The planned trolling tactic of the Tumblr group, "SPAM /B/ WITH KITTENS", seems... flawed. Are they not aware of the origins of lolcats?

4chan will fire back with cat gore.

Won't someone please think of the kittens?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is this high school? Yes. Though Tumblr and 4chan both have older users, the ones that participate in this kind of thing "seriously" are generally of that cliquish high school mindset and narrow worldview characteristic of but not limited to teenagers. Ironically, it's that same earnestness that provokes raids like this. Why would you destroy your time, resources, and sense of humanity for this childish crap? Lulz. S…

One of the guys in my D&D group is of this mentality. I hope he matures soon.

Going to be fun for the neutrals. I neither use Tumblr or 4chan. Let them cancel out each other. :-) 4chan can just block registration of new users on 15th to avoid this.

Uh, what? The whole point of 4chan is that you're anonymous, no registration needed.

Ha, how ignorant I was? Thanks for enlightening. As I mentioned before, I have never been to 4chan.
