“ I had wandered into Otakon much like I had later wandered into 4chan, just when it was starting.”

Only you didn't.

4chan started in 2003 not 2005.

By 2005 it was well established.

The first part of your ‘history’ reads as if you did an afternoon researching on wikipedia and then have tried to present it as your own first hand experiences.

Not the worst article by any means, butthe first half did not ring true at all and seriously though captions below the memes made me feel nasueous

“Another vintage 4chan meme from the author’s personal collection.”

REEEEEEEEEEEE indeed.
