Complaining about anime and derailing threads with anti-anime shitposting should be a bannable offense.
I've seen too many threads derailed because some redditor/outsider came to 4chan and started bitching at people using anime reaction pics.
Their reasoning is that the anime is "off topic shit that belongs on /a/" and yet their bitching and moaning is much more disruptive than even the worst anime avatarfags.
>anime posters being told to fuck off to >>>/a/
>anime posters respond with "this is anime imageboard"
>someone posts "2007 is that way.jpg"
>people call each other "pedo" and accuse each other of being redditors
>thread reaches bump limit with no on-topic discussion, only flaming
>>360363
Every time I see someone complain about anime on 4chan I get the mental picture of either a nigger or some white trash wannabe eminem swagfag.
I literally can't imagine anyone else being so upset about it.
>anime posters respond with "this is anime imageboard"
To be fair, they're wrong.
But maybe I'm wrong. What does 4chan say it is?
>4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images. There are boards dedicated to a variety of topics, from Japanese animation and culture to videogames, music, and photography. Users do not need to register an account before participating in the community. Feel free to click on a board below that interests you and jump right in!
What part says that this is an anime imageboard? And don't go by history lest I have to school you about why /a/ and /b/ had to split from the original anime/random very early on in the site's history and why.
That said, yes, people who cry about it are fags. But so are people who cry about pastel horses. Both are faggy to me, but like an adult I fucking ignore it.
If /qa/ is smart this thread will gracefully fall into the hands of the archive without much unrest being produce.
>>360371
If you don't like anime what are you even doing on a site where half the boards are all dedicated to japanese shit?
A couple of weeks ago I was browsing /int/ out of complete boredom and noticed that in one general thread a guy was whining because mods banned him for making fraudulent reports. Apparently the guy was reporting everyone posting anime reaction images in "his" general and was wondering why they punished him and not them.
>>360375
Because half the boards aren't dedicated to anime. Go on and tally them all up. Weeb boards vs non-weeb boards.
And it hasn't been the case since the beginning when FYAD pushed the original ADTRW anime lovers out and forced you guys into the ghetto of /a/ while they took /b/. FYAD mocked and launched a trolling crusade the likes of which wouldn't be seen until the media shitstorms caused by /b/ trolls years later. It made /a/ so mad that the very elitism you see today isn't due to being good. It never was. It was a way to basically kick out outsiders (FYAD users who became /b/) to avoid being trolled. And it hit home so hard it continues to be part of the culture of /a/ long after the original reason for it was all but lost.
Notice how none of the other weeb boards are elitist. They didn't get kicked out of their own board and suffer a split due to people who hated anime sharing the same home as they did originally. So, no, 4chan has never been a weeb site anymore than 4chan is a My Little Pony fan site despite /mlp/ and in some ways /trash/ existing.
So, there's lots for me to enjoy besides weeb crap. I go to /tg/ and other boards that are relevant to my interests.
>>360367
Its cutesy that triggers the male instinct of hating on something that shows weakness.
Flooding a thread with anime and spamming anime should be a bannable offense.
Posting a smug anime with a completely on topic comment should not be a bannable offense, and people should not get triggered by it.
The problem is smug anime faces trigger people, because people have thin skin and feel inferior to the smug anime.
>>360383
>Because half the boards aren't dedicated to anime. Go on and tally them all up. Weeb boards vs non-weeb boards.
It doesn't matter if there's a billion boards not dedicated to weeb subjects and one weeb board dedicated to weeb subjects. 4chan is a weeb site, created by a weeb for other weebs, and everyone is assumed to be a weeb, even when posting on a "non-weeb" board.
/v/ was created for weebs to talk about video games, not for gamers in general. /g/ was created for weebs to talk about computers, not for technology fans in generals. /k/ was created for weebs to talk about guns, not gun nuts in general. If you're not a weeb, you don't belong on this site any more than Somali belong in Sweden.
Brony guy tries to stir up discontent about anime again, film at 11.
