    “Shoop da woop” was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole “newfag”, “oldfag” etc thing has been going on since forever.

      Are those supposed to be far right slogans or something? This was normal stuff at the time.

        “Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

        My dad used to be on 4Chan all the time in the 2000s, he told me being called a fag was considered a form of endearment, not an insult. I’ve never heard newfag or oldfag be used by the far right, they typically go for actual insults instead.

          There was definately a tone shift when the site was bought. People were usually mocked if they were actually right wing over there.
