"""Example""" of a typical post on 4chan

Did a woman write this?

>>11952224
lmao

posting on 4chan can make you enemies

>>11952215
Charles Stross mentions 4chan occasionally, which is probably why he was called a "blithe internet puppy".

>>11952224
Reads like Reddit

>>11952215
Wow, I can't believe that a book with a contemporary setting mentions an extremely well known part of popular culture

>>11952224
BASED and REDPILLED

>>11952231
>4chan
>popular culture
this is a shithole with few autists

I miss the days when 4chan wasn't well known..

>>11952225
Yes, from the author jacket, it looks like a typical soccer mom

At least she got right that 4chan likes to discuss school shootings

>>11952215


Simon you fucking namefag

>>11952231
>part of popular culture

You really don't hang out with a lot of normal people do you?

>>11952239
>>11952247
Normies know about 4chan.

>>11952247
Lol do you seriously believe that 4chan is some 'unknown' thing still? Especially with /pol/ now and after the last election, its well known to the mainstream.

>>11952262
Yeah, and normies know about chlamydia too, but that doesn’t mean chlamydia is pop culture

>simon was a tripfag

>>11952268
with the amount of internet and media presence, along with its external influence (mainly via pol) it has absolutely become a part of pop culture. Kids learning about the 2016 election in however many years have a pretty good chance of discussing 4chan's role in Trump's victory

4chan has been on the news plenty of times, if being shown on FUX NEWS or CNN isn't mainstream then I don't know what is.

This last election rocketed this fucking shithole into the public eye constantly. Its anything but obscure these days.

>>11952224
/lit/erate school shooting when?

>>11952247
Sorry to burst your bubble sweety but it's not a sekrit club anymore. Been that way for almost a decade now.

>>11952266
>>11952262

You guys are delusional. Some people may have heard of the place but that's it. Most people barely know what it is and don't care to know either. Its most certainly isnt pop culture.

>>11952286

The local knitting club isn't a secret club either, doesn't mean its fucking pop culture you retard.

>>11952299
Its just as much pop culture as Reddit or YouTube is you delusional head-in-the-sand fuck.

>>11952302
You are one DENSE motherfucker. I sincerely hope you are merely pretending to be retarded but I have my doubts.

>>11952274
>>11952275

You guys sincerely believe that if you're in a room with 15 people, say at your aunt's birthday party, and mention 4chan that a majority of them will have a remotely accurate idea of what it is?
If so you should hang out with normies more.

>>11952299
less the site itself, and more what it's done externally. while most people know 4chan, they probably dont know even that there are multiple boards, or that its anonymous, etc. etc. people see it as the racist sexist edgy meme website that the weird quiet kid goes on, and in that sense, of becoming an aspect of a prevalent stereotype, it's most definitely pop culture

>>11952304

Seriously, find some normal friends.

>4chan as much pop culture as YouTube

This is honestly so far removed from reality that it hurts to read.

Tao mentions our threads about him in Taipei

>>11952313
4chan is on the same level as tumblr. They're two sides of the same coin

>>11952308
Your aunt and her friends are not part of pop culture you stupid bitch. 20 somethings and under are.

>>11952308
Anyone under 30 knows about it.

>>11952310

So you think that when most people's reaction to mentioning 4chan is
>Isn't that some weird website for weirdos?
that makes it pop culture.

Then I guess we just disagree about what pop culture is.

>>11952320

wew lad you are deep in the pockets of the Hollywood establishment indeed

>>11952324

Not really though. Seriously try this experiment with some friends. Bring it up when you have a party. See what response you get

>>11952327
That is how 4chan is characterized in the novel though. Simon and everyone on 4chan uses the website to worship school shooters and fantasize about killing everyone else. Just because it's in pop culture doesn't mean it has a good reputation in pop culture

>>11952332
i've genuinely had multiple conversations with my friends about 4chan, which they see as some kind of all-powerful entity of nefarious nazi hackers. they know of it, they just don't know that its actualy just some degenerate shithole website for sad 20somethings

>>11952347
>>11952348

Pop culture is shit like zoomers doing that fortnite dance or the latest kanye west video. Not vaguely being aware of something existing but not giving a rat's ass about what it does. If 4chan was pop culture, teenagers would currently be discussing the election of our virtual youtuber. But they aren't, they are busy talking about fortnite, since that is indeed pop culture. Being aware something exists doesn't make it pop culture. Else Alexander the Great is also pop culture right now.

