Decoding The Memes And Language Of 4chan /vt/
Lolcats originated from imageboard website. Modern meme culture, remixing, and anonymous activism have roots in imageboards like 4chan's infamous /b/ board. An organization tasked with archiving, analyzing, and preserving the many treasures of internet folklife. Initially devoid of racist or antisemitic connotations, users transformed the character into a meme with various expressions and contexts, including racist, antisemitic, or otherwise bigoted ones. Their goal was to “speak truth to power,” which they did by spreading the meme of the guy fawkes mask from “v for vendetta,” encouraging 4chan followers to wear the masks at public.