>>360383
/b/ never used to get mad about anime, except the edgy chainsaw pic and moe caricatures, but even /a/ has their own moe caricature and whines about moeshit. But it's true that /b/ stopped being about anime.
>>360390
Except I just explained why you're wrong. You weren't even in the majority at the dawn of the site. You're certainly not the majority now either. You never were. Hence why the site caters to people who aren't weebs more than people that are.
But that's not bad. I'm not a faggot going "OMG ANIME BAN HE!" and shit. You can like it all you want. But to say this is a weeb site is objectively false given the actual people who use the site, board composition, and the site's history. Hell, 2ch and Futaba Channel aren't even fucking weeb sites and they're actually in fucking Japan. There are actual anime imageboards dedicated to weebs, like 4-ch.net (which is actually pretty good), but 4chan ain't one of them.
>>360382
Ha. I don't know why it is the case that so many of the people who report things are misreporting things that don't break any rules WHILE generally breaking the rules themselves. People have no self-awareness.
>>360393
/b/ never cared because the original group who kicked off the original /a/ guys were "ironic". FYAD is basically /s4s/. So, they never gave a fuck about anime, but it sure did rile up weebs to go "anime sucks" back in the early days and piss people off until they threw a fit. /b/ is the kinda board that doesn't give a fuck about anything, really. The only thing I remember really getting them upset was ponies, but that was recently long after newfags flooded the board and got mad that a pastel horse would make them look lame when they told their friends how badass they were for going there. Or maybe everyone just forgot how to ignore shit like we used to and it blew up. Either way it was funny watching both sides bitch and moan.
>>360401
>but that was recently long after newfags flooded the board and got mad that a pastel horse would make them look lame when they told their friends how badass they were for going there.
Well that's the newfag's fault for breaking #1 and #2.
>>360401
But is it just me or is it like there's actual newfags on this site now that really believe anime has no place here, and genuinely want to purge the site of it
>>360406
Yeah, there's plenty here. But that's also because anime is the unbannable pony now, so trolls use it a fuck of a lot more. So, they'll insert it everywhere and anywhere knowing it'll piss people off. Anime clearly has a place here given there's boards for it. I'm only arguing against the idea that it's a weeb site, not that anime doesn't belong.
>>360407
People should stop getting offended because its a weeb site, a weeb copy of a weeb site, not a free speech site, not a radical right wing site, not a gun rights site, not a body building site, not a game of thrones site, not a whatever the fuck people say 4chan stands for now site.
>>360407
Anime was made for anime, it's an anime site, now and forever.
Stop trying to worm your way out of this discussion.
Nobody should be told to fuck off to /a/ for posting an anime screencap just like nobody should be told to fuck off to /tv/ for posting bateman.
>>360412
*4chan was made for anime
>>360395
A lot of the earliest 4chan humor was based on weebery, and the idea that early 4chan funposters weren't weebs at all (which is not to say that none of them weren't) is just historical revisionism on your part, or on the part of whoever shared this narrative with you originally.
And even if your story of a 2003 weeb vs. anti-weeb war (as opposed to funposters messing with everyone, each other included) was true, it still doesn't change the fact that moot was a weeb, and created this site for other weebs to discuss their weebshit together.
> Hell, 2ch and Futaba Channel aren't even fucking weeb sites and they're actually in fucking Japan.
So? When people say 4chan was based on Jap sites, the point is that it was based on Jap sites because the founder of 4chan was such a fucking weeb he wanted to emulate a site from Japan, not that those Jap sites were also "weeb" sites.
>>360401
While I agree with you that these post 2010 weebs are insufferable, but I find that FYAD types and goons don't really hate anime so much as they are worried about their goon cred. They usually try to play off thier weeby tendencies as being ironic or something.
>>360395
>You weren't even in the majority at the dawn of the site.

In the baginning 4chan just used to stole futaba memes.
>2ch and Futaba Channel aren't even fucking weeb sites and they're actually in fucking Japan.
