Everyone and their mother including you have only seen the shitposting vocal minority of 4chan, most likely just /b/ and the constantly deleted posts in the /vg/ threads. There are so many existing eSports professionals who hail from those places. Haypro and Hendralisk are perfect examples. Too many people jump the gun and wet their pants when they see the word 4chan. | ||

 That being said, that chat with incontrol made mewby seem very immature in general, and made incontrol seem like a really nice and reasonable dude lol. I hope mewby's matured and/or grown less caustically cynical in the meantime. | ||

It's easy to throw around absolute statements when generalizing and it's also easy to take these statements too seriously. The idea is that 4chan is generally not a place where logic wins arguments and so people hailing from there are given less benefit of the doubt. Not that there aren't any exceptions. Mewby, on the other hand, at least if his conversation with incontrol is real, shows not just a little but a huge lack of maturity and common sense, considering he is 20 years old. Honestly, you'd have to go out on a limb for him. | ||

On the whole 4chan tends to be a terrible place but a person is entirely capable of being a decent human being and participating there. Using the representative heuristic when thinking about people might be very tempting, but being a nice, functional person as well as a participant on an imageboard aren't mutually exclusive at all That being said, that chat with incontrol made mewby seem very immature in general, and made incontrol seem like a really nice and reasonable dude lol. I hope mewby's matured and/or grown less caustically cynical in the meantime. They said that he has turned over a new leaf, but every other player that people say that about has not "turned over a new leaf," they just simply try to cover up themselves being jerks. Few players I see actually change. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually the one in control of the account to create artificial drama and then having his few fans show support for him, he does force him pretty hard. He gets banned daily on 4chan for breaking the rules and changes his IP so he can continue his shitposting crusade. Pathetic really. | ||
