    Not invaded. The existing 4chan user-base inspired, and was targeted with, fascist propaganda starting with gamergate!

    It was literally ground zero for fascist PsyOps. Steve Bannon even considered it an inspiration, and a pivotal moment, in the creation of his fascist propaganda machine.

      Debatable, there was a influx of new users around that time with reprehensible views. I used 4Chan as it was happening.

        Yeah, I deleted a paragraph re chicken & egg scenario whether or not it started on 4chan.

        It could have very well been a targeted PsyOp by Russia/fascists from the get-go, potentially starting years before gamergate.

      But 4chan banned Gamergate posts. That’s one of the reasons why 8chan was made.
