Oh. I did say Dawson, yeah. Not wojak, but still. Aight, let me tell you a story. It's a doozy, this one. So long ago, after the vanishing of AOC (brain tumor but whatever), came the age of NSJ. You see, this NSJ character, he's a bit of a, let's say, assclown. He didn't like what the oldguards were doing with "his" board, and sought to reshape /jp/ in his image. He deleted whatever he didn't like, the mad man. In particular, he has an extreme dislike for tripfags. And he was obsessed. Whenever a tripfag dared to show up, he would delete them. It was his mission. Now these tripfags, they weren't against using reaction pics. They used it, albeit sparingly, as part of their in-jokes. Of course, NSJ, being outside of their circle, and being a turboautist to boot, didn't "get" this, and viewed them as not /jp/. He started a crusade against reaction images, Dawson, the ur-wojak included. But the tripfags, they didn't relent. In fact they kept trying to prod NSJ even further, and escalated their pic usage to anger him. It became a war. Many memes were posted, many destroyed in the abyss. Until finally, NSJ broke. More than once, he deleted entire pages of the board. The trips has won, but at a great cost, because as what we thought then were our greatest foe was vanquished, in his place rose something... Much more terrible. Karina Levinsky. The Antichrist. Even to this day I dread to utter his name. It's... Not something you're ready for, I'm afraid. Maybe when you're older.
But the moral still stands, that the lack of use of reaction image, wojak or not, was a result of this dark period and the following apocalypse. It wasn't a coincidence that both trips and reaction pics disappeared from popular nomenclature. It was a result of the rulings of a rogue janny, nothing more. And to follow that ruling is to honor a villain.
kill yourself

Someone needs to write a full novel on /jp/ history. The history is very deep and long and interesting, doesn't hearing about it make you want to read even more about the exploits of all these troubled tripfriends and their complex lives?
bepis haha
Sorry, but alas! I cannot write such a thing myself! My knowledge of key /jp/ history and culture is too lacking.
i have yet to read 'epic win for anonymous' so i can't comment on whether the precedent we have so far has been any good, but i just wanted to mention that book
ebin :D
