2010's 4chan references in games>Fun>Light hearted>Often just putting dumb memes in like dubs and dinosaurs in BF3 or a funny character in deus ex HR etc.4chan reference in 2020's>LE EVIL RACIST INCEL DARKWEBWhat Went Wrong?
This website became infested with AI slop and genuine retards
it was cringe back then and it's cringe nowfuck off tourist
almost like the general public's knowledge of this place used to be le internet hate machine anonymous, now it's "the site with /pol/ on it"
picked this book up in an airport bookstore back in 2015-16, seemed interestingish. about people who had made gaffes online and got cancelled over it.middle of the book, 4chan pops up, and the author mentions they made a thread saying they were a journalist and wanted to interview some people, and said their thread was mysteriously deleted, thought the mods had done it to themlmao no you faggot, your thread was shit and no one cared and it fell off page 10 ya fuckin loser get fuckin shrekted cunt
>>738207151/pol/ is what went wrong.
>>738207151the brown hordes of 3rd worlders infested 4chan
Deus Ex HR came out before the entire Internet got flooded with culture war shit. There was no "SJWs" or "chuds" or whatever.
>>738210428/ThreadHalf of GIF is tranny and interracial because /pol/ are self hating and closeted homosexuals.
>>738207619>remember when 4chan was known as "the site with /b/ on it">now no one gives a single shit about /b/
>>738207151/r/the_donald was banned and the refugees came here
>>738210428came here to say this. it was already going downhill but then the 2016 electionfag swarm was the final nail in the coffin site wide.
>>738210897/b/ is what would happen to /v/ if posting porn were allowed.even now some people can barely keep it in their pants.
>>738210897We gave a little shit about it during that one April Fools. It was nice posting on /b/ again where everything wasn't porn.
>>738207151GG basically mindbroke devs and journos.
>>738207151are you sure you aren't seeing the evil racist incel darkweb character and thinking "that must be a 4chan reference"
>>7382071514chan became an evil racist websiteThanks /pol/
>>738210428RAPE CHRISTOPHER POOLEthat faggot literally made /pol/ on Epstein's orders
>>738207151nu4chan is unironically the place where mysanthropic schizos and autists go nowadaysback then people were edgy for humor and irreverent but didn't actually mean anything bad
>>738211802No need to thank us, we didn’t do it for you.
>>738211858Jeffe already did that though that's the problem, you need to UNrape moot to fix that
>>738210428>/pol/ niggers always complained 4chan is a psyop>/pol/ was literally made since epstein asked
>>738211576>/b/ is what would happen to /v/ if posting porn were allowed.so /v/, 15 years ago
>>738212067moot deserves to get his asshole gaped daily by 100 niggers for the rest of eternity for what he did
>>738211892I feel like the Internet has a very "one extreme or the other" culture these days, where a lot of mainstream sites are now like "NO YOU CAN'T SAY RETARD" when no one gave a shit 15 years ago, and sites like 4chan have gotten a reputation of just being "the sites where you can be le edgy on".
>>738211892Jokes about floating televisions weren't necessarily untrue just because they were funny.People have forgotten that you can hate niggers and laugh at the same time. It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.
>>738210428>MUH /POL/ BOOGEYMANHoly shit kill yourself you tourist newfaggot. You weren't even here 15 years ago. Your entire ideology is based on fear. Your entire ideology is based off of suppression of free speech and empowering jews and billionaires.You do not belong here. We would've STILL called you a tranny and an insufferable faggot in 2000s /v/. I bet you think this current iteration of /pol/ is the original one and not a reboot.
>>738214617you're exactly the sort of mindless psyopped sperg i was talking about
Libshits SEETHING that they couldn't control this website lmfao
>>738214726It's funny that ActBlue is basically dead but their whole plan to push the idea that 4chan loved Hillary but plebbit forced them to be pro-Trump and Real Oldfags loved DEI and progressive socialism still lingers, a mythology for cucks and shills. I was here in 2008 and we said NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER back then too.
>>738210428Yeah, the Trump migrants were the worst thing to ever happen to this site.
>>738214726>polnigger has a meltdown and posts sojaks when you tell him he sucks (which he knows but somehow still doesn't want to hear)Classic
>>738214726that board was made by petition of you idol, Jeffrey Epstein.
