4chan popularized mfw so they're the only ones that are allowed to use it? That makes absolutely perfect logical sense. Let's not use "lol" because it was made popular by Myspace/Facebook. They made it popular and therefore it's their word to use and theirs only. Right?

"lol" was already used very commonly in instant messaging programs such as AIM and yahoo in the 1990s, as well as in PC gaming communication, long before the creation of both facebook and myspace. The acronym actually had it's origins on Usenet chat rooms which began in the year 1980.

I know that wasn't the point of your post, and I do agree with your post, but I just couldn't let that one slide.

The more I know.

captioned cats were made popular by 4chan, so according to his logic you're not authorized to use that image.

I'm sorry, i forgot MFW was strictly just for 4chan. It was completely inexcusable of us to think we could use MFW since our all powerful gods 4chan also use it.



how about shut up

it's not but okay,
