Current Events > Nothing "epic" happens on the internet anymore

(+) Yeah! (+)

4chan is basically just a porn site now. LUElinks (also known as ETI) is just another social board. I have had an account there since 2017 and literally nothing interesting ever happens there. Its just old gamers chatting with each other.

Even CE used to have fun shit happen on it. Gamefaqs has a pretty interesting history. The internet just doesn't entertain me at all now.

I just want something interesting and amusing to happen online so I can be entertained.

See it as a sign that you should get off the Internet and do something in real life.

The Silent Hill Wiki circumcision fiasco.

SomethingAwful's FYAD board getting shut down, and the shitstorm that went down after.

Tumblr sagas like "Pearl Hates the Irish" and "Joe Biden buried a dog"

I'm sure Twitter has some stories but it's way too big for me to comb through.

On CE I guess the last big thing was Dawkins going to jail.

But why isn't the younger generation carrying the mantle? Gen Z needs to up their game

Youtube has a ton of channels that have what would pass as tv quality shows 15 years ago.

All the epic is on apps that require wifi but which can be viewed from a smart tv or whatnot. Id still consider that internet, personally.

---

Gen Z probably creates all their drama on TikTok, Twitter, and various YouTube genres.

I miss the days of message boards. Hell even reddit in it's earlier days had fun stuff

the "epic" shit happens on places like kiwifarms but even that's lame 90% of the time

Thats because Kim Kardashians ass already broke the internet.

4chan peaked with the Meme Wars back in 2016.

Is this....is this an act. Please tell me this these videos aren't real. I mean dude has shoes in a nasty bathtub because he doesn't want to step in it and then pulls a pot out of it to cook with. That has to be on purpose but he sounds completely serious

I really wish someone had taken over hosting of WikiFAQs and the GameFAQs Archive.

SA would be the most popular message board now that still has crazy sagas now and again. The FYAD thing was huge and happened in Janurary.

The the recent insurrection of genuine fascists really fucked a ton of online spaces. Modern 4chan is practically unusable unless you have an IQ of 60, the ps4 boards on this site are mouth breather central, the site I mentioned my earlier post is filled to the brim with nazis who mostly just harass and dox furries and trans people who tend to mind their own business. High profile white nationalist content creators have six digit subs on youtube, like half the political subs on reddit are alt right.

Fucking cockroahes infesting half of social media and turning it into a shitshow of bottom of the barrel content.

---

Nazis do indeed ruin everything, but I think that is because so many sites are content to let the bad element in and fester. Obviously you can't get rid of all of it, especially on the bigger sites, but Reddit in particular had and still kind of has a very pro-free speech attitude to moderation, which leads to Nazis, pedophiles, etc sticking around even if you crush their biggest subreddits.

I am aware of how shit Kiwifarms is too, which is I why my face was when you said it had even 10% good content.

Yeah, it doesn't help that when the nazi subs are brought into the spotlight you have a ton of ignorant centrists getting upvoted for their spineless fence sitting. For example, r/politcalcompassmemes is basically turned into a authright haven, but if you try to mention this outside of leftwing spaces you just get downvoted and replies like "imagine getting offended by memes, now this is a libleft moment." The reddit userbase is perfectly content with letting nazis just shit wherever they want.

Understandable, 90% was too low, it's really just... that one thread where they helped expose a ring of child molesting zoosadists. They also put the spotlight on a guy who abused and murdered by his boyfriends by forcing them to take dangerous saline injections.

Out of those two events the website is a net negative for the internet.

Ive found, in my 20 years of running the site, that whenever you ban an ironic Nazi, suddenly they become actual Nazis,

god this is just way too true

Where are all these nazis on reddit? And the lax free speech? Whenever i call someone a little bitch i get banned for 3 days. I see none of this shit you people are talking about. Do you look for places to get pissed off? Can someone name a high profile white nationalist youtuber so i can see this trash myself?

Stefan Molyneux, Gavin McInnes, Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder, just to name a few.

Do you seriously live under a rock or something? The alt right has a huge internet presence, especially on youtube.

Because memes have taken over.

I literally mentioned one in my post, a place where people unironically flair themselves as being close to hitler politically and they're treated as good folk. If you want more then you could just delve into these users' post histories.

Gavin, Milo, and Crowder?

I know Gavin started the Proud Boys and that morphed into some alt right movement. What has Gavin said that is horrible? Ive seen some of his highlights and that shit is hilarious. He lays it down. Did he do something i am unaware of?

Milo i heard gets his kicks triggering liberals and is a gay man who brags about sleeping with black men. From what ive heard he is quite *ahem* blacklisted.

Crowder I have heard of his show, Louder with Crowder, and hes pretty aggressive and politically incorrect. Did he do something fucked up?

Molyneux ive never heard of, thought that was the dude who made Fable.

Live under a rock? No i have an apartment in Montana and i dont follow any weird alt right shit. I thought Gavin and Crowder were funny though, based on the little i have seen. Milo seems like he is playing a character.
