>>293823Here's why it's the ascendant form of 4chan right now.
It has the international discussion and shitpost culture of /int/ without as much of the retarded stormfag /pol/ bullshit that takes itself waaaaay too seriously
it's got the freedom of /b/ (if not the same flavor of oldnet raid culture) but none of the godawful spam and cyclical threads. it moves at a more manageable pace.
So when you combine the edgy political memeing and chaotic hilarious retardation of /int/ and /b/, you get /bant/.
It's pretty much the most 4chan board in 4chan history.
Truly the best call I've seen from the site administration in a long, long time.
