    Remind me of the old 4-Chan rule.

    “Op is always f****t”

    Which isn’t an attack on gay people. It’s fine to be gay, and the original poster is ALWAYS gay. It’s the rule.

      I tell my kids this now. It’s all fun when you’re young but as you get older you’ll realize some people say these things with malice and that’s when you start to see why it’s not a great practice. Over time you see some people aren’t just joking or shit talking, they really don’t like women or lgqtb or librarians.

        That’s why I censor it now.

        Back then it was more making fun of people who called other people gay.

        “Yes we know the op is a f*g, every op is always one, so shut up about it now”

        The internet came together and decided every OP is gay, now and forever, now we can move on to the real conversations lol
