Honestly the more I think about, the more it felt like that Chan culture works more like a cult.
For starter most of their membership are largely alienated that the site is legitimately the only place they have any social contact, Its members are constantly have their confidence torn down with barrage of degradation and hate packaged as some kind of humorous tough love, and they're constantly pitted against outsiders to built up a feeling that the chans are the only place where they will be "welcome" and thus made them distrustful of outsider.
These are straight up textbook cult practice. Reels in vulnerable people with little support system, gaslit the shit out of them to make them feels even more alienated and dependent on the cult, and make them hostile against outsiders who they felt are coming after their group.
