>I understand 4chan was founded to discuss anime
Yes I understand that too, but original intents by the founders and the early adopters are not divine/natural law for eternity. Sometimes things can grow way larger than what the founder intended, and you can't block something you can't stop. This reminds me of the original author of Pepe the Frog drawing a "funeral" for Pepe in hopes that this would make the internet would stop using him for offensive memes.

People that gatekeep about 4channel being an "anime website" don't understand that the "gate" that they're trying to block is no longer there. The original anime fans of old 4chan created "containment boards" because anime fans were talking about other topics.

What they didn't realize was that the "containment boards" themselves attracted non-anime people that were interested in those "contained" topics. It was never going to be a solid "anime fan comes to /a/ ---> anime fan with other interests go to a containment board" pipeline.

When there are more non-anime "containment boards" than actual anime boards, 4chan was destined to become far more than an anime website.

>I like it sometimes, and I keep my mouth shut if I don't like it
Okay Like I said I was also criticizing those that were complaining about anime stuff.
