/v/ does not dictate what the lowest common denominator easy to please kids suck the dick of.
>>323427818
But I hate the Wii U.
>>323427818
You are confusing cause and effect, OP.
you might have gotten the sequence wrong
anything wildly successful /v/ eventually hates
>>323427818
But we hate you and you aren't even remotely successful.
>>323427959
most of /v/ loves the Wii U
>>323427818
>it's a dumb frogposter thread
/v/ loved Undertale before it became popular and only started hating it when retard contrarians got mad that something is praised.
>>323427920
/v/ pretty much created the popularity of minecraft and undertale, so not really
No, /v/ hates what's widely popular
>>323428429
>/v/ pretty much created the popularity of minecraft
Oh you.
No, /v/ is just hipster as fuck.
Undertale was receiving immense amounts of praise for first couple of weeks after release. It becomes more popular? Woow, everyone on /v/ fucking hates it.
Same with everything else, really.
>anything [SUBJECT BOARD] hates becomes wildly successful
>implying there aren't dedicated subject boards which aren't full of proto-hipsters who hate everything successful
/mu/ - You're a pleb if you listen to anything but 100 year old recordings of Mongolian Throat Chanting
/tv/ - You're a pleb if you watch anything made after 2000
/v/ - You're a pleb if you like any AAA game (Nintendo is acceptable to enjoy because their tiny marketshare is within hipster margins)
/a/ - You're a pleb if you enjoy any Anime that has enjoyed any amount of success
>>3234>>323428840
>/o/: you are a pleb for driving a v6
>/ck/: you are a pleb fotblike siracha sauce
This is a website for hating popular things, why don't newfags get this?
/v/ has a refined pallette that is hard to please. Think wine connoisseur that dislikes those cartons of cheap chardonnay. Problem is cheap chardonnay is popular otherwise it wouldn't exist. So people call the connoisseur pretentious and stuck up. And that's true. /v/ is pretentious and nitpicky. But that doesn't mean /v/ is wrong it just means it cares about games and quality. Seeing a vat of napoleon brandy being mixed with lemonade and being sold in wetherspoons would make the connoisseur cringe. Seeing derivative games become popular makes /v/ cringe because devs respond to this demand by creating more derivative games.
After a day at work listening to people call themselves gamers because they play mobile games or the latest doody franchise I like to hear /v/ rail its sycophantic and psychotic opinions because it reminds me: candy crush or civilization2 we are all still gamers no matter how much I hate it. But at least somewhere there is someone still fighting the good fight and backing my opinions even if we are powerless to do anything. Like Ben kenobi quietly watching the collapse of freedom and the ascendency of the empire from a bolthole on tatooine only daring to hope that one day things might change. Just have to keep surviving and believing and rallying whoever you can to the cause because one day it might change. But we will always have our memories.
plenty of people on /v/ liked undertale before it started getting a lot of coverage
the problem is that you're all contrarians.
>>323429134
/v/ are wine connoisseurs? Makes sense. A bunch of people nitpicking about shit they don't really understand in order to appear superior.

>>323427818
we hate ourselves
that explains why there is so many redditor faggots in here
>>323429589
>implying redditors would frequent a website where they cant have a recognised name and suck each others dick for points.
>>323429371
There are still plenty of people on /v/ who like Undertale. The thing is, you're not seeing those people posting because they played it when it came out and they all got done talking about it then before moving on to playing something else. The people who are talking about it now are the ones who hate it because it's still being discussed as a significant game of 2015.
/v/ is not one person. There are lots of opinions represented here. The board does tend to come to a rough consensus about many things over time but there are always outliers whatever that may be. Just keep in mind that whatever opinion you're seeing most is what's being pushed the hardest and shouted the loudest, not the universal opinion of everyone who posts here.
This sub has been obsessed over hating popular things for forever.

/v/ produces a pretty big "Streisand effect" with shit.
things we can directly thank /v/ for amplifying, despite trying not to:
>Anita/SJW trend in gaming
>Undertale
>My Little Pony
>Portal 2 and the memes in games trend
seriously, fuck this board for shitposting all of this crap into existence.
>>323428049
Or is /v/ filled with Reddit-tier fanboys who dismiss any criticisms?
>>323427959
Same i hate the wii u too. Fucking garbage system. First Nintendo console I'm not owning at least until theres more than 3 games I'd want to play
>>323430236
4chan has much less of an affect on this shit than you think
>>323427818
Or does /v/ hate things because they're successful? /v/ liked undertale until it got popular, now it's regarded as an "sjw game"
>>323428524
Undertale is also not true since a fuckton are from the Homestuck fandom
/v/ helped but was by far not the biggest factor
>>323427818
Don't mix cause and effect, it goes another way around

/v/ is the best reviewer of games, if /v/ hates it then it is a good game and you should buy it.
>>323427818
but v loves undertale

All Redditors want to do is circlejerk for points to get that imaginary number by their name higher. Why the fuck would they come on 4Chan where they have none of that?

