Why did /m/ get overrun?
>>14122898
sage
People decided responding to shitposters was more productive than reporting.
Fishposters are such fucking faggots. It probably originated on /v/, which would explain it's inherent faggotry.
>>14122910
Too bad the mod visit like once a month
>>14123023
Meido likes /jp/ more than /m/ after all.>fucking Chihaya from im@s is the reason this board is so shit nowadays
>>14122910
If you mean the "this is bait" image, that actually came from /mlp/, acording to anon.
>>14122898
/m/ has always been a newfag Haven
>>14122898
Inferior mechs. Not enough resources to carry on the fight. Poor industrial capacity. No newtypes.
>>14123390
>No newtypes.
At least we'll die human.
>>14123346
This
>>14122898
It never did. The original posters just got progressively worse and blame everybody but themselves.
>>14122898
>Why did /m/ get overrun?
This is what you get when there is a hyped mecha anime airs in the current season.
We are better off with the genre being dead on anime front so that normies will stop plaguing this board.
>>14123023
And does nothing to get rid of shitposting but instead bans translators for no reason.
>>14123865
The thing that pisses me off is deleting mech dump threads for 'spam'. Why is making 10 threads about
>What did he mean by this
okay, but making a thread full of Getter fan art is deletion worthy?
>>14123868
Pfft, when TE's MK2 spoiler thread got spammed by some shitposter the mod banned TE and left the shitposter to continue shitposting.
>>14123847
We're better off without frogposters
>>14123872
Yes. I know about that. And like I said, I also can't understand why the mods are deleting mecha threads on the mecha board.
>>14123996
Because the mods are the shitposters. They only want shit.
>>14123996
Same reason why they ban contributors instead of spamming shitposters: They're retarded.
>>14122898
Depends on what you mean by overrun. /m/ had always been patrician and welcomed polite argument no matter your viewpoint, mostly because we wanted to avoid being /a/. Progressive voices have had to become more stern as their conversational partners went from, "I don't really agree but that's okay," to, "GB2 TUMBLR LIBRUL SJW," but we've always been here. As for when /pol/ showed up, they've been trying to redpill as many boards as possible since Trayvon Martin kicked off the new culture wars in earnest, and particularly since GG.
>>14123847
>when there is a hyped mecha anime airs in the current season.
There is?
>>14124069
I think he's talking about IBO
>>14124077
Or a macross.
>>14124077
IBO was never that hype, and certainly not since it started airing.
Probably talking about Shigeki no Cranberries.
>>14122898
Bugman induced a tumblr infestation that attracted newfags and other idiots.
>>14122898
Tokufags and the influx of people from tumblr and reddit.
Old posters all either turned traitor and supported the invaders, got banned or left.
>>14124061
>/m/ had always been patrician and welcomed polite argument
Someone hasn't been reading any UC Gundam threads lately.
>>14124363
>lately
Welp.
>>14122898
Because /a/spies randomly decided that Shitphogear is an /m/ series, and nobody bothered to object to that for some reason. It's really obvious that most of the shitposters are from /a/.
>>14124061
Conservatives exist on this board and on the net in general in roughly equal quantities to liberals or left wings.
"Progressive voices" have had to get stronger as much as "traditional voices" have on the web because both extreme ends tend to become polarized in their own isolated spheres.
/pol/ Nazis and SJWs both shit up the board IMO. I hate politics of any kind here, whether its "FuckNg niggers BTFO" or "Gundam literally NEEDS more transpanothersexual characters"
"/m/ is for Mecha, not your personal net agenda"
>>14123868
>The thing that pisses me off is deleting mech dump threads for 'spam'
damm that's why i never seen a mecha dump anymore that sucks man
At some point /m/ became /a/ with a focus on giant robots.
