You need the MC to do something in the real world that is 4chan related. Perhaps he does a school shooting? Or bombs a synagogue?
Or perhaps he's a lurker on the porn boards /hc/ and /s/ and tries to lose his virginity in the real world?

I was leaning more towards non-fiction analysis type of thing. Like trying to understand and explain what the website actually is behind the bullshit mythos. In some sense the mainstream sees 4chan still as the "mysterious hacker" and now as the alt-right terrorist cell or something, but i'd like to explain how a lot of the perceived danger in reality is overblown and how the website is a lot more about pathetic people crying about how shit their lives are. Building on that myth in the normalfag-sphere 4chan is seen as some sort of monolith hivemind and i'd go in and say that it's a chaotic mess where no one is able to agree with anyone for more than 10 seconds and that any collective action is rare and usually an accident, most of the influence from here is unconscious and comes through memetic energy osmosis. One of the main points would be that 4chan has the best memes and influences the rest of the internet because it strikes the perfect balance between popularity and freedom of speech... actually fuck you faggot. I'm going to write it and tell you about it. It's about my experience here, the influence it had on me and my thoughts about why people come here at all and how we're not all epic evil hax0rz and much more just people looking for a place to belong in.

4chan is not social media. This is a pernicious mischaracterization of the website, which has always been superior to social media precisely because it is closer in spirit to older forms of communication on the internet than to the newer ones, the latter being the social media. Social media entail user accounts, with which one's real name, face or other personally identifying details are commonly associated. This also contrasts with old fora, in that the most common practice on older fora was to use some sort of handle or nickname, as opposed to one's real name. Do not say "some human beings interact with each other on it in between all the bots, therefore it counts as social media". This is a simplistic and plainly false misunderstanding of what social media is, which has a very specific and a very particular meaning (post-web 2.0 media), associated above all with the aforementioned personally identifying user accounts.

I disagree, this place is still a social media platform in my eyes, but without the idea of an "true" account or the act of cataloging user activity within the account (which was something you were trying to explain in your post). 4chan is a complex website where the user mostly dictates what's right or wrong depending on the board and the type of users using that board through a system called (you)s, which is very similar to a like to dislike ratio or a comment section. It is far from being superior to social media due to it being moderated by literally anyone. Hence why so many people hate the moderators in this site. The moderators dictate the quality of the site; and if they don't have their shit together, this place and many other boards suffer in quality for months on end (which has been happening for a while now). You can see this in many other social media platforms around the net, too. Any place that has you interacting with a human IS a social platform. It is not simplistic, because it literally is what it is. A place to talk to people online, whether being an imageboard, forum, or an app on your phone, it all interconnects. The only difference being the absence of accounts and being able to be anonymous (anonymity which can easily be done in any other social media site). Real names or not, people still use them on this website and sometimes have IDs attached. You can buy an account here if you want to, if you haven't noticed. 4chan also has archival sites were posts get archived, and there are strategies on finding exact user posts on this site. This place isn't too far off from being a modern social media platform.

>How to make it work?

I can see two ways:
The first could be a nonfiction book cataloguing the history of 4chan and its memes. This is 100% going to be historically relevant one day and this site isn't archived on the wayback machine.

My second idea is a book of poems written like shitpost. Greentext isn't seen as a literary genres but it will be classical literature in 30 years.

>I disagree

And you are wrong in doing so. This good place, which is good exactly because it always has been "bad" or "naughty", even though it has alphabet soup minders mining data, should not be sullied with the epithet "social media", both for the satisfying reasons which I have given, and also due to the cultural differences in the involved paradigms. I have always fundamentally and correctly liked this particular website exactly for the reasons satirized in the OP's image, whatever that says about me as a person. I have always fundamentally disliked and distrusted the "conventional social media platform" as it is manifested in the later stuff. Your blather does make fair points about how a user may elect to disclose personal details or not within a given paradigm, but your doubling-down on the mistaken idea that 4chan counts as social media ignores that I had pre-emptively refuted that mistaken impulse in what you'd just replied to. It's a "nuh-uh". Like the word "blog", (a horribly ugly word), "social media" is itself a horribly ugly phrase. I blush to suggest "parasocial media" or "anti-social media", because both are even worse, and accept the basic frame of 4chan being "social media" which is fundamentally incorrect. Again, the term "social media" is closely associated with a very particular form of technology which arose in the mid 2000s.

