What are some things that caught on 4chan that you never would've expected to catch on?
I find the semi-frequent usage of various emoticons rather bizarre, they were only shunned upon to various degree, but no one seems to mind anymore even with such a rampant usage, the biggest offenders being the thinking and laughing tears.
Then there are the extremely low quality images filled with banding artifacts everywhere. I'm not even sure whether they are an effect of being parsed over multiple sites or it's actually something people try to achieve on purpose, I cannot tell anymore, but I find it utmost puzzling, you're supposed to seek and post images with high quality, not low one.
I wouldn't also expect such rampant usage of abbreviations, and I'm talking specifically about the kinds of "desu, baka, tfw, kys", it's like something you'd find written in a text message over a phone.
I am also slightly puzzled by people referring to others as autists as it's some kind of supreme insult, out of all the places where I could think of calling someone autist, 4chan seems like one where it doesn't make much sense.

All of that makes sense to me. There comes an inevitable point where it is used unironically (established communication not for the sake of novelty), and calls for the pendulum to swing back. It's all part of the cycle of moving the tides of the mind.
Never thought Sachiko would be the one (1) to take on the world (Za Warudo).

Never expected people to be addicted to reality here.

Calling out ad hominems. That was actually the first fallacy I ever heard of.

"kill yourself"
The above also signifies the general degeneration/ entropy whatever in our discourse. Someone can just ask me who I'm quoting and that's now considered a good counterargument, on the same pedestal as "kill yourself."

Often times "who are you quoting" is a good question as the greentexting "arguements" oversimplify or straw man opposition points of view. This brings to light that opposition the person greentexting wishes to attack either doesn't exist or is being misrepresented.

Fairly certain that "who are you quoting" is a response used whenever someone uses ">" to quote something without actually quoting their exact words, which includes paraphrasing and greentexting. It doesn't really matter what the contents of the message self is.

The people you mentioned aren't "4chan" as much as they're a horde from social media that came in such large numbers that it overwhelmed the culture and assimilation couldn't take place.
Anyone using that such images or phrases is someone I immediately disregard every time.

I find it initial puzzling how identity politics has found it's way unto an anonymous imageboard. I imagine that it comes from some innate or unconscious desire to identify with a group and a persons correct usage of a meme is a decent marker of figuring out what kind of group they belong to.