When you stop watching shows because they legitimately interest you and start watching them because you want to be part of the in crowd, that's when something's gone horribly wrong. It's become about memes and ironic entertainment and dismissing the opinions of others because they're out of line with your echo chamber of choice since after all it's only right when you agree with it, because it's everyone else with the shit taste!
IT'S A CULTURE OF SHITPOSTING.
Where were you when toku become safer than mecha on /m/?
>>14124668
Posting /pol/ memes under the Zeon flag has been a thing for a while now dude.
Moreover, there really aren't too many SJWs on here. It's just trolling. That's all it really is. You might get into a discussion with one because of trolling, but stuff like "Why is this allowed?" is generally considered a joke among people who idolize an impulsive pedophile.
>>14124705
I'd be fine with tokufags if they didn't bring the "everything slightly mechanical is /m/" crowd and stayed on their generals
>>14122898
Mecha Talk banned one of its pariah members in early 2013, he vented here and never stopped, trolls ans shitposters were impressed by this so they mimicked him, and newfags who didn't know any better copied them. To some degree it's MT's fault.
>>14124716
>Posting /pol/ memes under the Zeon flag has been a thing for a while now dude.
there weren't that annoying back then
>>14124702
/a/ has better discussion than /m/.
>>14124740
Have you tried discussing Eva there?
>>14124740
This is usually true, and it comes with /a/ having less of a stick shoved up its ass as /m/ does.
But the flipside to that is /a/ can't rattle off trivia bullshit like /m/ can due to lack of specialization.
You have a Delta thread in /a/ to talk about the show, and a Delta thread in /m/ to talk about fluff.
>>14124745
have you tried discussing gundam here?
>>14124740
It's also harder to find.
>>14124745
This. 9 time out of 10 people are still stuck on the Christian imagery.
>>14124668
>/pol/ Nazis and SJWs both shit up the board IMO. I hate politics of any kind here, whether its "FuckNg niggers BTFO" or "Gundam literally NEEDS more transpanothersexual characters"
The thing is that I constantly see the former, but the latter rarely gets beyond, "Gee I wish there were more black/female Gundam pilots." The only time I've ever seen trans issues come up was during discussion of that one episode of Gargantia, and /m/ was very vocal about not wanting to be criticized in any capacity for laughing at a joke that was somewhat transphobic but mostly harmless.
>>14124752
>It's also harder to find
well, the user base is like 100x the size of /m/.
>stuck on the Christian imagery
not really. most eva discussion that even attempts this gets slammed with >>>/evageeks shit.
>>14124753
/m/ is very paranoid of leftist sentiment these days to the point that if you have the misfortune of saying something that can be misinterpreted as leftist, the pitchforks start rattling.
I blame election season.
Remember folks, Bill Cosby is innocent from the lying mouths of 57 banshees that hate US history.
>>14124720
In other words Guanche got his revenge on us.
>>14124796
More or less
>>14124763
Dude, people keep claiming /m/ is racist and sexist. That's going to bring out pitchforks. I will agree it's probably due to the elections.
>>14124753
>No, no, we are playing nice. It's EVERYONE ELSE THAT'S A PROBLEM.
Why do people keep claiming this? Battletech fans are called racist. Pilot suit threads are called sexist soft porn. People are spamming LOGH copy pastas about it being sexist. It's currently happening in the SF book thread. I'm purely apolitical on /m/ and refuse to talk politics on /m/, and I've lost track of how many times I've been called a white male bigot over the last few months. I don't know why people keep claiming it's not happening when it clearly is. It could be just trolling, sure. But it's still happening.
Unlike /v/, which is a shitpost free-for-all , /m/ has the super autistically dedicated shitposters who religiously post the same shit every day.
The latter is much worse.
>>14124823
This a million times.
Also, /pol/ shitposters. Keep your dumb racism/sexism/imperialism fantasies off of /m/.
>>14124720
And spent years spamming /m/ with
>I'm depressed
And if shit posters are to be believed he then switched to spamming /m/ with beargguy images.
>>14122898

