Stop trying to kill off what little good material there is left in /v/ by splitting it. All that would do is leave us with 2 heavily-shitposted boards and satisfy nobody. If you want /v/ to be better, you have to aggressively ban shitposters and off-topic threads. There is no other way.

These threads aren't exclusive to either side.
>>
>>349078
Why is either:

-/vj/ always the split off and /v/ left with the Western side

-/v/ flat-out deleted and /jv/ and /wv/ created, presumably with /jv/ getting more weight

usually the case in these discussions? Is /a/ jealous of /pol/ getting 2 satellite boards so now they're trying to re-appropriate the /v/ content they want into a board and leaving everyone else out to dry? Have people given up on /v/ as a whole even though the word filter worked swimmingly, showing improvement is still possible nowadays?

If you want a split that badly, get all the YT/Twitch/watching games shit into a single board. That is one of the only potential new boards that could help improve /v/.
>>
>>349088
Waifufaggotry is almost an exclusively eastern thing (due in part to the fact western waifus are garbage, but also because most people who play eastern games are beta af).

I left /v/ as just /v/ because obviously there will be the occasional confusion that arises with regional differences, so /v/ can be used as a general vidya discussion. As of right now, retro video games and even pokemon can be discussed on /v/ still, but in limited amount.

Also, there's a lot more western video games. Vidya is made in United States, Canada, Central and South America, Russia, Britain and other European countries, where as with eastern video games, its really just Japan who makes vidya in that part of the world.

Why a dramatic splitting of /v/ between regions is a good thing:

Faggots who care about twitter posts, feminism, #GG and other bullshit video game controversy are most likely going to be western video game players. They'll most likely not post in /vj/ and if they do, their posts will most likely be ignored and reported.

Waifufaggotry is mostly an eastern thing.

Basically, you're going to be dividing the shitposts between two boards. This should make shitposts easy to moderate and tolerate.
>>
>>349095
It is predominately an anonymous imageboard where your activity is (mostly) not tied to your posts and history.

Nowadays the non-JP culture portion of the site dwarfs the JP culture portion. The JP culture part is one of the primary draws for some but you shouldn't get to use that as an excuse to divide the board when /v/'s managed to stay together for over 11 years now. The problem is shitposting and the deluge of faggots who can't comprehend that it is possible to not reply to bait or off-topic garbage.

>>349097

>Faggots who care about twitter posts, feminism, #GG and other bullshit video game controversy are most likely going to be western video game players
Then ban that instead of western discussion. Those posters don't want to discuss games or the industry, they use those political topics as an excuse to shitpost.

>Waifufaggotry is mostly an eastern thing.
Waifuposting transcends geographical boundaries. Nowadays, there's just as much of that on the Western side of things but in a different matter. A large part of Witcher 3 threads was just:
>Yen a best
>Triss is shit! SHIT!
>I wish I could fuck my daughteru Ciri wahh
>Why can't I fuck multiple people and get away with it, I could fuck half the population before
>etc.
>>
>>349115
>Then ban that instead of western discussion. Those posters don't want to discuss games or the industry, they use those political topics as an excuse to shitpost.

But then they're going to start bitching even more about "the SJW mods censoring them". I don't want another GG-like shitstorm.
>>
>>349119
this

its a sad fact but we have to let those discussions continue, much like we have to have /mlp/ and /r9k/. It would be bad for all the other good posters if those boards went away. We need to separate the good and the bad, and its a fact that most good /v/ posters happen to also play eastern games more often.
>>
Split it into fucking /sony/, /nintendo/ and /microsoft/. The split into japanese and western games won't do shit if 90% of threads are ruined by either console wars shitposting or PC portbegging. Fucking look at this.

