Just your average meltdown or bait
A lot of newfags, especially deranged election shitters, hate the fact that anime has been a part of site culture since the beginning. Whether he's one of them or just parodying them, dunno. Either way it's retardation.

look i don't want to ignite any political shitflinging in the happenings thread and i don't go to pol but didn't reform say they want to repeal the act? i heard reform is actually obscenely popular too. actually let me check.
https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/reforms-ipsos-record-9-point-lead-over-labour-public-satisfaction-government-nears-lowest-point
>Reform UK 34%, Labour 25%, Conservatives 15%, Liberal Democrats 11%, Green Party 9%, Others 6%.
>Ipsos’ newly relaunched Political Monitor shows Reform UK on a 34% vote share, the highest Ipsos has ever recorded for them, and nine points ahead of the Labour Party.
>Labour’s 25% voting intention is the lowest share Ipsos has recorded for Labour since October 2019.
>The Conservatives’ 15% is the lowest share Ipsos has ever recorded.
>The challenge posed by Reform UK to the Conservative Party is clear – over one in three of their 2024 voters (37%) have since switched to Reform UK. Labour is losing support to both Reform UK (12% of their 2024 vote) and the Liberal Democrats and Greens (8% and 5% respectively).
>>23148749
https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/elections-and-voting/general/
the absolute latest would be august 2029 but it could be earlier.
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/calling-general-election
>The public, and opposition parties, can only try and put pressure on the prime minister if they believe an election should be held sooner.
>If a majority of MPs want an earlier election, they could hold a vote of no confidence in the government. If the government lost that, it would have to either resign in favour of the opposition or call an election.
a vote of no confidence requires any majority in the house of commons. the thing is right now labour is in power and they currently have like 400/650 seats in the house of commons so you'd need like at least 75 labour mps to vote against their own party assuming 100% of non-labour mps voted no confidence.

>>23148796
ah i see, ty
i guess it's the archive site who chose that image, which makes more sense
not an official government design lol

>>23148816
>i didn't even think they were moderated or that anyone cared enough to go there.
i would think so too
>>23148835
it will, things always change

>>23148866
you're correct, reform is both very popular and saying they want to repeal it. labour, for whatever reason, thinks this act is the new NHS and is using reform's opposition to it as ammo against them which is so hilariously stupid i feel like they're just trying to hand reform the easiest win possible.
it's at least worth mentioning corbyn's new party though, which is already polling equal to labour despite not being an actual party yet in that it doesn't even having a name or any actual members aside from him and some other ex-labour politician.

i'll try not to get too into it because yeah this is the 4chan happenings thread not political happenings thread but the country's in such a shitty place that i don't even think any other party would remove these laws just because why would they when nobody here cares anyway? especially when this stuff is being pushed in america too, this is really just the beginning

For whatever reason it attributes "gooning" to reddit even though the word was already being used here for a long time before that. "Slop" as slang for shitty low-effort (AI) content is attributed to some Youtuber even though it was already used for that purpose years earlier.

>>23153477
KYM started pretending that the first post to contains a phrase / image was actually the post that created the meme in every single case, intentionally invisibilizing the place that discovered it and turned it into a meme. For basically everything between 2006 and 2014, that was 4chan. So instead of "origin: 4chan" you get "origin: deviant art", "origin: random post on a dead subreddit that got 0 replies" or "origin: some unrelated forum post found on google years before the meme even existed"

Some of the most glaring exmaples involved [s4s] ie:
kek: Somehow invented by wow when kek when it was derived from [s4s]'s top kek pastry
doge: [s4s] was responsible for coining dogespeech and spreading it everywhere. The original photo had like 0 replies.

I think it has become basic protocol to treat every new article the same way. KYM at this point just believes that communities don't exist or are capable of holding differing sets of injokes. So the original post is always the exact origin of the "meme" and every other instance must clearly be the meme "spreading" from there despite their communities being a decade apart or never having been in contact.

tl;dr it's a shitty wiki.

that's literally the source of the joke
WoW filter was made later
4chan did popularize kek, but unlike other memes it's wasn't 100% 4chin

>>23153571
Kek is from World of Warcraft. When someone says "lol" in Orcish it gets translated to "kek" for the non-orcish speakers.

>>23153587
correct

>>23153589
The popularity of kek to this day just shows how big WOW really was imo

>>23153578
this one actually
it wasn't a world filter, it was south korean domination of most online games at the time
(i hated them with a vengeance on starcraft 2)

>>23153596
silence redditor

>>23153587
Acksthually 'kek' is a purposeful reference made by Blizzard referencing its previous game Starcraft where Koreans laughed by saying 'kekeke' and everyone else joked about it

>>23153607
Even if thats true the word still got popularized from WOW and not starcraft.

