>>16542181no, it started mid-late 5th gen, when kotaku posted that "gen /vp/" article. "casuals" flocked here to play video game designer. if you look through some of the comments in that article, there was a lot of hesitancy because of things like, "isn't 4chan a bad place?" kotaku took care of that by asking a redditor for more feed back and info on /vp/ and 4chan. isn't that funny? it's perfect because gen /vp/ wasn't even liked by most /vp/ regulars and a redditor was their only source of info on it.