Do you know what weeb means?
these sites, specialy futaba are dedicated to otaku interests like aniota, denshaota, miliota etc.
>>360417
Not all were weebs, no. Go to IRC and ask a fucking mod yourself. I'm sure at least one of the remaining old timers is around and will tell you the same shit I just did. And, if not, go tweet at moot and ask him about it if you think I'm just pulling all this shit about it not being a weeb site from the very beginning out of my ass.
>>360421
forgot pic
>>360418
I'm talking about early FYAD. And, to be honest, I don't give a fuck about weebs enough to hate them. Lots of people come to 4chan and my home board was /b/. So, seeing anime or ponies or whatever doesn't really bother me. If they wanna watch little girls run around doing nothing and pretend it's great entertainment, more power to them. It's gay as fuck, but so are rate my dick threads, ponies, and tons of other shit. You ignore what you don't like and move on. Simple fix.
>>360427

I'm not gonna make a twitter account just to ask him that, but if you do have one ask him and I'll be checking out his profile to see if he responded.
>>360406
>genuinely want to purge the site of it
I think they just realize you guys are easy bait.
>>360425
2/10 aren't even weeb boards. That's 1/5. That ratio only grew with time in favor of boards that have nothing to do with anime. Count them up now and see how the numbers stack. And, it's no surprise, since /a/ and /b/ were split there. And /b/ was full of people who had just made /a/ piss its collective pants and cry for their own board away from the bullies.
>>360432
If it was bait, they wouldn't spend hours and hours fighting over it.
These people genuinely believe everyone needs to bend over backwards to cater to their sensibilities, on an anonymous imageboard of all places.
>>360431
I don't have a twitter either. Could always try his email if it still exists. I forget if he got rid of it or not when he left. Either way, anyone from back at that time would confirm what I've said. IRC might be your best bet on that front. Assuming you can get past the other sycophants all over the mod's dicks thinking it'll make them become mods.
>>360437
Also, forgot someone else you could ask. Negi Springfield. The tripfag/avatarfag that has been around since 4chan started as he was one of the first users. He's king weeb, basically. Even he'd confirm what I said. And I'm sure he'll pop in to check this shit since it talks about anime on 4chan.

and you think your anime posting is somehow different? You think you aren't guilty of the exact same shit?
/v/ sucks because every argument because SJW vs. GG or Eastern vs. Western
whenever there is a western game that sucked, there's that one dick gargling faggot that posts an anime reaction image making fun of people for buying a western game
Both of you start this shit and both of you can't stop sucking dicks. The people who complain about anime are better than you because they don't whine on /qa/ like children
>>360455
>The people who complain about anime are better than you because they don't whine on /qa/ like children
This is actually the first thread I've seen where the topic was complaining about people who complain about anime.
There's been tons of threads on /qa/ complaining about anime though.
>whenever there is a western game that sucked, there's that one dick gargling faggot that posts an anime reaction image making fun of people for buying a western game
sounds like some trolls found a pretty effective way to piss people off. So how is it the weebs that are complaining? because it sounds like you're the ones with the problem.
and furthermore, what makes you think they're are even serious, or even care about anime and not just posting that for the effect?
>>360395
>>Except I just explained why you're wrong. You weren't even in the majority at the dawn of the site. You're certainly not the majority now either. You never were.
The majority really doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is, the main point of the sites creation and existence is for anime and Japanese discussion
If you make a forum for discussing videos and the majority of the users on it only discuss anime and most hate video games, it doesn't suddenly make it a anime forum and not a videogame forum
Kill yourself weeaboo
>>360383
>caring about what FYAD did
Fuck off back to SA.
>>360383
Except 4chan pandering to non-weebs is what's killing it. And the cancers that are /b/ and /pol/ are to blame for this. Everyone who is not a weeb should be permabanned.

It's not just weebs, I think moot was right when he just said this place needs to go back to its geeky roots or something like that. It needs to be more hobbyist.
There's just too many normalfags.
>>360833
Thanks for proving me right, you piece of shit.
