I think this was one of the biggest failings of parents in the 90s and 2000s - the internet was so new that they were scared of all the wrong things and didn’t know how to properly protect their kids online.
I’m eternally grateful I never saw some pretty horrific shit online. The worst I saw was porn and some of those jumps are videos and clips from horror movies.
Edit: I should clarify that to some extent I don’t even necessarily blame the parents. How were they supposed to know? Most of them just used the thing for work or to file taxes or look up the news. They weren’t looking in those dark corners or really even aware they existed until they saw their kids looking at it.
LemonParty isn’t one I’ve ever seen but goddamn is it funny as a concept. I’ve actually never heard of “tubgirl”. I’m picturing “2 Girls 1 Cup” in a bathtub and I am NOT here for it lol

I dodged goatse and lemonparty. Got hit with tubgirl once though.
I printed out copies of goatse and hid them all over my friend’s room 😅
I was 18 when 4chan started, the unrestricted internet was a wild time as a teenager

Yeah, you’re not too far off. Not gonna describe it in detail though.
Thank you for your restraint lol My sanity is grateful
