I have an eerie feeling Sup Forums

I have an eerie feeling Sup Forums

After looking through some oldfag threads, I've realized something. Something very disturbing, ironically, because what I've noticed is the lack of disturbing things on Sup Forums today.

I understand Oldfags of Sup Forums are now more mature and most don't even come here anymore let alone integrate/post with neo/b/.

However, you should still see today's newfags posting at least a few shocking things. I don't mean gore, I don't mean gross fetish porn, I don't mean insane rekt webms. I mean just, idk, the general feel and persona (?) of today's user population.

No one even speaks with disturbing passion anymore. Every day you'd see some autistic fucker posting some disturbing, rude, passionately revolting shit on here.

This place is anonymous for a reason. There's no reason for courtesy and comradarie here. Is today's youth really this pacified? Is the testosterone gone from everyone in America today? I'm guessing a lot of you will misinterpret what I'm trying to say I'm not just ranting about not enough shocking OC on Sup Forums anymore. I'm talking solely about neo-anons general attitude.

You have an entire board to cuss shit, piss, be racist on a level that would scare the toughest of niggers. You'd be lucky to see one person today even using the word. On an anonymous board no less.

This is gonna sound very Sup Forumsey, but have the Jews really mind Controlled you? Is this generation REALLY just a bunch of low-T faggots? Do any of you have any balls anymore? It's sad enough that this is a noticeable fact. Is this the end though? Do we all just eventually sing kumbaya together and everyone’s a cuck? I know that sounds nice to some, but in reality - no. Shits insanely gay. Bunch of hens just waiting to get their heads chopped off. Every. Single. One. Of. You. Myself included. Even I've noticed myself lose any sort of edge. This post even. I’m legit scared of the future. Pre-2010 I prob would have used much more profanity.

PROFANITY,th- (cont...)

yeah me too

Newfag

That is one FUCKED up eye

PROFANITY blah blah nevermind wall of text is too wall. This is all lost. It’s lost. Everyone is a pussy now. Everyone is a man girl. Why?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about though? I haven't read one hung that's disturbed me in the past 5 years here. Did old Sup Forums really desensitize.

What's caused this?

Brofist

What is anons thoughts about this? Or am I totally off and we're not on the same page? What's up with you youngfags? You're not getting it done. This is what we pass the touch to? Where are my demented fuckers? Scare me.

All the OC created here. The hours spent on projects students, teachers, government officials of user would spend on these stupid little memes just to give back to their community that shocked and awed them. What's happened here? Seriously. Someone make me understand?

Fuck off, nigger. Sup Forums has always been, and always will be shit. Things may be less vulgar, harsh or whatever other term you may want to use for it but this place is still a fucking cesspit. Yes, it's toned down. Yes, many, many of the oldfags have abandoned ship. You not seeing anything disturbing is probably due to you having been here for so long you're desensitized. It's still here, just not like it used to be.

I'm in now way shape or form commenting on the quality of anons bullshit now or ever.

Im talking about the manner of anons today.

Yes desensitization is probably a huge part of it. However, you should still see a shocking thing every now and then right? Just go read through a few threads and keep an eye out on how passive anons sound today.

I guess i didn't word it right. If someone who's been here forever can get what I'm talking about, it'll all make sense. Just think about how anons used to sound before. Idk just seems like people hold back, are much more polite, and cares to really speak their mind.

Its like everyone's afraid today.

Ehh, I don't think these fucks are afraid so much as they're just not as.. loose? Rabid? as older anons used to be. Sup Forums was a place where people could come to cut loose, let out all that shit that they couldn't anywhere else and be safe doing it.

With the age of most anons dropping, which realistically we all know is happening, I'd estimate most to be around 15 or so, they don't really have that toxicity built up yet. They haven't been put through the meat grinder that is life and come out all bitter and broken yet.

Give them time, and we may see a resurgence of what you're missing.

why do you even care so much. Sup Forums is cancer. you are cancer.

stop replying to yourself

...

