| My name's Dale Beran I used to make webcomics, now I write on 4chan, 8chan, and how those places spawned the alt-right AMA. Posted: 27 Aug 2019 07:38 AM PDT I just wrote a book about the history of 4chan and 8chan and how those places became epicenters for the alt-right, incels, and mass shooters. Somehow I went from creating webcomics online (I used to make one called A Lesson is Learned) to tracking online extremism, but I guess, well, so did a lot of the internet. In light of recent events, I thought it might be helpful to do an AMA on the topic and share what I learned. Feel free to AMA.