>>11952358
There's a spectrum of pop culture, you nigger. There's the latest fad, like Fornite and Instagram challenges, but if you were to say something like
> Yesterday I watched the Wizard of Oz again
and your friend didn't know what Wizard of Oz was, you would say he isn't familiar with American pop culture.

Knowledge of things like the Bulgarian prime minister, that isn't part of pop cultulre

>>11952358
perhaps not at the moment, but it was absolutely pop culture during the 2016 election. I couldn't go a day on campus without hearing someone talking about the "hackers from 4chan"

>>11952370

Because you can discuss the Wizard of Oz with most Americans indeed. They would know what it is about. They don't know wtf 4chan is about beyond that it is some weird website.

>>11952380
I know a dad of two elementary school children who knows who Pepe the Frog is, at least in that it is used by right wingers on 4chan

>>11952390
Pepe was all over the news in 2016 after Hilary demanded war on him (and lost).

>>11952224
the actual discussion about it would've taken place on /pol/, and no /pol/tard can type out a coherent thought

So yes, pretty inaccurate.

>>11952230
There’s been literally no difference between 4chan and reddit since like 2014

>bleeding edge didn't have a single 4chan reference in it
How come Pinecone hates us, bros?

My gf said she got taught at university that 4chan was a revenge porn site

>>11952440
Likely a misconception birthed by 'the fappening' (worst name ever), which is also responsible for almost half of the current userbase across this site.

>>11952380
The role of 4chan users in pop culture is that of a nigger. So yes, we have been assigned an identity in pop culture, and it's not a nice one

>>11952215
AHAHAHAHAHA fuck that bitch, Maeve. She doesn't understand the culture we have developed here.

Hey Maeve, if you're here, peep the filename.

>>11952527
Fuck off AnarchiSK

>>11952438
Did you forget that Bleeding Edge is a 9/11 novel???

>>11952317
True, in the sense that people know what it is but in terms of what actually goes on here they don't give a fuck. Notice that the media never talks about our feels threads or pretending to be retarded, but the idea that people here are scheming to create more tragedies or that they want all women to die or whatever. They can probably intuit that it's a handful of users at best doing that, like those people on twitter complaining that Steam doesn't let you write transmorphic or whatever as your gender. We all know it's untrue, and none of us care what really happens on the other side. It's just exaggerations to play out for bored people.

>>11952215
>a bunch of sickos

>>11952491
>responsible for almost half of the current userbase across this site
For half the userbase prior the 2016 elections, maybe.

>>11952215
this doesn't sound very realistic. if maeve was really reading 4chan, she'd mention that there were some people on the site who denied that the school shooting ever happened, or that the people involved were crisis actors

>>11952780
This. And we'd find a way to blame the jews for it

>>11952308
>>11952358
>>11952617
Shows how much you incels get around. Internet culture is pop culture now and literary everyone who knows about memes that aren't 2010-style image macros know about 4chan. Many people you call "normies" use the word "normie" ironically. Pepe, and maga retards may have cemented 4chan in the popular culture that the media mentions. As far as actual pop culture, the things facebook normies talk about IRL, everybody under 30 knows what 4chan is. All those "normies" are in meme-posting pages, discord servers, ect. Everyone plays vidya, watches anime, and browses the internet for dank memes. The only difference between you and them is you are a socially maladapted retard. Terminology from systems theory is used by far more people than those that actually understand model systems mathematically. 4chan culture is apodictic in the same way. You don't need to understand that the three angles of triangle add up to 180° to recognize a picture of a triangle. Sure board subcultures like this one are obscure, and the actual going abouts of 4chin aren't popculture, but most of the cultural products of 4chan are very popular.
4chan was pretty obscure back when I was in highschool but now the only thing preventing it from being a Simpsons episode is contraversy. The Manson family is a huge part of popular culture and there was only like a dozen people that took part in it.
Get over yourselves please, this is little more than anonymous twitter.

>>11953108
This. Ordinary young people are into memes now. For that reason I think we should act in a serious way in boards like these, otherwise it will attract people that aren't interesting and have nothing to add. People that meme everything and post ironic bullshit are ruining it

>>11952438
>dfw demapped himself before he could know how much we love him

Bait doesn't work if it's not subtle. 0/10, try again some other time.

