The evolution of Anonymous and internet culture

[L.A.P.]

What do you think about Anonymous now slowly becoming somewhat of a political group? I looked at /b/ and it doesnt seem to be as bad as it used to be, I was able to actually look at the board discussions and not lose all faith in humanity. Sure it's still an internet equivalent of an obnoxious upper middle class boy's locker room. You still have the sexism, racism, and overall stupidity, but at least their sentences consist of more coherence than "FAGZ!LOL", "Show tits or GTFO", and "Wake up in the mornin' feelng like this nigger". It seems to be almost as tolerable as a normal forum or at least YouTube comments. Just typing some thoughts while high, what do you think?

No.

/b/ was never good.

[L.A.P.]

/b/ was never good.

I never said it was.

Even with anon turning into some pseudo-political group /b/ will still be the centre of the internet (for moronic spoiled children) I don't see any change in the near or for even that matter distant future looking at /b/'s past trends.
The more anon distances themselves from /b/ the better.

one more time, with a feeling:
"Anon is not a group
Anon is not a specific collection of users
Anon is not even a proper ideology
Anon is a meme, and a stupid meme at that
The Guy Fawkes mask is 'revolution' as a joke
This conversation is silly, let's not have it anymore."

/b/'s racism, sexism, and even child porno back in the day was for shock value only, it never was serious.

The transformation of Anonymous from e-bully collective to a politicised e-collective is insignificant, imo. Anonymous will never achieve anything. ("hacking" gov't websites does not result in anything except improved security of said websites).

[Comrade Samuel]

Hope they never make an impact on anything, bastards took my psn for like a month XD. I'm not even sure what's Really them and what's not there are so many idiots claiming to be anonymous. it really is impossible to tell anymore. Besides it's stupid to think this organization could ever get any support after all the incidents of hacking major cooperations and making the people angry rather than getting back at the owners.

Here's what I wrote about Anonymous a little while ago:

Is you're idea of a political party a bunch of basement dwelling porn addicts who put sharpies up their bums and take pictures of it? :confused:
