Nobody who comes from the outside with academic pretensions will ever understand 4chan. They can't differentiate between seriousness and sarcasm, they always take things at face value and don't see the humour in obvious joke posts. They have a biased attitude right off the bat; they expect to find a vile den of hideous extremists and radical misanthropes, and that's exactly what they perceive. They almost never come to accurate conclusions. It would be like me observing gorillas at the zoo for a week and then claiming to be a primate expert.

I think a far more interesting analysis would center on 4chan's anonymity. People on here can say what they really think. Anonymity provides cover. 4chan is like the internet equivalent of the human unconscious. You'd need to develop a particular method of analysis. It would immensely difficult. But worth it. 4chan provides a unique opportunity. It may in fact be easier to reconstruct a sort of model for a mass group unconscious (a set of repressed emotions, instincts, fears, resentments, etc), then to attempt a reconstruction of your own unconscious structures/ You need a mirror. This reconstruction might serve as a mirror. But again. The problem may be too complicated. Anyway, the book only focuses on "culture wars." Something that in me view is rather stupid. All it ever boils down too is something along the lines of "of course people deserve rights, but I really don't like those people, and I need to take out my aggression and frustration at them so I'm going to complicate the question by nit picking and dehumanization. I'm not a bigot, just concerned...blah blah blah"

It frames the whole thing from an outsider's perspective, more interested in the political changes affected through the medium of sites like 4chan than the sites themselves. So there's not really any exploration of "chan culture" beyond how it has been weaponised in the past and present.
I'd say it's fairly unbiased, in so far as the writer seems as unsympathetic to the ultra-liberal sensibilities of tumblr as the transgression for the sake of transgression style of 4chan.
It's honestly an alright read. It certainly won't be the definitive work on the topic, but as a freeze-frame of the whole situation as of mid-2017, I'd say it sums things up quite well.

If you have any sentiment other than negative towards 4chan, I can only imagine you're newly arrived and in your honeymoon ''board culture'' phase. There's not a single silver lining about this place, it's completely unsalvageable and indefensible. No one here is even smarter than the average dumb teen on reddit; they're just better at censoring their own stupidity.

The fundamental aspect of 4chan dynamics is initiation. Each board has a number of shibboleths and expected behaviors, and half of the posts are calling outs of those who don't know them or how to apply them. I haven't read the book in the OP, but the most interesting avenue to approach 4chan academically would be to analyse the workings of an esoteric community.

It's not the same kind of self-censorship. In /lit/ there's a series of guidelines you have to follow in order to be taken seriously, and a list of things you have to omit lest you be outed as a normie, a cuck or a newfag. And the attitude is completely different, sure on reddit they sound stupider, but it's a matter of rhetoric: here most are more or less just as ignorant but are good at sounding like experts, if only because of how unflinchingly they defend their absurd points.

4chan's collective attitude is heavily influenced by hipsterism,equating popularity with 'otherness' or negativity. And people still fight over petty social standing within the micro-world of their threads, despite it being anonymous.

The whole irony thing and playing around with the idea of intent is really just a way to MASK their real thoughts of feelings. In other words the defining trait of the weighted average within the community is cowardice.

That's also why the activities on 4chan will never amount to anything. Because they are too cowardly to make the nessiary steps.

To me this is somewhat insightful but still psychobabble. That's also the problem with Nagle, I enjoy reading her articles but when I do I think of them as just ideas. Whatever it is by Nagle or (You) 4chan is interpreted with a biased lens. It is all just-so stories.

I thought MGTOW was mostly about marriage and relationships, do these guys really refuse to even have sex? I think commitment with women is dumb but I need to fuck at least once a month to stay sane. As long as I get my release I really don't care about women

There'a a level of which their analysis is completely accurate though. They see posters here as vapid and destructive, and they are right, just not for the reasons they might think. Because we have destroyed all form of identity on here, and most people on here, on most boards, have a pathologically cynical outlook on things. Healthy people don't come here.

