you are mistaken op. 'our little green friend' can only possibly refer to Suiseiseki.
>>387619
The "dumb frogposter" meme is one of the weakest memes. I'd rather have 50 people posting pepe than 50 people complaining about 50 people posting pepe.
Face it, Pepe has been dead for a while ever since it was bastardized by twitter Nermins.

Ironic to say, since the dumb frog is reddit

That's /r/4chan though, a subreddit for 4chan users.
Why do people try to discourage frogposters by saying "it's reddit/mainstream!!"
That's the point you retards, the shittier it is the better. I can't believe I have to explain how shitposting works to you homos.
>>388145
You realize this gay frog was in use a long time ago, right? He goes back to before we even had the retarded feels guy face from Krautchan. 4chan literally fucking made Pepe and retards ate it up. So, no idea where you get the idea that newfags like Pepe and oldfags hate him when it was popularized a long time ago before it blew up for some reason. Memes in general are for fucking retarded children, no matter where they come from. They're funny for a little while and then wear out their welcome. Much like newfags such as you do when you speak of things you don't know anything about.
>>388151
Are you retarded? 4chan has always been against an joke that goes mainstream and forced memes. The only people who still use pepe are redditors
> 4chan literally fucking made Pepe
No they didn't you fucking moron. Pepe came from someones shitty comic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OPhtQp1C9c
>>388151
Yes, it has existed for a while, but it's used in a different way from how it was used back then. There's a big difference there. It was literally just a single reaction image back then and then it blossomed into some weird-ass frog porn.
>>388151

