Everyone who has been on this board before 2008 is aware of the rampant cancer that is currently infesting 4chan and all of the entry level boards like /a/, /v/, /pol/, /co/, and /fit/.
Your average page 0 on /a/ is almost always 49% porn, moe, waifu faggotry (basically just porn.) and 50% cancer, battle shonen threads, entry level moe threads, bad trolling attempts, failed doubles etc. There is about 1% manga threads on page 0 each day, and 99.9% of the times it is either entry level (Berserk) or cancer (HxH, Bleach, One Piece).
All of the oldfags who watched good anime like Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Trigun, LoGH (before it became meme cancer), Nakamura works, Kon works, Evangelion (before it became meme cancer) have moved on from this board to /r9k/ or other oldfag boards. What's left is a constant barrage of cancerous newfags and their participation in memethreads like SnK and JoJo generals.
Further proof of the cancer is easy to find. /a/ is the NUMBER 1 board where anons post using the noun "/a/" in some random generalization, even more so than /v/. You can't even say you haven't seen "what does /a/ think of this" "why does /a/ hate this" in the last 24 hours.
The answer is newfags. It's time for chemotherapy. What I propose to moot and the moderators through this post is a simple solution to this rampant cancer. First, split /a/ into two parts, one for newfag cancer and one for oldfags. The newfag cancer board is permitted to have memethreads like moe, porno, battle shonens, monogatari, madoka, etc. The oldfag thread will only discuss good anime and manga, at a precise 50/50 ratio. Any participant of /newa/ will be ID tagged by the 4chan system, and will be permanantly banned if they ever attempt to visit /olda/ without first completing a 10 Question Test on Ghost in the Shell philosophy. If they fail, they will be redirected to /newa/ and permanantly banned from /olda/.
You're not even putting effort into it, OP. /a/ hasn't changed as much as you think it did.

I'm running into a lot of Kiniro Mosaic pictures ever since finally watching that show a few weeks ago. Is it just popular, or am I just noticing it more now that I've watched it?
>>330009

Kirino Mosaic has been around for a while. I have to see season 2, though. I like to watch cute little girls doing girly things.

Granted, it's on a slow board, but still.
>>330037
That's why it's fun.

Aw, so that manlet Quentin DOES shitpost on /a/ too! That explains so much about the rampant shitpost lately!
>>330000

>>330037
Kinpatsu isn't the name of the show. You basically just said Karen is great and then that you hate her.

>>330049
But I wasn't talking about the show, I was saying that blonde hair is great thus implying that girls with blonde hair are great but then I had to make an exception because Karen is a shit even while she has blond hair.
>>330061
>But I wasn't talking about the show
>ruining every episode
>>330061
There's nothing wrong with Karen, desu yo.
>>330063
That's was the explanation of why Karen is an exception even though she has blond hair.
>>330068
Why don't you like her, though?
I always find it weird when people dislike slice of life characters. Unless they're straight up physically abusing one of the other characters there's rarely any logical reason to hate them. It's like hating a puppy.
>>330071
She is an annoying spoiled brat, her jokes are not funny and she steals screen time to Alice.
She is not even gay.

/u/ pls
After 11 years of work, I finally finished the ultimate meme. His name is Cool Shirts Guy. It's ridiculously amazing and has all kinds of epic jokes. Only I can post this meme because I am the best memer in the world. I am the best. No one is better than me, because, as previously stated, I am the best in the world at meming. I know I'm being modest, so I should say this meme was easy to make, because, as stated, I'm the best there is. This meme is perfect, hands down. Anyone who says it isn't perfect will have their comment deleted, blocked from my account, blocked from 4chan, computer destroyed with a hammer, and you will be killed by my millions of fans at the snap of my fingers, because I can demand that much respect, because I'm the best. Hope you enjoy my meme. His name is Cool Shirts Guy.

What? She's so gay she's the only one with the balls to kiss other girls. And how is she even bratty? Spoiled maybe, but being spoiled isn't inherently bad if you're a good person. I mean, she gives her friends free stuff all the time. I wish I had Karen as a friend... I wish I had friends.
>>330033
>>330111
Indeed. Having Karen as a friend is more valuable than the greatest of treasures.
>>330089
This was so cringeworthy that I read meme as "Mem A".

