It is! Until you tell everyone that you hang out on /b/. Much like a number of people in his DOGE cabinet that were salivating at the chance to undermine the government without understanding how it functioned. Telling people that you browse /b/ is virtue signaling that you’re mentally deficient.
Basically, on an online forum like 4chan, using a username or real name instead of just going with the flow like almost everyone else.
As for why they attach f*g to literally any and every designation besides anon, it’s 4chan. Actually, many dots were connected for me as far as the disgusting nature of 4chan when I realized Epstein was very active on /pol/. He was also very active on /u/ (Yuri) but most people aren’t ready for that conversation, people really don’t like it when you imply porn is bad here.
tw: slurs I guess but from context I think that should be expected
I’m pretty sure it started with “newfags” and self-declared “oldfags” and grew from there to be a general suffix. (e.g. “consolefag here. Should I finally try PC?”)
Uh, no, more like making a post and then signing your message with a username/real name.
Edit: truth be told though, I don’t know if there was a way to actually have a ‘username’ on 4chan — someone else will have to answer that. Didn’t spend a large amount of time on the platform.
Isn’t 4chan’s main claim to fame that everybody is anonymous?

I don’t think virtue signaling is accurate here.
I think it is directly signaling that you are mentally deficient, and this has been true the entire time /b/ has existed.
True. /b/ was never good.
Elon def has namefag energy
i don’t use 4chan, what’s a namefag

so rather than get a new number every post, logging in and getting a username sort of thing?

Pretty sure it’s just a text field but yeah I was saying Elon is an egomaniac so he would sign his posts on a board that’s known for anonymity
