The Current State of /fa/

[Anonymous No.14536779]

Man I've been using /fa/ since 2012, back when SuFu was around and active. The fits that people posted in the WAYWT threads were actually well thought out/designed, and quality overall.

Since the original userbase of /fa/ left due to it progressively turning into a shithole, there's just been an influx of dumbfuck kids who don't know how to dress, telling other dumbfuck kids how to dress. The WAYWT threads are piss poor, just people trying to emulate what they think is "trendy" or "popular" in order to look cool when in reality they're just lemmings whose fits are uninspired.

Every time I go into a big city, I see people aged 18 to early 20s (I'm 23 for reference) dressing like they're from the 90s with those gay-ass tucked in shirts and loud tacky outfits. They all dress like fucking detritus.

Tl;dr: wear whatever the fuck you like regardless of what people think and WAYWT is full of know-nothing faggots, so don't listen to em.

fa has an archive
learn to use it, search for things that interest you and read old posts/threads
sure you don't get to participate but it doesn't mean it's gone forever, the information is still there and largely applicable today as well

Yeah that never existed, this place has always been racist as hell, back in those day it we just didn't have pussies that cried about racism everytime someone said nigger.

[Anonymous No.14537101]

>>14537071
OP here, 4chan 2007-2012 was highly left leaning. I remember when the 2008 presidential elections were going on and everyone was rooting for Obama. Of course racism existed, but back then you'd get trolled to no end just for being a bigot. 4chan is somewhat toxic as a whole, but back then it was more just fun and shitposting. Mass griefing in Habbo Hotel, "pool's closed", the whole nine. /b/ was the go-to board for shitposting and nonsense, then it switched to r9k (the original, not ROBOT9001) somewhat.


The problem with /pol/tards is that they take their assbackwards "THE NIGGERS R STEALIN R WITE WIMMINZ"-type beliefs and plaster them all over 4chan, they're taking the site way too fucking seriously lmao. It's childish.

That was a extremely round-a-bout way of saying "FAKE NEWS!". I was around for that time so I can speak on it, but let your cognitive-dissonance guide you bruh.

P.S. I don't align myself with any political ideology because politics are ultimately uninteresting to me.

[Anonymous No.14537182]

>>14537134
He's half right, 4chan was always anti-establishment so there was a lot of bush hate and but it wasn't truly left leaning and the racism was only half joking though you could get through to people. To misquote someone who saidnit better than me "every community that gets its kicks from pretending to be foolish will invariably be flooded by actual fools who believe they're in good company". Our days of pretending are over boys...

[Anonymous No.14537198]

>>14537162
A very small amount of 4chan users were for obama in the 08 election. It's always been anti establishment and anti government like >>14537182 said but it's never been leftist. The most leftist thing about 4chan was maybe the overwhelming amount of atheism but to say that "everyone was rooting for obama" and that bigotry was trollworthy is just being dishonest.

[Anonymous No.14537236]

>>14537198
>dishonest

I don't intentionally spread false information, what do I have to gain from it? Maybe the "everyone was rooting for Obama" bit was somewhat of an exaggeration. In respect to trolling, what defines something as "trollworthy" is purely subjective.

[Anonymous No.14537246]

>>14537236
I mean Obama did get a sticky on /b/ when he won, so it isn't exactly a stretch. Though 4chan was also receptive to Ron Paul too.

Also, good job Hiro for making this site break every day for 15 minutes at a time. Brilliant, master work.

Unless you were on the hugbox boards this place had rampant racism and everyone was perfectly fine with it, inculding the niggers.

When I was pretty active on 4chan from 2007-2010 I mainly used /b/, /s/, and /hc/ and I don't remember rampant racism on there. Those were pretty much the only boards I used. I took a break during 2011 and got back on here to use the OG /r9k/ after one of my friends told me to look into it. Around that time I became more interested in fashion and that's how I ended up here.

Literally why.
>>14537253
That's not really true. Only on boards full of edgelord teens like /b/ or /new/ did the racism ever get out of control. If you want to consider "nigger" racist then yeah all of 4chan was, but here "nigger" and "faggot" are just insults, I mean this is a place that uses -fag as a suffix for almost everything.
It certainly wasn't flooded with the retardation it has now where you can't even have a normal thread without some lunatic screeching about Jews or BLACKED or commies or trannies or wh*tes or whatever the boogieman of the day is over there.
Don't get me wrong I don't care if you're a raging antisemite or a racist or whatever but please keep that shit contained to the shithole not fashion threads or threads about animal crossing or whatever.
The fact is nowadays this site is a destination for those people and they not only attract more of their faggotry but also the people who feel the need to raid 4chan because its "le ebil site"

That's just lazy, then again I was doing them when there wasn't any choice so I got used to it, when the pass showed up everyone mocked it, I figure only newfags use it. Plus if you post some illegal shit but forgot to log out you're fucked.

One will, unfortunately, happen regardless, the other is so starved for money he actually split 4chan in 2 different websites to try and make it appealing to advertisers so that he can line his pockets.

all of the faggots who say dumb shit like "it was never good XDD". just go to archives and take a look at designers threads from 13/14 or just search anything from that era its full of tons and tons knowledgeable anons with sophisticated taste.
the old effay was a truly fashion oriented community. now its full of trends, normalfaggotory and almost no designer scene.
