Yeah, but in this case ours is the poop that contained the initial strain of covid-19.

Like, 4chan gave a place for the chuds to take root and now they're had a lasting effect on society as a whole. Like, I won't go so far as some dumbass libs and say "4chan got TURMP ELECTED!!!" but, like, they helped develop the meta, so to speak.

to be double fair, poop is a pretty great achievement compared to the alternative of just stockpiling toxins in every single internal organ until the entire body shuts down.

I wouldn't really say SA developed or refined 4chan, since it came out of a purge of the worst elements of ADTRW. It started out with a similar kind of irreverent/edgy comedy tone to it but rapidly moved in a totally different direction.

That got pushed out of me a bit with one of the iterations of random imgur pics and it started throwing up child porn.

This is definitely a misconception if I ever heard one. Moot had a thread about 4chan on ADTRW for a while after all.

yeah, 4chan wasn't set up as a result of a purge, it was just a general offsite migration that was hastened by people getting probated/banned for being annoying about anime or posting anime porn in ADTRW

at the time there were two different goon P2P piracy servers, the something awful direct connect hub (SADCHUB) and raspberry heaven. SADCHUB was supposed to be for not-anime and raspberry heaven was for anime, but they were like 90% the same people logged into both. some of the earliest discussion of setting up an english language 2ch clone was on raspberry heaven. but the fact that there was an anime and not-anime split in the goon filesharing scene indicates the general conflict over anime that drove people to 4chan (also, you could post anime porn there)

I mean, I'd call pushing all the anime-tinged "free speech" types off SA and onto their own playground just by moderating them to not post bad is still a purge, but I get calling it that probably makes people think about the more deliberate ADTRW purges like the mass banning of pedophiles. "Pouty exodus" doesn't sound as exciting.

No, they managed to do it all on their own and then doubled down when warned not post that poo poo. Cue thread closures and permaban waves.

I think the latest one involved a manga with naked children wrestling in a mud pit. It was called art and compared to the works of Renaissance Masters in thread.

Yeah it involved a legendarily bleak and bloody longrunning manga called Berserk.

That banwave was quite restrained compare to the past poo poo, thankfully (?).

It wasn't Berserk, but it was being drawn by the same person who does that one. If you know anything about all the pointlessly horrible poo poo that happens in Berserk, you already know what was getting set up in the new one.