>>360833
Why not go a step further and roll all weeb boards into /a/ instead? Anime is dying as an artform anyway and as the fanbases shrink and the 'fans' mutate into creatures the earth has never known before, they need a place to watch the clock run out and pretend like they are still relevant. /a/ should always remain as the weeb containment for this reason.
>>360848
Because most of the other weeb boards have always hated /a/ and want nothing to do with them.
>>360849
If wrestling is a tv show that belongs on either /sp/ or /tv/ instead of /asp/ then the same logic should apply to /a/, which is also about /tv/ shows.
When I see weeb posters I imagine if they were as obsessed about The Simpsons or South Park as they are about Umaru. It really puts things in the proper perspective.
>>360855
I have a folder full of simpsons reaction pics just as I do a folder about umaru pics.
get rekt cunt
>>360867
Thanks for proving me right, you piece of shit.
>>360867
What's the point of saving all those Simpsons reaction images when they don't trigger normalfags anywhere near as effectively as hamster reaction images do?
>>360534
Relax, spergo. /a/ is still the fourth largest board aside from /v/ and /vg/. You know, nerd boards.
>>360873
Since when are video games considered nerdy?
>>360874
Because there's games that aren't AAA trash and Mario?

>>360895
I seriously hope you're not trying to imply that Valve, Blizzard, Bethesda, etc. games are in any way nerdy.
Playing Skyrim, WoW, or Dota 2 is about as nerdy as taking duckface selfies and uploading them to Facebook.
>>360899
Skyrim is AAA.
WoW has (had?) a strong userbase, but it's famous for being a nerd fantasy escape.
Also, when I said league of legends, I meant all stream-friendly MOBA games.
>>360849
You're just making shit up, that has never been the case.
>>360913
He's kinda right, when you think about it.
I don't go to /jp/ since I'm waiting for ZUN to sell out and make a proper Touhou anime adaptation before I get into it, but I assume they probably have their reasons for disliking /a/.
/u/ treats /a/ as a boogeyman and most yuri threads on /a/ gets shitposted by people bullying yurifags and telling them to fuck off back to /u/.
I don't think /m/ genuinely hates /a/, but /a/ tends to have pretty terrible opinions on mecha anime so there is some friction.
/cgl/ is a 3DPD whore board so I wouldn't count it as a weeb board, but if you do, I can't imagine them liking /a/ simply because of how much /a/ hates them.
All the other weeb boards are porn/image dump boards, I don't think any of them have "real" communities that have opinions on /a/ one way or another.

That's not "starting shit" If someone posted the same thing but with a reaction image from the Simpsons or something no one would shitpost the entire thread telling him to go back to /co/.
The cancer is the vehemently anti-anime faggots who shitpost a thread to death if they so much as see a single anime image, even if the post itself had nothing to do with anime.
>>361812
If a majority of people lose their shit when they see anime, maybe you shouldn't post it?
Animefaggots are quickly becoming the new bronies.
>>361821
Weebs aren't becoming "the new bronies" They aren't becoming anything. They're the same as they've always been.
It's just cancerous normalfags getting triggered because they saw something they don't like.
>>361826
Remember what happened to ponies?
It was cancerous normalfags getting triggered because they saw something they don't like.
Anime will get it's own global rule ban.
Anime fans shouldn't post anime images on an anime imageboard because it triggers normalfag invaders?
That's like trying to ban the English flag in the UK because it hurts the feelings of immigrants.
>>361831
No, there's a clear difference. Bronies were the new fad and they spammed their shit everywhere. Anime isn't a new fad at all and it's the original purpose of the site as a whole. If you get triggered by anime you need to get out.
>>361832
>That's like trying to ban the English flag in the UK because it hurts the feelings of immigrants.

>>361979
But he didn't explain why 4chan is not a weeb site? Saying a lot of the earliest 4chan users weren't weebs doesn't refute the literal fact that moot was a weeb who specifically created 4chan to share weeb images with his weeb friends. Even in a hypothetical situation where moot was the only weeb on the entire site in 2003, 4chan would still be a weeb site in 2003 because that was why it was created.