>>11952308
My parents used 4chan before I did, and I think one of my uncles mentioned it once. I've recommended /lit/ to a few other family who read. So there's probably a good chance.

>>11953353
Incidentally my uncle talks about qanon and every other possible cospiracy

>>11953203
On the flipside he'd have the rest of the internet calling him a privileged white boy and he'd have gotten #metoo'd for sure.

>>11952215
anything written in present tense, including Pynchon, deserves to be burned.

>>11952224
The actual post would have read:

>only taking down 8 people including himself
lmao, what a pathetic faggot. Why didn't he buy an AR 15 and kill twice as many normies? Bet the dude was some /r9k/ tier incel who wanted to kill Stacey and her thot friends for laughing at his pasty ass face.
What a shitty thread.


Or something along those lines

>>11952215
people seem to think 4chan is some super fringe site for outcasts, id guess at least half of the people here just have extremely edgy impulses that they can't let out in most contexts

>>11953619
Most of the people here are just lonely losers without better things to do than seek meaningless, superficial and anonymous camaraderie on any of the numerous fora we have here. This site is offering good and bad, on this basis alone it's better than 99 percent of websites out there, since these only offer bullshit and stupidity being shoved down your gullible consumerist throat.

I can already tell a woman fucking wrote this lmao. I'm actually done with women trying to understand the male psyche and trying to write believable male characters, its cringe worthy.

>>11953627
i don't think so, I started browsing this site when I was in highschool and I had loads of friends and a gf. I liked it specifically because people would say things you cant say elsewhere. Like my friends pretended to be rebellious and badass but still acted like fucking pussies the moment racism or abuse of women or something was brought up. I enjoyed that that estrogen-tinged atmosphere didnt exist here.

The only people irl i have found who are as honest as 4chan are literal criminals, like people in actual gangs

>>11953636
I didn't say loser depreciatingly, altough it obviously comes across like that. But we all have some kind of deficit (in relation to normal social life) maybe that deficit is being more honest and more intelligent.

>>11952432
4chan has definitely lost its edge but to say that its the same as reddit is just pants on head retarded. Reddit is a bunch of emasculated eunuchs and dysfunctional women, finding any kind of original thought on that website is impossible, at least here you have a chance to find someone saying something interesting.

>>11953649
I dont mind being called a loser, i fit the label in many ways, but I have never had problems fitting in socially, if anything I have usually been exasperated by the people around me, I have moderate to severe anger problems.

>>11953636
>racism or abuse of women or something was brought up.
My friends used to like these kinds of jokes, now when I make them they get all pissy. soft cunts

>>11953486
The worst of both worlds considering all of that actually happened

>>11953653
It’s the same userbase, if there’s any difference, it’s skindeep

>>11952242
What book is it

>>11952527
Simon pls go

>>11953845
While theres a bit of cross over, most users on both sites are generally exclusive to just reddit or just 4chan because there is a general disdain for one another. Theres also a difference in how 4chan operates vs how reddit operates, the up-vote down-vote dynamic alone creates a situation where dissenting ideas are pushed down, where 4chan has the opposite effect, because the threads that get the most replies are bumped to the top, controversial opinions/dissenting opinions have an easier time being visible. It completely changes the way people formulate ideas, debate, and share their thoughts, it also helps that there is much looser moderation on 4chan.

>>11953845
>same userbase
nuh-uh, you cocksucking redditor. Go back there.

>my friends think that /b/ is the entirety of 4chan
>they probably think I enjoy looking at traps and gore

Which one of you was this?

>>11954141
idk how the media have failed to understand the 'beta incel' thing so thoroughly as to ascribe to it white identity politics. It's like 80% indian and east asian guys

>>11952224
I've been browsing here for over a decade, and I don't think I've ever seen an anon refer to a katana as a samurai sword.
Memeing on them as the ultimate badass weapon is a foundational part of 4chan culture, as is using Japanese words as often as possible.

>>11952299
I have yet to know someone who doesnt know about 4chan, and I'm a normie collehe student in Tijuana

>>11954011
Are you early 20's? All the people who I've met have this meme in their head that 4chan had a "golden age" when they were in 5th grade and that all 4chan is /b/ ( or /pol/)

Golden age was more like 2nd and 3rd grade.

One of Us Is Lying by
Karen M. McManus


On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High School walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.

Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. He had planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder.

