About

4chan Thread Derail is a MS Paint comic which parodies how threads on 4chan often deviate away from the topic originally intended by the OP. In most variants, OP begins a conversation which is quickly hijacked. The comic ends with OP bleeding out of his eyes.

Origin

The origin of this meme is /new/ (4chan’s old news board from Jan 25, 2010 to Jan 17 2011). In the original comic, OP shares an article with the rest of /new/. The thread is quickly invaded by various types of racists who quickly degenerate the thread into incomprehensible and off-topic greentexting, much to the horror of the OP.

Spread

The spread of the meme is mostly confined to 4chan, but there have been various edits on other sites like reddit.

At Last I Truly See

Another popular version of the comic uses a different facial expression and the phrase "at last I truly see". In this version, the netizens are motivated by OP's article and decide to join together to use their abilities and knowledge of the internet to better mankind. The comic ends with OP crying tears of joy. Variations of this comic follow a similar uplifting theme.
