This discussion began last week at >>316518 and I feel there was a lot of good input, but nothing ever actually came of it as far as some general consensus. Since tonight is when it airs, I figured it was best to wait until now to revive the discussion so the thread's usual posters would have an adequate opportunity to respond. When the thread goes up tonight on >>>/co/ , I will be sure to make a reply there linking to this.
We really need definite resolution of this issue. /co/-based posters nearly had a riot in the last thread, and the /a/-based posters acted little better. The thread at >>329996 suggests this isn't the only issue going on with /a/ at the moment, combined with the lingering effects of what I have personally dubbed "Nipplemodgate".
I will try to be on Rizon under the same nick for the night in case anyone has anything they feel best said in a less hostile environment, though I do have work to do and may not respond immediately. Keep in mind also that ad-homenim attacks on me and/or the userbase of a board, while not forbidden under the rules here, are certainly unproductive and only serve to make their user look like an obtuse tool.
Actually pretty much everyone agreed except for you. You're just denying reality at this point and no one should give you responses
>>331455
Don't change anything and keep it as is.
When is derp_commander going to get banned from /qa/ for making terrible threads?
>tripfag
>making a new thread after getting BTFO
>irc
>>>/trash/
>>331455
Why should Hiro punish people just because one dude is super butthurt about a set of general threads that don't fuck up the quality of the board?
>no consensus
Seems like the overwhelming consensus was it belongs in the Trash desu.
With /co/ as the runner up. And I'm willing to bet the only person who voted it to go on /a/ was you.
Tough titties, literally nobody agrees with you. Deal with it senpai.
Fuck off. No one on either side wants to move
>>331575
The only legal topic which is nevertheless forbidden sitewide appears to be pony porn. Unless you intend to start the ball rolling down the slippery slope, I don't think "trash" is a legitimate option.
Also, again, straw polls are not a substitute for thoughtful, deliberative discussion. They're too easy to game anyway, especially with the technical skill of this site's userbase.
>>331575
>made this poll as a joke knowing no one wanted the general on /a/
>a few days later there is literally a /trash/ board
D-did I contribute to this?
>>331455
No. Go back to /co/, fuck what they want.
Dubbed anime has no place on /a/.
>>331587
Doubtful. It seems to have been made at the behest of /mlp/: >>330582
Yes, I know the picture is from /v/, but it was too good to resist.
>majority of people in the last thread want it on /co/
>majority of people in the generals want them to stay on /co/
>majority of /a/ is vocally against it bring put on /a/
>mods want it on /co/
>even with joke answer almost nobody voted for /a/ in the strawpoll
How is this not a consensus? Just because you disagree doesn't mean that matter hasn't been agreed upon by the majority.
Seriously explain yourself.
>>331618
/qa/ is the only board where his threads are guaranteed to get more than 5 replies
>>331618
As I recall, most of the people from /co/ wanted it off their board, one way or another. It really doesn't work well with the /co/mmunity.
>>331625

Nice try
>>331455
>Toonami
Isn't that just a programming block? Why would you even need a fucking general for something like that?
Doesn't matter. It's a western block and it probably airs both anime and cartoons, meaning, it doesn't belong on /a/ at all, fuck off. Toonami isn't anime or related to it in anyway, as such it doesn't go there. If you want to discuss a show in that slot, make a thread for the show, not a Toonami thread.
>>331632
It's called toonami general but it's basically a containment livewatch thread on saturday.
>>331632
Actually, Toonami has been on an all-anime schedule since January. That's part of why I think a reconsideration of its traditional location is warranted.
>>331625
>as I recall
You recall incorrectly. It was one guy raging on the last thread and a number of other /co/ people were standing up for it. So unless you can link me to an actual archive or thread (make it recent) then you're talking out of your ass. Whether you oersonally think it fits in on /co/ is irrelevant.
>inb4 you don't respond to this post because you have no argument
>>331632
It's only anime for the time being but it still doesn't belong on /a/. Only the individual shows. If anything I guess it'd belong on /TV/
>>331641
> It was one guy raging on the last thread
The one guy was him. He remade his own thread.
