4chan was started because posters in the Something Awful anime subforum could not stop posting underage child porn which was obviously against the rules.

To stop these disgusting freaks from polluting the SA forums with their child pornography and degeneracy, Richard ‘Lowtax’ Kyanka closed the anime subforum (ATDRW aka Anime Tentacle Death Rape Whorehouse) and moot started 4chan.

So yeah, 4chans early legacy is ‘a bunch of pedophiles were mad they couldn’t share their abuse images’ which later transitioned into a love of fascism. What a great place… NOT.

P.S. Adults who like anime are fundamentally broken, it’s children’s entertainment.



this is excellent bait


Thanks, I thought I deleted the last sentence but forgot to, oops ;)

The general facts are true, my opinion of anime fans is my own


No the facts are not true, your origin history of 4chan is completely wrong. Moot was a massive weeb who wanted his own western Futaba alternative.


Both of us can be right, moot is a massive ween and I’m sure he wanted a 2ch clone in English but it didn’t happen until ATDRW was shut down in 2003. I was an SA forums member when it happened.


This has nothing to do with what you said before. If you really were a SA member at that time you would know the history.