>>738207151>What Went Wrong?Many things.Gamergate.TORtanic.Then in 2016 the site got astroturfed by Steve Bannon and became an unbearable shithole.Then the third worlders got mass internet access
>>738215175weird way to spell 2010 redditors
All the trump retards shat this place up in 2015 and it never recovered
>>738210428Weren't here for /stormfront/, I mean /news/, eh? FYI, you're here forever.
>>738214726>We would've STILL called you a tranny and an insufferable faggot in 2000s /v/.While 4chan did call everyone faggots back then, I remember the whole "TRANNY DILATE 41%" stuff not even existing until around 2017 or 2018.
>>738214726>We would've STILL called you a tranny and an insufferable faggot in 2000s /v/.Insufferable faggot yes tranny no, now fuck off back to /pol/
>>738207151>What Went Wrong?Western liberalism shifted to insidious racism.They don't like that 4chan is a hub for non-western English language discourse that offers alternatives to the western hegemony so they smear it with the mass media.
>>738207151demographic changes
>>738207151are we the baddies?
>>738216257>/news/why do larping tourists ALWAYS fuck this one up? it was /new/, not /news/.
>>738207151People started noticing and that's very antisemitic!
>>738210428top fucking kek the biggest psyop of its time, /pol/fags are retarded. I bet theyre all supporting israel nowadays
>>738210428>muh /pol/
>>738216852also the traffic of a certain board suddenly quadrupling in a year and overtaking every other board is completely unrelated
>>738207151I gave him the money because I liked him.
>>738216851Oh no, my old ass didn't get something 100% correct. Go fuck yourself.
>>738217116lmao mad tourist
>>738216940fixed
>>738210770I think you got confused with this board. Newfaggot troon.
4chan back then>anti-authority, maybe kinda libertarian4chan now>"if you're left of Hiter then you must be a tranny faggot brown ESL redditor!"I think how it used to be was a lot more unifying. It used to be a space for people who just wanted to have a good time and tell anyone who wanted to intervene to fuck off. Maybe it's just a result of the tides changing for who was doing the interfering; it used to be more conservatives pearl clutching and now it's lefties doing it. I like to thing that to the old 4chan, the who didn't matter, it was what they were doing. I've been here too long, I just miss not having every single thread turn into schizos spamming "TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY!!" Random side note from looking at Jack Thompson's wikipedia page, seems he used to associate with the Republican party but now associates with the Democrats? Something poetic about that.
>>738207151literally blame /pol/ its why the whole eprception of the site changed
>>738217229btfo'd
>>738216940retards thinking they're in good company etc
>>738216940the key difference between 2006 and today for 4chan is that in 2006 they said "nigger nigger bix nood HEIL HITLER" because it upset normies, but post election tourist 4chan there are more retards and paranoid schitzophrenics with terminal american direction brain that are being 100% genuine
>>738217261>>738217406moot unironically believed that all of this would magically fix itself when he sold it to hiro
>>738217261>4chan now>>"if you're left of Hiter then you must be a tranny faggot brown ESL redditor!"I think this is caused by the rest of the Internet being the polar opposite of this, "if you don't agree with me you're a nazi incel chud".
>>7382176044chan used to not be a refugee camp for people who got kicked out of everywhere else.
>>738217406>old Internet used to take the piss out of the idea of the Internet being "Serious Business">now everyone unironically uses it as a political battleground
>>738217325please calm down with a trump gem from truth social
>>738217752SAAAAAR WE WAS ALWAYS COMMUNIST SAAAAR RIGHT WING WAS NEWFAGGOTS SAAAAAR
>>738220469having a meltie and screeching like an indian in caps only makes you worse
>>738220469This stunning lack of brainpower on your fault basically answers the OP
>>738211802always was
>>738217752You're brown.
>>738221003Did I touch a nerve?
>>738221124You touch kids.
>>738221240"Saaarr we don't touch kids sarrrrr sarrrrrrrr we white sarrrrr"
>>738207151>What Went Wrong?Leftists.They somehow seeped into every creative industry and only became more radicalized through time and some of them even were mentally scarred by #gamergate.Leftists devolved into trannies who chased out anyone who wasn't as crazy as them, you can see this clearly with Bioware and Bungie.The joke here is that there was actually more CP and Gore on 4chan prior to #GG and the /pol/ takeover era.
