4chan Deep Dive [Vol. 8]

[@DebunkFile]

It’s already come to my attention that the “James Jones” channel has been found. I honestly have no idea how I missed it, but here is the video. Thank you to those that helped me realize this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYaqdYepnt-Dd7c

The battle station segment can also be linked to a youtube channel called Doodman2. He genuinely didn't seem like he did anything sexual with the dolls and stopped selling them because people kept buying them for that purpose

I think Mutahar covered the doll maker in one of his videos. IIRC Although they look creepy the background story is kinda wholesome: as the husband would travel a lot for work he and his wife would make dolls to keep him company during his time away from home. They even put up a site to showcase their dolls and take orders but I think it's defunct now.

[@overtlybiased]

That being said, you can't convince me he didn't fuck the dolls

Non-artists will never understand. I don't get how it's creepy. Clowns I understand as being creepy. But, a dude with companion dolls? People really must hate seeing people find happiness wherever they are and not hurting anyone. The fact they go directly for shaming rather than being happy someone created their own happiness says how poison society is. Assholes...

I want to speak about the saga of fridge bro. I grew up with my mother for the first fourteen years of my life, she was a hoarder. Not just a hoarder of stuff and things, a trash hoarder. Dishes would never get done, old food would never get thrown away, cooked food with stay on the countertop and stove and in the microwave or on the floor. It would even in and under her bed, in the bathtub... everywhere. She was diagnosed manic depressive, bipolar and in the midst of all this sustained a severe back injury that left her paralyzed with pain for about four years until she had surgery, during which time she became a raging drug addict.. all this to say it was normal to us. Animal feces covered the floor and expired cans of food littered the pantry. Clothes never got washed and nothing was ever cleaned. Also add in the fact that she was a hoarder and constantly brought home animals, things she found on the side of the road, everything from a hat to a huge piece of furniture. None of it ever got user or reused or recycled, it just wound up somewhere in the house and eventually got covered in trash. She collected everything from twist ties and bread ties to taxidermied animals and pewter statues. My brother and I didn't know any other way of living until we were taken out of her home.

[@Miumiu0404]

They should've also charged fridgebro with animal cruelty for keeping a pet under that living condition. 😒

[@obviouslyurnotagolfer148]

Fridgebro, well obviously he suffers from some sort of depression. I've seen that type in many different levels of depression/filth because of the line of work a good friend of mine is in. That type of existence usually goes along with months without bathing and congestive lung problems. Usually there is a spot in the living quarters that is semi clean to either sit or sleep on but 98% of the place is caustic.

>The strangler thread. 2014, after Moot sold the site to some data farmer. I stopped using it during 2012 but I can tell you this is tame compared to the pre-2008 threads. Getting your thread bombed with gore or "pizza" resulting in the whole thread getting deleted was a common occurrence on /b/. As were the bait threads where OP would say "Post CP" and a pic of Cheese Pizza then everyone else would post literally anything that could be abbreviated into CP; Chris Pratt, Computer Parts, etc until either the reply limit was met or someone was stupid enough to actually post something horrid which would get the thread deleted. >The battlestations thread. I remember being in that thread. That guy made the thread much MUCH funnier then it otherwise would have been. >Fridgebro. I have never heard of this tale before and thought it was going to be another one of those "What do I keep in my freezer?" guys. I miss old 4chan. pre-2012 4chan.

[@Praetorian8814]

Even sadder about Fridgebro, with an arrest for leaving his rented house the way it was, it's unlikely he'll ever be able to rent anywhere again. Most respectable rental agencies do background checks on their tenants and charges application fees. So unless he finds a private renter or inherites a family home, maybe, I think Fridgebro is now Homelessbro

[@cryamistellimek9184]

Living homeless is infinitely healthier than what he was in.

[@lurksnitchtongue8986]

Good, he shouldnt be destroying rentals like that. Chances are he was renting from some dude who worked his butt off to get that house to make some passive income and now he's in a massive financial hole through no fault of his own.

[@TheRealSpiderMew]

There are a lot of creepy weirdos doing a lot of differnt kinds of drugs and natural psyoctropics in the woods, i only know this because my dad became one of them, some go out to cook meth, some go out to grow plants, some like my dad collected cane toads to farm their puss for smoking. Horn man could have been a dude like my dad who drugged him and tried to kill him. My dad last i saw him was 6'6 and while gangly and thin, was strong enough to fight 6 people on his own drunk, while on coke or speed he was as close to a super solder as you could get in reality in terms of ability. A strong drugged up man could hurt another man that way, and would be wearing weird shit to look like another beast in the woods or a monster.

Randy Stair was active on Tumblr and KZbin before his shooting. Elliot Rodger uploaded his stuff to this place as well. 4chan has always had the cp problem. Disassociating himself from 8ch while taking highlights from the place responsible for its creation, when 4chan is guilty of all crimes laid at the feet of 8ch and more, is a weak move.