In short was there an intelligent introspective group at 4chans origin? Maybe. Was there also actual hardcore degenerates who have either been arrested or scuttled off into a real dark corner of internet.

The current culture is mainly just young people who sort of fit in but are very much at the fringes of wherever they find themselves. They feel too intelligent. They feel cheated like the world doesn't treat them as the special person they are.

They tear down any other posts because they cannot tear anything down in life.

They are alone but in the Chan they are a collection of radicals who all agree

Underrated post, as you get to the heart of the issue. Most of us are so used to the 4chan style of communicating that you can't really have a clean distinction between "serious" and "satire". It might be more accurate to say that 4channers don't take themselves too easily, but are still serious in most of what they say.

Does that make sense? The communicating I see on this website is particular and, again, doesn't fall neatly into the "serious" or "satire" classification. I almost want to say that 4channers speak "in jest, but dead seriously"

it's because most of us (there are some retards that are genuine) like to entertain and argue ideas even if we don't believe in it, the actual thought of truly believing in something is alien to this cynical and sightly above average intelligence userbase. It's the type of people who would even spend time in a place like this. If you want to understand the philosophical and social dynamics of a strip club on a Tuesday afternoon, you first have to ask yourself what type of person would even be in that environment.

I would say that's accurate
There's also little potential for a closed discussion to understand another persons opinion (difficult for a number of reasons on an open thread with no IDs and little incentive to stay engaged) so the development of beliefs aren't often the result of an ideology based on premises but instead on board culture
then you get guys, like jontron, who express these views openly for the first time and in opening up to critique finds himself unprepared to defend many of his beliefs

desu users would benefit from a critical examination of to what degree they sincerely hold beliefs and it's only upon entering into the real world is there any incentive to do so

How would a good book on 4chan be structured?
I'd imagine something like this:
>Part 0. The Basics of 4chan
Tripcodes, Gets, Greentexts, ect., as well as attempting to explain general attitudes and thoughts on 4chan by 4channers, such as TITS or GTFO, 4chan is not one person, Anonymity, ect. Maybe introduce a few popular or infamous boards, /b/, /v/, /pol/, /mlp/, /soc/, ect.
>Part 1. The Origins of 4chan
Explain how it began and the formation of its culture. Maybe go into some 2003-2006 drama.
>Part 2. Growth
Explain events like Chanology and /new/ turning into /pol/, explain how and in what way the culture started to change. Illustrate Obama's affect on 4chan and the beginning of the new prevalence of feminism. Talk about memes.
>Part 3. GamerGate: Before and After
Begin with something around the time, like the Fappening or Ebola Chan, show how its emblematic of how things were and would become and begin elaborating on GamerGate and how it even split 4chan somewhat with Eightchan, heck the name is still filtered on 4chan, and /pol/ harbor. Explain the importance and consequences of GamerGate, one being it made 4chan even more political and right-wing than it already was.
>Part 4. Now
Explain moot leaving, Hiro, PizzaGate, ect. But especially the Election of 2016, maybe even make that the subtitle of the part. Explain 4chan's influence on the Election and the Resurrection of the Far-Right/Rise of the Alt-Right. Talk about Pepe and how memes have changed.
>Part 5. Reflections and 4chan's Future
Reflect on 4chan's attitudes and influence, whether it is unique or just emblematic of our society and stuff like that. Reflect on what 4chan says about culture and anonymity. Think about 4chan's future and the future of the Alt-Right, objectively, of course.

I was here doing it's second year and I knew a guy who was there during the first year. 4chan was about humor for it's own sake. There was no trying to get to the back of the poster and find out who he was. ie no one can be a normie/virign/a jew/a leftist/a femon annon/an X_poster because no one cares to investigate who was posting. They were not that stupid to waste their energy on such things are trying to form tribes on an anonymous board.

You were supposed to be funny. Not funny in a way trying to promote politics or say which nerd thing was better than another but genuinally funny. For example let's take cock-mongler. If he was made today it would be a meme about gay degeneracy or an insult you throw at someone *you're a cockmongler*.