>>23151484
>seems self-explanatory but qrd?
some time after AI generated pornography got popular, people started uploading realistic depictions of child abuse onto pixiv. everybody knew that these images were trained on actual photographs of children. there was a whole community. they're all splintered now. some moved to niche alternatives. others have their own sites dedicated to it. it's a whole mess.

4chan Happenings?

There's this old adage about arguing on the internet and the special olympics

>>23153895
this is /bant/, that's only one of the events in the autism olympics.
but i'll stop.

>>23148782
The EU is retarded and nobody should be jailed for drawings, but there's nothing in the article OP mentioned relating to that gacha game. Just misinformation posted as an excuse for /v/ lolifags to circlejerk and complain until bump limit that Twitterfags find them gross for spamming "UOH CUNNY TOT" at normies. If ironic weebs weren't being loud and annoying about their weird fetishes, normalfags would leave them alone.
Hell I don't care if they post it, but ever since COVID it feels like they are spamming their autism loudly at everyone and then whining that people get disgusted by it. It's gotten so bad there's an entire subsection of culture war grifters dedicated to arguing about loli, like Hero Hei or Rev_says_desu.

>>23153903
covid seems to have been the lynchpin for alot of things.
the internet wasn't meant for everyone to be forced on it because lockdowns.

>>23153903
>>23154080
The lockdowns were pretty much the catalyst for a lot of this
It's why anime became so popular, normal people found various subcultures and then started flooding them. especially with short form content being so popular, they just find their interests off of TikTok nowadays.

>>23154158
anime becoming a central normie interest has been devastating for what remains of western culture

>>23154080
How long will it take for all of these people to leave?

>>23154189
>How long will it take for all of these people to leave?
Probably a while at this rate. Although it will *never* be the same as it was before COVID.
Especially considering how much the internet is embedded in society now.

>>23154200
Here you can see the trends for "anime" on google search. Note the huge uptick at the beginning of the pandemic? and then notice that it has barely gone down since then, only by a little bit when most lockdowns were lifted. Most of the normalfags who found anime during the pandemic haven't stopped watching it even when they returned to their normal lives.

>>23154212
My bad that's just my country but if we look at worldwide trends it's actually worse
it's stayed the same if not gone up

It's time to bring back 4channel.org to save the bongs

>>23153596
no, this is a misconception. while that is true, kek came from lol. first people started typing "lel," as in saying lol phonetically rather than using it as an abbreviation. next came the "top lel" meme, which was a shop of the guy from workaholics wearing the top gun hat. then there was some scandanavian snack called "top kek" that somebody posted an image of, and that is how kek entered the lexicon. i believe this happened mostly on /tv/.

>>23154868
but what about the bongs in bant?

>>23154166
It's been a "normie" (the word is normalfag) interest since the 90s, especially in Latin America.

>>23153578
>>23153571
>4chan did popularize kek, but unlike other memes it's wasn't 100% 4chin
you both need a refresher on what meme means. "ideas as genes". In order for genes to spread they need to be passes down.
The KEK you see here, in kekistan memes, in twitter, in groyper streams. All got passed down from s4s discovering top kek specifically as a parody of top lel.
The other two have origins elsewhere. kekeke was limited to any game with asians in the 2000s and kek to wow shitposting. They never passed onto 4chan. By the time s4s happened making a joke for either was considered old man shitte.

In short: those are 3 species of a kek meme that have *entirely* different origins and no relation whatsoever.

Otherwise, under KYM's retarded logic, I can go look at any shitpost from USENET in 199X shitting on internet acronyms and suggesting random 3 letter replacements for lol, find one that uses kek, and claim all these groups magically where aware of this one shitpost when they "spread" it to their communities.

>>23153607
didn't the alphabet have a static cypher when playing with another faction?
wait
ah, syllables had different ciphers.

>>23154888
>first people started typing "lel," as in saying lol phonetically rather than using it as an abbreviation
lel came from ironic shitposting. specifically from anons trolling tryhards who disowned rage comics (that used "le" a lot at the time) for being "reddit". pic rel. saved 2014, likely a few years earlier.

There's a whole "memetic" chain that goes
> 2000s rage comics -> le -> ironic shitposting -> lel -> that top gun hat edit saying "top lel" -> s4s meme lingo -> top kek -> kek
And neither wow nor koreans had any influence on it.

>>23155662
I think Le is much more associated with 4chan than reddit these days
>WwW

If you really, REALLY want to be historic then the first 'lol' corruption was probably 'lawl' which originated on YTMND. Seems completely disconnected from 'lel' though.

Why do retards have discord threads instead of just using discord?

