okay so... you can't post the original to 4chan. that means some people have the original saved and were trying to repost it.

1. did no one screenshot the EpicBread? Image recognition isn't really good enough to see pictures within pictures yet. I should know it's a pain every time I want to search a cropped hentai reaction.
2. if we have screenshots of the thread at all, even if we can't post them somehow, then we should have post numbers, no? Post numbers we can type into the 3rdparty archives? Surely they would have grabbed it no, they grab images of banned posts even. Honestly, I'm not sure how they don't ever end up hosting kiddie porn, as far as I'm aware nobody actually watches what the archives scrapes.
3. okay, 4chan won't let you post it, but it's not like it's the only image hosting website. Imgur, reddit, photobucket, catbox. Hell, post it on 2chan, let's see the FBI get to it there in time, it's out of their jurisdiction. And that's not even counting the fucking darkweb. The internet is massive and global. Their reach and manpower is limited.

If the original is completely inaccessible in ear of our lard 1983+39 , it's either because those that saved it are too lazy, stupid, or cowardly to spread it properly, or else it never existed to begin with and it's all a damn meme.