I miss TE.
>>14124716
Yeah, >>14124668 was just referring to serious stuff. I love a good joke, especially the Dougram / zeon spurdos
TE was absolutely horrible at translating Japanese.
tokufags did this
>>14124879
Reminder that TE spoiler guy is a shitposting liar and all his translations are fake lies. KNG is the only person from the start who was putting up all the media and stuff and translations before TE was up. TE spoier guy translation is dubious because he adds his own opinion shit to translations often overblowing or under whelming topics. Hes the fox news of translating material. Everyone knew SMfags were awful the moment TE Spoiler Guy and other SM apologists started cropping up once the anime was announced. Literally cancer. he outright makes up shit and got thrown out of /m/ a long time ago, it was Kiminozo Guy and a few other /m/ dudes who called him out for his assholery and handing, he was called out for fake spoilers and lying about a lot of things and his "japanese" knowledge being called into question

Yep. If you criticize the beargguy spam people get butthurt over it though.
But seriously, right now this is 2005 SRW roleplay thread levels of cringe.
>>14124817
>I don't know why people keep claiming it's not happening when it clearly is. It could be just trolling, sure.
Because you have to point out specific threads where your beliefs are merely questioned whereas I can safely say that off-topic racist shitposting happens in 90% of threads, regardless of subject matter? The same rules apply here as everywhere else: don't feed the trolls (or anyone who tries to steer the topic of conversation to something undesirable). If you insist on replying, then you've started a conversation that others are obviously more than willing to continue.
You'd be a lot happier if you had the presence of mind or self control to understand that you may be wrong or that you don't have to reply to everything you disagree with, respectively. In either case, sometimes it's not worth it.
You act like those of us with progressive viewpoints don't have to put up with a ton of shit on an internet that is largely conservative.
>>14125007
>But seriously, right now this is 2005 SRW roleplay thread levels of cringe.
So it seems I wasn't the only one who was reminded of that shit. Newfags, when will they learn?

Thanks to /v/ and /pol/ never, they think their newfaggotry is how they should always act

>>14125043
Posting a few Beargguy images on a forum makes this piece of garbage Bearfag?
>>14125016
eh, i think casual racism is part of this site's milieu, but it is indicative of how long people have been on site/the various boards they visit. i mean, edgy racism, whether with true intentions or not, belonged to a period on /b/ that had well worn out its humor by the late 2000s, and /b/ is universally despised among the other boards because of how cancerous it is (this also goes for other, larger boards /v/, /pol/, /tv/, etc.). someone spewing nigger every ten words doesn't trigger me in the least for liberal reasons, but it does make me think to myself 'it stopped being funny years ago'.
>>14125016
>where your beliefs are merely questioned whereas I can safely say that off-topic racist shitposting happens in 90% of threads, regardless of subject matter

