To the people who didn't grow up with 4chan: do not search for this image, its pretty disgusting.
- pengaru 6y ago4chan didn't even exist yet when goatse emerged
- deathlight 6y agoIt seems plausible to me that the, ahem, "spread" of the image was greatly increased through the efforts of 4chan.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoMaybe widespread but it was already pretty wide open before there was a gap for 4chan to even exist.

- nomat 6y agoHey I'm on that website! IRC used to be so fun and weird back in the day. hanging out on slashnet took up most of my free time in junior high.
- Semaphor 6y agoBack in School, goatse was extremely well known. That was several years before 4chan. I hadn’t even heard of goatse in a 4chan relation until now.
- incompatible 6y agoI think it was popularized back in the days of Slashdot.
- tingletech 6y agoit does not date to alt.tasteless on usenet? (edit: w/r/t goatse)
- disillusioned 6y agoI was going to suggest Something Awful but you might win, though Wiki pegs it (heh) at 1999...
- walrus01 6y agogoatse signifiantly pre-dates 4chan
- ArchOversight 6y agoIt's interesting that you equate goatse with 4chan! I'm old :-(
- eyelidlessness 6y agoTo the people who grew up before 4chan, pls don’t mention tubgirl
- rootw0rm 6y agolmao
- eyelidlessness 6y agoI missed the edit window and I’m disappointed in myself for mentioning it by name. Please just don’t Google this unless you’re prepared for an upsetting image, and even then maybe just skip it. You’re probably not as prepared as you think.

- Rompect 6y agoI was born after 4chan was created and I found that image on reddit. It's pretty mild; one can tell quickly that it is a doll.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoNot having eyelids would certainly make it worse!
- xwdv 6y agowhat is it?
- eyelidlessness 6y agoBig stretched open butthole. Not sure if you need the warning but I’m commenting in case anyone would prefer not to see it despite their curiosity. Sorry to ruin the fun y’all but there’s images I won’t even mention that I can’t unsee and make me feel seriously ill when I do see them. I don’t want anyone else to feel that way without warning.
- xwdv 6y agoWhat are these images called so we know to avoid them?
- jml7c5 6y agoCan't speak to the images themselves, but the sites are usually referred to as "shock sites": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_site
- shagie 6y agoThey were known as a "shock site" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_site ) The Wikipedia page for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx is text only and without any ascii art. I'm amused that https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx also exists.
- arp242 6y agoOh, Goatse is that site. I remember when I was about 15, before pop-up blockers were really a thing, someone sent me a link to that and it would keep opening popups with that image and you couldn't close all of them :-/ Sometimes people look back to the internet of the 90s with too rose-coloured glasses IMO.
- isatty 6y agoFairly sure you’d get goatse’d more often on Efnet etc back in the day