/s4s/ is probably the closet thing to old 4chan, but way more wussy. /pol/ is pretty much the polar opposite of old 4chan.

Also everyone on old 4chan was a weebu. Everyone.

t. redditard

As someone who only last year stopped posting on /pol/ after posting there for more than 4 years I can say with a straight face that all of 4chan is complete satire. It is why an actual discussion can never take place here, people will answer in either memes or sarcasm. This is the same case with /pol/.

Calling out shills is a joke. Naming (((them))) is a joke. Calling Hitler innocent is a joke. Only a hand few of resditards actually believe this garbage while they post it.

It is is the same thing as posting Start with the greeks or Install Gentoo. If you don’t see that you just don’t lurk regularly. Same goes if someone who doesn’t lurk /lit/ comes here and asks what to start with. He might actually believe the Greeks are a good starting point. It’s all just memes and inside jokes and each board has their own which only regular lurkers understand.

I've always had a dream of assembling an art book, something like a poetry volume but only with 4chan greentexts.

The best, the funniest, the beautiful. Not all of them, but certainly the likes of "doesn't afraid of anything." A different presentation of language, and storytelling structure. A different take on how to more directly convey meaning. Gf is prego is another great example.

Would title it

Just the green meme arrow. If one of you want to right it first, go ahead. I basically don't have the time to research it, which would be where most of the edification would lie. An introduction would probably be called for, but not more, and realistically the artistic effect would only be potent if the author was Anonymous. Sure, edgy, but if done simply and without pretense, it could be fundamentally good.

I've received this comment quite often, but I've never really received a straight answer on how my writing style is different. If informed, I might try to fix it.

Top kek, no I don't. People hate niggers but that doesn't mean /pol/ isn't satire. There are people on /pol/ who actually hate black people and there are people on /pol/ who do not. Just like on on /lit/, /mu/ and all the other boards. Since /pol/ is the political board, of course they would talk about such subjects. This doesn't mean that the threads aren't filled with jokes and loads of people being ironically racist.

This is not necessary. It does poke fun at attitudes, but at different ones. Sometimes people make ''dindu nuffin'' jokes to make fun of black people stating that someone who got shot after violently robbing a convenience store was innocent and didn't do anything. Sometimes people make fun of NatSoc people by jokingly stating that the jews are the mastermind behind everything. They make fun of multiple groups and multiple ideologies.

If you actually think /pol/ got Trump elected you are out of your mind. Trump got elected because the silent majority got sick of the democrats after they got screwed over. Now that Trump is president for either 4 or 8 years the pendulum will swing again and a democrat will be chosen. Trump has majorly lowered the bar to the point of people actually claiming they would vote for Zuckerberg and Kanye West.

Of course /pol/ didn't get Trump elected. That isn't the argument. /pol/, however is a large concentration of a new conservative identity. It's important to analyze where the this new identity fits into the broader culture, and /pol/ acts as an interesting petri dish. Stop misaligning the argument.

4chan is significant, and therefore /pol/ is significant. In the aftermath of the election, we have a literal Nazi as public figure now, which have admitted to using /pol/ and communicates with memes.

Not really, GG being banned from 4chan did not make 4chan more right-wing, GG itself, the want for the end of corrupt SJW journalism and the anger it aroused, caused more 4channers to be right-wing. Though, because of GG being banned, Eightchan did become prevalent, which allowed lefties to make a prevalent board of their own, since /pol/ is unrelentingly right wing.

Is that movies and tv and video games weren't really ment to be taken seriously.
Or rather as serious as the mona lisa. In regards to just appreciating the expierence. I've at times suspected that the original opposition to tumblr was just a forced dichotomy created by anon posters just for something to post about to get anonymous interaction. But games could be as political as they want, but -and i shudder to say this- they should be appreciated as works of art, not political propaganda.

