    i spent too much time on 4chan growing up; it’s the most in depth and fascinating and insane glimpse into the human psyche we have available. you see someone post the worst evils imaginable then people replying to that post with better and more cutting humor than anything aired on TV

      Yeah I was on there a lot in the mid 00s and stopped going on it after the scientology protests. The site basically created internet humor as we know it and I was enough of a loser at the time to be highly online. There was something very accepting about the site in a weird way, and I’m not the sort of person you’d expect would have been a b-slur.

      Met a friend’s partner recently and she said something funny in this oddly familiar way… the type of person I’d least suspect, but yup, a fellow mid 00s b-slur.
