Humor: 4chan /b/ random — Internet Culture
Some funny 4chan picts.
On 4chan, “everything” is a cute japanese anime girl. Note that Wikipedia in 2006 also used a cute under-age japanese anime girl as mascot, but never became official.
4chan is started by Christopher Poole, aka Moot.
4chan Mascots
Animals
- brown bear = Pedobear. A mockery of pedophile; cute cartoon as bait to lure children; mascot for pedophiles.