Spoken like a true newfag

I think a lot of the nastiest, lizard-brain stuff is moved away from here because the newfriends are indoctrinated into a zero-tolerance mindset, and the oldfags find it repulsive. Its like the musicians of the 60's looking at the glamrock of the 80's. Plus, there was more of a hivemind and they would pull raids to a common goal, whereas now its just random chaos.

being an edgy homo is not testosterone filled lol

the internet is nowhere near as free as it was in 2010 thats why cool shit doesn't happen anymore. Also the internet is more popular than it was in 2010 or even in 2006. I guess what im gettin at here is with time more normies came along as internet got more popular among the normies.

Millenials and whatever we decide to call the next generation tend to find it hard to be genuine. They never let go of their facade, because their facade is the only identity they have. You can always tell a true oldfag if they talk like a schitzo queer, because they're trying to pour their autism out of any outlet they can find. Newer gen fags don't need an outlet for autism because they don't care enough about anything to be autistic about it.

hey man can u shut up

ITT: Newfags acting like oldfags

I've noticed that as-well, the slow but subtle elimination of testosterone from society.

Look at World of Warcraft for instance. Used to be a great game, created and ran by real nerds who loved death metal, energy drinks and so forth. Now it's ran by a bunch of politically correct fucking gay faggots that love their macs and iphones. Remember games like Mortal Kombat? The old Doom games, Diablo 1&2. Man even death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, they were so raw back then. Now they're so fucking soft.

Content and media in general had this edge to it. Even Eminem back in the day. Remember how raw Eminems shit was? Sup Forums back then was kind of raw as well. But yeah It's something I've noticed on global scale as well, not just on Sup Forums dude.

The world is honestly getting pussified. But people like me and you know that in the back of our minds. The only way this could happen is with 2 things. Social media and media in general. It could just be something that happens as well when peace is pro-longed for too long of a period. Or maybe somethings going on in the spiritual realm you know?

It is eerie, pretty soon we're all going to become brainwashed, docile, politically correct non offensive, homo loving fall in line sheeple with no mind. The content around us that has no soul in it will suck the life out of you until you turn into a drone...

OP, honestly it's just because facebook flooded this board and now we have pic related. It's sad.

Op is a fag

>Newer gen fags don't need an outlet for autism because they don't care enough about anything to be autistic about it.
You must be new here. The oldfags were nasty, deranged monsters. The noobs are fucking brain dead. How many times have you seen furry threads, people mentioning "a girl in class" they don't have the balls to speak to, or people asking how to smoke their first piece of weed? If I had to go online to break my weed cherry, I'd be permanently ashamed. How can someone not know how to burn a fucking piece of weed, for fucks sake?

this is dusk these are the end times of b you fuckin faggot

Wtf does wow have to do with it? Just got back from nighthold

What is it with bullshit posts like this. What kind of brain-dead moron bothers to post this. "le op is a fag" meme seriously. It just de-rails the thread and makes you look 5 years old.

Maybe that's the point though. OP, maybe the Illuminati has hired dumbasses to shitpost all day and say stuff like "op is a fag" when people start catching on.

I've seen it on /x/ bro, whenever threads with truth in them start gaining some momentum some dumbasses end up coming into the thread and derailing it by arguing and nobody ends up posting anymore.

If youre talking about the community, yeah wows community is pretty cancer. But i still love the game.

I'm talking about content in general and used wow as an example you fucking moron.

Yeah but whats the difference, moron? Make a fuckin point.

There is no such thing as anonymity on the internet anymore.

Most people are afraid they will get caught.

Self censoring is the new politically correct.

Sup Forums is now a low quality porn board.
Welcome.

OP I think the issue stems from the fact that the Internet is no longer in its 'wild west' days. Everything is more organized behind the scenes and it's a lot easier to keep things documented. The sense of exploration is gone as everything is mapped out for newer generations. There's no need for them to go looking for weird websites made by unknown people. The companies tell everyone where to go essentially.

