"It isn’t really offensive, it’s just 4chanish" - those things go hand-in-hand...a lot.
A bit of real world experience might highlight what is really offensive and garish and gruesome in the world from the masochistic pleasure of 4chan's "shocking" rhetoric.
The term waifu is way bigger than 4chan.
That’s why I said 4chanish.
Fair enough. Worth mentioning it's from a time when 4chan had a completely different userbase (number of users on 4chan doubled during gamergate alone).
