What effect did this have on a generation of young men?

The future is now, old men

Jow Forums itself didn't do much, but it was part of a wider trend that made it easier to plug into your own, personal reality.

Its like the moment a fucking nigger got put into office is when all of this shit went downhill

>Penguin memes?
wow imagine being a bigger newfag than some middleschooler who came here in 2009

Sorry Laura, you cruel mistress. No mediocre thread will be dying today.
Bump goes in all fields.

Lmao 2009 is 10 years ago. Most ppl here are in their early twenties

Bachelorette Frog and Old Married Horse too.

No you absolute dumb fuck newfag
Started with nixon, and Reagan Clinton bush Obama they were ALL globalist Zionist PIGS who sold out the white working class of America and destroyed the fabric of everything that held this nation together.
The jobs were shipped out, the foreigners were shipped in.
The guns were taken, due process as well.
WE ARE SLAVE CATTLE

way way less of an effect than 9/11

Please. How about epic fail guy, desu desu desu and every third post being some sperg trying to get a Slowpoke c-c-combo

you go to /b/ to check out how “fucked up” it supposedly is because that’s the reputation, then you find out it’s not so bad and is mostly just porn and ylyl threads, which is really no worse than anything you would have already seen on the internet by this point. So then you hear about how Jow Forums is so bad with all the nazis and racists and shit, and you think “alright finally something fucked up”. Then you start reading threads and eventually come to realize the points they make actually make sense. And then it’s too late and you can never go back

You have to go back.

Not all, most.
Btw I'm an oldfag, I know the lingo well and have 3 years on my back

Go back to what?

LOL I was 17. Most people here have been here since ~2006. Once you're here, you're here forever. Also thanks for making me pull out my ehd.

with the cutrent state of this board anyone who was here before trump is an oldfag

Umm wot?

this but add some detours to other boards and then you end up on Jow Forums where you become a homosexual

This wasn't what killed a generation of men. It was the externalities. Gamergate, tranny media, BLM, etc. Everything pushed the innocuous, goofball kids that were already counter-culture (without realizing it) further into the rabbit hole. How did society respond? Demand they fit into the bubble, lest they be labeled outcasts, incels, NEETs and white supremacists.

>have 3 years on my back
Well congratulations.

yeah, I went /b/ -> /i/ on 888 -> /b/ and Jow Forums -> Jow Forums and Jow Forums -> Jow Forums

Jow Forums is shit now imo. Hasn't been good since zyzz and tinytrip.

Make that early thirties and you'd be right.

Well 3-years oldfag, you activated my own personal 13-years oldfaggotry trap card.
I remember when trollscience was peak memetic warfare.
When Girugamesh was the go-to quick giggle.
When meatspin and lemonparty were the go-to party tricks for your mates.
This shit predates s l o w p o k e.
It predates Robot Unicorn Attack and Giga Puddi.
Those were times before e-thottery, when our one and only queen was a retard from gaia who didn't get betabux.
There were. No. Betabux.
And Encyclopedia Dramatica had quality OC.

GOD I MISS THIS SHIT.

>ummm, ACTUALLY
there's two types of people that would do something like this: giant faggot europeans with the audacity to prove themselves with self-aggrandizing bullshit, and women

Tbh i came from Jow Forums

I sent my dad a link to lemonparty when I was a kid because I thought it would be a funny joke. He beat that autism out of me quick

I don't even remember what the first step was, I just know it wasn't /b/.. Crappy emulation forums and what not. I don't know about bad, but it was certainly unclear to me at that point how deep the rabbit hole would go.. Like in '98 or some shit?

The people who were here in 09 are the core posters here now.

They should get the fuck out. Youth is nothing to piss away on frogposting.

I mean we're here, aren't we? The effect is obvious.

nixon didn't sign the federal reserve act

amazing how now i can look at tubgirl and know that liquid is just her squirting out an enema. i was so innocent at 17

Also user, I saved this, because I never thought I could be nostalgic for something like /b/ circa 2007. Always chalked it up to, "yeah I wasted a significant portion of my childhood online" [never say Jow Forums because of current implications] But this post hit me hard. I remember all of this, how funny I thought it was [it still is], how innocent humor was back then regardless of how broadly controversial or disagreeable it was, how authentic everything seemed [like Girugamesh... Sakuracon made a video they actually thought was good that gave us that gem] Everything is so hackneyed and tryhard now. Fuck man, you got me good.

This is absolutely true. Pol is the only way to properly evaluate our hellish multicultural reality. Before pol i was always anxious and trying to be friendly with brown people i didnt understand. After pol i was angry they were even here.

Me: 2014

This just makes me all kinds of fucking depressed. I miss joking around with people. I miss being able to give, and get, shit like that. This is the only place that still exists where it can happen. That's why we're all trapped here together.

This user remembers...

I ised to visit only /b/ but all of /b/ creativity got replaced by porn threads, so I started coming to Jow Forums

kek this is exactly how I came to be here.

>17

Pretty sure I was more like 10 or 11.. Before Google was a thing, or at least popular.

4 years here, not an oldfag.
You're not an oldfag until at least 7 years.

Yeah /b/ turned to shit.

i say, old fag.....what does thou think of Jow Forums now?

did you ever dream it would be the last bastion of freedom for the world?

/b/ to /v/ to Jow Forums

>in their early 20ies
Lol you don't know how wrong you are

Lol, I remember how mad people got when every bachelor frog turned into “blast it with piss”
2009 was when I stopped caring about memes. I’d been on Jow Forums for 4 years by then.

I came here through Jow Forums

>oldfag
>3 years
Lurk moar big boy

/b/ is the portal to the hobby boards once you get tired of the low hanging fruit comedy, then eventually you find your way to Jow Forums because Jow Forums is constantly shitposting on other boards

epic fail guy had some great threads back then as well, and newfags can't triforce

Same here friend; I started lurking there before flags were added. I came to Jow Forums after cross-posters became a huge issue and people decided the best way to get revenge would be to make Jow Forums generals on Jow Forums. Thus spawning /brit/pol general

That's it?

Been there done that. It had the effect that I still browse the same fucking site a decade later I think the correct term is retarded.

Another 2006 oldfag reporting in. /b/ was actually entertaining back then, or maybe I just thought it was because I was 16. I actually left Jow Forums from 2007-2010 because the memes were shitty. I never went back to /b/ though.

This.

How many people did this ruin?
Be a Canadian. Come home and see your government give thousands to ISIS. Get taxed double carbon tax because you want to eat meat. Can't afford housing because your government sold it all to Chinese people. Want to go for a walk to think about this, trip over junkies who live on your street thanks to 'safe injection' sites. Go to work and realize you're making 50% of your wage to pay for everything that depresses you.
