Why is there not a book about 4chan beyond a couple retarded publications depicting it as nothing more than le evil den of alt-right shitters and pedos?

Memes inherently reject interpretation, the same way jokes do.
4chan rejects interpretation more than anywhere else and that's part of it's strength. The only way to understand 4chan is to lurk moar which is why it works.

Kill All Normies was a decent 6/10, but it does depict 4chan users as vile, lonely neo-nazis so OP may not enjoy it. It’s decent analysis of identity politics with the online culture war though, and Nagle talks about Nietzsche so that’s also a win.

Thanks for the responses everyone. To describe my motivation further, I mostly wanted to write an intentionally sympathetic work; a full-throated championing of the site. I've been thinking about how much 4chan genuinely enriched my life over the last, I dunno, 13 years now. That's the story that hasn't been told. The whole "Don't forget: you're here forever" joke is true, but I don't see it as a negative.

Without the spheres of /lit/, /fit/, /biz/, /ck/, /o/, /mu/, /v/, /k/, etc. coming into my life I sometimes wonder how much poorer, fatter, less worldly, more stupid I would be. It's entirely possible I wouldn't have gone to grad school, married my wife, got rich off crypto, learned my favorite recipes, fixed my own car, made friends across the world, lift weights and run regularly, the list goes on. This list isn't to brag, but I really don't see even half of these blessings coming true without 4chan's influence; I don't have that level of self-actualization on my own. These boards slow-drip knowledge into the willing observer.

And this is the last reserve where such ideas can fly freely. Look at how politicized the rest of the world has become. 4chan is very much like a dark triad reflection of what happens in the world. An inversion on all the things that can be permitted, made permissible only here, especially in these heightened times of information restraint and centralization. There are those enclaves on every board who stick to their threads, but the fact that you are here posting this critique very proof that the exchange of ideas is very possible. However, I think a very potent concern is the flood of newfags from all over the internet since 2016, the sites numbers has doubled since then and because of it, there has been a steep drop in the quality of moderation, and also the newfags shaping the board culture in their own mold instead of just fucking lucking and investing the time to learn the culture.

A lot of 4chan posters themselves don't understand how (and why) it was different from regular internet forums, and use it in the same normalfag manner.

Normies universally fail to understand 4chan to a mindboggling level.

4chan is one of the few remaining Männerbunde. Normies have no experience of initiation or of striving to be worthy of a group so they have no understanding of 4chan. All normies understand is how to huddle together like cattle in aggregate masses and hope that they'll be one of the lucky few to get close enough to the big tell-a-vision screen to see the Jewish movie film about the joy of mass society this week.

>Only through the group, I realised — through sharing the suffering of the group — could the body reach that height of existence that the individual alone could never attain. And for the body to reach that level at which the divine might be glimpsed, a dissolution of individuality was necessary. The tragic quality of the group was also necessary, the quality that constantly raised the group out of the abandon and torpor into which it was prone to lapse, leading it to an ever-mounting shared suffering and so to death, which was the ultimate suffering. The group must be open to death — which meant, of course, that it must be a community of warriors.

If you hate niggers and trannies etc. like a sane person but you're obsessed with social media and you have a Reddit or Twitter account, when you see something that infuriates you like idk a tranny saying some dumb shit about white people, you take a screencap and post it on 4chan and you get 400 replies. Or if you are on Discord and you don't know what to do you raid 4chan with some other cuck shit screencap from the social media you were using until that moment and get 400 replies.

Sort of, tho I think the most interesting part about 4chan is something only an anon could write about, but anons can't write, that is,
Why aren't there more namefags? How does this place STILL manage to so successfully and collectively avoid the vanity of sustained identity? Sure, we shit on namefags, but that sort of attention should only make them more popular, I would think. And what even is the difference between us and redditors? Even on reddit you're still for all intents and purposes anonymous, but there is a difference, not having to conform to your own history.

oh nooo!!! bad words!! again which are rarely use myself. there's nothing morally off about using such words. did you know real slurs, with serious hateful intent unlike a word like faggot which has a unique usage on 4chan, are commonplace everywhere online? the difference is these words are an established part of the english's lexicon yet we have to pretend like they're so extreme and hateful whenever it happens that some random person decides that they are.

social media today is built on mass harassment and deplatforming. there's nothing some people that use 4chan may have done years ago that none of us know about that can touch what happens regularly on reddit, twitter, youtube, etc. there's just not enough users or available personal information and content tied to a persistent identity.

also, on the gore and cp point, on reddit the administrators protect people who openly organise to spam subreddits they want taken down with gore and cp.

Reddit is a hivemind because of interest groups and companies being involved in it, and the voting and karma system training you to adhere to a narrow posting style and regurgitated opinion. I scarcely use it and I find it's even affected me when I post there. The motivation of getting downvoted into hell or banned for wrongthink begins to have an impact.

The social media-based internet 2.0 of modern day is the worst fusion of all the worst elements of internet 1.0 and of pre-internet normies, with none of the good elements of either. When I was a terminally online kid and teenager before it was mainstream, we knew we were fat fucking loser pantshitter goons and properly self-deprecated, reality checked ourselves, cultivated a culture of "who in the group is pantshitting a little too much?" and so on. Weird nerds and basement dwellers knew what they were, and often transcended it and integrated it in a mature way as a result. Likewise normies didn't have much depth but their social instincts and conformity made them reasonably nice and well, normal.

Since the fusion of the two worlds, real nerds have been overtaken by normie pseudonerd redditors, and normies have taken on all the worst aspects of terminally online people (black hole void chatroom/forum drama personalities), that only the worst of the worst fuckups used to exhibit back in the day.

Normies are all thinly-veiled Chrischans now, perpetually bickering and doxing eachother, perpetually checking if Swordsman572 replied to them again yet in their 9 year long flamewar thread on the anime forum, so they can spend 3 unemployed hours block quote replying to everything he said while flop sweating from the adrenaline. Except they feel about this behavior the same way that real normies back in the 90s felt about actual normie shit.

On the other hand they have colonized every authentic internet space and the internet has conformed to their sensibilities and limitations, so you have to really dig to find what would have been a standard quality autistic person back in the day. Most of the people with good autism potential implode and become transvestites.

4chan taught me about other countries and their cultures, both good and bad. More often than not you are speaking to someone different from you! 4chan helped me understand the science behind nutrition and, over many years, design a fitness routine I follow rigorously. As I already hinted previously, 4chan gave me invaluable tips for investing a couple years back that made an absolutely massive ROI for me, which I am forever grateful for. 4chan gave me lots of great cooking tips, recipe ideas, and clued me into a bunch of other cool cooking-related resources. 4chan encouraged me to go for my graduate degree after a back and forth with some other anons, which also turned out to be 100% the right move.

What more do you want anon? Why do you think an imageboard full of hundreds of thousands of anonymous people could fail to contain any valuable information? What else could it possibly do?

You refute and contradict yourself, your words are clearly retarded else you wouldn't be here. Or maybe you're just another astroturfing reddi-twitter migrant, either way, retarded.

>It's every bit the hivemind reddit is purported to be.
I don't see any pinned or promoted posts that best adhere to the party line, nor are 'bad' posts made invisible or sent to the bottom of the heap. You're either extremely dishonest or retarded.
