I was doing a bit of research on these guys who call themselves anonymous (or 4chan). My only prior knowledge was that they were trolls and hackers, but i looked up reports and things these guys did to people. it was awful. Why would they want to do this? I still cant find their intents.
but... for some reason... i find it kind of cool. dont get me wrong, i absolutely hate what they're doing, but i have a weak spot for hackers. and im the kind of girl who can have crushes on robots XD so when i saw warning videos with a picture of a neat, standing suit and a Microsoft Sam voice, something inside me clicked... it was mostly fear and disgust... but the excitement came from... well... like they were trying to get you on their side. the feel of the totalitarianism in their videos just made me so excited... but they're monsters... i dont know if this makes me a bad person... boy, what a discovery...
"We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget."
...why do I find this so awesome...?

to be true for them.
I only join in on the website takedowns and stuff. There's rarely more than 3 or 4 people in an event who will call someone's house, for example.
also you should know that anonymous isnt always the bad guys.
they've stobbed animal and child abuse, caught a child molester, collaborated with the FBI on several investigations, but their greatest achievement is the campaign against Scientology.
nothing better than protesting the conduct of a cult and lobbying for the government to repeal their tax exempt status.
but most of the time the media, especially fox news and chris hansen make them out to be the bad guys even when they are doing things right.
calling them "hackers on steroids" and things like that
its to bad that the media portrays them so poorly.
They have no intents, when considering anon as a whole. Zooming in on one piece of the puzzle can reveal interests from the noble to the self-serving, but for the most part the hivemind acts quite capriciously, shifting it's actions to represent the majority desires of it's members. It's a democracy, in a quirky sort of way.
And I go on 4Chan a good bit, I really just lurk though when it comes to /b/. xD 4Chan is a site, not entirely populated by Anon. There's boards for cooking, sports, video games, cute pictures, hentai (they have a yuri board, my favorite! x3) and whatnot, while /b/ board is considered the official home of anon. One could say it's where things all started, but anonymous has many other homes in the shadier spots of the 'net.
They troll and hack, but as has been mentioned above, they've done many good things too. Sure, they mostly do evil, nasty things, but at least they have some nice stuff to show. xD
And I don't think your feelings make you a bad person at all.. how could feelings make someone bad? I've got some weird crushes, god knows I'm ashamed of em and I'd never tell a soul, but they're there and there isn't much I can do to change them. Don't sweat it, it's just one of the cool things that makes you who you are. ^.^
Except when newfags wear it, lol. Then they're trying too hard xD. Newfag is an expression for the "nouveau anonymous", kinda like the people who come in on the spot just to feel cool or twist the hivemind to their own wants and needs. Usually they have zero knowledge of memes (or very poor knowledge!) but still try to overuse them, they plus think that telling all their RL friends that they're anon will get them street cred. Kinda like "LOOK AT ME I'M ANONYMOUS, LOL". They have no real desire other than to feel cool, thinking they belong. There's a buttload of newfags in my robotics class, they think wearing 4Chan shirts and spouting memes makes them special. I just scream "LURK MORE" and then walk away when they get annoying. ROFL
The key to not becoming a newfag is to lurk and lurk and lurk some more. Basically, that just means do your research. View /b/ threads without participating, browse ED, do all that kind of stuff for months and months and you're guaranteed to not be a newfag :D
I don't even consider myself an anon, even though I lurk like hell and even post sometimes, just because to me anon seems like a confusing, capricious, world-hating bunch of angry geeks. I mean, sure they do cool shit sometimes, but to me it just seems cruel and tempestuous. x3
lol anyway, yeah i hate people who do that for attention XD yeah im not heading down that path!
And yeah, like I saw this and wanted to punch the guy in the face: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Fi.....thernewfag.jpg
But still, what I say is that the only thing they're doing is making asses of themselves, so why should I care? lol
Anonymous can be awesome, but newfags are just constantly annoying. xD