Consider also the prevalence of each "thing" as a widely available "app", an "icon". 4chan, by contrast, is (I've heard) suppressed by certain search engines. This also points to a sharp distinction.

Even the timing is useful as an absolute historical divide. 4chan was initiated in 2003-2004 (with fits and starts, crashes), Dumbbook shortly thereafter. 4chan was the last of the Good, Dumbbook first of the Bad. It's a really useful demarcation to understand how the internet gradually went to shit, a process accelerated once the DumbPhone 1.0 came out.

[Anonymous No.21800135]

>>21799848
I still disagree, most of your blather is just you getting pissed off at the fact that I called 4chan a "social media" which it is. It is social because people interact with each other over various topics. It's a form of media because it provides the user the option to upload pictures and videos to the imageboard. It's not to hard to understand why I think this and why many others would agree.

4chan itself isn't even a good thing, even most users would agree with me on this point. Why? Because this place usually tends to a mind rotting endless circlejerk filled to the berm with pornography (just like social media). Just because you can say nigger forever doesn't main anything in the long run; that word has become so meaningless it's as common as saying "the". inb4 ze left still gives it meaning; which is true somewhat, but at the end of the day most people don't give a shit.

Also Myspace (launched August 2003) came before 4chan (launched October 2003). Myspace was very similar to Facebook in it's time. It may not be at it's height anymore but social media does date back to that similar time era, even before 4chan. inb4 2chan, 2chan was mostly centered in Japan before moot took it's formula and turned it into his own website for the U.S.

If you look at early screenshots of 4chan at that time, people usually used names, most weren't anonymous like today. Don't believe me? Here's a link for proof: https://web.archive.org/web/20031010203044/http://img.4chan.net/b/20.htm

I don't remember the n-word getting dropped with any frequency.
You have to understand that, back when Usenet was our main "social media" option, the Internet was still composed of government departments, large companies, and colleges.
In addition, it was text-only.
That tended to self-select thoughtful, intelligent people.
So Usenet was not the cavalcade of stupidity and coarseness that the Internet is today.
I remember, back in 1993, when Al Gore opened his big mouth and told everyone about the Internet, around the same time the first web browser showed up.
I immediately bemoaned the obvious consequence, that a bunch of morons were about to flood onto the Internet and change it forever, for the worse.

4chan is not social media, which is precisely its appeal. Good job repeating my use of "blather" for want of your own vocabulary.

Early tripfagging is not the same thing as a "name", or an account setup. The latter implies a (minimal) commitment to something, the mere typing of a name and trip into a box even less so. As early as 2004-05, the vast majority of traffic on /b/ was Anonymous. You were obliged to go back to the very, very beginning of the site (the first few thousand posts!) and cherry-pick a page from the site's protean state to try to present it as a norm, which it never was.

Social media as a phrase is most closely associated with an account setup to which one's real name and face are commonly attached. This was said before. 4chan is not that. 4chan is not social media, and cannot be argued to be "social media" just because each word can be taken component-wise to apply, as you tried before. This is a sneaky, bullshit argument which sounds good on the surface but doesn't actually characterize what social media is. I'm right, you're wrong.

Theirs been many books on journalist going on 4chan and describing the type of culture that mostly thrives with the alt-right (anti-Semitism, incels, bigotry, and racism), all to make some central point on internet culture or poltical movmenets in rl. So if someone is making a book about 4chan in a non-fiction way, it has to be super specific while having broad appeal. I can see someone talking about /r9k/ in the late 2000s and early 2010's period. Discussing alienation in early to mid twenties youth on the state of the world and the hole they keep digging for themselves. Theirs also a discussion of pornography which wouldn't be great as a main focus for a book but can easily be a whole section of chapters. If theirs enough research and a great thesis. I think the most interesting idea is how the whole structure of an anonymous image board can be a really great encapsulation of how the internet should work.

I also have an idea for one, but there's the question of where to publish it and whether or not you should even associate it with your main alias, not to mention how to write the story in a way that doesn't make it too esoteric (a slog of inside jokes and references) or too broad (just a general book about internet addiction.) Maybe a history-of book would work, like if you turned https://wiki.bibanon.org/4chan/History into something literary, since that could attract a general, morbidly curious audience, but in my case I'd want to attempt something in the vein of Nausea, which would likely only find readers here and which would immediately be torn to shreds by you fuckers unless I turn out to be the next DFW.

