indeed just that there is a problem commonly attributed to it and it´s...

this right here. As soon as the consumer of that dark tone piece relies on certain elements, the interpretations from them can rip that concept away completely.

> Have vampires been ruined by Twilight? 
nope but anything that is touched by that franchise always get applied to that infamous concept, well deservedly so.

> Can their be a darkness that is untainted by devniart and cupcakes tier trolling. Yes, but I can understand aversion from those works. 
fair enough. The problem mostly relies that the most famous material known on the internet is written of fanfics from teenagers and a medium to expose their frustrations or that sense of feeling superior and cool from the rest. Nowadays, social media exists for expressing those emotions but I don´t want to enter into the consequences that this practice can imply to the real world. I don´t need to go further than this 

Although edginess can be executed amazingly well and boy, I sure enjoy that material to this day quite a lot.

there is one big problem at pushing those limits and it´s the fact about going into an antisocial media route along with an anti chan behavior yet ponies and the memes/shitposts that come from there are still present. That possible aversion (that stands as the golden standard for any chan) might explain the fearful ambient from the early 2018. Who has told /endpone/ to do something like this? I mean, it´s far from the first one and even /flutter/ has done that before this board. So despite the general knowledge and spirit of the imageboards, how likely is that one group of people stays in this format, inside a very little board, talking to themselves in a inner private circle? One can lurk a lot but even in the anonymity,the social spirit arises to some extent in between the shitposts.

  
> Whoever posts here, you can still have anon to you name but The personal has played a part and what fed our OC and stories and some of our discussions. It is impossible not too with so few, and it seems our old BO was a bit more familiar with that model working out than I thought with /flutter/.
how can one avoid that considering the low amount of people posting over here? As soon as one admits the given circumstances, the atypical situation of random people discussing for themselves, how much time does it require to reach that personal part onto the table? 
As you say, the content exposed and the discussions made for all these months have had driving forces and that personal side plays a huge part very often. One doesn´t consider himself a creator but the momentum behind that material is what makes this real. 

The BO simply was passed along with this personal spirit and his last post reflects the results of lurking this board for a while. If you check the posts written in late December 2017, he admitted that those personal feelings shouldn´t have sprung up on a chan.  >>/317/  >>/334/,  >>/335/ and  >>/385/. Reading these posts from him really shows how messed up this concept can be and why we had a lot of fear back in the day. 


and so, another weekend ends...
