I don't think millennials are responsible for 4chan. That shit was a cesspool while most of them were in elementary school.
What? No.
4 chan started in highschool or middle school if you're a bit younger. Millennials used 4chan while genx invented and ran it.
That didn't sound right, so I looked it up: Moot is a millennial. 4Chan's got nothing to do with GenX.
Interesting, i assumed he was older than me but hes actually younger. Appreciate the knowledge.
Being started by a millennial means nothing to the discussion. Were millennials the users who popularized it?
Don't blame me; I'm not the one who brought it up.
Yes.
Source on the last part, please.
And to say millenials invented online bullying ...
Yeah probably some people at bell labs bullied some people in Stanford over ARPANET in the 1970s
"Hey nerds come get your mom she won't leave us alone."
"Fuck you Bellsy!"
"Fuck you Stanford, yer mum's complaining about me dropping packets but it's hard to keep things flowing when UCLA's mum keeps using up all my bandwidth"
Got a laugh out of me mate.
And knowing nothing else about the situation; i can tell you the 'people' at stanford deserved it.
Definitely perfected it.
Also pretty sure the 4chan to Nazi speedrun was a state run psyop. 4chan is by far the easiest social media to manipulate. You don't have to pretend to have a user history.
Definitely not, check your timeframes. I’m a millennial and was in elementary in the 90s. Didn’t really discover 4chan until college years.
