A lot of us were. If you were into anime in like 6th-8th grade, middle school, you ended up on 4chan eventually. There was no one else to talk about Gurren Lagann, Onegai Teacher/Twins, Zero no Tsukaima, etc with. Sure as hell isn't anymore either. Everyone knows about Lucky Star and Haruhi still but those honestly aren't even the best of what was being watched back then. Also all the memes brought you to 4chan in general as a kid. and the gore. Edgy fuckers. My Swedish GF at the time was a anachan that liked all the same shit as me. She was a poney girl who drew gore and posted it regularly. We were cringe as hell honestly but we were the children of chan boards. Good times. Honestly it made for a way better childhood.
Oh and using kik to organize raids and all that in the early 2010s. Honestly a big part of all the raids that went down were in part thanks to a lot of kids my age I'm sure. Unless that's just me projecting, as a younger person thinking that there's definitely other 12/13 year olds doing this shit too. Yup. But I'm 24 now.