Even though we're still user here, it's way easy to get someone's IP and report them to the IPS or what have you. So people have a general sense of 'I need to be more cautious while I'm here'. Thus they become more toned down.

they watch everything
the law has been consistent on internet rights, and that is that you have none

I personally knew someone who got disappeared for an internet post
he was a douchebag so I don't care that much, but all it takes is one wrong anonymous post, one thing that could be interpreted as a threat, and bam, you are fucking gone as soon as they get around to you

furthermore, the truly angry do other things now, they have more interesting outlets than this honeypot shithole now, and there was more than enough porn-loving normalfags to replace them
don't ask me what's wrong with normalfags because I still don't know

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. And thus the cycle continues on and on.

In my view, old Sup Forums embodied a relatively unique aspect of group culture that allowed it to become a relative cornucopia of content (not necessarily great content, mind you), which in turn became a staging ground for the foundation of anonymous: emergent identity.

When one looks at major groups that have wide popular appeal (say, football), there's an interesting, almost paradoxical transformation of an indnividual's identity when exposed to a much larger group. Cultural diffusion is what the phenomenon is called in broadstrokes, but there's a relatively perplexing change that goes on whenever a person finds themselves attracted to a particular subculture that offers a more personal connection than one wherein someone is merely born into (like a nationality). In essence, an individual who CHOOSES to openly align themselves with a club that is, by definition, a "subculture" follows that group's various rules and is rewarded on a self-perceived basis of meritocracy. "If I post OC, I'll be a Sup Forumsrother", so to speak.

But the paradox arises when an individual determines that some element of their identity comes from their participation (and acceptance) in a group--a group which, by definition (and in this case, forced by anonymity) requires its members to eliminate their individuality. When you come to Sup Forums to be an actual participating member, you become part of a collective "anonymous", whether you really like it or not. This constant sliding scale of individual versus group isn't a dichotomy necessarily and old Sup Forums, I think, embraced this tension well. As people made OC, a sense of community formed. From this, people actively banded toward common goals (eg. Dusty, Chanology) that reaffirmed the importance of dissolving one's identity. To be clear: making OC is part of any subculture or niche site--but where old Sup Forums really SHINES and stood apart from its peers were the coordinated goals that people spontaneously rallied around. (1/2)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah I think...
I think...
it's because you're so scared that people are like this.
Maybe it's because...

maybe it's because you're the pussy faggot?

I don't care at all. Just curious really. About the general pussy fixation of younger generations nowadays. Or maybe it isn't that? That's whwt I'm asking.

The ylyl/porn/feels threads tend to take up the front page 90% of the time. What you're seeing is the collected thoughts and interests of thousands of people narrowed down to the 10-20 threads on front page.

Was using testosterone as a general synonym for edginess I guess is what I'm finding Sup Forums lacking today if I had to precisely define what Im trying to get at.

see as well

Been here since 2005. People have been posting "Sup Forums is dead" threads for the last 11+ years.

It's funny how off base you are. Sup Forums used to be more about memes and joking around, not gore you fucking redditfag.

Emergent identity as a result of subculture exclusivity, however, requires several factors to continue. Mainly, it requires either a semblance of hierarchical positions ("you work your way up the ladder by being one of us") or a completely decentralized community that rewards users in a pure meritocracy. Sup Forums has almost always followed the latter, though it experimented with tripcodes and the like to mixed results. This is great to get rid of power users--who on other sites steer the group--but comes at a cost of organization.

So what went wrong? The answer is exposure, greater accessibility to other sectors of the Internet, and (ironically) the ethos of Anonymous as being all-inclusive when, in fact, it is not. Not everyone can be a member of Sup Forums, but someone on Sup Forums can come from anywhere and any station. It's a nuance that wasn't really translated for new arrivals.

Old Sup Forums can be typified by the statement "none of us are as cruel as all of us": as an unfettered Sup Forums represents (as Lovecraft writes) "a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom" from limitations. That was the identity that drove Old Sup Forums forward.

New Sup Forums can be summarized as "a diving board in the edge of a shallow pool"--a seeming adventure from above the water, or from a distance, but a complete falsehood from the point of view of anyone who's been in the pool long enough to know that this is the kiddy section most days.

Your post is the cringiest shit I've read today. Congrats.

