>>/2652/ > nigger,that should worry you. Oh wait, did I use the incorrect word for PC fags? Oh man. I can picture where this could head. It may not be much at first. I'm not sure if 4channel will do much at first, advertisers will mostly still stay away with just that. It is Virtual Youtuber where it comes together and what concerns me more. Hiro plans to market her. Easily she will become viral if she's done with even a quarter of competence. Other YTers, Reactors and all the mid level commentary/drama channels that jump onto Doctor Phil videos and the like will be interacting with her. Once she starts to gain subs she will become a corporate link in which outside pressure could be applied. It could be SWJ's and mainstream media or YT preemptive, but in this environment it'd be bound to happen. The censorship effort at first would be low level and messy, probably mostly ceremonial at first, but as long as the left has their current mentality I doubt they will be able to get away with indirectly funding /pol/. Mid term I'd say /mlp/'s fate is uncertain save some possible crappy moderation (no NSFW links at the low end to No links to sites that have NSFW content at the high end, and unofficially ban derpbooru as an example). But I don't see a high chance of Hiro's marketing push being able to truly be successful without the red boards being deleted or reined in heavily in some way. It maybe even the price to pay to get the MSM to leave them alone if things get particularly heated. As for what this does to the site's culture, I can't say. There would be a new breed of newfags that would be 12 year old Idubbbz/H3H3 edgelord fans (some might say that'd be a return to form, as the young edgelord's arguably was how things used to work before reddit and /pol/ right wing activity). If Hiro fully sells out to the most powerful degree, then there may even be a possiblity of snapchat/viner style teens or other demos. But that process would still likely take years.
