“what if we made 8chan a place where heads of state hung out”
I worked on a study about online nonconsensual image sharing.
We were shocked by how many women found their images on 8chan forums where men posted challenges to each other like, “Find her workplace and get her fired,” or, “Get a nude photo of one of your girlfriend’s friends.”

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years.
It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

The Cornell victim has been doxxed on X. So worried for her. I hate this planet.

I think it’s fairly mainstream now. Back then, 4chan and 8chan were the more worrying sites, but he didn’t seem so interested in them.

Die #Pipeline ist doch von der Meme-Radikalisierung auf 4Chan, 8Chan, X, Telegram usw. wohlbekannt:
Angebliche Ironie -> Postironie -> Ernst
Die "Kultur" der gewollten Grausamkeit, des Sadismus gegen feindmarkierte Menschengruppen ist die Folge (ein Merkmal des Faschismus bei Umberto Eco).

Bei einigen Comedians mit der Zielgruppe Rechtsaußen habe ich das Gefühl, ihre krassen Takes sind längst nicht mehr „Satire“ & absichtlich überspitzt. Die sind selbst seit geraumer Zeit rechts abgebogen & denken das wirklich. Und bei den Zuschauern lacht auch keiner mehr. Die applaudieren.

a 30-something kid told me in vc the other day that everything wrong with canada is because of the way women vote and then gave an extremely racist rant

Vance's superpower is effortless smarm. He can damn near seamlessly code-switch between his Yale voice and his 8chan voice depending on the audience. Flattering his way into the good graces of the moneyed power elite is part of the same skill set.

Why did 8chan split from 4chan again? What did 8chan provide that 4chan stopped providing. Why might someone have been keen to switch from one to the other.