Can't speak for other boards, but there are two reasons we don't take kindly to weeaboos in /v/.
1. They play a lot of games that most people think are shitty. When you go into these threads they're always talking about the cute girls rather than the game itself, which leads me to believe that they'll play any old shit with a cute character on it.
2. A long time ago there were two weebs who were legendary trolls, to the point where the culture adopted a violent hate of that sort of people.
>>362743
weeb game discussion is of much higher quality than the shit you call western game discussion.
ecelebs, twitter posts accompanied with the words "is she right?", sjw webcomics with the word "LOL", MUH CENSORSHIP, are all hallmarks of western game discussion, and it needs to go

>>362756
>ecelebs, twitter posts accompanied with the words "is she right?", sjw webcomics with the word "LOL", MUH CENSORSHIP, are all hallmarks of western game discussion, and it needs to go
1. Those are all secondary threads, which are about things surrounding video games. They're bad, but they're not really that far offtopic.
2. There's very little of that shit lately anyways.
3. All the games that make people whine about censorship are Japanese you dumbass.
4. I didn't see you wabbos crying about ecelebs when there were constant Kachou threads on /v/.

>>362924
/a/ is doing a great job at that in their homeboard though.
I like watching anime. I don't mind if somebody posts a comment with a smug anime reaction pic if it's on topic but if you guys post them with no context or is off topic, then you guys shouldn't wonder why there is somebody complaining. It derails threads and serves no purpose. I know this is 4chan and this is an anime imageboard but would /a/ liked it if somebody posts something about Messi's recent goal in an Utawarerumono thread? Or maybe something like the newest Undertale meme on the One Page Threads? What I'm saying is complaining about anime images on 4chan is stupid, but posting anime images unrelated to threads shouldn't be allowed either.
>>362989
You're comparing posting offtopic garbage to posting a fucking image thats globally allowed. You're argument holds no ground when you actually put thought into it
>>362865
>off-topic shitters
What do you mean, off-topic? If someone is trying to derail a thread on, say, /sci/, or /biz/, or wherever else to talk about anime, or starting an off-topic anime thread on that board, then sure, that person is being off-topic.
But just posting an anime reaction image alongside your on-topic post doesn't make your post off-topic. You just made an on-topic post in this thread, but you also posted a cat reaction image. Does that mean your post is off-topic and that people should tell you to fuck off to /an/?
Whether this site is for anime or not doesn't matter.
Even if this site was made by moot for anime initially, even though it changed in the few years after that, doesn't matter.
Even if the main contributors of this site were from IRC, ADTRW and Raspberry Heaven, it does not matter.
Even after FYAD fucked people over and world2ch infected this site with its Anonymous discussion faggotry that the majority of the site didn't care for, that still doesn't matter.
So, what does matter?
The thing that matters is retards like those on /v/ that scream weeaboo when anyone posts a Japanese game.
Those cunts just need to be banned by IP range forever.
Likewise a lot of /a/ need to be banned until they stop posting duplicate threads out the ass like the children they are. There are at least 5-10 threads on the same fucking topics every day (and that is NOT the generals either, those are the only groups that know how to actually have a discussion without shitposting constantly)
Note that I also despise /a/, despite having posted on it since it was /b/. After 2010 happened and the shitstorm of numbers on this site exploded, /a/ and equally /v/ went to shit, along with other reasonably larger boards.
_it needs to be fixed_
These people do not belong and only cause hostility in every thread they come across.
They are like those sort of ADHD kiddies on chats that spam emoticons then cry when they get timed out or something.
They are nothing of worth. None of them.
Also, make an /ar/ so we can get the fuck away from /a/ already.

>>363253
Epic post, m8, but what makes you think I haven't become desensitized to them after ten years?
>>363234
Depends on what you mean by the picture. Is someone attaching, for example, a completely unrelated infograph about how the Holocaust never happened to their on-topic post on /tg/? Sure, I can understand why such an attached image would be deleted.