>>11955020
pretty good premise for a story desu
sounds a bit like a golden age crime mystery
hopefully there's a manly detective with a moustache who turns up half way through to sort everyone out

>>11954810

>>11955123
we didn't have genrefags as well under thumb as we do now, but that was probably the worst part, it was pretty comfy

>>11955123
It hasn't actually changed that much. There was even more DFW spam back then if you can believe it, but less Pynchon. There was a lot more threads about sci-fi and genre fiction, but never a huge amount.
It's gotten more into philosophy and religion as it has gotten older.

>>11954679
this desu

tao lin talks about /lit/ in Tai Pei lol

>>11955138
>as it has gotten older.
I bet thats because the posters have aged up as well and wanted to get into more serious topics.

>>11955166
i disagree, the philosophy and religion threads used to be rarer, but of much, much higher quality, some of the best of the board.
now, they are almost entirely retard-tier

>>11955175
I never said anything about quality, just that I bet the average age here is early-mid 20s, and not 17

>>11955175
that's because the celeb porn leaks and election brought a lot of retards here, but i wouldn't say their age is the issue.

>>11952231

>>11954177
Whining about being too short and not getting laid isn't what makes an incel. Men have been complaining about that since time immemorial. Everyone's a virgin until they aren't. Incels are the ones who think that their virginity is a societal ill that requires a political solution. Asian guys will complain that all the women they know are bitches and whores, but it's usually White guys writing the manifestos about how access to sex is a fundamental right and giving women the right to vote was a mistake.

>>11955537
the figurehead of the incels is an asian guy, Elliot Rodgers. also if you go to incel sites you will find that they have a little oppression olympics thing going on and white incels are seen as like not real incels, like the sjws actuallycome to think of it

>>11955547
Half-Asian, which he was pretty emphatic about. From the holy text itself:
>How could an inferior, ugly black boy be able to get a white girl and not me? I am beautiful, and I am half white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy. He is descended from slaves. I deserve it more.

Individual posters will always have their own personal racial theories, but if the overall trend of the discussion is white>yellow>brown>black, that's white supremacy.

>>11955579
he's as white as Barack Obama m8. Also i dont think blacks are overrpesented in inceldom. Whites, blacks, latinos, arabs I believe are seen as having an easier time dating. It's indians and east asians that have the most problems

but you misunderstand it anyway, theyre not saying whites are better theyre saying the same thing the progressives say- the dating market is unfairly tilted to towards whites

>>11952271
lol

>>11952440
If you go on /s/ or /hc/ there's a dickload of "rate my ex" threads. Plus a lot of candualists posting pictures of their current girlfriends.

>>11955592
>he's as white as Barack Obama m8.
That's kind of the point though. Dude was obsessed enough that he convinced himself he was White, and being on the Internet no one could tell the difference. And he clearly felt that his dating market didn't properly value Whites.
I get that the term incel has evolved to include the traditional Asian gripe of girls not putting out until marriage while marriage remains economically unobtainable. That's old news. White incels, whose problems are so different that Asian virgins resent sharing a space with them? That's a new paradigm, and generally what journalists are referring to by "incel", accurate or not.

>>11955537
Giving women the right to vote was a mistake, and so was giving men who didn't own land a vote. Separation of Church and state was a mistake too.
Everything was a mistake.

>>11955592

well are they wrong? Look at dating site statistics. the 80:20 rule is completely true. With women no longer having to risk pregnancy to have sex, the distribution of sex has completely fucked itself to the point where about half of all males don't get anything at all

>>11956002

Why? Is it required?

>all these Plebs not applying his historical model to imageboards/Internet culture
Plebs.

>>11956385
The head of the english department chose it for the curriculum. Although the portrayal of 4chan is innacurate, I thought it was quite good for a teen novel.

Look, i support the notion of strawmaning cyber-nazis epicstyle in theory, but this author showed a depressing lack of imagination. i mean, the book was fine i guess. it got the job done. but it was so prosaic. haven't we seen this a hundred times now?
>woman """writes""" book about ebil nazis
>kike publishes and distributes it

raise the stakes for god's sake. do something original.

a believable post, maybe. a real screenshot? surprise me when you try to take out a bunch of asshole /pol/acks.
thats all i'm asking.

>>11956389
the coloured races have gained access to the memes and will use them to destroy us. destroyed by our own creation. ironic

>>11955123
Believe it or not, it was actually shittier. Soon after /lit/s inception it was overrun by a bunch of circle jerking tripfags who made almost every thread about themselves. Absolute garbage.

