can just open Instagram and see videos of people saying slurs or whatever they think is funny.The interest in this type of stuff is never going to die out, part of being a teenager is thinking edgy stuff is funny. What's changed is where people find that type of content.
>>219965227The racism to cuckoldry pipeline is the only reason I stay moderate in my bigotry. I stay edgy but I never fall.
>>219965228>https://9gag.com/gag/apRMLAMthey literally making jokes about fucking little girls, not even 15 years old teenagers, actual kids
>>219964782No. If anything 4chan is moderate compared to normie media
>>219965368>t.
>>219965384I think 4chan is way more accessible than normie social medias. Just due to anonymity and you don't have to register. Lower bar participating in conversation.
>>219964782I don’t care about being edgy anymore
>>219965368It's the new mainstream.Corporats only care about money and endless ragebait generates a lot of attention.Works especially well with elders
>>219964863Because you're posting on blueboard. 4chin is not really one place, it's divided into boards. What I can post on /pol/ isn't allowed on other boards and so on. If you want to post some edgy stuff go ahead, /b/ and /pol/ are your oyster
>>219965227>Sissela Epstein
>>219964782No. The average post on instagram reels is 1000x chuddier than 4chan now. It astounds me that normies are posting /pol/-tier comments with their real names and faces now. Also >>219965227 this.
>>219964887Counter culture is a dualistic culture, it just relies on the idea of a mainstream. If there was no mainstream it couldn't exist.
>>219964782That's a good thing.Imagine being an edgy retard for your whole life, posting the stupidest baits to get a second of a dopamine rush.It was fun when I was a teenager, but it could only get as interesting and "fun".Can't imagine there is anything beyond degeneracy if you're doing that as an adult.
>>2199647824chan is on its way out. The site lost all relevance
our job is done, now the whole internet is 4chan....pack up boys
>>219964782>>219965706People LOVE having an account, a post history, a system where you can like or dislike posts, etc.It just so happens that from 2013 and on, normies realized the internet was being curated from all 'problematic' content. Then Trump happened in 2016 and the site cemeted itself as the 'free speech' sites. Normies were FORCED to use 4chan. Remember when Twitter used to instantly ban you for anything not left wing?Now that the WHOLE internet is 100x as racist as 4chan ever was, normal people went there. To have their accounts, their likes, etc.We will see again once the internet becomes censored again. Until then, we are all that left
>>219964782tiktok took that spot. you get banned for everything on 4chan nowadays
>>219965707>>219967121>>219969209>it was just a phase, right fellow channers? I'm actually glad that my country is getting castrated and raped by millions of third worlders who will establish the next caliphate. It's called growing up, chud!
>>219969437I got banned on /int/... for racism against Russians and Asians. I don't know what's even the point of visiting this place if it's just another 2010 forum without nicknames
>>2199648639gag turned to shit after the ukraine war, its literally just propaganda. All the memes are gone.
>>219969501there is no code of conduct, mods just ban you for whatever fits them. a few days ago, i got banned for saying china is the center of the world
>>219964782I think it isn't anymore. It is cause a majority of 4chan users are adults now, and the taste for being controversial and provocative usually decreases as a person gets older. And this website doesn't get new users as much anymore so the racism and antisemitism is less prevalent.
>>219965706It also attracts people who don't care about saving face because they don't want their account banned. Almost every good infodump on non-anonymous media comes from burner accounts. With 4chan there's a low bar of entry, but you get higher highs to go with the lower lows. Can't stand having an online discussion with someone and they're focusing on optics more than whatever subject is being discussed.
>>219964782Instagram is tenfold chuddier and edgier compared to 4chins nowadays
>>219964957https://9gag.com/gag/adBz96VOpen this shit, the first post appears.KEK
>>219969577What I don't like is that most of them are literal muslims. Yeah Instagram is fully anti-Israel and anti-Big 'Yahu. But most of them are muslims.Half of the comments on Instagram are shit like 'boycott Mcdonalds' 'RAMADAN <3' 'SUPPORT PALESTINE'.Shit made me want Israel to win
>>219969464>tf>tp
>>219969619I agree, I used to hate Jews a lot more but now that it's trendy to do so I feel like it's become cringe When I hear normie foids in my uni classes make antisemitic jokes, I feel very weird
>>219965227It's to the point where I abandoned using Instagram outside messaging friends, nonstop coal from lame ass normies larping makes it unusable. With 4chinz you have a little choice at least instead of the being forcfed through the slop trough.
>>219969430honestly this, only hope for this site is either the Dems win and censor shit again or someone else buys it from chinkmoot
>>219969757To be honest, I think the antisemitism nowadays is more about feeling the thrill of being "edgy" (you know how young people can be). I don't think it is related to any kind of hatred (unless a person is muslim).
holy bot farm
>>219970056what?
>>2199647824chan is ALWAYS contrarian. Right now /pol/ is mostly anti-Trump.Imagine showing 2026's 4chan to the Kekistanis of 2016
>>219964782This is entirely board dependent, /pol/ is still /pol/ though it's mostly just paid shills arguing with each other at this point (though probably always was)
>>219970394I'd like to hope they'd all do the honourable thing and kill themselves for shilling that jew worshipping faggot into office.

>>219970908they made it
>>219970855thats kinda sad
what makes zoomers the chud generation
>>219970855/int/>/a/ wtf? Is anime really that shit right now?
