8chan was never considered a reputable source. It has no reputation to destroy.
8chans biggest reputation was for jailbait porn when hotwheels ran it. Theres nothing to think about. 8chan already has a worse reputation than halfchan. You being ignorant of the history here is irrelevant. You already arent trusted because you're here. It's always been like this. Expand your understanding of the past if you want to be effective in the future.