>>331639
No, that means fuck all
CN airs anime too you know and has periods it airs only anime. Are we going to allow CN generals on /a/ now as well? No, we aren't. Because its a fucking western channel made for a western audience, just like Toonami is a western block to air shows for a western audience. It doesn't belong on /a/, even more so since you can just make threads for the individual things broadcasted. Funi/CR threads aren't even allowed and 404 if the mods aren't being lazy
>>331644
No, all of my posts were under my trip. There were others who were actually a lot more vocal than me, surprisingly.
>>331641
>It's only anime for the time being but it still doesn't belong on /a/. Only the individual shows. If anything I guess it'd belong on /TV/
Yeah, it probably should've gone on /tv/, but moot declared it belonged on /co/, so it's stuck there.
>>331587
That single vote for /a/ gets me every time.
>>331657
The previous post, as listed above, has a series of links to previous discussions on the topic. Feel free to comb through them.
>>331669
Except we've already shown that the first thread in this OP had only a handful of people (including you) wanting it off /co/ and the second thread is entirely irrelevant. You previous OP links are all topics that are literally years old and therefore not valid. Please provide some proofs or fuck off.
>>331671
I wish I could, except for the slight problem that archive.moe outright lost four months of archives, and the remainder are not yet fully online at their new hosts. But I will keep looking, once I get some of my work done.
>>331677
Anything relevant will be in the archive. It's quite clear the consensus is that it should stay on /co/ though. How can you even deny the FACT that most people are fine with it on /co/? Seems like some sort of cognitive dissonance or willfull density in my opinion.
The general is up right now and not a single person is shitposting in it because they think it goes on another board
Everyone agrees it goes on /co/ but you. Fuck off
>>331455
>Nipplemodgate
>>331776
Nice Indubpendence.
People kept calling the mod "nipplemod", so I figured a funny name for the incident would be "nipplemodgate". Simple as that.
>>331783
>i should add gate to any form of drama for some stupid reason
Don't be retarded. It was barely anything of actual importance, it was just 1 mod going rouge and trying to change /a/ to how he wants it. He was quickly beaten back into place and the status quo returned
>>331813
I have to give it some kind of name in order to succinctly reference it.
>>331815
Then you just say Nipplemod, there's no need for the gate. It's retarded and you're retarded for feeling the need to add it
>>331819
That would refer to just the mod, not to the shitstorm he caused.
>>331584
>he thinks it requires "technical skill" to rig a straw poll
Literally reddit.
>he is in the Toonami thread right now
>they all hate him
Top jej
>>331845
no, but it helps, even just a little.
>>331858
>literally no one likes him
Heh
Tripfags should all be IP-range banned
>>331875
Nah, just you.
>>331880
Put it back on faggot
>>331885
Done.
>>331911
One of those is a new IP while the others aren't, you brain dead moron. If you're going to claim samefagging, atleast know what you're fucking doing
>>331917
kek
>>331942
That's rude, nothing about his post indicates that he's into netorare.
>>331950
No, I typed it out literally, k-e-k.
I believe Toonami should go on /a/, since it is anime discussion. It goes nowhere else.
>>332075
Toonami isn't made by the Japs, so its not anime and doesn't belong on /a/
>>332080
Toonami is like 5 anime at the same time.
/a/ is not "Japanese anime content," its just "anime." That means it includes Western content that is Anime. And that means Toonami is /a/.
>>332091
>western content
>anime
Pick one
>>332091
>Western content that is Anime
Western content by definition can not be anime. Anime is stuff made by the Japs or atleast they have some big role in it, made with the intention of Japs being the main audience. Cartoons is stuff made by the west, for the west. Simple as that
Toonami is by the west and for the west, as such, its not /a/, its /tv/ and /co/
>>332094
Anime is anime, whether you put two or three together or its just one by itself.
>western content
>anime
That's not what Japan says 2bh
>>332096
You should actually learn something about Japan if you're going to be a weaboo
>>332107
So anime stops being anime once it's in the west?
Sounds like you're intentionally trying to keep anything that isn't moeshit out of your hugbox.
>>332119
I think your inferior brain is misunderstanding.
