Funny. The moral compass of most people on the internet tends to be disordered enough to make me think Something Awful must have been truly horrific.

For far too many people "I have a moral compass" seems to mean "I don't even have the self-awareness to realize what I'm doing is evil".

So did 4chan, god help you if you abused a cat

You seem to be confusing 4chan (chaotic good) with kiwifarms aka the farms, the true evil descendant of Something Awful (which was chaotic neutral).
