    I don’t think millennials are responsible for 4chan. That shit was a cesspool while most of them were in elementary school.

      What? No.

      4 chan started in highschool or middle school if you’re a bit younger. Millennials used 4chan while genx invented and ran it.

          Being started by a millennial means nothing to the discussion. Were millennials the users who popularized it?

            Don’t blame me; I’m not the one who brought it up.

            Yes.

      Also pretty sure the 4chan to Nazi speedrun was a state run psyop. 4chan is by far the easiest social media to manipulate. You don’t have to pretend to have a user history.

      Definitely not, check your timeframes. I’m a millennial and was in elementary in the 90s. Didn’t really discover 4chan until college years.