They've tried forcing it on us.

>You can always tell a true oldfag if they talk like a schitzo queer,
>lot of the nastiest, lizard-brain stuff is moved away from here
>. Sup Forums is cancer.
Even describing something, a post, as cancer is something I'm talking about regarding old/b/

Neo-anons use "autism" and "cuck" now. All safe words

Even that is an example of what I mean

>on't think these fucks are afraid so much as they're just not as.. loose? Rabid? as older anons used to be.
Loose. Rabbid. Nice I like it. This is exactly what I'm trying to get out you fellow oldfags. Where's the rabbidity?

The difference between old Sup Forums (~10 years back) and Sup Forums today, is that in olden times people created OC, mods were actually present on the board, everybody watched, or at least knew that anime was, and the board wasn't 90% porn and political baiting.

Edginess was never any defining feature. If anything, Sup Forums today is far more "toxic" than it was before. Kids acted like dicks to impress the oldfags, and when the oldfags left, the annoying kids remained.

I've come back after a couple years, been looking for about a week and I have to say it's pretty much the same old shit here these days.

There's no initiative to do raids or epic trolls that made Sup Forums great. OP never delivers.

Just gay shit like WWYD threads. This place needs a sage rampage.

A good read until the end. It seems you missed one crucial detail in your last analogy. The diving board, the kiddie section, the adventure promised by the waters surface is all inaccessible from the getgo. Why is that? Well, Dear user, that's because the Pool is Closed.

Combat has evolved, it no longer takes a warrior to kill, just a radio connection (to a drone for example).

This. Project Chanology ruined Sup Forums for good. It attracted kids who only wanted to offend.

I half considered using the relevant image, but figured that anyone bothering to read it would pick up the joke if they weren't new.

The Raving Rabbids took it all.

People move on and times change. Not always for the better but nothing we can do, really. It's best that we just remember the old times fondly before pulling the trigger.

OP here

31 now learned about Sup Forums through a niche mmo backin the day around 07-08 somewhere in there. Guy I played with asked me if I liked mudkipz one day and kept asking what it meant. Sup Forumstard from my senior year of high school up until a year or two after scientology raids. I almost hit someone with my car wearing a faux mask during that period. Couldn't stand the shit.

Not that I care about defending myself to an actual newfag, but I'm here bored, so might as well.

Sup Forums is dead. Ignore the idiots that say Sup Forums was never good, they weren't around in the good times. there was a certain magic to this board years ago that gradually faded and now it's almost completely gone. we strike gold once in a while, but it's so few and far between, i find myself wondering why I still come here.

I do agree though on the new generation. It seems like they are unable to question anything. any sort of authority is blindly obeyed to the point of absurdity. they're just so soft, politically-correct and neutered to the point that I don't even know what to say. I don't really agree with the Jewish mindcontrol bullshit, but there has to be estrogen in the water or something, because there's such little masculinity left.

>on't think these fucks are afraid so much as they're just not as.. loose? Rabid? as older anons used to be.
Good point. Would you agree it's a good way to get an idea of how society is by looking at the music being put out and on the top charts? Most bands do sell out and cater to those buying music. Every band in history has done this. Pandering.

I think it's a solid measurement of "testosterone" in society just by the music being put out.

Faggots, niggers, sjws, and feminism today. Ofc the metal will be softer. I think you're onto something there, user

I saved this

You don't read well do you?

'Sup Forums was never good' is just a meme. With some truth to it. What I mean is that the phrase is relative to the current 'era'(for lack of a better word) of Sup Forums that you are browsing. The phrase is bringing to attention that there is always something absolutely retarded happening despite the good stuff happening around it in smaller quantities. At one point it was the Furfags, another time the Tripfags, then the Bronies, just to name a few. There is, was, and always will be shitposter that make Sup Forums not good in some form or another.

So yes, Sup Forums had shining moments, but it was like a Firefly drowning in a sea of shit. Sup Forums was never good, but it wasn't bad either.

>Would you agree it's a good way to get an idea of how society is by looking at the music being put out and on the top charts?
This is a terrible measure. The record companies decide what kind of music is popular, not the public. Its the power of marketing.

