@vil I mean more specifically the culture of 4chan. 4chan was seen as incredibly cancerous back even during its "golden age" in the 2000s and that was because of the culture it spawned, which was generally built upon being as outrageous and irony poisoned as possible in order to get people angry and cause people to reply to you, which is what most of the modern internet is built on. No wonder it was disliked, but as that kinda thing has become the norm, people all of a sudden romanticize 4chan, wtf.