>>>/v/316929921
>>>/v/316930967
>>>/v/316919043

And don't forget the hourly 'why don't you own system X yet?' threads. If you split the fucking board moderation becomes easier since there's less traffic, there would be more room for western / japanese games to coexist and people who have different taste in video games usually buy different hardware. It's also easier to pinpoint shitposting if the board theme is lets say nintendo and someone busts in and talks how sony is superior. You can easily ban him while on /v/ it's a fucking opinion that sparks at least 300 posts of garbage.
>>
So which board would a game made by a western dev but exclusive on the PS4 or WiiU be discussed?

Anyway, only about 10% of the games I play are Jap. I don't care either way if its split or not.

I personally don't give a shit about modern AAA western games, and I certainly don't give a shit about videogame culture, game reviews, streamers, let's players and feminist garbage, that alone makes a potential /vj/ board worth having.

Two years ago nobody cared if you posted an anime reaction image on /v/. It was normal.
Now, if you post an anime reaction image the content of your post will be ignored and you'll get a lot of replies of people triggered by your image.
Most of /v/ enjoyed both japanese and western game, but nowadays /v/ is filled by people from neogaf or other sites, people that mostly hate japanese games and constantly try to force their hate for them on the entire board.

All these

posters not realizing this is already being done and it isn't solving shit.

Seriously, I don't know how the jannies/mods keep themselves sane.

Besides /vr/ has great quality discussion and is never "raided" by /v/ or anything, so this is prove that there are pieces of /v/ that can be salvaged into new boards.
>>
The threads are off topic. Visual Novels explicitly belong in /vg/, just like they always were. You people forget that before /vg/ was made, Visual Novels were discussed on /v/ because there was nowhere better to discuss them. Once /vg/ came along, all the VN threads moved there and there hasn't been a problem since.

This case is no different. You can and should dicuss VNs on /vg/.
>>
>>349185
I honestly forgot this was a problem.

This is a precedent for a split like this hurting both boards, if you want to say "we don't know what will happen, better not bother with other solutions and do something drastic!".

>>349194
I don't care about any of those either. I only browse /v/ for things like this: >>>/v/316684682

A new board should be made for all the LP/stream/vg children's show variety hour-type "content" and video game meta-culture/drama clogging /v/ as a containment board. /v/ would welcome that, most of the board doesn't like it.

>>349199
/v/ isn't one person, it's a pooling of different-sized groups of people with different reasons for acting the way they do. Some faggots dislike any images that have an eastern art style, some are just mad about constant shitposting involving anime images and also stupid so they group everyone posting those images as shitposters, some don't give a shit about anime but prefer /v/ images, some love anime images, and so on.

>>349205
>implying /vr/ was a bad idea

>>349222
I don't understand how a single mod being removed and replaced isn't a viable step to making the board better, but cleaving the board in half is.

Most of /v/ doesn't even dislike that visual novel when I've seen it brought up, but every single thing over there that could be vulnerable to being shitposted is at least a little bit nowadays.
>>
I was against this, but all the fallout posting has got me wanting a split.

VE for eastern games.

VW for western games

V for culture, esports, and SJW shenanigans.
>>
>>349268
So should Phoenix Wright, Danganronpa, Life is Strange, etc be all moved to /vg/ as well? That's fucking retarded. Teaching Feeling has about as much gameplay as all of those. It's a raising sim like Princess Maker.

By the way, that rule was created mostly because of KS and was never seriously enforced on /v/. There were always plenty of threads about VNs there without some faggot mod meddling with them. There's no reason to enforce it based on completely subjective bullshit. The only real answer to Teaching Feeling threads being deleted by a lone mod is him getting personally offended by the content of the game and trying to use that "rule" as an scapegoat for this actions.
>>
>>349286
Stop banevading on /v/.
>>
>>349286
If those are VNs than yes, they should be moved.

You people are making a big fit about nothing. The mods obviously consider it a VN, so you should discuss it on /vg/. Whether the mods are right or wrong about it being a VN is ultimately irrelevant, it doesn't hurt you to go to /vg/ to talk about it.

This is your argument.

And it's not "the mods". It's literally just one mod. He doesn't speak for the entire team or the administration.