You stated ''4chan is significant, and therefore /pol/ is significant.'' in your post. I asked for an example, because I think it isn't. And saying ''It has largely shaped the logic of the internet.'' is a complete lie. Just because some memes are posted on reddit and 9gag which once have been posted on 4chan doesn't mean that it has ''shaped the logic of the internet''. Most of the internet is inherently against trolling and shitposting now.

What? Movies had been considered serious works of art for over a century. How fucking out of touch can you be to genuinely argue that movies "aren't meant to be taken seriously," when they have been, long before you've been born. Not to mention even making the comparison to the Mona Lisa, which has no discernible connection to movies as art, besides making a pointless distinction between "serious art" and "unserious art."

I would argue that games hadn't been taken seriously as art because they didn't have the technological ability or sophistication to convey narrative. Now that they can, they should be. And that absolutely means that it can be political. You've said repeatedly that political narrative isn't art- but so far you haven't provided a single reason why that isn't the case.

The modern conception of what a meme is came from 4chan, which has blend entirely into the mainstream. Beyond that, image embedding, anonymous posting, and other ritual behaviors like greentexting and shitposting have spread like wildfire to the rest of the internet. This is easily seen in Reddit, which aped much of the design of 4chan, and much of the behavior (besides the meaningless differences Anonymous continuously reaffirms) comes from the same logic.

The political narrative isnt art, becuase of the general conception that there is a delineation between art and life. That art is an artifact that life creates.
Politics is imposing limits on how life should create.
So what i am really saying is that media like video games and movies should be treated and appreciated like the mona lisa is appreciated, rather than appreciating them like the fucking communist manifesto or MLK jr's i have a dream speech or the french revolution.

There is no delineation between art and life. Have you heard the saying, "art imitates life?" Or perhaps the opposite? Art and life is give and take. Art cannot be entirely separate from the machinations of real life. That doesn't exist.

A broad stroke such as "politics is a real life limitation," doesn't even make sense, because politics is so all-encompassing. Any sort of vague statement of human organization within a narrative could be seen as a political. There is no absolute way you could avoid this. It appears that it isn't political involvement in art is limited, but your own viewpoint on what constitutes art or not.

Why can't you look beyond the simple mistakes anon?
I mean i see people misspell shit all the time here and put things in even worse format, but i try to make and effort to understand without ragging on someones little faults, and if i have issues on the clairty of ideas presented i will try ask what they ment and not totally throw out thier argument like some bimbo on okcupid who says they wont read your shit if you dont spellcheck and use proper grammar.
But hey were all free to shitpost as we like.

But let me correct my error so you can understand what i am saying.

Yeah. A major challenge to analysis would be to decide the "stance." Irony/sincerity being the major duality. Honestly it would be a test for A.I. to be able to interact successfully on an anonymous messaging board. I do not know the identity of the person behind the message. All I have is the message. I have to reconstruct this identity (i.e. determine their attitudes like irony/sincerity, the rules governing human interaction in this context like inclusion/exclusion or dominance/submission, etc). And with a simple message I have a rough idea. And can respond appropriately. Also the psychosexual material is very good stuff. Look at alternative hentai. You have machine/human, animal/human, girls with penises, boys with vaginas, monsters, scenarios involving bondage, defecation, as well as fantasies of murder and sexual torture. It's a perfect window in human sexuality and the often tortured and deformed expression it assumes. God only knows the forces (biologic or cultural) are responsible. But the actual material is very good. I don't judge btw. I don't care. I only wanna see the fantasies.

I read it a couple weeks ago. It is actually very well-written, the author clearly knows what she is talking about. It doesn't read like "John Johnson here at CNN will now analyze how the youngsters are engaging in hip and cool meme making" at all. You can tell she is trying to be as fair as possible with 4chan and actually has sympathies for them. This is especially noticeable in the Gamergate section, where she clearly condemns it but the tone sounds like she is reluctant to do so.

Overall good book, it's really short so I would say it's worth reading.

