Co-existence has created a fucking monster.

For far too long Encyclopedia Dramatica has gone without proper information regarding the Anonymous collective, mainly due to the fact that, for years, such a write-up was completely unnecessary. These were the ages when Anonymous was simply the army of /b/, an anarchistic troll force with a slight touch of moralfaggotry that progressively grew stronger. Today, the masses know Anonymous as "a hacktivist collective" that, through means of packets (read: LOIC), protesting, and web defacement work to defend and preserve such ideologies as free speech, freedom of the press, etc. At the same time, news stories occasionally float up detailing 4chan campaigns to bring grief to grieving families, or send pop stars to communist nations. Any reader looking to inquire knowledge on such people, and with a solid lack of e-culture knowledge, would now be asking themselves questions that can broadly be placed under the what, who, and why categories.

To better answer these, this article has thus been rewritten so that the Jews at Know Your Meme are no longer the only entity with "credible information" regarding the elevation and accomplishment (for better or worse, depending on point of view) of Anonymous.

Who

There are many distinct flavors of anons, all of which can be found below.

The Newfag

Moar info: newfag.

The Newfag
Hangouts /b/, KYM, Cheezburger Network
Past-times Raids, Memes, Cancer

The newfag has newly discovered the presence of e-culture. They are dumbfounded by such discoveries, and thus can turn in any given direction, but for the time being are known for their abuse of meme-spam and breakings of Rules 1 and 2.

The Oldfag

Moar info: oldfag.

The Oldfag
Hangouts /v/, 420chan, 7chan
Past-times Reminiscing

The Oldfag was once a newfag, and likely either a moral or /i/ fag, but now has found more productive ways of spending their time than epic times oti. Probably hangs out on /v/, 7chan, or other forgotten imageboards discussing how cool /b/ was 2-3 (give or take) years ago.

The /i/nsurgent

Moar info: i.

/i/ is dead
The /i/nsurgent
Hangouts /i/, partyvan.info
Past-times Raids, Spam, Ordering Pizza

The /i/nsurgent has one purpose: to cause as much grief as possible. Developed from overzealous raid-newfags, they eventually picked up enough CSIII knowledge to control a botnet or preform a simple crapflood. Although /i/ is dead, the /i/nsurgent brand lives on, always willing to completely demolish random furries or youtube vloggers who stand in the way of Anon's e-domination.

The Moralfag

Moar info: moralfag.

The Moralfag
Hangouts AnonOps, Whatistheplan
Past-times Occupying, shouting memes at people, protesting

The Moralfag is the more media-friendly side of the Anonymous legion. Encouraged by self-gratifying pats on the back, the moralfag army continues to operate much like evolved-newfags, only semi-organized. For more information, refer to this image:

Assorted Channers

Moar info: chan.

The *channer
Hangouts /a/, /cg/ /mu/, all other non-notable boards
Past-times Posting

While far less notable, The *channer remains an important part of the Anonymous backbone. They are, much like Anon himself, one and many, driven without a purpose (other than fapping to hentai on a daily basis) they continuously spend day after day driving the force of the imageboard scene.

Why?

Depending on who one asks, they will get one of two answers regarding the motives of Anonymous. These being either "I did it for the lulz" or some bullshit about securing a future for generations to come free from oppressive government rule.

Because Anon has no face or name, his actions cannot truly be justified nor understood.
