>>18829255Everyone hated 4chan back then too. The only reason they used it is because you literally were not allowed to meaningfully support the right in any way because you would get labeled a Nazi and then banned as soon as you started swaying opinions. As soon as twitter opened up, people could finally escape pajeetape's internet favela. So while 4chan had a very shot-lived political purpose, but it wasn't exactly filled with people who enjoyed it there. And it was bad for hobbies and interests as soon as gamergate hit its peak and got banned from 4chan (it's still technically banned today and if you try to make a big discussion about it it will probably get deleted). This all goes to show that 4chan is not the "misunderstood good guy" that some people try to frame it as. It's internet third world hell and most people on 4chan would like to see its mods literally hanged in public as much as most people here.
