4chan

Move over Big Tiddy Goth GF and Mommy GF - the freaks of the internet are clamoring for a new breed of partner: the Tomboy GF. Unlike the  dark-clad and maternal girlfriend options, tomboy girlfriends have all the qualities dudes like about themselves and their friends (along with female anatomy). Memes idealizing a Tomboy GF (often featuring anime characters) started popping up earlier in 2020, and while they may have gotten lost in the shuffle of coronavirus and anti-racism protests, there are quite a few to scroll through. We think the sudden boom is partially due to the recent 'Femboy Hooters' meme, as people on Twitter started stacking the imaginary establishment against 'Tomboy Outback.' We'd be happy to dine at either, but really we're just here for the memes. 

When we think of wholesome, happy-tears internet, 4chan is usually the last website on our mind. The image-based messageboard is a hotbed of web savagery at its most despicable - 99% of the time. The subreddit r/Wholesome4chan sheds light on the brighter, sappier side of the inflammatory site. We hope you've got tissues on hand.

Does this feel too out of character? Here's a gallery of cursed images like you'd expect to find on 4chan on a regular day. But if you're suddenly in the mood for more heartwarming content try these wholesome memes and give in to the feels.

The James Bond film Casino Royale is back in a big way - on 4chan. Since late April of this year, users have been playing with memes and jokes that imagine Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre playing kids games instead of poker. The photoshops are brilliant. Le Chiffre's intensity and attitude applied to a game of Uno or Bop It is meme gold. The jokes the users are writing are almost better. That Le Chiffre snideness is impossibly funny when applied to Yahtzee or Go Fish. For more gold, visit the thread yourself.

And this is still the lighter side of 4chan.
