Eh, no?

The point I'm making about 8chan is that is exclusively where Q decided to recruit members for an anti-pedophile organization. On a site which really only existed because 4chan, a site also notorious for child pornography, started coming down on stuff like that and was labeled as too restrictive.

I remember, because I was on 4chan when 8chan was created (r9k, ftw). I started following stuff on 8chan exclusively when Q started to become a thing.

It just boggles the mind how a high level military or intelligence operative would see a website like that and say, "Sure, that seems like a good place to anonymously recruit for my army of digital anti-pedophile soldiers. This is the place where I'll commence a Great Awakening. The place where the pedophiles hang out."

Not 4chan, which was basically the same thing except with less child porn. Not creating their own server which could serve the same free-speech anonymity. Nope, just use a site which did poorly everything 4chan did except the criminal part.

That just is a very weird place for Q to find attractive. There were so, so many better options for him if he had the resources he must have had. Hell, I had better resources, and I was definitely not a high level government official.

Like I said, I'm not defending Reddit's admins. As far as I know, the sub in which I have power has never had a problem with child pornography. I can't do anything about the porn subs, as I am not a moderator on any of them.

But Reddit's problems with failing to stop revenge porn, child porn, and other stuff doesn't in any way counter the problem that Q's entire origin story doesn't make sense. Not why he was on 8chan. Not why he decided that a site full of child predators would be a good place to recruit his believers. None of it. It's never made sense to me.