I think people believing that everything they do and say is being plonked into a big database somewhere leads people to self censor. I think this definitely plays a part.

Newfags should've just lurked moar like they got told and Sup Forums wouldn't be in the shit hole it's in today... kids these days are fucked in the head wtf is gender fluid? I've never heard of it until I was on a mission for some oc nudes and came across a man bitch...I got the fuck outta there and it left me questioning today's society...kids really need to educate themselves instead of getting inspired by dumb as youtubers and stupid fucking "hardcore metal" bands what the fuck are their parents doing? I'd slap the gender fluid straight out my son if he ever came in and told me his name was Kelly for the day

Well said 8/10

It's because rules 1 and 2 were violated. Sup Forums is now basically a mainstream site.

It's been over taken by newfags who just post the same thread over and over and over. There are some oldies still here, was in a recent thread a few days ago discussing this.

If you want Sup Forums the way it was, you need to revolt by making this place as uncomfortable for new faces as it was before. When I first found Sup Forums I didn't post for about a year, you just had to lurk because it was like a completely different culture.

Now anyfag can post because he's allowed a safe space.

There was a mindful push to change culture of Sup Forums because shit like Anonymous and various decentralized movements (brigading) for stuff. B had to change because it was dangerous. Now that Sup Forums is pacified oldfags hate it and have no where to brigade, the sjw's are here, and it's just lame now. Sup Forums is the primary tool for cultural shift shilling on the internet as far as I can see, and by that I mean the normalization of shit that shouldn't be normal because it is detrimental to a society's potential and hinders it. Now on Sup Forums there is just nonstop shit that is here just to corrupt the minds of the youth who are only here because they are kinda fucked up already. Sup Forums is full of shills for all kinds of shit too. What I see mainly is for politics in favor of Clinton, which is disgusting. Sup Forums is just shit and this constant shilling that manipulates ppl is what made it bad, not newfags

When i think of a guy with lots of testosterone, i think Sup Forums

>sjw's on Sup Forums
Come on, it’s not that bad.

Sup Forums is much more contrarian and antagonistic than it was ever before. Ten years ago people would've voted for Trump as a joke, but no-one would've agreed with him.

But Sup Forums would have never wanted Clinton either. Neo/b/ is now full of a bunch of head-up-their-ass retards that think she is actually good. It's that or her CTR troll army is making her seem like the popular one here because mainstream dick riders will go for what's trendy.

>Inb4 trump supporter

U.s. Politics is a show and has been since jfk

Some of us are still here, we've just gone dark. Give it time and the wheel will turn again.

On Sup Forums in general, yes it is fucking sjw all over Sup Forums too

Where's the children in the washing machine thread

Old Sup Forums wouldn't have voted at all because they were busy watching anime.

This

Also, Sup Forums exactly is why Rob Paul was ever a thing.

RON PAUL Sup Forums

Old b would be aware of the dumbshit and just not care because of that knowledge

>Old b
>b
>referring to old Sup Forums as if you know

May not have been here long as you fsggot but I definitely remember all the damn Ron Paul threads

>implying Trump doesn't have shills as well. If not more.

Wew lad

Well he definitely doesn't have a whole superpac called Correct The Record whose soul purpose is to shill for Hillary on the internet and sway discourse in her favor

i think you are right about what happened but not about the reasons.

you imply people became fakers because old b failed to fucking bully their asses off the site seeing they are not meant to bere here. i say nobody could even tell the difference.

heck i've been doing the same 2 copypasta threeads every single months for the last 5 years and still often it takes fucking forever for someone to call out the faggotry.

how do you tell the difference between an avervage faggot posting content he saw in another thread and someone who was actually involved in enriching this sites quality?
unless the image filename literally starts with the timestamp for 2017, you cant.

>instead of crying about how gore isnt working anymore we should find ways of empowering the most autist parts of this site, so they shine a guiding light for the younger members as they did back in the days.

