"2006 4chan humor"? saying slurs and posting pedo bears? because that's all I remember from that time
well that and this:
Peak
Moreso a means of communicating where everything is tongue in cheek and generally accepted as fake. It wasn't perfect, don't want a lot of it back, especially not the parts that eventually incubated fascists, but that's her humor, and i understand it.
She's problematic in oh so many other ways. I'm not suggesting she's a protagonist here lol
The whole "lol it's just a joke" thing has been a key tool used to normalize fascism in the US. It's a blatant tactic used by the right to normalize truly horrifying things.
And unfortunately, it has been wildly successful
Look I'm not defending much, but especially not what came after 2006. Shit went south but it wasn't the humor that caused it. /pol/ was a mistake from the start. Gave the fash an unmoderated anonymous hang out. That spread after 2006.
