    Thats the point, at one time it was pure chaos and it was SO racist, homophobic and sexist that it transcended it. A lot of people now are literally too young to remember the “glory” days.

    The only thing that mattered was the bantz and how funny or fucked up you could be. “Tits or GTFO” wasnt implying that women werent welcome or a lower class, it meant that it wasnt relevant to the shitposting. Canadians were called “Syrup Ni**ers” or “Leaf f*gs” regardless. It was horrifying and at the same time amazing because we all knew it was just lulz. But people took the edgelord humor and made it their personality, they took it seriously. It became a cesspit.
