The absolute fucking madman
>>35120128
Does shit like this honestly qualify you for a master's degree in the US? It is literally one hundred pages with awful formatting and spelling errors of a guy rambling about /fit/ memes. What the fuck.

It's official. If it's cited in a master thesis, this is the agreed manlet height
"I wish to thank my parents for helping fund my education and for
encouraging me in my work despite not fully understanding what I do. I also
wish to thank my all of my professors who mentored me during my time at

Read the whole thing. Some insightful info on board culture. A few typos, but otherwise pretty good read.
I'm actually pretty convinced that studying 4chan as a culture might be worthwile after reading this paper. GJ Jesse.
>tfw /fit/ part of mainstream
>im not special anymore
>Manlet A male 5”10 and under
There it is guys, official manlet cutoff
And a surprisingly well done paper. I mean it does seem a bit all over the place but then again, it's a scientific paper on 4chan. All bets are off.

you guys might think this is funny but it painfully highlights the decay of academic standards in the us. idiotic topic aside the thing reads like a B-grade high school report. sentence construction is abysmal, grammatical errors are everywhere... oh god that formatting. how in the world did this steaming pile of garbage get passed by the examiners.
somebody please tell me this is an incredibly elaborate troll

>Scooby also interacts with the board through his videos. In his Le Cookies Are Ready video, Scooby directly mocks Jeff Sied, who is reviled by /fit/ for having an awful and nonexistent personality, and indirectly mocks Reddit, by using the le article (See Figure 23) (le).
that reddit provided and strong sense of community I remembered from /b/.

I'll try to find it, but this paper was likely inspired by an older dissertation that someone did. He even uses the same vernacular.
The other was less focused on the trend of changes, but rather why culture here evolves so rapidly relative to anywhere else
Holy shot someone actually wrote a thesis on /fit/ and it's accurate
>>35120803
But we live in a meme world now anon
>>35120128
Op, I want to thank you so much for posting the link to this thesis here. I read just like 25% of the thesis and I am still laughing at the accuracy and feeling for the old times. godspeed.
I can't wait to start quoting this as if it has some weight.
Stop bitching about feels threads, anon. "The frequency, high participation, and acknowledgment by community moderators of feels threads to /fit/ suggests that they are part of the board’s identity." (Shedd 2015, p42)
Who got out of Tech here? May 2014 with my BS in BME here.
>>35120128
God, this is written and edited horribly.
"there are several other people who /fit/ mentions, including former Mr. California,
Rich Penia, and Mr. Olympia competitor Jeff Sied"
WHATS HIS FUCKING NAME?
top kek

There was a thread like two days ago where he replied to someone about his videos. Something about how to get rich. Anyway I asked him if I can sew roller skates to my back instead of use a skateboard (because they cost a lot of money) but he never replied.

The definition of manlet changes each year since people are getting taller.
A manlet is generally a male in the developed world, who is between 18-35 years and is shorter than the average height of his peers of comparable social class, race and recent or distant immigrant status.

Underrated lel
Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is by no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favour and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?

You should stop using a trip code, anon. "By default 4chan users post under the name anonymous,... which is a unique identifier and name for the user. Anonymity is a high held value of the 4chan community in addition to being a design feature." (Shedd 2015, p6) So please learn to 4chan and dont use tripcodes if its of no value to the thread.
