>>806835There was no SJW bullshit and consequently no /pol/ faggots. 4chan was for adults to act like 14 year old retards and shitpost about anime. Boards had relatively small communities, /v/ in particular was immeasurably insular; anyone remember Toxic Jester? He was a tripfag who could literally halt a thread dead just by posting in it, people basically hated him because a large enough group of people recognized him, it was amazing.
/b/ didn't have dick measuring threads, facebook creep threads, non of that faggot-fueled adolescent bullshit. /b/ was a mind numbing stream of contradictory content like no other. generally when people post about the bad old days they're talking about when the site was relatively smaller and the userbase more clearly spread out between underageb& underachievers and adult supernerds with lots of potential and zilch for motivation. I'm not an oldfag, I only started posting in 2006 or 2007, but the year or two I enjoyed 4chan before more chuckle fucks like me showed up was a real golden age.
The true oldfags were fucking incredible, so irascible, so dissatisfied with everything they could form an opinion about. they were magnificent, hateful bastards who loathed everything equally. it's hard to explain, especially because it's been so long, but only boards like /tg/ and /g/ with their permanent neckbeard aficionados really resemble what it was like.
Most of the newfags these days are just pathetic people. Too inexperienced to offer any real perspective and too sociopathic to actually feel anything positive. The alcoholic, miserable progenitors have been replaced by legions of opiate-abusing numbbrains who fill in the margins of human society and genuinely believe the retarded shit that gets posted here. Fuck em all.