Anime is all adolescent shit, it's not "art" or "philosophical" no matter how much you want it to be. Just have the weebs have their fun, stop trying to be an intellectual for watching chinese fap cartoons.
>>330198
This. Anime is for underage children and fedoralords.

Anime isn't Japanese culture, fuck off weebshits. Pasty fat fucks. If you went to Japan people would turn away from you in disgust.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. - C.S. Lewis

>didn't even bother to update it and replace moot with hiro
Come on, at least put effort into your shitposting, you have to have some pride in your work.
>>330402
I think that interpretation is debatable. A pic is worth 1000 words, for instance, and can denote quality without the text portion of the post coming into relevance.
>>330396
The ones who hate anime are the worst at it I've noticed. Makes sense, they're pathetic enough to stoop to insulting people for liking freaking cartoons. Of course they wouldn't have any actual talents or anything going for them in their lives.
>>330411
It's really not that debatable. Grammar, capitals and the like are apart of the English language, a crucial part of it. Lacking that shit is not quality in any form
If you tried to release a book through a publisher without that shit, it wouldn't go through, because it'd fail QC

It is entirely debatable. English was already a horrible language before the internet, when words like 'LOL' were added to the official Oxford unabridged dictionary. Now it's even worse off.
Nobody likes a grammar nazi, not even actual Nazis. Complaining about banal and inane things like grammar or syntax are the true hallmarks of 'lack of quality' posting, not being grammatically incorrect.

Hi Quentin
>>330444
I like this idea.
And nice trips.
Reminder that Quentin is the cu*kold spammer on /tv/ and the child porn spammer from the man drama general on /sp/
>>330572
Underrated post
Protip: /a/ has been cancer since its inception. It was Gaia-esque AMV cancer pre-2006, it was cancer during Code Geass, Lucky Star, Haruhi, and Gurren Lagann, it was cancer during Madoka and Dubs Threads, it was cancer during the transition from moot to hiro, and it is CANCER NOW.
You think it's bad NOW? You should have been on there from 2008-2010 when Accelspammer was spamming the board nonstop. Accelspammer is one of the reasons WE EVEN HAVE THIS CAPTCHA. /a/ is a PARADISE compared to how it USED to be (see screencap, KoG has moved on to /b/ and other boards now). Just because people are discussing anime that YOU don't like doesn't mean it's bad.
Don't like Naruto? Then GET. OFF. THE. BOARD. Hating Naruto/Bleach/One Piece/DBZ/ARC-V doesn't give you the right to stop people's discussion of it. There's a little button with a + sign on it; when you click it, it HIDES THE THREAD.
And I know OP is copypasta. I'm posting this so my reply becomes copypasta too. :^)

Slice of Life moe-shit did not even exist in plentiful number until 2007. Anyone that thinks old /a/ and neo-/a/ are the same thing has no idea what they are talking about.

I propose a new petition.
Ban anyone who proposes cancerous board-splits so they can have their own 'seekrit club' split off from the same rabble that has existed since their board opened up. Make the ban last 24 hours to simulate how a real 'board split' would result for them.
All in favor?
This was going well when it was a Kinmoza thread and then all the anti-anime retards decided to show up.
>>331380
That's why they should be permabanned.

Ban all anime spammers. Anime is cancerous, and you all only use it to shitpost anyway.
You wouldn't use it to shitpost if you didn't know it was unwelcome on 4chan.
Face it: 90% of this site hates anime. That means you are all objectively outsiders on this site, and need to go. I don't care where, but you don't belong here.
>>331409
Nice try reddit.
>>331409
Ban all normalfag spammers. Normalfags are cancerous and you're all here only to shitpost anyway.
You wouldn't br shitposting if you didn't know that normalfaggotry was unwelcome on 4chan, an anime website.
Face it: 100% of the actual userbase on this site hates normalfaggotry. That means you are all objectively outsiders on this site, and need to go. I don't care where, but you don't belong here.
Ban all Karen spammers. Karen is cancerous, and you all only use her to shitpost anyway.
You wouldn't use her to shitpost if you didn't know she was unwelcome on 4chan.

This argument has always been retarded, Naturo just simply isn't allowed. Allowing it encourages newfags to come and post because of how much of a gateway anime it is. As such, you ban it to decrease newfaggotry
>>331579
Ban all anime. Then there would be no new faggotry at all on /a/.