But if it's just a reaction image, how would that even work?
Should reaction images that contain TV series or movie characters (e.g. George Costanza) be only allowed on /tv/ and banned on all the other boards?
Should reaction images that contain cartoon or comics characters (e.g. Spiderman) be only allowed on /co/ and banned on all the other boards?
Should reaction images that contain politicians (e.g. Putin) be only allowed on /pol/ and banned on all the other boards?
Should reaction images that contain video game characters be only allowed on /v/ (and /vg/, /vr/) and banned on all the other boards?
Should reaction images that contain athletes or sports commentators (e.g. Tony Kornheiser) be only allowed on /sp/ and banned on all the other boards?
>>363263
But this is an imageboard?
>>363257
But you actually were buttblasted at first.
>>363266
Just blame Snacks for adding the option to image reply
>>363229
>FUCK WHAT /v/IRGINS THINK ABOUT /v/, WE SHOULD JUST IGNORE THEM AND THEIR HISTORY, I NEED ANOTHER BOARD TO POST ABOUT REIMU'S ARMPITS
Well in that case I want to ban all slice-of-life/moe from /a/ and make it a shounen board. After all, fuck what the natives think, right?
>>363327
Don't speak for the entire board. As long as they're discussing the game and not image dumping or Kancolle autists don't ruin the thread, 2hu is fine. It's not like /jp/ has kept in line with its original premise, and Touhou shitposting has declined a lot (along with the franchise popularity ',;^y ). Most of the Touhou threads I've seen were discussing the games and spinoffs just fine.
If you're talking about the posters who just make image dump threads all day, yeah, those guys can fuck right off. We still have too many repeat shitposters who aren't banned.
Here's a thread that exemplifies /v/'s current state: >>>/v/318141082
Some actual fucking OC along with old-timey discussion. How long has it been since there was some of that. And too many of the posts are "this is shit" "gb2/REDDIT" "/v/ isn't allowed to have fun".
A large part of the board wants to get better, but as long as we have all these posters who seemingly want nothing else but webcomic threads, filename threads, console wars, or bitching about SJWs on Twitter with duplicate threads, we can't.
On a side note, anyone who wants to split /v/ into western /v/ and eastern /v/ because we don't have enough moderation assigned specifically to us to help curb shitpost threads or because someone got butthurt over a shitposter they should have ignored anyway needs to knock it off. If you guys complain long enough, Hiroyuki might think the board actually wants that.
>>363240
Do you know what the word proof means? It's all revisionist hearsay until you provide a screencap the thread that organized this supposed raid.
>>363357
>Hiroyuki might think the board actually wants that.
But we do want that.
Look at the quality of posts on western /v/ and eastern /v/.
Eastern /v/ is largely on-topic and conductive of video game discussion and board culture.
Western /v/ is stupid recommendation threads, filename threads, console wars, shitty AAA game manufactured hype, sjw censorship threads, "IS SHE RIGHT??", and pretty much everything wrong with /v/.
Let's make /v/ great again.
Stop misusing 'weeb', retards.
It's even worse when you fucktards refer to yourself as 'weebs'. It's like seeing some 16 year old kid on facebook refer to himself as an 'otaku'.
>>363431
>mad weeaboo in denial
Kill yourself
>I'm getting triggered ban he
Seems like you have a case of being a little bitch. I'm prescribing you a heavy dose of man the fuck up.
Just nuke /qa/, it's become /q/2.0.
It's a board where people go tell others how other boards should behave despite never been there for a significant amount of time.
>>363392
>Video Games/Western

>Likewise a lot of /a/ need to be banned until they stop posting duplicate threads out the ass like the children they are. There are at least 5-10 threads on the same fucking topics every day (and that is NOT the generals either, those are the only groups that know how to actually have a discussion without shitposting constantly)
I'd rather those 5 - 10 threads of the same shit up at the same time, then everything be generalfaggotry
>Also, make an /ar/ so we can get the fuck away from /a/ already.
