I think the abrasive edgelord internet badboy counterculture peaked 2008-2015. Its coming back because of X and other censors pulling back. During the rise of trump the left called attention to it because it was full of trump supporters and wanted to use it to paint the right as deadly sinfully racist sexist and homophobic. Because of the pushback and increased scrutiny it was not the same but it was fun sharing a 4chan movement to elect Trump.View attachment 8525
Can't say you're wrong. After all here's one such faggot screen capped (for posterity). That's just how it is with zoomers now. Us millennials grew up with PCs but we were still in that sweet spot of having actual social skills and common sense. In those days, the Internet was the wild West. Anything goes, that type of thing. I'd say it peaked in 2016, but some argue it peaked later.
Oh well. Life goes on.
You were part of this culture? What happened?