hello reddit friends
enjoying spamming undermeme threads?
No it's just this market is easy to take advantage of
All you need to make money is Characters that are iconic (make porn of) or advertise on a furry porn place.
>>323427818
It's more like, hobbyists have more developed taste and can recognize nuance that mass consumers miss. IE genuine chocolate lovers prefer dark chocolate because it tastes more like the primary ingredient, chocolate, and allows for more complex tastes; however, sugary, over sweet milk chocolate sells more because it's cheaper and tastes "good". But milk chocolate is so much cheaper because it contains less chocolate.
>>323430892
>not realizing many people use both sites
Keep scape hosting, faggot
serious question
how much better would /v/ be if we just fucking filtered tumblr, neofag, reddit, and twitter?
>>323431628
If you mean banning people who also browse those sites, it would hardly change anything.
If you mean banning retards like you who scream boogeyman every time they are confronted by something they don't like and are too idiotic to understand things in a not black-or-white way then the quality would drastically improve.
>>323431628
Are there really people who don't read both 4chan and Reddit? I can't believe it.
>>323432343
Kill yourself.
>You were alive to see Redditors being the main userbase of this site
God I wish there was a better alternative than this fucking cesspit full of underage plebs.
>>323431628
Not much better, really. It's not like "native /v/irgins" are the cream of the crop themselves.
>>323432701
nice projecting, faggot

Projecting what you stupid fuck? Learn what the words you use mean.
>>323432798
If you think browsing both isn't a big deal, than why are you talking about le epic fellow redditors should le stick together on le 4chains for the sake of le meems?
Die.

>Mongolian Throat Chanting
That shit is so bad.
>>323432837
projecting your own browsing habits
If r/gaming and 4c/vidya were merged together as one sub for a one week, would people from both subs learn to respect each other?
>>323432967
I don't think browsing both is a big deal, the retarded part is that you think people actually care whether you do or not.
The even more retarded is that you try to fit in on an anonymous image board acting like it is cool to hate on reddit.
This is how it normally goes
>/v/ finds thing or thing is released
>/v/ is in love with it for a bit
>thing becomes popular
>/v/ does not like this
>/v/ now hates thing
>>323433109
>haha he must be le trolling there's no way people aren't redditor plebs like me :^)
Why 4chanitors hate redditors so much?
>>323433654
Because the communities have antithetical purposes.
>>323436353
Reddit = "think of how to be hip with the bacon and appeal to the community and score loads of karma"
4chan = "lash out with whatever Id-grade emotions are brewing in my amygdala and cause a riot fistfight"
>>323429448
I keep seeing this argument, but 2 Buck Chuck is literally just random wine which is bought cheap and sold cheap. It just so happened that the quality differs widely from batch to batch. So that particular batch was from a good vintage.
>>323431217
By saying that you try to legitimate reddit's place on this board, but Reddit is not welcome for the simple reason, that Reddit works on recognition of your own post (aka, upvote/downvote).
On 4chan you are a nobody and shall stay a nobody for your post to have any value. /v/'s goal is not to create meme despite what Redditors may think.
tl;dr GTFO
>>323436353
How so? You implying that getting Karma on reddit is any different from getting (You)'s on 4chan?
>>323433654
Reddits steals content from here shamelessly and runs our jokes to the ground.
Also basically this >>323436353
4chan is to share opinions, images, content, etc. without having a name or identity tied to you, on Reddit genuine discussion is often drowned out by retards trying to appeal to the other retards by posting the quirky likeable things the majority wants to hear and in the end it turns into a circlejerk/hugbox. I don't browse reddit but occasionally I stumble upon it while looking for stuff, and I found out the only acceptable subreddits are the low traffic ones, while big ones like r/gaming are always pure cancer, simply because the site's very layout and working encourages attention whores to try appeal to the masses of idiots and the more people there are the louder the idiots scream and drown out discussion.

I don't see any fucking difference and I find the idea of Reddit fucking stupid. I go on it to find sports streams cause /sp/ has nazi mods who ban you for linking streams and there is an entire page on reddit giving out links. But I have no idea how to browse reddit, even if I wanted to.
4chan is popular because it's easier to use.

I think you're discounting a snowball effect. I mean, shit from 4chan ends up on Facebook and now we have an entire generation of teenagers talking about memes and shit. It's like an Orwellian nightmare.
>>323427818
Think you've got it the wrong way around there buddy!
>>323433654
Because 4chan hates everything.
>>323437330
You are still a nobody. And as nobody is supposed to know who you are and how many posts you've already made, a post a little value beyond what readers put in it. You take into account the content and not what people thought about it. Reaction images are not a marker of a good post but more of a good joke/lame answer. You don't browse /v/ for those.
OC used to be the motto of 4chan and the most important thing.
Even SWTOR became one of the most successful WoW clones of all time, despite all the Tortanic stuff
>>323438042
True, but, if you were to start a MSPaint thread on /v/, you'd be accused of "REDDIT!!!!!!!!!"
>>323433654almost everything on 4chan is bait. if it gets a reaction, it gets spammed. faggot, cuck, redditor, autistic - it's all just bait. ALL BAIT
Fucking faggot cuck fuck off back to reddit
Keep on hatin
It only makes her more powerful
>>323437139
There's a world of difference, because you can't stack up (You)s and display them next to your post

look at the top right of your post retard
>>323438861
She didn't get into Smashbros, so why do you even care?
There's nothing to hate.
I think it's the other way around.
Anything that is wildly successful /v/ hates.
>>323437139
>>323437330
i always had the feeling this stupid reply system moot created was a pseudo popularity meter, but to be completely honest a bunch of (you)s can mean the post is "bad" or an unpopular opinion, something that would be hidden from sight on reddit here gets attention, so I don't think it's quite on the same level
>>323427818
fuck off tortanic babby.
