The serious grammar angry moderation GBS of...2012? was half normal boring morons trying to establish an internet fiefdom and half reasonable reaction to this stuff. It's very easy to push an agenda on an online forum.

There will be a Seminal Academic Work about gamergate, 4chan, even SA that our kids or grandkids will have to read imo, don't blame anyone for trying tbh

Lol /pol/ is a small group of loving nobodies do you really believe they have spies hidden in every forum? When you get this paranoid, you're only making them more powerful in your mind than they actually are.

From the paper:

I cannot understand directing any positive attention to that particular corner of the internet.

I don't think they are a super secret cabal running things in the shadows, I think we have a bunch of idiots that were taken in by Trump memes from /pol/ and decided to try and spread their contagious idiocy here.

Personally I never cared about Pepe before it got super popular last year, besides it's 4chan's major meme now so they can do whatever the hell they want with it. Although I've grown to love Shadilay, it's got a funky beat that I can dig, and I pray for Kekistan.

Also this excerpt is gold...



These autists honest to god used EQUATIONS to calculate 4chan posts and raids...they seriously went this far to make loving theorems and equations to see how many anons were posting memes in-between thread updates. MY loving SIDES.

I didn't think college kids could stoop this low, but somehow they found a way...it's stupid but cute to think they know how meme magic works.

In Figure 10, we also report the percentage of /pol/ posts in which the top 15 most “popular” hate words from the hatebase dictionary appear. “friend of the family” is the most popular hate word, used in more than 2% of posts, while “human being” and “retard” appear in over 1% of posts. To get an idea of the magnitude of hate, consider that “friend of the family” appears in 265K posts, i.e., about 120 posts an hour.

Seriously, however silly it sounds it would seem that it'd be counted once. I didn't see a way for them to "weigh" posts.

I've browsed /pol a bit on and off. It feels to be like a playground for social psychologists, social engineers, niche narrative pushers, trolls, and anarchists. The signal to noise ratio is completely unbearable to me. I've become an extreme pessimist about online discussions of all forms, theyre completely ruined by dialog that is not genuine.

Except you guys. You guys seem cool.

I say that unironically as I hope that because SA is smaller and more niche it has less shills than other places on the net.

Whoever would write a sociology paper on 4chan discussion is extemely naive, imo. Youre essentially watching siri, alexa, Shareblue and Stormfront spew memes and calling it a study of human behavior.

like at this point pizzagate isnt even a conspiracy theory its literally anything ridiculous you can accuse someone of sincerely believing in. the only common thread is that pizza shop and all of the funny stuff has nothing to do with it

its a good rear end conspiracy theory too, top tier. lots of laughs all around