It's about not having Fallout 4 threads spammed constantly, it's about not having 547556 Undermemetale threads daily, it's about retards not derailing and shitposting anime games threads.

E-celeb shit and board "culture" aka memes is easy to remove, it's not vidya, just enforce the rules and move it to /trash/. Also e-celebs and "culture" are mostly a western thing, so for people who play mostly nip games it's good and since you get triggered by anime and "weebshit" you'll get to enjoy a weebshit free subre-I mean board so it's double win.

/v/ is flooded with JRPG discussion and weebshit. I didn't even include any of the non-JRPG Nintendo-related topics that comprises 40% of the topics in this image.

If you're not going to split /v/ into western video games and eastern video games, at least give JRPGs their own board. Dragon Quest is a much more popular game than Pokemon in Japanese culture, yet it doesn't have its own board. MonHun, another extremely popular series for otakus, can even find a home on a /jrpg/ board.

If this were to happen, Nintendo should have a separate board from both. Nintendo is of course a Japanese company, and thus wouldn't be allowed in the Western boar, but Nintendo's style is very different from the typical anime-esque designs you see in other /vj/ topics like Senran Kagura or Neptunia.

Also, would western games developed exclusively for the Japanese Sony consoles, like Little Big Planet, Infamous, etc go to /vw/ or /vj/? On the one hand they're western titles with heavy western influences, but on the other hand, games exclusive to Sony consoles would likely find better discussion on /vj/ which would likely be populated mostly by Sony fans.

Kek. Do Nintendrones really believe this? Link looks like a typical animu fuccboi, Animal Crossing is moeshit, Pokemon is anime, etc. "Anime" does not consist of just one style. Plus, there are a lot of "Japanesey" games on the 3DS as well. If you're a Nintendrone who doesn't like "weebshit" then the only thing you're getting to play are mediocre Mario rehashes.

When there's nothing but shitposting otherwise? Sure.
>>
>>350764
Nobody really cared about the content sharing space, and then mods on /d/ suddenly started actually enforcing the rule that they had been ignoring for literally years.
And then mods or janitors on /aco/ apparently didn't get the memo and started deleting western /d/ threads, and now /aco/ is just western /d/ when some people thought it would be nsfw /co/.
So basically, nobody is happy except for a small group of weebs who might not even have gone on /d/ to begin with, since their concerns about western stuff on /d/ were entirely unheard of before the split.
>>
>>350764
/d/ was made for weird fetish hentai, but over the years quality western stuff was posted without problems. Then /aco/ was made and mods went apeshit, deleting anything vaguely western. /d/ is upset because there's less content. /aco/ is upset because there's dumb fetish shit they don't want.

It pisses me off when these fuckers from Reddit admit that Reddit is for serious posting while they only use /v/ to funpost. We have gotten to the point where the mods can't do anything
anymore because the board is so overcrowded that threads move way too fast. It's over saturated and quite honestly we need a split more than ever

Eestern game has shitposters and people posting negative criticism in every thread. It just sounds like you can't handle opinions despite there being a lot of funpost threads about East>West.

Don't split them into vj and vw, just add vj and leave v as it is.
>>
>>352628
Personally, I don't care about this guy pushing the victimization complex shit. Westakeks are retarded shit-eating casuals and their opinions should be ignored as a result. I want a Jap-only /v/ because I believe it would be a genuinely high quality board. There would be no e-eceleb shit, no inane bitching about SJWs/feminism, no redditors flooding the board because of the latest AAA casual Western trash to be released, etc. Just people talking about vidya with some waifu threads in the mix.
>>
>>352667
I don't get the casual remark when Jap-only threads like DOA or Blazblue play the game purely for the casual features. I wouldn't be surprised if the userbase of a /vj/ was complete garbage at video games.
>>
>>352668
In general, Japanese games are much more challenging than Western ones. Even JRPGs have more depth to them than modern WRPGs these days.
>>
>>352669
That's a load of bullshit with a few exceptions, but it doesn't matter because you will play the most casual options available to you and avoid any challenging confrontation.
>>
>>352672
Blazblue and DOA aren't more "casual" than the most hardcore modern Western game there is and you know it. Out of the popular releases this year, the most challenging games were Bloodborne, Monster Hunter 4U, Super Mario Maker.
>>
Splitting /v/ like that is a dumb idea. It won't improve the board (or fragments, rather) by a single bit, instead it'll just increase the total posts per minute even further and require a whole lot more hotpocket power to babysit as a result, because now you have two pretty fast boards instead of one super fast one. Not to mention the "our camp vs. their camp" shitposting, which is bad enough as it is and making a definite split would just encourage the shitflinging apes even more.