>>738222104
>>738210897/b/ is literally just bots and raiders.
>>738217261>"if you're left of Hiter then you must be a tranny faggot brown ESL redditor!"Assmad toilet cleaner detected. You stole that from a long standing right wing meme too. Truly, the left can't fucking meme worth shit, even in this year of 2026.
>>738214726Everything bad about modern 4chan started when r/the_donald forgot that this was a site to whimsically talk about nerd shit with only the occasional reference to IRL shit (usually personal problems) and made it a mirror of Stormfront, where they perpetually act enraged about the news like the retarded boomers they are on a spiritual level.>>738217406Pretty much. You rightfully got mocked for being an SJW queer or a proto-/pol/nigger if you didn't understand that the Internet is not, was not and never will be serious business.
>>738222506Sarrrr left can't meme sarrrr sarr its all leftist fault sarrr plsss sarrr
>>738219319Why the fuck would anyone in Europe, Australia/New Zealand or Asia come here when their countries are cleaner, healthier and more predisposed to preserving their culture than the US, especially now that this Orange Pedophile Retard has deeply spurned all of them just to suck Israel's cock? Has any conserivcuck ever managed to think that maybe we bring in the worst immigrants in the world because Americans collectively do not give a shit about anything a real country would try and preserve and only care about short term profit?You can blame browns all you want, but the average white American acts exactly like the brown people you claim to hate and it shows in their disregard for their Christian faith, their culture, their children and their future.
>>738222758You can't even impersonate hindustanis properly. You're a lousy memer, and your jokes aren't landing. You're a half-assed loser fucking around in a full-assed world.
>>738222840>Why the fuck would anyone in Europe, Australia/New Zealand or Asia come here>here>endless bitching about white people as well Sasuga, thirdie.
>>738222849Sarrrr sarrrrr please sarrrr left cant meme sarrrr pls sarrrr plssss sarr you loser sarrrr
>>7382177524chan was literally a refugee camp from somethingawful
>>738216264That's because the bulk of mental degenerate troons weren't socially accepted and the mass of retards didn't drink the psychic poison of trans acceptance
>>738222987>america was a refugee camp from britain therefore you need to let in infinite browns
>>738222840Unironically true though. Rightoids are just as bad as the liberals they always whine about
>>738217872Yeah it is pretty tragic how the Internet has gotten so bad and the retard influx of 2008-2010 didn't even notice
>>738223007Oh, and also because the website was flooded overnight with newfags who came here for politics.
kek, calling him a toilet cleaner actually did piss off the thirdie. Hiroshimoot needs to bring back the unique posters counter, guarantee most of this thread is him.
>>738207151Do you think normie women know their queen Taylor Swift is 4chan coded?
>>738223074>>738223050Does anyone actually buy the crap arguments you're shilling, or do you just get paid by the post?
4chan used to be young guys making whatever edgy posts and jokes they wanted but ultimately not taking anything seriouslynow 4chan is where people come to hold hour long political arguments that go nowhereit is not the same website anymore. what's that quote about acting retarded and thus inviting genuine retards into the discourse? thats what happened.
>>738222920Yes I'm American and yes this place sucks. Not everyone is proud to live in an Israeli colony like you MIGAfags. Also America whites are less civilized than any European. That's a fact. None of them shill for Israel at the expense of their nation's environmental, civic and population's health like Americants do.
>>738223151>Yes I'm AmericanSignificant doubt
>>738223143Are you still trying to argue about this when 4stats exists and shows that traffic on /pol/ suddenly skyrocketed in 2015-2016?
>>738223187And your opinion matters why, MIGAcuck?
Cmon I thought this take on a futuristic 4chan faction was pretty cool
>>738223147Terminally online autistic schizo losers who have nothing better to do with their lives and will die alone
>/v/ now pretending that they've never supported trump before
>>738223279my political stance has always been whatever creates the best memes
>>738222240GG was so fucking cancer. I remember that being the first time I felt genuinely embarrassed to be posting on 4chan.Was the Zoe Quinn shit even true? About fucking five guys? Who even made that public knowledge?
