4chan engendered a deep sense of self-loathing in kids that were predisposed to it, and that self-loathing became general resentment and misanthropy. The tone of every thread is wildly aggressive and insecure. No one is allowed a name or individual identity or the illusion that they could treat others or be treated with an ounce of humanity. It's a constant performance of masculinity by and for people who were never able to be masculine in their real selves.