>/ar/ - anime / random : discussion of non-airing anime, older shows and manga.
>being this much of a retarded faggot
This will never be a good idea, fuck off
>>360363
>p-please turn my board into a hugbox
>>363198
>(and that is NOT the generals either, those are the only groups that know how to actually have a discussion without shitposting constantly)
You can't be serious? Generalfags are some of the worst shitposters on the site and are also most of the time incapable of staying on-topic
>>360371
If you want to be really specific, the primary focus of the website is everything dealing with Japanese culture.
>but my normalfag boards are more popular than the ones about Jap culture!
That is something moot indeed acknowledged in one of his interviews, but he hoped the site would go back to it's roots with the new Japanese owner.
I've been noticing that people like to draw the line between "weeb 4chan" and "normalfag 4chan" from 2007 and onwards. I sort of agree, but I don't really see it as a good thing since those people who came here in 2008 because of the Chanology bullshit were cancerous as fuck.
>>363206
>>363209
>>363260
Honestly? yes. All off topic images should be banned on other boards.
/a/ gets quickly butthurt if you post any image other than anime on their board so the same should apply to all other boards, so the same should apply for others.
Also 99% of threads with off topic imges are just shitposting cancer that should be deleted.
ITT: Fat butthurt neckbeards
>>363392
>waifu faggotry
> on-topic and conductive of video game discussion
lmao it's not a coincidence that Sony and Nintendo fans are universally regarded as the worst on board while Xbots as best
>>363818
Pic is from a slide from 4chan's 10th anniversary panel by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0QRnufms-0
And here's the source of the interview: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/22/9374643/christopher-m00t-poole-interview-4chan
>4chan has gone through different arcs in its lifetime. I think maybe, with a Japanese owner, it'll go back to its roots. When it started, in the first two or three years, it was very much steeped in Japanese culture and anime and video games and people who were hobbyists with a keen interest of Japan. And that gave way to what we think of as the golden age of the /b/ random board where it became this progenitor, this wellspring of internet culture and memes and whatnot. I don't even know what I would call the third or most recent arc. It's settled into being a broad image-centric discussion site. But I wouldn't be surprised if 4chan goes back to its roots and doubles down on just being very nerdy and some of the activist tinge moves on to communities that are better suited to that.
>>363828
Xbots don't really exist on /v/, and the few of those that do are pleb dudebros who only play Halo, Cawadooty, Gears and other cancerous console shooters.
>>>/a/
sage goes in all fields
>>360363
Because they know you're this easily triggered by it, dipshit. They should ban you too for derailing threads up(You)ing retards and generally being undesirable, obnoxious degenerate faggots who think everyone should get down and suck your dick for ERPing and avatarfagging on interest boards when it's irrelevant to the discussion because this board was exclusively anime-focused over a decade ago. Shitposting is still shitposting no matter what images are attached to it.
>>363392
>those threads on the /vj/ side
Do you really think that inane bullshit is "quality posting"? Even /g/ looks more mentally engaging than that meme-laden drivel.
>>363961
>i hate japanese games sooooo fucking much
why are you even here senpai
>>363964
...Where did I ever say that? All I see are shitty recommendation begs, inane questions, one-liner meme OPs and cancerous waifufaggotry.
Oh, wait, I forgot, shitposting you retards like is oh-so invaluable "board culture" that must not be tread upon.
>>363392
>/vj/ will be similar to /a/
It won't and you know it. It'll just be the same as current /v/, except a different flavour
If it's okay to post /a/ content uncontested across 4chan then no one should say "fuck off back to >>>/v/" when someone posts a video game character here.
It's a pretty blatant double standard, is my point.
anime is gay
weeaboos are annoying
they complain about everything
they can't even get /l/
I unironically browse reddit
>>364001
Oh shit I thought I was in /a/.
By "here" I mean /a/.
I say that anime discussion should be kept on the relevant boards, but should also be acceptable on the off topic boards. On any other boards, anime images are fine as long as posting is on topic.