>>23155075
yeah but something did happen around 2019 i think
maybe a bit later

>>23155718
there are possible reasons, like less invasive surveillance
i know that is boring though, and i bet you just want to shitfling
if i didn't say "i bet you just want to shitfling" my post would get ignored because it's too boring

>>23155685
Well /b/ invented it. It sucked but it was a thing. /b/ was such a non-entity in 2011 that nobody even remembered they came up with le when 4chan realized Reddit was stealing rage comics.

Shit I don't have any of the /b/ le originals. Don't think i had a 4chan folder that far back.

>>23155662
not entirely true, i missed a few things. first of all people were already ironically spelling lol phonetically before that, "lawl," i went to a nerd high school and in 2007 we were ironically saying lawl aloud to each other. so basically people saying lel was an ironic hipster sort of thing that happened in the "cool story bro" era, i don't think ragecomics started it but it may have. also people were saying kek before top kek, trying to outhipster the people that were saying lel, but the top kek thing pushed it over the top, it was very funny. and /s4s/ being the place where that was first posted makes a lot of sense.

>>23155766
These days people mainly say "lowhl" in my experience.
I've heard second-hand that "kek" came from WoW as some sort of horde jargon.

Cloudflare seems to be fucking with Gelbooru and other similar sites. Rumors say that it's in response to UK and USA's shitty anti-porn/child safety laws.

>The site's been fined $25,000 plus daily penalties
if we want to be accurate and precise about reporting this kind of sentiment has only been asserted by 4chan's legal representation and they added a little caveat. also btw these are not quotes from dexerto because dexerto's headline is obviously citing the actual primary article so i am citing the actual primary non-dexetro article too. i didn't link it because the outlet has an unfortunate abbreviation which would limit visibility but the article was linked in this thread if you search the abbreviation.
>Ofcom has declined to comment while its investigation continues.
>According to Preston Byrne, managing partner of law firm Byrne & Storm, Ofcom has provisionally decided to impose a £20,000 fine "with daily penalties thereafter" for as long as the site fails to comply with its request.
provisionally decided? so not actually decided yet? if so that would with my understanding of these safety act fines.

Is /lgbt/ the most unique board on 4chan? Whereas other boards shun discord and namefags /tttt/ openly embraces them.

nice article.
>In an interview with The Verge, Byrne said that he’d already been in communications with Congressional offices and administration officials who were following not just this case, but other enforcement incidents he’d flagged in Europe.
lawyer's statements.
>Byrne claimed that current members of the “U.S. Federal Government” were “very hungry for information, for solid, actionable information, about this… as a free speech activist, I’ve been impressed, I’ve been humbled, I’m immensely grateful to our government, and how they’re responding. I have nothing bad to say about how the government has handled this.”
federal gov.
>The Verge confirmed that Byrne had made contact with Congressional offices; the State Department did not return a request for comment regarding whether they were in contact with Byrne.
some confirmation.
>Previously, the Biden Administration had been serving notices from Germany to one of Byrne’s clients for violating the online safety law NetzDG, but Byrne argued that they had done so in a way that circumvented the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. “When we made contact with the [current] government over Ofcom, we disclosed the misuse of the MLAT procedure to serve foreign censorship demands under the Biden Administration,” he continued. “The notices [from Germany] have since stopped.”
results for a different client. also the dude apparently represented parler and other "free speech websites" as he describes them for almost 10 years.
>“None of my clients, including 4chan, will allow themselves to be deputized by a hostile foreign government which wants to censor its own people,” he wrote. “Ofcom has the power, if it wants, to get a court order and serve that order on UK-based ISPs to DNS block 4chan. That is entirely a domestic UK matter for Ofcom and the British courts to decide upon.”

desu I don't think this article was particularly encouraging. looks like they're just trying to politicise the issue with the trump administration, I don't see any other outcome other than UK blocking 4chan.
I mean I don't think there ever was a clear path for it not to happen but it is a bit discouraging to learn that they aren't even going to try.

>>23159931
I was wondering how & why my thread was still up

>>23161124
>>23161195

>>23161222
UK blocking 4chan is the "neutral" outcome
If the UK wants to cuck themselves that's their prerogative
What's going over the line was putting the onus of restricting UK users on 4chan and threatening to fine. That just isn't how any of this works. "We will fine you for serving users in our country unless you XYZ" only works for companies like facebook who want to maximize global usage

>pajeet jannies
Ever since the hack people have been constantly calling jannies jeets. It seems like it's become more common than calling jannies trannies. I think this means jeets are officially hated more on 4chan than trannies now, considering "tranny" was considered the worst insult for years and thus the main one used for jannies.

>>23163246
I'm pretty sure Section 230 protects 4chan and Twitter here. Also I'm willing to bet ChatGPT wrote the bulk of this document.