This board now is shitty during the summer, but peaks mid winter or whenever school exams are in session and only truneets are posting.

>>11955710
>buying this hard into American radicalized propaganda

Literally every incident of anything you hear about is cherry picked to suit some agenda. There is no "incel" problem, let alone a "white incel" problem, it's just the new media boggy man

Journalists are fucking morons, feeding lies and half truths to bigger fucking morons like yourself.

>>11956821
/pol/ is mutts appropriating white people culture by roleplaying as nazis. Basically the barbarians sitting on the ruins of Rome roleplaying as romans. Which might not be too bad in the end.

>>11956858

>>11955537
Incel is short for involuntary celibate. Whining about not getting laid is exactly what it means.

Obviously there are people who don't get laid who don't consider themselves incels because of the community, but from what I've seen most the incel community don't actually believe that they should be legally entitled to sex or anything like that.

Which becomes big on numerous forums WHENEVER it happens. 4chan is not unique in this respect and outside of very few boards is there ever such frequent discussion about school shootings anyway. The problem is 'normies' and journalist outsiders treat 4chan as a monolithic block when intra-4chan attitudes and board culture is so vastly different as you wouldn't even think you were on the same site. Take /pol/ and /po/ for instance. A single mis-click and you enter very very different places.

>will have a remotely accurate idea of what it is?

If the key word here is 'accurate' then you'd be right. However, most of them would have heard of 4chan from some filtered or garbled interpretative news source. It is somewhat similar to Sailor Moon or Pokemon. The numbers of people who have heard of it vastly exceed those who actually watched it.

Kids should be reading Beowulf. Absolutely disgusting.

The term is AIDS either way now, like "triggered" or "cuck". It's used way too often in contexts that don't always make sense, even if used figuratively.

*To specify: They should not be reading some random gutter trash that serves nothing but to help "relate". Especially Bildungsroman. Terrible genre. Who cares about some teenage cunt or abused nigger when 17-year-olds were taking down fucking Carthaginian elephants over two-thousand years ago with throwing-spears?

I remember when this was first posted on 4chan back in 2014 or so and caused outrage

nowadays we got CNN talking about Pepe. hehe.

Not even posters within 4chan respect the diversity so I can’t blame outsiders that much for not knowing

um, ok.

What do you say to the soccer-mums working on their novel, anons?

fuck off and get a real job Karen

most of my friends in high school knew what 4chan was and 3/4 of them post on it

>>11953619
The site attracts a lot of edgy teenages, but many of those edgy teenagers mellow out and turn into normal, well-adjusted adults

My Great American Novel is going to be about a 4channer. Write what you know, right? He'll mostly post on /hr/, /g/, and /an/. (I have an English degree with a writing emphasis.)

Y'all would be surprised about how many "normies" follow 4chinz. Never posting. Just lurking. Keeping track of all the pervos and sickos living in the shithole of cyber-space.

>>11953608
Have you been in 4chan for more than a week?

amygdalatropolis actually does this well. too bad no anons know about it because they don't read, much less read contemporary shit by unknowns, yet they still expect US to indulge them in their writerly pretensions

>>11952224
I mean this website is awful but if you're gonna make a book, as a writer, about a site you should at least be able to mimic the general tone/writing style of that site right

What kind of /b/tard drops the word prosaic casually in their posts

Maeve actually a common name or is it just used commonly as a fantasy trope?

>>11961351
Im pretty sure the writers are totally self-aware and having a bit of a laff, its the audience taking it seriously that is depressing.

>>11961351
holy shit this is awesome

I don't know any Maeves in real life, but I can think of 3 Maeves in TV

> Queen Maeve, main character's mom in Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog
> magic action girl Maeve, Sinbad's girlfriend in Adventures of Sinbad
> Meave the cousin in Arrested Development

>>11961595
The cousin's name is maebe. It's a name I've only noticed in fiction that's really cliched

i knew a maeve in middle school. known for her mosquito bites and i don't think they ever grew in properly. poor bastard

>>11961767
it's an Irish name. No wonder, Karen is a US transplanted potato-eater.

>>11952224
I'm gonna be straight with ya fellas. I have utter contempt for a good majority of you, but reading shit like this reminds me of the dystopian alternative.