>>738223257what you planing on dying with all your friends and family? fucking gay
>>738223482It was a butthurt ex stirring shit up.
>>738223196Gamergate for one thing, which you happen to forget, did bring in people here. And the fappening leaks. And that wasn't necessarily political either. Another thing would be general rise of phoneposters, regardless of political affiliation. You also forget that the site in general was popping off around this era, not just /pol/. You can look at decaying boards like /cgl/, where most of the posting was 2014-2016 or so. And we know /cgl/ is not exactly the most right leaning board. You can see this with pretty much every board, 4chan was very popular at this time. Board population across the site is declining, and that was before the sharty leaks. The rise of discord and 4channifcation of twitter probably doesn't help in that regard either. >>738223482>Was the Zoe Quinn shit even true? About fucking five guys? Who even made that public knowledge?Yes, her game sucked ass too. It was a Choose your Own Adventure book about depression. She fucked way way more than five guys. One of her exes, as I recall. It took off because vidya journalists ended up Striessand Effecting the whole thing.
>>738210897/b/ is just a porn board now. It has no culture or community.
>>738223548>what you planing on dying with all your friends and family? fucking gaymost funny /v/ post
>>738223701>You also forget that the site in general was popping off around this era, not just /pol/.No, /pol/ was the only board that had that huge traffic spike. Did you think that I would forget about 4stats existing? Why even lie about this?
>>738207151Simplicity and being obliviously happy died some time during the late 00's. Smartphones and social media were probably the biggest factors to that. Then cheap tech brought the rest of the world online and created the divide we see today, where retarded extremism fuels retarded extremism that made things overly complicated for no reason other than clout through shallow good will or foolish stupidity.
>>738223701>4channifcation of twitterThese days it feels like every major site's culture has merged into one homogenized blob.
>>738207151Blame 2016 trumptard era
>>738217229topkek
>>738223279>>738207619>>738210428>>738211003>>738223147>>738217261You're a newfag. A newfag with terminal TDS who came here during the Harry Potter raids and decided to settle down here. A newfag who would still seethe about Trump even if he cured cancer today. Original /v/ would've hated you for being a far left cancer who plagues the internet. Original /v/ would've still hated you for having an open wound. You were always our original enemies, and you still are. You do not belong here. Go the fuck back to your shithole hugbox websites.
>if you point this out election tourists will come out of the woodwork to tell you that actually it didn't happen and you're a tranny if you say it did happen
>>738224128>You're a newfag. A newfag with terminal TDS who came here during the Harry Potter raids and decided to settle down here. A newfag who would still seethe about Trump even if he cured cancer today. Original /v/ would've hated you for being a far left cancer who plagues the internet. Original /v/ would've still hated you for having an open wound. You were always our original enemies, and you still are. You do not belong here. Go the fuck back to your shithole hugbox websites.Really getting your shekels today, right anon?
>>738223832>go to 4stats>giant fucking gap between 09 and 2015 for most boardsI'm not exactly sure this thing is too reliable
>>738224128the worst part is people will respond to this earnestly
>>738224128based
>>738224150Honestly, the way you're reacting is exactly like a histrionic tranny. No I will not elaborate. I will tell you to go ahead and kill yourself.
>>738224353>no argument, just schizo rambling about tranniesI accept your concession.
>>738224150god this is just unreal to look atfuck moot
>>738224128i dont know why trannies say that old /v/ was libertarian when any semblance of knowledge about board history will say otherwise
>>738217229true
>>738224395Um sweetie, that's tranny behavior. Do NOT look at the chart. It did NOT happen. There was NO DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT. Do NOT keep talking about any of this or else I will have no choice but to call you a tranny, and believe me, you do not want to provoke my wrath.
>>738224380Nah, that's you. >doesn't scale back to pre-2015 because there's a gigantic fucking power gap in the data which should be a red fucking flag that your data is incomplete and inaccurate>linking to the steamcharts/vgcharts of 4chan posting as an epic gotcha because he has no real arguments >has to go out of his way to modify the data, which would show a spike in 2020 and 2021 because that would deflate his "DURR ELECTION TOURISM" narrative>still rambling on about getting called a trannyOnly a tranny gets mad at being called a tranny, kek.