The fuck are you on about dumb cunts. I could list a thousand things that were created through people on 4chan collaborating, like the core culture of the whole internet for one. I'll list a few to get the point across:
>various "hacker" groups with real-world effects
>arrests and information gathering related to various events and crimes
>80% of the memes on the internet
>creation of lots of offshoot imageboards (name, culture, boards, aesthetics), as well as other sites and content born from it
>books and other texts (/lit/ has made the most, I think)
>videos and other content (dubs videos, music videos, accent/language/humour sharing through vocaroo (especially on /int), the fucking wikis you find for every board - many of them very comprehensive.

There is so much shit brought about through collaboration, I don't even know of half of it. Also I've voice chatted with Japanese, Americans and Europeans that I've met on 4chan, all of whom were very agreeable. It is a mistake to pigeonhole what a "4channer" is, it is too varied.

I'm not sure why so many people are convinced 4chan is bad for them. You don't have to be accumulating knowledge to be becoming better as a person.

This. The joke of 4chan is extremely complex.

Let's start with "start with the Greeks"

The joke is multifaceted and plays off the changing interpretations a person has of that statement over time as a function of witnessing it again and again.

1. It starts as an obvious joke. Who is this idiotic poster to say that you can only gain worthwhile knowledge by starting with the Greeks? You laugh.
2. You start to take it seriously. You see a lot of Greek threads and you recognize that the Greeks helped to shape Western philosophy to such a degree that ignoring them is foolish. You begin to see value in "starting with the Greeks". You start to become worried as you yourself did not start with the Greeks and are thus unable to legitimately philosophize.
3. You are convinced. You have seen the phrase so much and have seen so much evidence supporting it that anyone NOT starting with the Greeks is a pseudo, not even worthy of discussion. Not starting with the Greeks ruins peoples' ability to interpret all philosophy and thus they become lost causes. Your anxiety is either at maximum or you have reached acceptance of your own pseudo-ness.
4. You have reached epiphany, realizing that starting with the Greeks is completely unnecessary. Your greater grasp of philosophy has allowed you to see that there is no intrinsic need to start anywhere. Philosophy is not about "getting it right". You now see the humor of the joke. Again, you laugh.

Even a purely descriptive account of the inner workings of 4chan would be an herculean job (I've attempted to do it). Something that goes beyond that - a critique - is inherently biased and factually inacurate, even more so when your acquaintance with the website is so short-lived.

Delusions of grandeur all around. The average "4channer" is simply a pundit news/social media junky who takes part in masturbatory pseudo-intellectual discussion about things that really don't matter. Because others typically share the same lifestyle, mentality, and intelligence, there is typically a general conformity, which serves to reinforce the idea that one is correct.

One can hide behind their knowledge gaps or ignorance by shittposting, opting out of the discussion by closing the thread, feigning being a troll or "ironic", etc.

Most peopple on 4chan are probably university students, so they are probably more-or-less average intelligence. But they are generally extremely inexperienced with atrophied social skills and low emotional IQ, which basically makes them subpar manchildren with rampant Peter Pan complexes. So they turn to sour grapes and delusions of grandeur as defense mechanisms to cope with their massive shortfalls and lack of success in virtually all areas in life (mental health, career, finances, personal relationships, productivity, benefiting their family, community, and society, etc.).

These people would be absolutely destroyed if they tried to discuss things IRL with experienced people of above-average intelligence. There is a reason they hide here and live vicariously online, cherry-picking social media and corporate news pieces to encourage their pathological view on the world. All in an attempt to make them feel superior about their lack of interaction with the real world.

But it's all for the keks and totally ironic guys.

I think it is funny how 4chan is different for different people. You can't proof your vision or view is correct and the others ain't. Unless you have masses of data you can't actually say something meaningful about this. And yes, I have caught myself doing similar stuff here at times.
Also some of you do seem - I'm assuming - to swallow up the satire and myths that get propagated here as if it is truth and applies to 4chan a-whole. And remember memory is selective.

