Editing Something Awful (section)

== What Something Awful gave to 4chan ==
* Creative image editing for [[lulz]] generation, motivated by the weekly "Photoshop Phriday" threads.
* [[Loli]] as a distinct concept from child pornography, and a morbid fascination with CP in general; many of the CP posters from 4chan's early history were in fact SA goons who openly bragged about wanting to fuck children and got banned (possibly several times) for threatening Lowtax's moneymaker.
* Burning hatred for [[Furry|furries]]. [[Fail|Note that several of SA's most privileged contributors turned out to be diaper-wearing fursuiters.]] Such is the wonder of Something Awful.
* [[/a/|Unjustified elitism.]]
* A style of humor built on shock value, nerd [[rage]], and gratuitous profanity, intended for those bored with conventional social norms.
* Many "original" memes, including:
** <span style="color:#FF0000"><b>(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)</b></span>
** ''"Kill it with fire!"''
** "Banhammer" as a term for someone getting [[Mods|banned]]. Banhammers are Something Awful's primary source of revenue.
** [[/b/|"Random"]] humor, by way of the "secret club" board FYAD.
** Demotivational posters and image macros.
