Hurt Feelings |
The battle of /q/ was a conflict that took place on 4chan's whining board. The shitposting began when a sudden number of legitimate users started to voice their concerns about the large amounts of racism and Anti-semitism present on the Politically Incorrect board, attempting to convince 4chan's Administrator that the best solution would be to remove it, resulting in a large orgy of flame wars and asspain between the shills and many of 4chan's users and mods. This would later inspire Moot to create /s4s/ - Shit 4chan says in mockery of reddit's /r/ShitRedditsays subreddit.
Once /pol/iticians caught wind of the news that shills on /q/ where attempting to get their Bastion of Free Speech deleted, they quickly responded. Soon /q/ became nothing but a place of Social Justice Warriors, shilling for the removal of /pol/ and tighter restrictions against hurting one's feelings, under the false impression that mods or Moot where going to listen to any of their demands. Hundred of posts demanding that /pol/ be deleted later, Moot grew annoyed and banned many of the shills, later deciding to delete /q/ instead.
These events essentially justified /pol/'s belief to a few other boards that they where indeed constantly being shilled by Shit Reddit Says and the Jewish Internet Defense Force.
