>Chan culture, or the core of it, has always been contrarian in spirit, but it went in a thousand different directions.
indeed, it has always kept that attitude and it will maintain that spirit even if they get invaded by outsiders.

>Chans indeed evolve, even the ones with the strictest culture. Heck, even calling it "chan" would in some spots get you yelled at.
some boards don´t even like anime despite having its roots from there. Not always the contrarian and over the edge attitude appears, especially if we talk about blue boards. Compare /out/, /toy/ and /soc/ with the big ones: /v/, /pol/, /b/, /co/ or /tv/. Almost no color between them and not even /b/ is the same because that´s the most appealing board for newfags along with /pol/ in terms of attracting groups from everywhere.

>In the grand scheme of things, whether our edits should be judged as an extra layer of contrarianism or a surrender to "plebbit" I do not know or care, if there is even a single answer.

Reddit has ironically taken the fun material to their sites while 4chan has been left with no identity. Hell even Derpi and /mlp/ are not that far away, some users from there come from /mlp/ just that they don´t act like the hard guys of the playground. Same with /mu/, anons who liked the 2011-13 era have migrated to subreddits or Rateyourmusic in order to discuss new music with less shitposting around their threads.

So even if they complain, we don´t know and as you said, too many predictable answers to even bother after the initial shock.

that green eye is looking at me though. Also, I don´t know why you have a problem with the size. It happened more times before with the webm and >>2497.
