I've never visited 4chan. Everything I've read about it makes me think it's not the webforum for me.
Not since 2006 or 7, used to hit up the paper craft forum for Warhammer proxies.
1/lifetime
Never. Like, I've browsed around a few times. /LGBT/ (when it wasn't people from /pol/ trying to debate trans people) was the only board of value...I can't put it into words but, it's the only board I think really lives up to the romantic ideals of what 4chan is. It feels... weirdly neither irony poisoned like the rest of 4chan nor dead serious and moralistic like the rest of the internet. Maybe the rest used to live up, I'm young so I wouldn't know (though I do know people were moaning about "the old 4chan" in 08.) But I don't belong on /LGBT/, I'm moralism poisoned.
Culturally, 4chan is a spent force, I think that became clear when every new meme from there was a Soyjak variant. It's a shame some channers think they're still on the precipice of internet culture. I just wish the ghost of /pol/'s influence would stop haunting my country.
Never.
At this point I see pepe as a hate symbol.
I like pepe though there is one pic of him for most situation or you can make one easily and he is kinda funny ngl
I don't follow 4chan politics, but isn't Pepe a /pol/ thing or something like that? I mean, 4chan's got a number of different forums. That seems like saying that Reddit is X because of a particular subreddit, or the Fediverse is X because of a particular community/magazine.
I see your point: pepe can be used for anything.
But it's so strongly associated with hate in my experience that I cannot see its use in an unbiased way.
There’s a documentary about Pepe and his creator, Matt Furie, called “Feels Good Man”. It’s worth a watch!
None. I will never touch anything *chan
2chan, 4chan, 5chan, and the other number I won't even mention cuz I actually saw something very traumatizing there.
as in?
A picture of a married heterosexual couple having sex in the missionary position
Late reply but not even close
It's genuinely morbid
Daily, watching the advances of ai porn generation techniques and tools. The deep fakes trend didn't spontaneously emerge from a vacuum, and ai generation of gif/videos from a single text prompt is in the 'dreaming' stage. I give it 6 months before you will be able to have a coherent scene of 10 seconds of ai gif or video based on a single prompt with minimal editing.
4chan is the best place I've found to watch this that isn't trying to sell me something or over sensationalize it.
You're looking at AI porn every day?
Yes.
5 years ago? Some people have something funny to say but it's not worth groveling through the hundreds of bot comments to find it.
Bot comments?
Here's a fun video https://youtu.be/efPrtcLdcdM?si=LWaMckxSwL2_lmKZ
That was a year ago. I doubt anyone's still running that outdated 23gb model still on torrents.
Many of the comments on 4chan are not very insightful and mostly repeat the same classic mantra's. Now I'm not shy for dark humor but I do like it original.
Maybe once in the last 5-10 years to look up something specific... so basically never.
Maybe once a year to remind myself I'm not a complete twat.
Once before gamergate. I didn’t like the sort of people I found there. I wasn’t surprised about the following decade of newsworthy and leaking bad behavior
I haven't been there, I only see screenshots here and there, and the occasional YouTube video detailing their shenanigans
The interface sucks. Never
Only ever used it for piracy, it's been the most reliable source for finding niche TTRPG books. From the first time I used it to now it probably averages out to once or twice a year, though in practice it comes in bursts.
Piracy exists on 4chan?
Yeah, /tg/ has a share thread. It's kind of ephemeral and it's not straight forward to navigate but if something cant be found elsewhere it's your best bet.
I haven't been on 4chan in over 20 years since I saw a gif of a German shepherd being hit in the face with a shovel.
That place is a cesspool.
Oh I forgot about that one. I also saw that. Sickening.
0 times a year. I used to lurk on Something Awful and Fark back in the day but I never liked 4chan.
Honestly, I’m kind of surprised 4chan is the one still around but I guess the non-religious kids who are the future of the Republican Party need somewhere to hang out.
Not really sure what it has to do with religion
The future Republican voter base is basically: white Evangelicals/homeschool kids, white dudes who own (or aspire to own) an ATV or Jet Ski dealership, and 4chan/Reddit/Discord users who are being ironically racist/sexist but will soon drop the comfort of irony and just be racist/sexist.
I just assumed the latter 2 weren’t necessarily religious like the Evangelical homeschool kids who go to Liberty University or wherever.
Never have, never will.
I'm on /v/all the time
I don't really anymore.