>>738217261A lot of posts proving this right, gotta love it
>>738224573So what is your argument? There was a huge temporary drop in traffic for /pol/ that lasted for years until it went back to normal? Do you really expect anyone to believe that shit?
>>738224682That he needs to pretend it didn't happen, otherwise he'd have to accept that virgin losers like him were never accepted anywhere until they raided an existing place that at best tolerated them. Just leave him be, he'll live his whole mediocre life angry, lonely, poor, and miserable.
>>738224745it wasn't political until bad actors made it political. people fucking donated to a feminist charity to own the sjws epic style and show them who the real feminists were (lmao)
>>738223482>GG was so fucking cancerHistory repeats itself.>"We are saving gaming">"We did it Reddit">"Just listen to what all these nobodies have to say">"I don't care if I am being an annoying fucking faggot ruining the site because you are part of THEM if you tell me to shut up".>"Look at these reddit / Blsky screenshots of all the people who called me a faggot because clearly I owned them">"Talk about games? NO, I want to tell Zoe Quinn / PirateSoftware to kill themselves I just made another 10 accounts on Twitter / X">"This is important MOM I am saving videogames with funny meeemes"Every non political gaming site and publication died under #GG watch, most notably Nintendo Power and Gamepro despite being 100% about games because people would not stop sucking eceleb dick and that includes Ethan's Ralph dick.It's been two years since Ross started SKG and the industry has doubled on anti-consumer practices and Ross has still not improved his initial pitch.SKG still doesn't mention MTX which is the best argument against game shutting down but don't you dare speak against the chosen one.
>>738224682My argument is that the 4stats is entirely a non-starter of a basis. It's akin to steamcharts posting, where you're just not really doing much outYou're also better off doing the analysis based off yearly posts by year to year, rather than doing maximum posts per hour, which would vary wildly. Especially if you're wanting to push a narrative that it's on a year to year basis, rather than a volatile stat like "posts per day." It's bad statistics, and you know that shit. You know you're putting out the same tired "it's just election tourists ruining the site" ragebait, you'll get some meaningless discussion, then you just move onto the next thread, ragebaiting but on the opposite side. >election tourists are just virgin losersYeah nah, this is ragebait.
>>738225112What narrative do you think i'm pushing and what is the "correct" narrative?
>>738225112>Yeah nah, this is ragebait.Use of the word "ragebait" is evidence that you're new here.
>>738225425>Use of the word "ragebait" is evidence that you're new here.sarrr sarr this evidence that you new sarrrr
>>738225112>>738225541You will never be an oldfag.
>>738225562Sarrr you never be oldfag sarrrr pls sarrrr
>>738225613If you think that /pol/ was the biggest board at any point before 2016, you are new.
>>738225662>If you think that /pol/ was the biggest board at any point before 2016, you are new.sarrr you new sarrrr im oldfag sarrrrr i waste my life on 4chan sarrr
>>738225541>>738225613>>738225716uh-oh, meltie
>>738225776sarrrr you meltie sarrrrrr stop sarr pls sarrr
>>738224745Everyone hated Kotaku for a long time.Look up a parody article made by somethingawful called gamerbloggu~Kotaku was amongst the first sites to become what we dub now "woke".A complete 180 into the 2010s feminist / liberal wave and bear in mind that Kotaku was never good but they became even worse than when they were promoting pantsu~. A jarring change specially since they were associated with really shitty porn sites.On that note, I recall an interview with Blizzard around that time where a journo abruptly changed the topic forcing the conversation into gender theory and feminism and the Blizzard representative called the journo crazy because that had nothing to do with the topic at hand and later Blizzard was forced to apologize even when the journo was being a complete shithead, and this is when the industry collectively began their shift into liberal values under the assumption Leigh Alexander and her cronies had any real power. #GG was initially just against Kotaku and it proved a catalyst since everybody hated that site for several reasons even before their shift into politics.What no one expected was for #GG to accidentally uncover a massive media conspiracy spearheaded by millennial women using dad's credit card but that is as far #GG went.As I stated above many gaming websites died under #GG watch, and I remember telling everyone that the focus of #GG should had been supporting pure gaming publications.Instead they meme'd really hard and pushed the likes of Breitbart, Ethan Ralph, Sargon of Akad and I believe other ecelbs that would become lolcows but it did nothing for videogames.On the other hand #GG started a really shitty shift in 4chan's culture into the /pol/ dominant non fun allowed site we see today.
