Though I've never been an active part of 4-chan culture, I was around and aware of its existence, and I enjoyed some of its lighter, funnier parts. The documentary shows how it morphed into something less innocent and does so quite convincingly, though it does take a few shortcuts that undermine its message (like the Gamergate segment without a single mention of Anita Sarkeesian).

That said, the makers seemed intelligent enough to realize this wasn't simple cause and effect, but part of a much bigger context that isn't handled by this documentary. That sentiment saved it for me and created the space to enjoy the parts it did cover. An interesting watch, though quite traditional in setup.
