    Remember that the front page of reddit had jailbait and coontown posts hitting the top regularly. After that it was fatpeoplehate.

    People were just as deranged back in the day it just manifested more aggressively.

    In the cod4 days id regularly scream slurs at people and tell them to kill themselves. It was just what you did.

        The terms are used to convey a group that would buy shit. They are not anthropology terms. They are marketing terminology used to sell you shit. I'm sure today's students like to use them in their anthropology papers though

            Being started by a millennial means nothing to the discussion.

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

            Were millennials the users who popularized it?

            Yes.

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

                    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.

                        Calling out Millennials for Fascism when Gen Z helped elect Trump 2.0 is just fucking rich.

                              Na, but Millenials used it in their (pre-)teens seeing some fucked-up shit (and strangely most of us are still fine)

                                  I think it is so funny that people seem to forget that Gen X set the stage for internet culture when most millennials were teens and preteens.

                                  Absolutely love that millennials are once again taking all the blame for actions that the whiny generation also partook in and indeed cultivated with glee before behavioral regulations online became a thing. When that happened, millennials were also being blamed for being too soft.

                                    It goes way further back than that: https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/controlling-the-virtual-world/history/rape.html

                                    I used to frequent LambdaMOO. Things weren't all that different back then than they are now.

                                      You're forgetting a lot of the original imageboards (eg. Blueboard) and calling them "hate and revenge porn subreddits" is a gross oversimplification...... eg. r/jailbait is NOT a simple revenge porn subreddit! It was a straight up you know what subreddit! It's a shame to see Redditors defend Michael Brutsch (u/violentacrez A.K.A VA A.K.A "Pimp of Reddit") as a "troll" even till this day! Apart from this, there were also a lot of disturbing subreddits during the mid '10s like r/beatingtrannies, r/beatingcripples, r/strugglefuck, r/askarapist to name the few.