>>738225859>Instead they meme'd really hard and pushed the likes of BreitbartThe owner of breitbart admitted that he did it btw
>>738225716NTA but jeet posting is a clear indicator you are nigger tourist and a faggot. similar to the niggers that go onto Japan, act like Niggers and are shocked that people hate them. Honestly, do kill yourself.You treat this place like edgy reddit.Now, someone correct the record.How many times was /pol killed and brought back?I remember /news/ before current /news/, I don't know if it was ever called stormfront but I do remember a /pol/ like board and I remember /pol/ coming and going./pol/ was the board that got M00t to quit the site.M00t had real ambitions for a website, and I don't know if anyone here is old enough to have used Canvas which is was like the Super Weenie Hut 4chan, Reddit tumblr Alt Moot wanted to create.Also holy shit was /pol/ bad before 2016.I swear it was mostly BLACKED porn.Oh and I remember when /r9k/ wasn't about permavirgins hating women. I remember when it was meant to be a /b/ alt.
>>738226145>You treat this place like edgy reddit.>jeet posting is a clear indicator you are nigger tourist and a faggot. similar to the niggers that go onto Japan, act like Niggers and are shocked that people hate them. Honestly, do kill yourself.uh-oh, meltie
>>738226145>I swear it was mostly BLACKED porn.I wonder why
>>738226145>/news/You're a LARPing newfag. 4chan was never leftist like you claim it was.>do kill yourselfYou're actually Indian, holy shit. Leave.
>>738226145i think it was /n/ and then /new/ and then /pol/. /pol/ was deleted once or twice i don't remember And I'm not sure why r9k went from the ronrey feels board to the hating women shooting up schools board
>>738226287>4chan was never leftist like you claim it was.nobody ever claimed that. take your meds, you seem to be hallucinating>>738226297the robot filter was always gonna lead to people just bitching about their personal lives instead of actually using the board as intended, which would then lead to whoever is the whiniest taking over the board. hard to have fun when you need to dance around a filter
>>738226414>which would then lead to whoever is the whiniest taking over the boarddoes he know?
>>738225968That quote is clearly out of context.But it shouldn't be surprising that people who shitposted a ton under #GG would later meme for Trump out of spite, especially because the media had only become worse and further radicalized under Obama.There is also the entire deal with Wikileaks and Snowden.Evidence that the US was spying on citizens and allies alike.There was a genuine feel that the US was facing several crises and the WH response was "LGBT parades".And that only got worse with trannies.Not to mention that we would not find out until this year that the US was financing the media apparatus #GG fought against, reason the focus should had been on maintaining good publications alive since Kotaku did not exist because it had any real users.Ultimately #GG did good by exposing corruption in the media but it was a pyric victory.4chan became worse and the schism caused by hotwheels only made anons weaker.
>>738226621>That quote is clearly out of context.lol no it's not. there's even a lot more to it where he talks about how easy it is manipulate nerds who spend all of their time on the computer because they don't really know what's going on in the real world
>>738210428/pol/ is actually great compared to the mass of kids, pre fappening, /b/ used to fish in
>>738226246Well at least you are sharty baby, so you are okay.>>738226287I don't know if I should even reply, you are clearly fucking retarded and I just want to comment that you do need to kill yourself immediately. You see indians and leftists everywhere, goddamn son.Seriously end your life, it seems you are agonizing.At first I was like "Kys, you are annoying" to "This guy clearly is pain".I will take you to Canada if you want, although I guess the doctor would actually be Indian.So uh, just put a plastic bag over your head, I know mommy told you to stop doing that but it is for the best.>4chan was never leftist like you claim it was.I never said that.But since you brought it up and I got tired of using you as my personal Onahole.4chan never politically lean into anything in the past and it was board dependent./co/ for example./pol/ and /r9k/ used to have a daily political compass thread.This is where all those Ancap memes came from.