>>23164178
I've skimmed their Doom-related threads once or twice and their entire gripe with the retro FPS general on /vr/ is that they can't freely cry about trannies or off-site gossip. Maps with over a hundred enemies are too spicy for them as well.

>>23164523
>that they can't freely cry about trannies or off-site gossip.
they were hoping the site died during the downtime for this exact reason. kiwi's law: any discussion on KF eventually turns into tranny discussion.

>>23164408
Pretty sure Jews are still hated even more than Indians, a lot of anti-Indian posts even call them out specifically as though there's any connection beyond some Hindu nationalists wanting to see kebab removed in Gaza.

>>23164408
i noticed this too, but the weird thing is tranny is an actual slur that nowadays even more conservative normalfags can't/won't say (publicly), but pajeet is a fake name that was literally made up for a 4chan meme that nobody that isn't a terminally online tryhard even knows. and anyway even if they did know, jokes about indians are everywhere so it's not even offensive, just tedious.

>>23164408
I need to see a graph of kike/nigger/spic/(pa)jeet/tranny/faggot/etc use over time

>>23164729
"Tranny" is much more archaic and soft than the Kiwitard-derived "troon". Whenever I see someone use the first word I think they're either over 40 and/or transgender themselves.

>>23164678
kike/jew conveys moral disgust but jeet carries with it ridicule/belittlement. It fits much better for "punching down"

>>23165265
troon really comes from SA and the offshoot sites where they'd harass the mods

>>23165279
It wasn't used as a slur until recently, nor does it mean "trans goon" anymore.

>>23165265
Most other slurs (nigger, faggot, kike, etc.) are far older than that. Sounds like you're just butthurt and coping.

>>23165265
for me it's too niche a word to take seriously. the first time i saw it i could kind of tell what it meant by context but if i have to look through urban dictionary to understand a slur it's not offensive it's just boring. not for words like faggot i guess but that's old enough to where its meaning is solidly secondary to its intent

>>23165299
What is there to be butthurt over? "Tranny" can be a term of endearment. And nigger and faggot are bad examples considering the groups they're meant to target use them amongst each other in a similar manner, albeit blacks soften up their word a bit.

>>23165416
homosexuals are softing their word nowadays as well from what i've been seeing

Saying nigger faggot kike is a given on this site, on the other hand I rarely saw the word "tranny" outside of porn boards until the late 2010s

>>23165464
YAp ID
they each have their purpose
"nigger" can be thrown around willy nilly
"faggot" is almost a term of endearment
"kike" is usually reserved for race baiters (who else tries to divide people using the original brainless slop that is porn?)

>>23165464
Up until the mid-2010s, transgenders were mostly seen as what they truly are, which is a fetish and a punchline. It wasn't until that time period that they started ramping up their rhetoric and getting politicians to give them access to creep around in women's bathrooms.

do other imageboards need to wipe their content every day? i bet you're just gonna say "obsessed" and leave in a few mins. i'm tempted to post the various leaks here since theres nothing you can do about it on here other than hope the report autojanny gets me but i'm too gay and lazy for it.

also lmao you janny a pedo board on a ban evasion site for free and ban people for evading bans on it. isn't it ironic? i would unironically kill myself in your position. get yourself a gun. should be easy since you're in TX.

oh but i know telling you all this is legitimately pointless since you're a stereotypical homosexual with some kind of cluster B personality disorder so you think you're not wasting oxygen but idk i'd never miss an opportunity tell you to die

It says a lot when the fat fuck that posts his dick every day on multiple board is the least insane proxyfag on the site.

>>23172137
did the ecker even really do anything wrong other than shit up the site with gay porn? as far as i can tell there's no embed methods built into his stuff and he bans people who do illegal shit with it.

>>23172151
>did the ecker even really do anything wrong other than shit up the site with gay porn?
Hand out free proxies to people desperate enough to send him dick pics, which in turn shit up the site with all kinds of trash. Also I heard that at least one of the current embedding methods was made by him, but I have no means to confirm it.

>>23172245

Porn addiction requires ever-more taboo and strange additions to maintain any semblance of excitement. Most of them would never even want to diddle a kid irl; they're just in it for the thrills.

The original 4chan authors? Gears? Clef? They've been "still around" in name only for at least 10 years. Everyone else has long left or been expelled for being too toxic, or an actual bona-fide sex creep in Bright's case.

Absolutely no one from the original 2000s gang remains. Bright was arguably the last. The oldest guard these days dates 2013-2014, and in a few years the number will go higher as DJKaktus' - one of the leading figures in the quality-erosion of the Foundation - has his skeletons in the closet put on air.