I completely agree with most of what you said. To tell the truth, I am a phone poster mostly because I'm more used to it and I can't/don't be on my computer most of the time. The problem I noticed with people that are clearly phone posters is how they make threads like crazy, low quality in the way they're not thought out, and they usually dont reply in their own threads. I think something that's overlooked about threads lasting is the amount of care the OP has for the subject. If people either have the understanding that the OP doesn't have the capabilities of discussion or he isnt talking, most people should just not reply to the thread and wait to make their own of the same subject. That way, it'll promote a culture not dictated by these types of people

4chan is not social media. When people say "social media", they mean a very particular sort of thing: facebook, twitter, instagram (and further back, myspace). "Social media" was not a widespread phrase until the early 21st century, in connection with facebook especially (and this is also why pointing to the odd possible usage of the phrase from the 80s or 90s doesn't count, because the point is its popular meaning in the vernacular, which didn't have currency back then). Livejournal would be a better example of a paradigm which was "close" to what was about to come. Because of the phrase's 21st century currency, this is why it's also wrong to try to retcon it back onto the old stuff (Usenet, etc). It is a Web 2.0 creature, associated with real names/faces corresponding to real people. Take "chat rooms", known in the 90s. A distinct thing. So too 4chan.

You remain mistaken. 4chan is not social media.

4chan is not social media. The arguments have been given, you're just having a bit of fun at this point, by way of abdicating the argument.

4chan isn’t as big and influential as you think

It got a bunch of normies to think the "OK" hand gesture means "white supremacy", didn't it?

>When people say "social media", they mean
Literally a strawman argument. Again.
You really are a blowhard brainlet, aren't you.

We clearly have different ideas of what influential means

I think making a bunch of normies seethe about something for no reason counts as influential.
Don't even get me started on the epic 4chan troll known as "QAnon".

Six Days in the Life of David Vallejo could be interpreted that way.

This is when I know someone spends too much time online and is young. I think of internet influential as bleeding over into the real world. Reddit does this, Twitter does this, tiktok does this. 4chan doesn’t. They may have created a meme or two back in the day when creative anons were around, but that’s largely it. I herd u liek mudkipz…big fucking whoop. 4chan doesn’t hold a candle to the other social media sites

not that anon, but I was literally in the infinitychan thread where Q first posted you fucking idiot
4chan bled over into the real world super hard around the election and shortly afterwards. Recently wojaks escaped to become a universal format of their own, meanwhile your example of an influential meme is "i herd u liek mudkipz" ffs

How about a fiction book about a tranny organizing discord raids to convert people to communism?

[Anonymous No.21803998]

4chan will and will always be /a/. The culture there is 4chan. From the shitposting to the idolatry to the memes, everything revolves around/a/.

[Anonymous No.21804005]

>>21803998
The only thing that revolves around /a/ is avatarfags and discord tranny raids
Not that the board is bad for what it is, I just mean the reasons it's relevant to the rest of the site

After I finished writing The Shitkickers, I was thinking about my 3rd book and what it would be about...

I had the idea that either a draft happened to get young men to fight Russia in Northern Canada, or there was a second "COVID" vaccine that was mandatory... either case, I envisioned a bunch of misfits locked away in a camp for dissidents...

Anyways, I had wrote a bunch of the story and it involved a group of young people in the camp who wanted to escape, but nobody had a plan. Then some total schizo from /pol/ decided to write a super crazy manifesto and he sticks it to the wall by the chow building in the camp, and the warden of the camp loses his shit over it and takes away everyone's privileges. Then someone notices the memes in the schizo's manifesto and comments that he was a 4channer... then a bunch of other prisoners in the camp slowly admit to each other they are also from 4chan... but they all have 1-2 favourite boards they belong to.

Then these 4channers from /b/ and /k/ and /tv/ and /pol/ get together and discuss what skills they have, and how to use them together to propagandize the guards into helping them, how to redpill others into wanting to escape, how to build weapons for the day they plan to riot, and how to manipulate the media into taking the prisoner's side once the riot starts.

Was having a super hard time coming up with a name for this book, so I abandoned it and started a novel about AI and MAIDs instead...

Nonsense. It's just that by the time normalfags adopt something that originated on 4chan people forget that it actually originated here.
