Will history remember Veeky Forums?

Will history remember Veeky Forums?

I think in the future, we'll have books discussing how such sites as Tumblr, Reddit and Veeky Forums spawned then contemporary ideologies.

Of course. Within a few years the media will start having to cater to people who actually know what these websites are, and then things will be much clearer, and that's how it will be written. It's painful for the moment, though, reading articles about campus politics / trump / sanders that don't name the relevant websites.

>Veeky Forums
I don't even want to know

Personally I can't wait for the deification of moot

Veeky Forums's contrarian culture helped spawn the alt right as a result of the need to form a counter culture to the rise of SJWs

This post is a primary source, btw

I heard a rumor that complexity scientists from Santa Fe were studying the workings of this Moroccan image board.

History will view the popularization of the internet in general as a notable event, Veeky Forums will be seen as part of a flourishing of creativity before authorities started to regulate it.

Tell me more

Nah. Only for the specially interested types, the internet is growing larger and it's already confusing as it is. While some cultural movements and changes spring out from here the more notable websites takes them over and popularizes them to high heavens.

If DT becomes president, Veeky Forums will become a serious political threat to the ruling class.

If DT becomes president, Veeky Forums contrarians will switch to promoting moderate midcentury American liberalism.

I would sorta claim the opposite. If the movement behind Donald Trump, which ain't only Veeky Forums of course, doesn't get the president they want, it will only grow bigger and angrier.

This.

If the history of the internet is ever studied (which it probably will be) Veeky Forums will definitely be in there, it might even have a whole chapter dedicated to it.

Anthropologists are already studying Veeky Forums.

W-will they study the archives?

Will they see this post?

This.

Veeky Forums probably would've been mentioned in the history of the internet anyways but it's recent affect on politics will definitely be in other historical studies.

I am not confident that the alt right from Veeky Forums plays that big of importance to the rise of Trump.

The anonymous movement started on /b/, and that movement is at least large enough and disruptive enough to be mentioned, and so Veeky Forums will be mentioned

/r/the_donald - where he did his AMA - right now

Also the 'god emperor' meme, the make anime great again meme, etc all seem like they're from Veeky Forums but definitely spreading out.

This, basically. Same applies to Gamergate. Other than that, Veeky Forums has been too much of a shithole for normal people to be worth mentioning. In their eyes, at least.

But I doubt that most of the older voters in favour of Trump are on r/thedonald or /pol/.

Not as much as reddit. Reddit has the bigger aggregate base and cultural force behind it in my opinion.

Yeah it'll remember it as /pol/ being the most significant political force in human existence that ended the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of empires.
It'll remember Veeky Forums as that gay faggot board filled with leftist marxist scum

Don't forget that the explosion of meme culture started at Veeky Forums. Sure, memes were a thing before, but the widespread use of them really first culminated here.
You can't study the history of internet culture without reading about ancient Veeky Forums memes.

The alt-right has always idealized the 1950's, with splashes of liberalism and libertarianism.

This is nothing new.

It's not contrarianism, it's an ideology.

The cultural force behind it is desperate clickbait mills though. When web advertising finally collapses, reddit will be gone in a flash and leave little behind.

>that don't name the relevant websites.
You mean reddit?
Because lol this site is really just a tiny fragment compared to reddit

But will anyone remember /z/?

That's true but in terms of historical studies, a forum catalyzing a political presidency is big shit.

This. It seems that everything that spawns from here gets picked up by the larger sites. Thus we will never get any credit.

>if a member of the ruling class becomes president the website that helped make him president will become threatening to the ruling class

If DT becomes president, Veeky Forums has a serious chance of not existing.

b-but he tells it like it is

welp
guys i want my chinese cartoon porn to continue being distributed on the us

>For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago.

sage, reported

How much you wanna bet this won't be enforced?

hard to know since DT is already preparing his loser speech

Or is he?

Really made me think

regardless that pic sure is funny.

this

>A thousand years ago, men of Forchan gathered in regular intervals to hear of the retelling of a cryptic struggle between good and evil in a ceremony called "Baneposting."
>In this ceremony, the "Poster" narrates the Bane myth in epic verse, in which Bane, popularly depicted as a masked figure, thwarts the plans of Si'ayey, who felt in control of the struggle.

>To this day, net-archaeologists are still baffled at a particular part of the myth, in which Si'ayey asks Bane if whether pulling his mask off will cause his death. Bane then replies that it would be the cause of great pain, but Si'ayey retorts that Bane was of large personage, causing the cryptic retort of "For thee."
>Professor Ismail Goldberg postulates that Bane was referring to the great pain he would cause to any who would attempt to remove his mask.
>However, Dr. Sanjay Lee disagrees with this, saying that Bane meant to convey that his vastness seems only big to Si'ayey.
>It is still not known what exactly Bane is. Some professionals in the field of net-archaeology postulates that he was an ancient diety personifying evil, while others see Bane as literally, the notion of a baneful doom that Si'ayey is trying to contain.

How will the Cult of Forchan in the far future reconcile with their abandonment by their creator god and subsequent coming of a foreign successor?

>And God looked upon his creation and saw that it was terrible

Yes, as a social experiment that demonstrates the behavior of humans when they have access to an opinion with complete freedom and anonimity

Would Evangelion be in the Cult of Forchan's version of Genesis

It already has for better or worse Veeky Forums created and continues the alt right movement and continues to be a hub of internet culture

Most people don't know that. I have more than one person tell me that read it is where means were born. Already the revisionist history has begun.
