>I first started using /r9k/ in 2009 and it wasn't vehemently misogynistic then. In a drive to create OC many people contributed greentext stories, which often consisted of stories of awkwardness and rejection that were amusing. Later that morphed into misogyny and self-pity threads which are cancer.

I beg to differ self-pity and feels were comfy.

>As for when it really went to shit, it's hard for to demarcate a year from my memory that /r9k/ became complete garbage, but it was definitely shit by 2015. Elliot Rodgers frog memes and >tfw no gf was not the peak of /r9k/ in my opinion, the peak was around when I joined and people still called each other "gentlemen" and there were always greentext stories.


I agree Elliot posting the beta uprising poo poo pee pee and tender stories were cancer but that stuff was still funny.

IMO /r9k/ started going downhill when the e-whores showed up and Reddit showed up and started taking screenshots in 2015 and in 2016 when the discord shit showed up on the board as well as the trannies and /r9gay/ shit.

The board always had a decent amount of normals on it but the majority of the posters were lonely virgins. It was after 2016 when most of the virgin posters left and the board became mostly normal judging from my memory.
