Thank you, Zinnia. Was the transgressive site you mention Château Heartiste? That was a blog which was extremely influential, but it was so completely antithetical to what was acceptable that no one would admit that they were reading it. But you would see quotes from it or references to show up all over the Internet..

Heartiste started out as brilliantly insightful and hilarious, and also seemed to contain practical and actionable relationship advice, and it’s cynicism was tempered with a certain amount of benign worldly wisdom. But it decayed overtime into a sick and bitter and weirdly anti-Semitic focus which bore little resemblance to its initial purpose. Very strange and regrettable. My guess is that the original anonymous blogger or bloggers dropped off and new people came in who didn’t have the same character or intelligence.

I wasn't familiar with Heartiste at the time, mostly was just on reddit, but all of that was derivative from the older bloggers

I hope this gets posted there. Modern reddit is an absolute crash for enforcing modern insanity.