>>219964782>>2199648634chan isn't about being chuddy it's about counterculture
>>219971617Zoomers actually listened to what women had to say. And women are openly saying they hate all men except the ones that they are sexually attracted to
>>2199708554chan can't exactly market itself like other social networks can, disenfranchised chuds will find some private discord server or subreddit to sperg out on before hearing about 4chan through the grapevine. we will continue to accumulate the freaks that couldn't fit in anywhere else until everyone is sick of this place bar a few insufferable schizos
>>219965227>Nu4caca'uckThis always makes me laugh
>>219971617Counter culture to millenial-driven gigasoy culture of the 2010s Also we grew up seeing our countries get visibly shittier and browner each year under the governance of establishment centrist parties
>>219972211It was counter culture to conservative culture in the 2000s. There was a surprising amount of leftist activism back then. The 'gigasoy' culture wasn't much different than how 4chan used to be back when video games were more niche, then it went mainstream and 4chan did a full 180. Given enough time the algorithm will cause everyone to be in their own bubbles and 4chan will either be a zombified counter culture desperately seeking a new mainstream to contradict or it will be an anonymous forum. If the latter happens that's ironic because 4chan was instrumental in destroying the old BBS/forum driven Internet with their constant raids and creating a quasi-universal Internet culture.t. been here since '07
Twitter has more free speech and more extreme opinions than 4chan today.There is far more censorship, word filters, and much less diversity of opinion. I've personally gotten banned for racism here multiple times.If you are extreme right wing, racist, etc. twitter today is the place to be. /pol/ gets nothing but twitter screencaps anyway, might as well go to the source.
>>219972353This has more to do with moving images than books btw. It's on a physical level you can ask two people what a book was about and they'll tell you different things, show them a video and their opinions will differ little by comparison. You can physically prove this because even if someone knows a horror movie is fake they'll still be shocked when the jumpscare happens.
>>219971617They grew up in the 2010's where everyone went completely mental and started promoting the most neurotic political opinions imaginable.
>>219972353I've had my account locked for telling someone to kill themselves on xitter, it's not even remotely free speech. Also the shitty algorithm hides 90% of the posts and rams loads of bluetick slop down your throat all the time.
>>219969437I got banned for asking what peoples opinions of gingers were last year. Not anything derogatory about them, not implying anything (it was in a thread where you just ask random shit), just ‘what do you think of gingers’? Insane.
>>219972510There's basically no oversight on the mods so they can just ban people for fun and get paid for it unlike jannies.
>>219970855I've seen people here say that this drop is mostly due to the newer captcha being better at filtering bots, but I feel like that's a cope.Imageboards have definitely lost relevance over the years. I don't know how this site can attract new users at this point. The main draw used to be the lack of censorship and 4chan's unique culture/memes; but at this point Instagram and Xwitter are just as lax on speech, plus normies are now familiar with a bunch of terms that came from here that you see them everywhere now. It's hardly unique anymore.Teenagers today grew up in a world where social media has always been a thing, the whole concept of web forums like this one is antiquated to them.
>>219971808So 4chan will become a mix of modern /x/ and r9k ?Is that what you are saying?
>>219972645Nah. Imageboard is the jeans pants and white t-short of the internet . Its atemporal and will keep existing until internet is no more
>>219971617they are poor
>>219964863This./int/ nowadays is basically a lefty /pol/ full of virtue signaling.
>>219973373Why are Bolsonarista brazilchuds so mentally unwell and politicize everything like the retarded brown monkeys they are?
>Why are Bolsonarista brazilchuds so mentally unwell and politicize everything like the retarded brown monkeys they are?
>>219973485Drone above you, don't look up
>>219971617not having sexwomen are evil and being in contact with them destroys your brain and turns you into a slave. zoomers, being the incel generation, are free from the brainwashing
>>219964782Now we accept trans people and be citizens of the earth until normies start thinking that is the right thing again. We are part of a large cosmic meme tapestry. Educate yourself.
>>219965706I think the biggest reason is incompetent administration of the site. People here are spouting bullshit when they say Xitter or Instagram have more 'free speech' than this place. You couldn't see half of what you do on orange board on other sites.
>>219973686this place is just a honeypot and information harvesting center for profit they dont give a fuck about the user experience, like we dont even have audio on webms lmao
>>2199647824chan was one of the last places to talk about reality stranger than fiction tier rabbit holes for a long time. Back in 2016, if you talked about a blood drinking cabal of billionaires running the world you would get censored from most platforms. Many of us ended up here squeezed in with randos who just wanted to use 4chan as a platform to say the n word. But today it is pointless to talk about the evil shapeshifting pedophile blood drinker cult at the root of all the world's evil. Everyone knows about them. Nobody cares. Talking about having sex with 17 year olds is cool. E-celebs and niche thought influencers talk about it all the time. It does not even matter that a Baal effigy was lit before a giant middle eastern blood sacrifice. Nobody cares. Agartha gatekeepers are now 18 year old TikTok edit pioneers. Sauron shall control the world under a digital paniopticon. I fear there is nowhere left to go my brother. The senators took our gems but no one wants to fight the war against Satan. We are left to rot here or feed ourselves to the wilderness for a hopefully swift death. No one is rising up my brother. It was all a lie.
>the last impactful meme we made was 5 years ago.As people said we didn't change just the general culture did. We lost our advantage in memetic warfare because we weren't on the edge. It is sad to see all the normies ape our memes though. It is the snake eating its own tail we did our part, however I am prideful enough to say it was a victory. If all your enemies use your language and try to out do you with your antisemitism and racism and all of the current players can claim descendance from you. Yeah we did well for a bunch of psyopped freaks
>>219973373We hate communists here on /int/
>>219973878No we dont
>>2199647824chan is always edgy thoughbeit. If normies hate trannies, it will become edgy to say trannies are OK
>>219965227kek I unironically remember that thread
>>219970855>/fit/: 13k vs 2kIs /fit/ really that dead?
>>2199647824chan has always been for antisocial hipsters
>>219970855this is good. 4chan feels so chill now. if you want to spike your cortisol go to X
millenials gettin old
