/pol/ worships this faggot?

Yes, but not because moot was some genius admin. It was just a smaller, more niche site and people tried to maintain some semblance of site culture.

Depends on the era. Been here since 2006, if you brought back the old culture it would be near insufferable meme spam and everyone competing to create a new viral meme. 2010s was basically an edgier version of Reddit, mostly fake stories, occasional gore, proudly degenerate/contrarian, and repetitive memes masquerading as culture. Then stormfags started raiding this website and it quickly became political then there was a coup on /v/ around 2014 when gamergate started. They accused moot of being an sjw because he was banning stormfags and he just left the website and got a job at google. After this the website changed beyond recognition, the memes stopped and people started having real discussions/sharing news, the political narrative consolidated, and you'd gradually see people stop talking about anime and instead talk about countries instead. Right now people use more k-pop/gravure reaction images than they do anime, should tell you a lot how this website has changed. What I find most interesting is that perceptions of Japan went from being a haven against conservative censorship where you could draw shota and watch gay porn without fundamentalists censoring you to somehow being a conservative bastion that suppresses homosexuality. In some cases it's literally reverse from what it used to be.

old 4chan was never good

it was an infantile culture obsessed with memes. it was cool when I was like 15 but it isn't cool anymore

and memes from the early internet era sucked ass too. I LIEK MUDKIPS type garbage

these types of posts were all the rage on early 4chan because just typing up this many paragraphs was considered a massive accomplishment among those mental midgets

I didn't imply it was. The only thing I miss was when people could make the distinction between anime, video games, and Japan, that line blurred. If you remember viral culture from 2014 on the mainstream internet it was exactly the same thing, but less sanitized. I prefer it now, but my only complaint is that people have become more delusional and confusing the Internet for reality, back then there was a clear line between fiction and reality.

I was like 10 when I first was on 4chan, it was pre-hiromoot by a long shot and pre-2016 reddit migration. it was really fun i enjoyed it a lot, id browse that and damnLOL and happiness and cyanide and roblox forums. That was 4chan back then, good and innocent. this was before /b/ became entirely traps and trannies

I don't even remember what websites I used

I really liked this one website that was basically a blog filled with memes ripped from 9gag lol. I loved basilmarket, a maplestory forum. I also liked a bunch of flash games websites like nitrome and armor games.

nitrome still has soul despite being basically dead for years

i liked that nobody took the internet seriously bro
i really dont give a fuck for the political shit at all while simultaneously they dont even tell girls tits or gtfo on /fit/ anymore. i feel like this is just another reddit now where everyone takes themselves so seriously and it makes me sad for a moment before i realise im an adult and go do something else

>>214486541
Holy shit i remember the sheer amount of time i spent in this shit.
I really liked the brain parasite one and the one where you kill dragons

It's simply because people posting this stuff were 15 y/o and now they're 35

Why does gay sex always look painful and uncomfortable for everyone involved

>>214487053
So you don't mistake it for str8 sex which is pleasurable to all involved
