I feel like some kind of hysteria or mental plague has overtaken this board and by extension the rest of the gaming community. Its making everyone consumed by misery and hatred, and their “immune system” responds with putting up a facade of irony poisoning and superficial, paleolithic tribalism and insular division. It makes me wonder if anyone here has any reason to go on living if their existence just feels like this unending nightmare of societal decadence.

It's not limited to this board. It's the modern Internet at large. Humans are hardwired to dwell on the negative; a remnant from our caveman days as a survival mechanism.
For profit entities picked up on that and do everything they can to make you upset and angry to gain engagement and by extension, profit.
Governments picked up on it to keep us distracted.

Yea it's called the collapse of western civilization dude. Are video game forums all you browse? Because it's like this for the entire western world right now.

Demons are in charge and committing genocide overseas. Mormons are stealing LEGO from old dying men. Police are enforcing the mass invasions from armed foreigners to cow citizens into submission. It's pretty bad out there.

for 4chan I have no reason to believe any post I reply to is worth it. PR companies, people from countries that shouldnt have internet access to begin with, AI being trained on social media, average trolls, you name it. It wasnt so bad in the early 2000s when the internet wasnt quite as huge as it is now.
For the game industry I dont give games any attention until its out and in peoples hands since you cant trust anyone (like above). If I'm lucky a game will be made by some talented people and be worth playing. But because competency is down globally, decent games dont appear often.
So I'm just here for furry threads.

The world is going to shit in general. We peaked by 2007. After that, it's just been a steady downhill with new economic and societal troubles adding to the problems every few years. There's little chance of things getting better within our lifetimes.

Maybe after a long period of unrest and even more shit, some larger changes might happen to make things better, but we won't live to see that. They're even killing the Internet in the next few years with the global "think of the children, chud" push for age verification and the other surveillance and censorship horseshit that'll inevitably follow.

What makes you think ANYTHING will get better anymore? What is there to be optimistic about?

4chan is still at the head of it all, every single faggot eceleb gets their opinion from here in some way. It just gets filtered through twatter first. So every time one of them talks about something vaguely reminiscent to something said here it’s because they got the diluted version. Retards like asmongoloid or grummz only became prevalent because they were convenient. Going against 4chan never works out the way anyone thinks because it’s just a bunch of people and not some organized collective. Every anon has their own reasons for doing shit. Some may be similar to each other but it’s almost never the same. So saying that everything someone says is from a grifter or whatever will let them push that that is the source. And then some opposing eceleb like fucking vaush or hasan will then talk about them and say how they disagree with the diluted shit. As for the reason it’s diluted, it’s all a matter of everything being like a game of telephone as well as the fact that they can’t say it one to one since it would get them demonetized.
>>
>>740213205
And what do you think is the root cause of this hysteria? Some kind of external variable maybe?
>>
>>740218863
it's especially easy for them to do this, because there's basically no way to prove whether or not came for 4chan. there's a reason why so many memes that reached normies came from 4chan despite the fact that they've never heard of the site.

Why the fuck wouldn’t I care? It’s basically the groundwork and pipeline off all memes on the internet and not just in the general internet meme way but the idea of memetics as a whole. It’s the difference between seeing everything as being a bunch of random bullshit and understanding how information flows and through what channels it goes through and how both influence the wider public and their perception.

>>740219036
There is a way, it’s just difficult. All the shit said has a point and moment of origin. Take for example something like that backrooms shit, it originated here but spread out to normalfag sites and social media. But even if something does not start here it still gets filtered through and subsequently gets a boost through going through here due to 4chan being unique among sites today given that discourse (no matter how much it has degraded) still ultimately relies on the individuals ability to properly defend and argue what they believe. Some faggots can raid and spam the same shit daily for years but the overall board culture and opinion of it will not budge or change due to the fact that it’s not actually being presented in any logical or reasonable manner.
>>
>>740219728
It does given that normalfags sites are still getting the left overs from here. And you care because you’re trying desperately to trivialize. It’s not going to work faggot, if I’m wrong say how don’t be a passive aggressive retard who need to get how he totally doesn’t care while seething about it.
