Can we just talk about how extreme chanlike behaviour can literally turn around the brain of people? I saw someone, in my own family, turn into a proto-troll caveman who loves politically incorrect joke for the fact that they are politically incorrect and edgy, who will make racist/islamophobic/homophobic/xenophobic comments out loud and say "It's just a joke", and spend hours browsing 4chan's /pol*, 8chan, etc. How am I supposed to go along with that? How is it not concerning?

@angryjello The problem is that they're taking it seriously to some extent, and that is the part about "If you're offended/uncomfortable then you're a weak brainwashed snowflake and I got what I wanted" (that and nihilism). I don't think they're actually racist/etc, but it makes family dinners really uncomfortable, and I can't say anything because 1° they're a parent of mine and 2° they have a really bad temper and despite never violenting me, I've seen them break stuff before
