All fashion sites are slow during quarantine.

But /fa/ died a bit as 4chan completed its transformation into a far right site.

What do you guys think of all black sneakers? I just bought these because I work at a pizza place and do some prep stuff when I'm not delivering.

[Anonymous No.15172480]

>>15172479
not necessarily against them but i feel like all black sneakers usually take away most of the interesting contrast in shapes. don't feel negatively about them but the 90s look better in most other colorways imo. you've got a valid reason to buy them though

/pol/ took over a few years ago. They've been contained again, but it's too late. Everyone that cared dipped.

Autistic communist "just wear what you want" bullshit is way more toxic than /pol/tards ever were. Also, those "fash inspo" type threads were definitely started by leftists to turn /fa/ against /pol/. They probably did eventually attract actual retards from /pol/, though, I'll grant you that.
I remember how they began, when I didn't just instantly hide them, they were definitely not actual /pol/ guys. You could talk to them and they wouldn't pass.
So, either it was a leftist psy-op or maybe it was some gay dudes that just like wearing SS uniforms during butt sex and never even lurked /pol/.

FUCK, hate it when you destroy a quick reply by accidentally hitting backspace.
I don't buy it. I think claims to the contrary are probably leftists trying to co-opt /fa/ like they have been trying to do for years.
/fa/ used to have a SUBTLE right-wing presence and it pissed leftists off that this board wasn't like /co/ or /lit/.
/fa/ is actually conducive to right-wing opinions because lefties take on board shit like anti-bullying and fat acceptance.
This was a place where you were unwelcome if you were too fat, too ugly, or too dumb to construct objectively good fits.

[Anonymous No.15172620]

i dont know about the history of /fa/ because I only started here some years ago. 4chan however is historically left. so it only makes sense to believe some of them would have moved on by now.

This isn’t necessarily true. 4chan is just edgy and contrarian. This is why /pol/ is such a strange phenomenon because you have people who unironically advocate for things that were considered mainstream just a few decades ago like healthy, two-parent households and monogamy.

[Anonymous No.15172635]

There’s a difference between advocating for homosexuality because you unironically want to suck dick, and doing it for the lulz and making pearl clutching soccer moms upset. Now the whole paradigm has reversed and you get people who ironically LARP as crusaders and nazis lumped in with people who genuinely feel that way.

[Anonymous No.15172653]

>>15172638
IT WAS ALWAYS CONTRARIAN
Even when you had the lefty shit, people would still call each other niggers because it’s the one socially unacceptable constant that has remained true ever since the civil rights movement. Niggers also didn’t have internet access back then because they’re completely dependent on Web 2.0 and iPhones.

[Anonymous No.15172668]

yeah fair points. but the thing is now the site is legit political, not contrarian. so that would drive people away

[Anonymous No.15172686]

>>15172668
This website isn’t inherently political. You can say anything you want. For whatever reason, a lot of people on the website seem to be intrigued by the idea of fascism. If you don’t like it, you can try to persuade them that it’s actually a dangerous ideology or something. Have you tried that?

[Anonymous No.15172688]

>>15172686
of course its not inherently political, but the vast majority of the posters consistently express far right ideas. it's unavoidable. and some anons really dont want to argue about fuckin donald trump or niggers or jews or whatever the fuck all day. and so they simply leave and then their resistence diminishes even further

>the heat
It actually is just fucking annoying. Almost every board got overwhelmed with /pol/ spillover so it was hard to talk about anything else for a while without someone bringing up niggers or fags or whatever and derailing the conversation. Eventually people who aren't super interested in being a Nazi are going to go to other communities based around their hobbies because they're simply better places to discuss them.

[Anonymous No.15172737]

>>15172697
>>15172732
So it's not about not being able to take 'the heat', it's about having no interest in it. A good board about hobbies isn't going to involve having to contend with Nazis on a mission to rile people up every ten minutes. Some of us aren't interested in those arguments.

If 2008 is an oldfag then I am an oldfag. I would say anon is more correct saying "4chan has always been contrarian" than anyone saying "4chan is left" or "4chan is right."
I don't remember 4chan ever being political back in the day. It was like... What is going to greatly upset the most amount of people? That is what 4chan is about.
(excluding animal cruelty, 4chan would go after people like that.)
Then what started to happen was the easiest marks in the world were SJWs.
Imagine discovering you could drive people on the internet to near-suicide by saying:
>there's only two genders
from that point onward the art of trolling shifted towards the art of saying things your granddad believes.

[Anonymous No.15172884]

Then there were two big events, among others, that unironically made a lot of 4chan guys right-wing.
*The Trayvon Martin case. ie. Seeing how leftists would simply lie about it.
*Gamergate. ie. Seeing how leftists would lie about that and how they wanted to ruin muh vidya.
Gamergate by itself means you can't ever really say 4chan is left-wing, unless by left-wing you mean some obscure branch that would prevent tranny weirdos from ruining game development.

Unironically this. No one gives a shit. Giving a shit was popular for years, now it isn't.

>completed its transformation into a far right site.
News exposure in 2015-16 led to an eternal summer. 4chan hasn't been "far right" since, though it arguably never was. There are unironic trannies around every corner now. I doubt this had a noticeable effect on /fa/, which was already a faggy board.

[Anonymous No.15173763]

it's not inherently connected to politics, but this board especially has gone to shit since it gained a ton of (mostly underage or retarded) users around the 2016 election. there were always fascists around, but they didn't come to the site because of pepes in maga hats and epic twitter memes--maybe it was something about the old web culture or anonymity philosophy or edgy reputation.

maga teens showed up, tricked into this board because again they're either young and just got enough disposable income to buy their own streetwear, or dumb enough to want to be a cool rebel alt-right chad in navy blue suits and ill-fitting milsurp. everyone else gave up.

>>15172638
