#4CHAN

4chan is one of the most controversial platforms on the internet, where anonymity and dark humor create a unique environment. Since its inception in 2003 in America, the site has been an anonymous forum for image sharing and discussion of various topics, from games to politics, from news to manga and anime.
What made 4chan so unique? First, anonymity. Registration is not required to use the site - just internet access. Second, at the time of its creation, 4chan was a blank canvas without rules or control. This attracted users with different views, including far-rightists, racists, and fans of black humor, who soon became known as trolls. Third, threads are discussions created by users on the forum. Each thread starts with one message (usually an image and/or text) and can contain many replies. 4chan wouldn't be itself without the cohesion and fanaticism of the entire community. Forum users always found strange ways to troll everyone.
The platform has spawned a huge number of memes that are actively used to this day.
Threads on 4chan are often divided into passive and aggressive. As an example, the famous /r9k/ and /pol/ can be mentioned. While /r9k/ gathered a geeky and relatively calm part of the community, discussing news and pop culture, /pol/ was completely different.
In summary, 4chan is a space where people openly talk about their 'skeletons in the closet'. The complete freedom of speech leads to discussions of amoral topics and the creation of both funny and dark memes. The forum has become a unique place where anarchy has turned into order, allowing for the coexistence of various opinions.
4chan is not a place. 4chan is the people who started all of today's pop culture. Without the forum, the internet as we know it today would not exist.