>be on a non-japanese board
>in a thread not related to anime at all
>go farther than just using an anime reaction image, make the conversation about my anime lifestyle
>people call me out on my retarded bullshit
>cry and make a thread about it on /qa/
>>364024
>>be on a non-japanese board
To be fair, the board is owned by a Jap
>>360363
The things you listed are already bannable as per global rule 6.
>waaah somebody insulted my chinese cartoons
Who gives a shit? Grow thicker skin. Watching people complain about anime on a site that was founded by anime nerds should make you laugh, not make you angry.
>>364120
>posting cancer hamster
way to discredit yourself
>>360371
>lest I have to school you about why /a/ and /b/ had to split from the original anime/random very early on in the site's history and why.
Well, why did it split?
>>364135
Not him, but it was really just to separate the "real" anime discussion from the miscalleneous fuckery.
>>363357
>Kancolle
>small c
>>363357
>Don't speak for the entire board.
Except I never did that? I was replying specifically to a guy who jumped in and added nothing to the conversation by posting a dumb meme. Like, it's fine if you don't like /v/irgins (I don't like /a/utists, /pol/iticians, robots, or /mu/tants.) but just coming into a thread to baselessly shit on people because they challenge your narrative is dumb as fuck.
I guess you're mad because I talked about Touhou? Maybe the reference was a little dated, but I was referring to the kind of faggots on /jp/ and /a/ who just sit around posting their sexual fantasies about the characters.
>blahblahblah current state of /v/
/v/ is fine. All boards have issues but /v /is not some uniquely terrible shithole filled with nothing but garbage. People just meme about that based on the pre-/vg/ era when it kind of was that bad.
>anyone who wants to split /v/ into western /v/ and eastern /v/ because we don't have enough moderation assigned specifically to us to help curb shitpost threads or because someone got butthurt over a shitposter they should have ignored anyway needs to knock it off.
Are you implying that a topic that had like, 5 threads in one single day then dropped off the front page of /qa/ completely might not be a grassroots groundswell?
>>363971
The most infuriating thing about 4chan wabbos is that the deep, abiding belief that their shitposts are gold.
OP if this actually bothers you, you need to put down the mouse and go outside.
None of this shit really matters.
>>360363
>Complaining about anime and derailing threads with anti-anime shitposting should be a bannable offense.
I was under the impression it already was, due to being, you know, shitposting.
>>361821
>if it's offending people maybe you should stop
>it's not my fault if I explode into a sperg tantrum at the sight of something entirely innocuous
>>>/tumblr/
>>361831
Actually, I'd say that the people who derailed threads because of how much they hated ponies were almost worse than the bronies themselves.
Yes, fagtron, thanks for derailing these threads with your tantrum instead of just quietly reporting the post and moving on, you're the hero of 4chan. No no, let's forget about our topic, why don't you tell us how much you hate bronies, and then explain to us all why it's important that we take an active part in disliking people we all already dislike.
For a year, some ebin trool would post that pony painted Mauser rifle on /k/, and cry about "MUH HISTORY" (even though it was a Mitchel's Mauser and has NO historical value), because he knows he'll get a bunch of those hollering tards going.
Nobody cared what some sperg did with his shitty gun, just the anti-brony brigade looking for an excuse to rant about how much they hate bronies, they just had to let the world know.
Most people on /k/ don't give a shit about the Colt Railgun 1911 with "Raildex" grips, the people who got it just quietly chuckling at the pun and moving on, or the NERV insignia painted on an AR
But wait, here comes the Legendary Ruseman posting a WASR with the bright blue house-paint and a shitscribble on the stock, we need 200 replies about this as if it mattered, god knows these fucks can't ignore bait!
I don't like bronies but the people incapable of shutting up about it were worse by far, the bronies fucked up to their ghetto, it took YEARS for the howler monkeys to quiet down.
How in the fuck are normies who lose their shit because they see something they don't like, and are uncapable of shutting their fucking traps, NOT cancer?