Like a lot of things that 4chan users like to take credit for, 'cuck' came here from the SomethingAwful forums after some of their content creators wrote a couple of articles about cuckold porn that they found, thinking it was amusing. There are or were a lot of 4chan/SA crossposters and they brought it across, including alt-right posters like Sam Hyde. To find the earliest usage of it in its current context, SA is the place to look.

Well repition is a good way to find a common thread in all works of art.
Having something repeated by the artist generally means he wants you to pay attention to it.

Im saying that 4chan doesnt arrive at some noble truth through its d out discussions, and anons either feign or really do have a lack of critical thinking skills.
Evidenced by countless threads of "what did i/we/you think X?"
And that their "truths" come from social media tactics more often than geniune discourse or dialectic.

Pic related. After the wake of GG, /pol/ started hating moot for prohibiting discussion on 4chan. They started digging info on him and found out how he was beta-orbiting this girl who ultimately picked a jock over him. Cue in a minor spamming of "cuckold" and "cuck". Moot retaliated by fucking up /pol/: a series of filters, nonsensical animated gifs and a threat to close the board indefinitely. One of the filters turned "cuckold" or "cuck" into "CLUCK". That's how the word turned into a sitewide meme. It was majorly absent from our vocabulary previous to this event.

Wasn't the car being attacked? I saw a video that I think was that incident. Also if they weren't there they couldn't have gotten murdered, there would be no riot, most people wouldn't have known it even happened. The Klan still exists, has meetings regularly, talks about hating niggers and Jews, and get fucking ignored constantly because they are a bunch of fucking nobodies. Normies wouldn't have ever seen Spencer's face (or had a chance at hearing his message) if people would ignore him. Trump didn't win because of anime frog Nazis and their massive influence. He just wasn't Hillary.

your post has nothing to do with mine: I gave the reasons to why the term cuck is used and so much. You think people call people a cuck in political context, or as an insult (not for the reasons I expressed) but because they are sexually unsatisfied and so sex is so on their mind they insult someone by saying 'you likely regularly get sex, but you let your partner get sex with others!'? I dunno. People think cuckholdry is weird, lame, dumb, gross, they view marriage and partnership as important and special and personal and traditional (you must imagine its possible for people to do so) and so they use it as an emasculating term as they see it; your woman has control over you, your woman uses you, you let your woman get pleasured by other men, you cannot fully pleasure your woman

>Thanks for that complete nothing of an answer.
How did cuck become such a popular insult on this site (and internet in general), it must be some grand elusive mystery. It couldnt possibly be that it has historically been an insult and on the internet a few different people witnessing or doing something can quickly spread.

Oh but it is possible you want to find the exact first few posts the term as used, yea sorry cant help you. Maybe archives and search function by date someone can find out.

it's this. Everyone is so ironic on /pol/ that sometimes they are sincere and they are always so sincere that it can't be taken as anything other than a joke. The cultural renaissance of the West will come from people like those on /pol/ who understand that such limits such as those on sincerity or objectivity should not apply to the modern man

You know, 4chan is such a strange oddity in the grand scheme of modern day Digital Media. As someone going into Communications, 4chan and it's various boards are a fascinating case study.

You can't really write the 'content' and general idea and moods of 4chan and it's different boards down, as depending on the board the paradigm can shift very quickly. I find that if you really wanna put your nose to the grindstone, you have to study the processes of communities to really understand what the fuck is happening. And when you start peeling all the extra bits away, 4chan is pretty much working on the same principles as any other virtual community, just with the extra bits changed.

4chan has it's own dialect, and it's users can identify (Or think they identify) newfags by how they type or the opinions they spread. It goes through periods of constantly challenging whats deemed the usual (Defined that 4chan really never agrees on a usual), the larger a board or topic gets the more likely it is to split into sub-communites or cliques (/v/ was constantly splitting into General threads, which required making a new board just to house said General threads).

It's pretty neato