You can discuss the shows being aired on toonami, but not the fact that they are on toonami or the toonami block (and you'll get banned for mentioning toonami for inciting shitposting), that a show is airing in toonami is not to say you can't discuss it, but the block is off-limits, the general is for livewatching purposes, so it's essentialy a western block general, not about the anime.
I agree it shouldn't be on /co/ either, but they have the right to decide if they want it.
>>332119
No you're free to discuss the anime that airs on the western channel/block on /a/ just not the channel/block. No one is barring the shows from our board it's not complicated
>>332128
>"inciting shitposting"
Maybe they should just ban the actual shitposter.
But nah, you ¢uckolds just want your mods to tell you what you're allowed to talk about.
Shameful.
>>332137
No one on /a/ wants Toonami on /a/. If we idi it would be there
>>332137
On the contrary, mods follow the will of the board or face backlash, a mod even got doxx'd in 2013 for not doing so.
Fun fact: you lost the word c uck because of /a/, wordfiltering normalfag shitposting like t b h and c uck has been one of the main demands of /a/, how does it feel to be beholden to the whims of weebs?
>>332145
>one of the least important boards with some of the lowest traffic
>rest of the site is beholden to their psychotic shitposters
Why is /a/ just not outright deleted again? There are no common interests between /a/ and the rest of the website.
>>332150
>some of the lowest traffic
[Citation needed]
Also that's because it's /a/'s site desu
>>332152
>/a/'s site
>4chan
Anime is not a hobby
>>332150
Not only is /a/ the first board together with /b/ and the spiritual center of 4chan now that /b/ is lost, Depending on the time of day it's between the fifth and seventh largest board, second class anon.
It's also the only big board not rendered useless by shitposting, that has a somewhat cohesive board culture and opinions, and from which almost all top moderation comes from. Another fun thing: hiro knows jack shit of english as you know, so the mods that know nip constatly act as translators: from what board do you think they are? /pol/?
It's only just that /a/ dictates the way.
>>332150
Because we earned our right as king of the mountain. And until we are toppled, i.e. never, that's the way it will stay.
Faggot.
>>332153
Sweet meme kid
>Hobby: An activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.
>Activity: A thing that a person or group does or has done.
>>332150
Because 4chan is a website made for discussing niche hobbys, one of the main ones it was for is anime. /a/ is a core board and its opinion will always be valued one of highest. It doesn't matter what the rest of the site says, because the majority of the rest of the site come here not for niche discussion but because "4chan is for shitposting", as such what they say and think means fuck all
It doesn't matter, because with Bunny in place and with what he has been doing, the site is going back to its roots like Moot wanted, and anime is here to stay and is allowed site-wide
If this bothers you, maybe 4chan just isn't for you, shitposter-kun
>>332174
>/a/ is the core of 4chan
Where is this maymay from
>>332181
From the past, present and future of the site. Not only it's correct to use anime pics, but knowing it triggers normalfags like you makes it even better.
This is a weebsite run by weebs for weebs, you are secondary, tough luck anon.
>>332181
From the very start when moot split
>/b/ - Anime/Random
to
>/b/ - Random
>/a/ - Anime
And it always will be
>>332225
moot also ran the site into the ground. Not the best judge of how to run a site.
>>332237
That doesn't change the fact the sites main point of existence is anime
https://desustorage.org/co/thread/77315804/#77316706
I think the stupid motherfucker got banned.
>>334008
Based /co/ mod. Today, I'm going to put down the Chinese cartoons and pick up something western as a sign of my appreciation
>>334008
A shame it won't be permanent
>asked for opinions last night in the general
>not one person wants to be on /a/ because of their elitism
Why is OP so desperate for a move that no one on either side wants?
Mods need to start deleting these threads.
Fuck off already, tripfag.
>>334025
I'm amazed how /co/ has come around to toonami, when we kicked it out and mods decided it was to go there they were quite buttmad
>>334025
>>not one person wants to be on /a/ because of their elitism
>people are still upset that /a/ doesnt want newfags
>>334223
They aren't upset. They KNOW /a/ doesn't like newfags and that's why they don't want to move
>>334051
Toonami threads have a heavily enforced thread limit, 1 during the week for ratings and as many as needed on Saturday between 7:50-3am. Any others are deleted on sight. I think this is the agreed upon compromise that everyone is happy with.