Not to mention the nasty gray area it creates for a whole metric shitload of legitimate vidya topics. If it's a jap/western split, is PS* Japanese and Xbox 'murican? What about PC and other such platforms? And if it's the unbelievably idiotic MS/Sony/PC split, what about multiplat games? Do you post those on every single board?


If you want to "fix" /v/, activate nazi mode and start doling out hardcore bans over the inane console war shitflinging, Twitter drama and other junk. That's what is actually shitting up the board, not people posting about what you think are the wrong video games. Enforcing "my side vs. their side" splits is only going to drown out the remaining shards of discussion in drama, mod confusion, endless shitposting and other equally wonderful things.
>>

Nazi-mode /v/ would be much better than a split, but that might be too difficult at this point without nuking the board.

If /vj/ is created, there will finally be a concrete board to talk about visual novels without fear of deletion instead of having discussion split across /a/, /jp/, /v/ (until they started to be deleted recently), and /vg/.

I haven't seen a VN thread on /jp/ be deleted in a long time. I mentioned that /v/ has been having most of its VN threads be deleted recently.

But right now, there's a Katawa Shoujo thread on /v/, despite it being the reason /vg/ was created. And there's a thread on /qa/ requesting to know the status of VN threads on /v/, one in particular. This might just be inconsistent moderation, but I think posters just want some clarity.

> /wv/ - Western console gaming. Discussion of multiplats that are on PC would be acceptable too, but PC-specific things like modding would go on /pcv/ instead.

Also, if I were an anime fan, I'd be ecstatic to find boards devoted to different genres. I mean, we already have /m/.

>I'd be ecstatic to find boards with people of same interest that i can circlejerk with while avoiding everything I don't like
How about no and you fuck off to a different website if you want that sort of cancerous environment. /a/ nor /v/ needs a split, as splits don't fix any problems and only makes the places genuine shitholes
>>
>>356690
Actually a moe board would be nice since it remove the most cancerous posters of /a/.
>>
>>356708
Agreed anon. Then us mature anime fans can talk about our manime made for a deep and mature audience such as ourself
>>
>>356702
/a/ was split into five boards ages ago and they're all doing fine except /jp/.
>>
>>356714
Those are all mostly image dumping grounds, with the exception of /jp/ and /m/. I can't remember why /m/ was split, but /jp/ content isn't anime or manga, its content thats 'related' to /a/ but not actually /a/
>>
>>356690
All of it should get the ban hammer but there's way too many threads about them to delete, many slip by the mods.

That's why a split could help at least a little bit.

>making ANOTHER video game board
splitting /v/ worked really well the last few times, r-right guys?
>>
>>349062
What about Metal Gear?

>>349090
>Is /a/ jealous of /pol/ getting 2 satellite boards so now they're trying to re-appropriate the /v/ content they want into a board and leaving everyone else out to dry?

You know the answer to that. Of course they are
>>
>>349095
4chan hasn't been an anime focused site since /b/ became le anonymous legion
>>
>>358377
Reminder that /a/ wasn't even the first board. 4chan was never ever an anime site, despite what the weeaboos like to spout
>>
>>358562
Umm yes it was. moot even said that. The whole point of 4chan was so that moot and some weebs from SA could have a place to discuss anime
>>
>>356690
That's because >>356686
are good ideas. Current /v/ cannot survive like this anymore. I'm still more in favor of just having a board for Western Gaming and Eastern Gaming.

