Who are you quoting? There's a greater than sign in your post, so you must be quoting someone. It'd be strange if you just decided to slap a mathematical symbol at the start of the line for no apparent reason, that would be redundant and annoying. I'm going to go ahead and assume this wasn't your intent, so what is the source of this quote?

Pepe the frog was not born on 4chan. The remixing and modification of Pepe the frog was but the original source material was a comic strip.

Most of these in the picture provided were born on 4chan, though not the Yao Ming vectorization, most of the others were. (It's difficult to remember exactly which ones were and weren't). All of these are now associated with reddit.

"EPIC WIN!" "EPIC FAIL" and the like were born on 4chan. They are now associated with 9gag.

This is nothing new. 4chan used to exist on a much smaller internet. The internet has gotten tremendous and websites that aggregate content now own the content. A single piece of information no longer has any value. While "PEPE THE FROG" may have value, T5E7qo2NQPFzF1nfNejJ_UpvOWd7X.jpg does not, as I can just make infinitely many of them and nobody would ever spend a cent for one of them.

I hope this has cleared some things up for you, Anon. If you'd like me to clarify any of my points or if you'd like to correct me on any of my errors, I'm open to discussion and criticism.

Just because it's from 4chan doesn't mean it's 4chan tier. All these rage comic memes like Trollface and so on comes from 4chan too, but it doesn't mean it's 4chan tier as I said. Kinda like Polandball comes from Krautchan, or Dolan, that comes from Ylilauta, doesn't mean these memes are fitting for these sites, same goes for 4chan.

It's time to drop captcha Hiro. On my home wifi I get pic related double word captchas, and turning off legacy puts me on blurry street signs. But when I use the 4g on my phone, I get house numbers or easy images.

Captcha serves no function, delete it

>>411751
That is literally, objectively, a terrible idea.
>>
>>411751
The captcha doesn't serve a function but it does prevent some functions from being served. In particular, it prevents spambots from posting.

You can bypass the captcha by purchasing a 4chan pass. If 20 dollars is too much for you, consider if you actually care about posting on 4chan at all in the first place. If 4chan were a gated community where only people who have paid 20 dollars were allowed to post, would you want to post there at all?

If 20 dollars is difficult for you to come by, I could assist you in getting a simple job with some steady supplementary income.

Kind regards,

What's wrong with food analogies?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>409671

Weak Analogy

(also known as: bad analogy, false analogy, faulty analogy, questionable analogy, argument from spurious similarity, false metaphor)

Description: When an analogy is used to prove or disprove an argument, but the analogy is too dissimilar to be effective, that is, it is unlike the argument more than it is like the argument.

Logical Form:

X is like Y.

Y has property P.

Therefore, X has property P.

(but X really is not too much like Y)

Example #1:

Not believing in the literal resurrection of Jesus because the Bible has errors and contradictions, is like denying that the Titanic sank because eye-witnesses did not agree if the ship broke in half before or after it sank.

Explanation: This is an actual analogy used by, I am sorry to say, one of my favorite Christian debaters (one who usually seems to value reason and logic). There are several problems with this analogy, including:

The Titanic sank in recent history
We know for a fact that the testimonies we have are of eye-witnesses
We have physical evidence of the sunken Titanic

Example #2:

Believing in the literal resurrection of Jesus is like believing in the literal existence of zombies.

Explanation: This is a common analogy used by some atheists who argue against Christianity. It is a weak analogy because:

Jesus was alive not just undead
If God is assumed, then God had a reason to bring Jesus (himself) back—no such reason exists for zombies
Zombies eat brains, Jesus did not (as far as we know)

Exception: It is important to note that analogies cannot be “faulty” or “correct”, and even calling them “good” or “bad” is not as accurate as referring to them as either “weak” or “strong”. The use of an analogy is an argument in itself, the strength of which is very subjective. What is weak to one person, is strong to another.

Tip: Analogies are very useful, powerful, and persuasive ways to communicate ideas. Use them -- just make them strong.

https://desustorage.org/a/thread/136043209/

Why was my perfectly reasonable thread on /a/ deleted?

This is the problem I have with /a/. You really aren't allowed to express certain opinions there without risking being moderated by someone with an agenda. It wasn't trolling. It wasn't horribly though out. It's an opening post meant to generate discussion about anime on a deeper level than "would you lick her feet?" And it did. There were some dubs/roulette trolls who tried to derail the thread (and whose post should have been deleted), but instead the whole thread was deleted, which is unacceptable.

In my opinion this reflects the primary reason /a/ has declined. Moderators on /a/ have way too much power, too much discretion. It's a worse problem than it seems in part because on /a/ there are a vocal group of people who celebrate the exclusion of opinions or groups that upset them (they are likely to show up in this thread and accuse me of being a newfag or something), some people leave after they see how bad things get, and many just don't care because their posting unaffected. But to someone like me who is very opinionated and spent years of my life on /a/ arguing shit, it's really concerning to see an internet home of mine become what it has.

5+ years ago you had blatant troll threads that would stay up without a hitch, and I miss those days, since at least you got interesting discussion out of them and it was a relative free marketplace of ideas. The trend now (and /a/ has been moving this way for years) is for mods to delete threads that they feel provoke /a/ orthodoxy. I feel as if current /a/ mods tend to be people who started posting back in 2011 or so, who internalized many of the complaints of some of the vocal groups, and once they ascended to power used it to mold /a/ in that group's image.

Yes, quoting myself:

> I feel as if current /a/ mods tend to be people who started posting back in 2011

This is actually reflected in the creation of /wsr/. This is a board really made solely because over the last 5 years or so years some groups on /a/ have been obsessed with the idea that recommendation threads were the worst thing imaginable to be allowed on /a/, that they let in a breed of folk that don't belong at all.

Of course this baffles someone like me, who started posting on /a/ back in 2007 and whose first thread was a rec thread. Back then, recommendation threads weren't considered so bad. A mild annoyance at the most. It's why we started crafting recommendation images and copypasta. But somewhere down the line (this started probably in the latter part of 2010) some people started complaining hard and convinced a large part of /a/ that recommendation threads were The Worst. I think that this was largely newer people trying to fit in and trying to grab whatever they could to feel superior to "The Newfags," but whatever, it worked.

They complained so hard that not only was it the case that recommendation threads were bad and causing ruin to /a/, /a/ had ALWAYS hated recommendation threads. Anyway, it used to be for awhile /a/ engaged in "self-moderation," and just started spamming the threads or telling people to fuck off. I don't know an exact year but this was a thing for a few years after 2010. Then you saw moderators started deleting the threads outright and validating this group who decided to impose their will on /a/. Those same moderators likely lobbied the super moderators to make /wsr/.
>>
/a/ is a hugbox. When they see something they don't like they just derail the thread and cover their ears like tumblrinas.

Not even /tv/ and /v/ do that, it's a total shithole with not even the humility to admit it.

No one cares. /a/ is for talking about anime and manga, not bitching about your problems
