| + | The 4chan thread where Tsuki announced the website received over 500 replies; but nothing lasts forever, and an anon made a new thread which, in its turn, received almost as many as the thread it continued. The new thread became the center of a rapidly raging firestorm of controversy: pro- and anti-Tsuki posters called each other "normies"<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34992666/#q34994036</ref> and otherwise insulted and mocked each other<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34992666/#q34994359</ref>. There was, however, serious debate about whether to believe or doubt Tsuki<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34992666/#q34994359</ref>. Tsuki welcomed such debate at this point, because the Project was "also an experiment on human doubt"<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34681102/#q34681985</ref>. |
