In this post I’m going to be diving into who the real Joshua Moon is, and what is behind this tough guy persona he puts up.
Josh’s parents split up when he was very young. He was taken care of mostly by his mom with help from his grandparents. By the time he was in middle school they had moved out and his mom started working nights. Josh stayed online and taught himself how to code while playing video games, which led to a 13 year old Josh starting to play a game called Blockland. Going by the names of IbanZ, IbanX, Iban, Ichverbot, CityRPG, and Not Important, Josh didn’t get the attention he needed at home, so he made it everyone else’s problem.
Relationship with Mother
Josh was very neglected growing up. He had an absent father and a mother who he resented for giving birth to him and her bad choices.
His relationship with his mother most likely led to his seething hatred of women.
Raised by the Internet
Josh has been on image-boards like 4chan since he was 14 years old.
These online forums and image boards were his only coping mechanism for the misery and self hatred that he experienced, and the neglect he faced in real life.
Josh learned that the only way that he could get the attention he wanted was through being violent and offensive. Josh comments on how he’s such a disgusting person because he just really wants people to listen to him :( poor joshy-poo
Josh started Community College at 17, but dropped out shortly after to pursue job experience.
In early adulthood, Josh’s home was burned down by an arsonist. The arsonist was his mother’s boyfriend.
Josh’s sexuality
Josh doesn’t enjoy sex. He blames this on his depression and the fact that he is circumcised. Josh claims that he has never had an orgasm from sexual interactions and he can’t feel anything.
When Josh was 14, he went through what he calls a “gay phase.” This is the source of the “neko shota” logs.
God knows what else he was experimenting with, knowing what he was exposed to.
I haven’t decided if I want to include the below in the op yet, feedback is welcome
Relationship with Pedophilia
Josh grew up in the gutter of the early internet, he has talked extensively about the vile shit he’s seen and what experiences he had growing up.
Later on, Josh moderated 8chan, owned 16chan, and now owns kiwi farms. Few will ever understand how much that material must’ve affected his brain, as there are many ways desensitization could manifest.
One thing that Josh is very adamant about is his belief that pedophiles need to be “contained.”
Josh hates pedophile lolcows because they aren’t “funny” and people can’t “just laugh”
I wonder how this mindset leaked into the other moderation decisions of the site.
another thought to sleep on is why his idea of “free speech” led to him allowing some of the most disgusting material on his platforms (see the zoosadist content thread)

| “She is a slut who had me at 18. She is the sole reason I'm pro-choice. I'm hoping more whores that got knocked up at her age and would become stuffty parents would abort their kids as opposed to bringing them up miserably” (archive). |
| “She reminds me constantly about how pathetic I am about about how I suck the last loving slivers of joy out of her mind and how horribly unproud she is that I fell from her womb” (archive). |
His relationship with his mother most likely led to his seething hatred of women.
| “I've learned that I don't really like women and if I could choose to be gay, I would. I've learned that the best way to get someone to not want to talk to you is to threaten to murder them (repeatedly)” (archive). |
| “I've never felt invested in. I never thought that anyone I knew expected me to succeed” (archive) |

| “Growing up, if I ever wanted the attention of my school or parent, I'd have to say something really violent and/or shocking. I had to offend people. This carried over into online life when I was a tween/teen and that sort of grossly offensive use of language still bubbles up when I really want to be listened to” (archive). |

| “I've met out-of-the-closet pedophiles. I've met women that eat their own cervical mucus and whom masturbate by using slugs. I've met people whose biggest fantasy is to have sex with dolphins. I've met sociopaths, budding spree killers, and everyone in between. I've been a pen-pal to a convict with a life sentence, and I've been a shoulder to cry on for an 11 year old girl being raped by her father on a regular basis” |