It was funny, just a month ago people thought more moderation would hlep. But now they realize it won't do any good since the mods have shown they do not care
>>
>>352745
>If you want to "fix" /v/, activate nazi mode and start doling out hardcore bans over the inane console war shitflinging, Twitter drama and other junk. That's what is actually shitting up the board, not people posting about what you think are the wrong video games. Enforcing "my side vs. their side" splits is only going to drown out the remaining shards of discussion in drama, mod confusion, endless shitposting and other equally wonderful things.
The mods are too lazy to do that though. /v/ is way too large and goes way too fast to be properly moderated. Word filters would help though, but a split at this point is needed. Also its not that complicated: Japanese made games go on Jap /v/ and Western games go on West /v/. Simple as that
>>
Because splitting /d/ worked great too, right?
>>
>>358688
False equivalence. There was never any reason to split /d/. There is, however, a number of major reasons to split /v/.
>>
>>358689
False equivalence. Appeal to ignorance. Unsourced "facts". Opinion as fact. Bloviation. Bears.
Beets.
Battlestar Galactica.
>>
>>358691
I don't need to list the facts when it should be common knowledge by now that /v/ is the most populous board and its because of /v/'s popularity and reputation of poor moderation that off-topic posting occurs there way too often.
>>
>>358692
You're saying that everyone else needs to be factually correct but you don't because you're special somehow.
That's cute. In the trrrrash with ya
>>
>>358693
Don't you think an eastern video game board would be more enjoyable than a common video game board?
>>
>>358304
Yes, it did. Are you one of those people who thinks splits are meant to magically 100% fix a board? No, that's not their purpose. It's to make it less-shit. That's it.
>>358343
>What about Metal Gear?
Other people have said not to split /v/, but to create another /v/ where people could only discuss Jap games. Regular /v/ would still allow jap games. I imagine regular-/v/ would allow non-"anime" ones like Metal Gear and Resident Evil, whereas a /vj/ would allow non-"anime" and "anime" games.
>>
Just create /jv/ and leave /v/ as it is like a monument to what happens thanks to ">muh secrit club" attitude.
>>
Rather than creating a new board, why not just move anime games to /jp/?
>>
>>358726
Because /jp/ ostensibly has its own userbase and community and it would be kinda rude to take over their board, which is what would happen since weeb gamers outnumber /jp/sies by at least a hundred to one.
>>
>>358780
Wrestling threads recently got moved from /sp/ to /asp/. It wouldn't be the first time that a niche board has had to expand its userbase.

Besides, everyone who likes anime games is more than likely an otaku anyway so they wouldn't have a very hard time adjusting to the board culture. And seeing how Japanese visual novels already belong on /jp/, moving all anime games to that board is a logical step.
>>
>>358880
This. Its more likely people from /jp/ and the weebs from /v/ will get along. Again we're still waiting for Hiro to get on here already
>>
>>358602
I'd be fine with just having western /v/ and eastern /v/ too. I mean, I'm the one who suggested a PC gaming board and a meta board, but those could be added later on if necessary.
>>
>>358880
/jp/ gets along so ludicrously badly with the other boards that people don't even post Japanese visual novels in /jp/.

>>358882
I don't think you've visited /jp/ even once in your life.
>>
>>359064
Yeah well tough shit most of the real talk about Japan went to /int/. Its just Touhou shit now
>>
>>358726
Because fuck you that's not what's going to happen.
We're taking all japanese games with us or nothing.
>>
>>358880
The /jp/ natives are already upset over having KanColle and Monstergirl threads moved there, since they're both large for a slower board like /jp/. Like >>358780 aid.
>>
>>358880
I don't think it's going to stay that way for long. Chances are good that WWE will move to /tv/ instead.
>>
damn it Hiro where are you?
