Moot, the founder of 4chan, meeting Epstein, directly spawned /pol/ - as in, the very same day they met, the image board was launched
And by extension, gamergate, Qanon, and the online alt-right at large. The sheer scale of the impact on this is hard to encapsulate in a couple threads.
But I can give it a shot. I used to be a user on 4chan, specifically on the /v/ (videogames), /tg/ (tabletop/"traditional games") and /m/ (mecha) boards.
When /pol/ was made, it was when stuff changed.
