    And that looks like 2chan, which is home to legitimately frightening fascist gamer otaku who stalk idol groups and voice actresses. It's actually kinda interesting how 4chan dorks became the exact mirror image of them despite limited contact

      I wanna be a nerd for a second because I rarely get to reference this, but that there is a great historical example of Marshall McLuhan's materialist principle that the medium is the message. Ways of consuming media are dictated by the medium it comes through and dictates the way you interact with it, producing consistent social results regardless of content. It's honestly one of the greatest modern principles in communications theory.

        i think they have lax moderation in common. Like the only rules in 4chan is don't do illegal stuff, it turns out fascist rhetoric is :freeze-peach:
