> 4chan is not a place where you go obsess over one particular person with aims to ruin their life.

Uh, this has happened many times. The thing is that it's more difficult to systematically document.

It's more incidental/emergent than intentional, though. And that can happen with any group that has more than a certain number of empathy-impaired people participating. (Including most groups of teenage girls.)

And there's a cultural resistance on 4chan to obsessing over one person and trying to get the group to back you up. "Not Your Personal Army."

KF are mean librarians.

4chan are just 12 year olds.

Unless that person is critiquing games from a feminist perspective.

That was so fucking weird.

I still remember watching AS's videos and being confused as to how something so bland pissed off that many people.

saying "your critiques are bad and you're a grifter" is a far cry from ruining someone's life and doing anything worse got you banned
