It's funny how know your meme has to sanitize the 4chan out of memes.
The 'how society would look without x' has been a racist trope on 4chan since way before the cited examples.

I think you are taking their point literally, its not that knowyourmeme is not crediting 4chan, its that the racism/edge is polished off presenting a more mainstream version of many memes.
Link to a message on one of the many historical archives of 4chan?
That is exactly what is being proposed.
Words, ideas, and of course whole classes of people, are tainted, untouchable if you will, and can never be redeemed.
Progressive "thought" is reinventing caste systems, just with their preferred brahmins on top.
That doesn't pass the sniff test, many other pages on knowyourmeme correctly attribute memes to 4chan.
If you were right that would be easily verifiable. Do you have an example of a post dated before 2018? Maybe you're getting tricked by the fact that 2018 was 8 years ago?