>coming to this thread
>doing political baiting

Heeellooooo

Sorry user I just get carried away. Not trying to bait or derail the thread

>being mature is considered a degenerative trait

not only are you newfag here. you are a newfag in life. grow up bitch

There is your reason.
>Anonymous

Nooope

You really want to know the answer to that question?

Same thing happens in every environment, in every subculture, in every counterculture, in every niche, in every pocket of resistance anywhere:

Once something has been pioneered, the place those pioneers explored for the first time ends up being flooded with people who establish that novel thing as a cultural status quo.

Sup Forums was always complete dogshit, but it was a place for people who were so marginalized that it was like an extremophile environment. Extremophiles live in extreme places because they're the only places that can sustain them. Boring faggots flock to extreme places because they'd like to think they're interesting enough to be a pioneer.

So you have a flood of pretentious, boring people who want to be in that environment because of a desire to belong to something "novel".
At the same time, you have an exodus of the interesting, pioneering people who defined the place to begin with, who *need* to live in a fringe culture because no other place in the world can satisfy what they want.

Pioneers define a place. Normies flood it, pretending all the while that they're just as cool as the pioneers. When there are too many normies, and when the mood of a place is too diluted by retards, the pioneers move on to other places and newer things.

lets not use the words pussies & testosterone for this. thats gender studies bullshit. its about people who are interesting, drive a community and never afraid to open their mouth.

back when WoW was less shitty my guild was run by an elderly couple, with a funky grandma calling targets in battlegrounds.
she didnt have balls. she had the thing gender study wimps falsely attribute to balls because deep down the know fucking well and good that every body can host a strong mind regardless if its got dem tiddies or not.

if you are looking for a good game, check out EvE. that game is like 10 years old aswell and its STILL run by great people because if you are a blimp in that game, you just lose everything, go cry in a corner and never touch the game again.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect
probably not the driving factor in that OP is referring to, but lets not underestimate this one

>other places and newer things
observation: you are still stuck with us here

I think it's a little of column A and a little of column B. Part of integrating into old Sup Forums involved running the gauntlet of being constantly demeaned (unless you had "quality" OC or posts) and berated. This is more of a qualitative observation, and I'm not stating that new Sup Forums is any more (or less) vicious than old Sup Forums in some respects when it comes to its treatment of new users, but nothing /quite/ like old Sup Forums was really prevalent on the Internet. Sure, you'd get criticisms on old Angelfire or DeviantArt or other sites, but Sup Forums (in my view) differed from many, though not all, sites in it explicitly had no real expressed purpose and the onus was on new members to integrate under pressure, rather than trying to accept them into the fold. This differs from sites where the commonality is something clearly identifiable and anonymity was less of a mechanism.

In this sense, I don't see it as "new Sup Forums" being full of fakers, but rather that they lack the core of what makes Sup Forums, Sup Forums in most of their experiences on the site. It's simply a shift that's occurred. What new users lack is a willingness to critically engage (as odd as that sounds) with the group and blur the lines between where "I, a user", and "we, the group" is clearly demarcated.

Of course, that comes down to a host of OTHER factors, such as self-policing and lack of true anonymity, along with other things. Though I suppose the only way to tell the difference between the "quality" of someone posting on Sup Forums isn't necessarily in the quality of the post (though OC is always welcome), but the manner whereby they engage in dialogues that build the attention of other users to something beyond mere shitposting. That's exactly how large-scale operations started in old Sup Forums: momentum toward a common goal that was brought to attention by an emergent process (like Dusty).

That, I think, is the highest quality of Sup Forums that we miss: seeing the swarm choose something, thereby giving it meaning.

I should tear the elements out of a toaster. Shove 1 up your ass and wrap the other around your little cock- then turn them on.

The normies came and then the shills followed. This is what killed Sup Forums for sure

>subliminally promoting bad values

nice try satan

Will you go back to redit?

the absolute madman

It's been subverted by shills. High powered organisations have had interest in this website for years, and it has been well documented for anybody paying attention.

It is the only reason it still exists. Nothing about this place is profitable.

People are paid to post on here and make you all into good little helpless consumers.