And mods banning everyone except for shitposters.
>>14125066
Pretending that someone you disagree with is being facetious is as dumb and disingenuous as it ever was, so please don't do it. I feel like people either never learned or have forgotten how this anonymous thing works: if it's a troll, you ignore it; if you respond, that's a tacit acknowledgment that you think the message you're replying to was posted in earnest, and you have an obligation to do the same if you reply at all. "You must be a troll" is a shitpost and you know it.
>>14124363
>had
>past tense.
(You)'re a fucking moron.
>>14125065
Casual racism as a joke puts me on edge, but I can accept it if firing back is kosher. The moment you complain about someone calling you a white boy or a shitlord, you lose your internet nigger privileges. Or, rather, you have revealed "lol we're just joking" to be a farce, so now I have every right to take your racism against me as seriously as you take my racism against you. And that goes for all the other isms too.
I actually liked when people were shit to each other but everyone "knew" it was a joke. Somehow real world tensions got dragged into here and I refuse to let it be an echo chamber, at least as far as anon's interactions with me.
>>14125219
I hope it was comfy under that rock of yours.
>>14125343
When you make a joke, it is about something in your thoughts unless it is a direct observation of some sort. So when someone makes a generally unprompted racist joke, they're really just racist and trying to sugarcoat it.
>>14125388
>they're really just racist and trying to sugarcoat it
Yah got me. All those years of posting giganigga on /b/ were actually thinly veiled attempts at indoctrinating the youth
You showed me.
>>14125388
I mean, I know this now, and I always suspected it, but if I were to take everything at face value, I would lose all hope. So I give people the benefit of the doubt, that they just said something stupid without really understanding what they'd just said (which you can do, even as an adult); not for them, for me. But I do know in the back of my mind that most people don't deserve it, least of all because they aren't ready to offer it to anyone else.
>>14125366
fucking 2/3rds satan fuck off with your shitposting.
>>14125130
>>14125322
No, no, no. Poe's law isn't saying
>This person is is factious
Poe's law is saying you can't tell if saying saying a bunch of crazy shit since they are being facetious, or they actually believe the crazy shit they are saying. It's about the ambiguity. When someone spews obvious, provable falsehoods, is it because they are trolling, or if they are insane enough to believe the false things they are saying.
>>14125043
So he's Valrager, the Beargguy spammer, and and the depression spammer. That's some serious autism.
>>14125595
>Implying I didn't understand it
Invoking Poe's Law AT ALL is trouble because the ambiguity collapses into a certainty depending on your response or non-response. You're being a dick by responding as if the post wasn't made in earnest: either you ruined the joke by pointing out that it was a joke, or you disrespected someone who was making a point that they really believed in.
On top of that, nothing in that post was an extreme viewpoint. I don't know what to say if you see, "/m/ is inundated with bigotry," "Btw you might be wrong OR replying might not be worth your time," and, "Actually it sucks being a librul online," and respond with, "WOAH DUDE THAT SHIT IS SO CRAZY I CAN'T TELL IF YOU'RE JOKING OR NOT!". Maybe, "Stop watching Fox News?". Yeah, that's probably it.
>>14125639
Autist here.
That's not autism, that's being a complete psychopath.
>>14125123
>>14125216
No, Valvrager hates Haruto and tolerates the first half, Duel hates secondary characters and found season 1 boring. If you look at their rhetoric they are very similar, but have key differences. In fact I'd bet money the autistic dipshit posting forum garbage is Valvrager covering his tracks.
>>14125130
>5 years ago
And this is relevant how?
>>14125639
>depression spam
This was a thing? And Beargguy spammer just admitted he wasn't Duel, is Valvrager trying that hard for identity theft (and failing miserably I may add)?
>>14126232
>This was a thing?
Nope, Valvrager aka Ebirah Scampi is samefagging really hard.
>>14125639
Why are all of our shitposters so fucking obsessive?
>>14125639
No, likely, and yes in that order.
>>14126248
I honestly don't what is sadder, the fact that they are trying to palce the blame on one another or the fact that they hail from the same place
>>14126257
Valvrager was so impressed by Duel's autism he tried to mimic him, but quickly realize that autism that powerful cannot be done without the abrasive social hardships of being an outcast so he tries his sad attempts to distance himself. What he fails to recognize is that Duel was chosen by the chaos gods to be the daemon prince of /m/ undivided, taking everything that composes of /m/ culture and make it into the depths of the internet at the cost of his own legacy.
>>14126267
But Duel constantly disagrees with everyone, has an extremely low interest in sex, boasts about his masculinity, brings up the fact he rarely uses legal streaming sources for really stupid reasons, likes posting /m/ humor, vents his rage at otherwise popular current things, praises old shit more than new shit, and dances the line between being really intelligent and being really dumb.Holy fuck he is /m/ incarnate.
>>14126285
>vents his rage at otherwise popular current things
He gave both halves Aldnoah Zero a perfect score.
>>14126248
You sure it's shrimpy? I woulda went with Legion 1979, Godzilla 2000, HellSpawn28, Arrow, Fireball, Azathoth, or even Tankred. The fact one of his pictures took place before his ban at MT narrowed Valvrager's real identity.
>>14126305

Don't care if he is Valvrager or not, I'd buy this guy a beer.
>>14125216
That theory has been debunked in previous threads, Valvrager has been trying very hard to frame Duel (and fail) as >>14126220 pointed out.
>>14125639
Beargguy is not crazy man

>>14126391
Ever asked him? I've talked to the guy, he's very honest.
>>14126391
Vaçvrager being the cursefag is pretty much a given since the way he shitposts is just a evolution of how he started
>>14125002
I love how /m/ is whining over some forumtard while not one of you called bullshit on THIS. We deserved to be overrun.
>>14126398
I've literally seen topics where cursefag said he was insulted by being mistaken for Valvrager.
>>14126399
Man, are you really that starved for replies that you have to start samefagging? This is some sad shit
>>14126401
Holy shit that is retarded
>>14126403
No samefagging, if you want an example of how /m/ got overrun, shit like that is a prime cut of meat.
>>14126408
Because that is either Duel or the Valvrager shitposting or did it escape your pea brain that they keep looking for new shit to shitpost about and since IBO being the shit fest that it was is the perfect target for that

You sure this isn't some third guy?
