because /lit/ used to be a higher quality 4chan board, like /mu/, where you could actually discuss relatively niche and patrician works of art of the board's chosen medium

having every thread have the first comment be "we're a white supremacist board sweetie" is bringing the board down to /tv/ quality posting

[Anonymous No.11807240]

Over the last two years we've been playing host to a significant amount of /pol/ immigrants. They come here and don't respect the existing board culture, instead demanding we assimilate to them. They come here because they look for books to back up their viewpoints, instead of forming a viewpoint after being exposed to lots of information. 100% of people who post Jordan Peterson here didn't browse /lit/ in 2015. 100% of people who post Evola here didn't browse /lit/ in 2015.

Unfortunately Moody's integrity is the reason we have this problem. Before /pol/ there was /new/, which was similarly retarded. Moot deleted the board, but then realised he was being hypocritical since he had previously attacked the owner of Encyclopaedia Dramatica for deleting a community simply because she didn't like what was in it. He then brought back /new/ as /pol/ and doomed this site and himself.

Now it's too big to delete without the fallout completely destroying the site.

/v/ is one of the most "4chanest" of 4chan boards. It's fully of horny sexually frustrated teenage boys who find memes and crude humor delectable.

[Anonymous No.11807439]

Does anyone else use slower boards? I frequent one (I won't say) and it's been really fascinating to watch it turn into a /pol/ sub-board aligned with the board's stated interest. The emergence of /pol/ narratives on it has been rapid and recent and quite depressing.
The worst part about it is I've come to feel this is inevitable. Politics already creeps into every facet of daily life these days, and I guess 4chan is no different. I watched it happen to /lit/, I'll watch it happen to my other board. I just want a place to talk about my hobbies, man.

I don't think it's profitability so much. The more infamous 4chan became, the less profitable moot said it was. I think it's more the fear of raids. After the mods banned gamergate threads on /v/ you genuinely couldn't talk about video games for a whole month. Every on topic thread was just spammed with gore and gamergate posting. The board completely imploded. Now imagine that happening site wide. I think that's what the fear is, and the longer they leave it the more pronounced that fear becomes.

You're a complete retard, but what you're saying is slightly correct. There is not, of course, an actual "awakening" in any broad cultural sense. However, the stormfags did succeed in setting up their underage faggot radicalization center that they had been trying to for years (which is the direct reason /new/ was nuked by moot in the first place), which is why you (and this is only if you actually sincerely believe in this in the first place and aren't yourself a shill) seem to believe a general cultural movement is in motion when really it's really just movement on the fringe.

This is different. The seeds of the 1965 immigration act have fully blossomed and white kids born after 2000 have lived without ever knowing anything besides our diverse melting pot. Those kids are rapidly turning far more radical than any 80s cultural shift. Fundamentally different issues are being discussed this time around. It isn't a tax debate or cold war chest thumping.

I actually do see your point. There are a ton of boomers there (I thought it was larping but a ton of them do stupid shit like timestamp pictures of their houses).

It used to have more libertarians, but honestly the decline could just be veterans figuring out Ron Paul is never going to be in office and that a vaguely maybe-racist philosemitic New Yorker is the best a nationalist can hope for in this day and age.

But I actually abstained from going to 4chan until after I turned 18 like a moralfag. I expected /b/ to be full of epic memes, or at least people trying way too hard to become internet famous. Instead it was just a bunch of vanilla porn that I could have gone to /hc/ for.

It became the most popular board so it's memes infest everywhere. Due to being the largest board it also has the biggest proportion of newfags. anti/pol/ shit has become a meme in itself.