>>388155
>Are you retarded? 4chan has always been against an joke that goes mainstream and forced memes. The only people who still use pepe are redditors
Yes. Because clearly we are legion. An epic hivemind who does what everyone else does, right? That's lulzy, /b/ro. Epin comment there. Any time someone else uses stuff WE need to change to make way for the latest epic memes coming through! Because you're from Red- 4chan for years and you don't want the same old memes because then you won't get upv- e-cred and be hardcore.
Shut up, you dumbass newfag. You sound fucking stupid acting like 4chan is, or ever was, some sort of hivemind. Nobody cares about that gay shit, except for newfags like you who think it makes them fit in.
>No they didn't you fucking moron. Pepe came from someones shitty comic
Yes. Which 4chan then turned into the fucking meme and before he was even called Pepe they just called him sadfrog. 4chan popularized it and made it what it is today. But clearly since it's now popular, everyone needs to shut it all down.
If you're looking for underground stuff, 4chan ain't the place for you anymore. Go look at the advertising page and tell me 4chan is some secret underground place anymore. Or that it was ever intended to be so. Lurk moar.
>>388181
And now it's just a generic reaction image. Typically with a smug attitude. It hasn't changed at all. The only thing that has changed is he's not called sadfrog anymore and he's usually acting smug. And there's a plethora of smug reaction images out there besides him. He just blew up because someone made a joke of "le epic rare pepe" and it blew up with autistic children flocking around to trade rare pepes.
That's not my fucking problem or the problem of anyone else using the picture. That's the problem of dumb faggots taking the internet too seriously.
>>388186
People have always been spergy about fucking memes going mainstream. For starters, older memes were closer to in-jokes if anything. So once it got big, it got dropped because it loses its humour and value. People got just as upset about forced memes as well, something that the frog is now
>If you're looking for underground stuff, 4chan ain't the place for you anymore
You are a retard
People get upset about the frog because its a indicator of shitposting and as such gets banned
>>388190
>People have always been spergy about fucking memes going mainstream. For starters, older memes were closer to in-jokes if anything. So once it got big, it got dropped because it loses its humour and value. People got just as upset about forced memes as well, something that the frog is now
No, morons have always been spergy about memes going mainstream. I post whatever the hell I feel like posting. I don't give a shit if Reddit does it now. That's not MY problem as a user of this site. Reddit can do whatever they want, I'm not basing my posting habits around another site and what they do or don't do, because I'm not a child who needs to be super special and edgy and different.
And the Pepe shit isn't a forced meme. It's just a fucking standard reaction image like any other one at this point. The only reason people care is because Reddit and Nicki Minaj used it, so now it's mainstream and there's subreddits dedicated to trading photoshop'd Pepes. And that' real neato, but keep your faggot site wars to yourself. Nobody else gives a damn.
>People get upset about the frog because its a indicator of shitposting and as such gets banned
Coming to 4chan itself is an indicator of shitposting if you're gonna take that idea to its logical conclusion. I can post Socrates and shitpost. Does this mean we need to get rid of 4chan and Socrates too? Pepe's just a reaction image and you're a triggered nigger hence why people post smug faces at you to infuriate you. It's no wonder you see it as a shitpost.
ITT: newfags pretending to be oldfags
Just stop, it is embarrassing.
PROTIP fags, "imma pissin you off" is invariably the behavior of butthurt furfags and autists. Nobody thinks you're a super edgy oldfag, they think you're trying to fit in too hard.
Once an undesirable demographic starts to predominately use a meme, the meme becomes associated with that demographic and becomes undesirable itself.
This is not a difficult concept to grasp.
>>388207
Much like your anime, right, weeb?
But let's suppose you're right for the sake of argument. Can you tell me why I should care about what Reddit does or doesn't do? Do I need to visit Reddit every day to see what memes they use or don't use? Because by your argument we shouldn't be able to do anything because /r/4chan does everything we do here and posts all that shit. In order to not be a Redditor do I need to become one so much that I visit and scan tirelessly to see what they do so I know what I am or am not allowed to do here?
I have a better option: not give a fuck about what Reddit does. If you care so much about what they do, go ahead and go there.
>>388208
>Much like your anime, right, weeb?
That's not the same. This is literally a weeb site, made by a weeb, for other weebs. No matter how obnoxious weebs act towards you, if you have a problem with weebs, you are the problem. Since you're on their site. You are merely an uninvited guest here. It's like being a Somali in Sweden. Weebs are the ethnic Swedes, you are the illegal immigrant mooching off of them. You don't get to complain about how they're racist towards you.
>But let's suppose you're right for the sake of argument. Can you tell me why I should care about what Reddit
Wait, stop right there. Who said anything about Reddit? Redditors aren't the problem here. Frogposters are the problem. Frogposting isn't cancerous because people use it on other sites, frogposting is cancerous because frogposters on this site are cancerous.
>>388218
>That's not the same. This is literally a weeb site, made by a weeb, for other weebs. No matter how obnoxious weebs act towards you, if you have a problem with weebs, you are the problem.
But that is entirely incorrect. Hence why there are more non-weeb boards than weeb boards. And, as someone who came over from FYAD on SA, I can safely call you a newfag retard. Especially given we were half of the population originally outside of ADTRW.
>Wait, stop right there. Who said anything about Reddit?
The OP and everyone else in this thread given we're having a conversation about it. Try learning how to read, then maybe you'd be able to read the thread and other fun stuff like the front page or FAQ that explain why your conceptions of this being a weeb site are false.
>frogposting is cancerous because frogposters on this site are cancerous.
That's a nice tautology and all, but anyone can be cancerous here. Anime posters, frogposters, any kind of post can be a shitpost and cancerous. The content of the post is what makes it cancerous or not. An image of a frog making a face is not inherently cancerous. If you got this upset over images of a monkey trolls would also pop out of the woodwork showing images of smug looking chimps to piss you off.
You being upset does not make them go away, you know. Telling them to stop does nothing. You can't do anything to them online. What it does is it makes their peepee really, really hard because you are upset and impotently powerless to stop them. This makes them want to do it more. If you stop being upset by smug frogs people will stop making blatant shitposts accompanied by images of said smug frogs.
>>388227
>And, as someone who came over from FYAD on SA, I can safely call you a newfag retard. Especially given we were half of the population originally outside of ADTRW.
Calling 100% bullshit. Claiming you are a originalfag is a clear obvious fact you are a total newfag
>>388231
>Calling 100% bullshit. Claiming you are a originalfag is a clear obvious fact you are a total newfag
FYAD isn't "original" to anyone except newfags like you. ADTRW were the original people here because that's where moot hung out. It's just that on SA it turns out you can read other forums and it wasn't long before everyone else heard that losers from ADTRW were hanging out at a new place with no registration process and moderation that's easily bypassed unlike the ones on SA where angry and bitter mods sat around being pissy and hating anything remotely resembling comedy.
>>388235
No one gives a rats ass about your shitty history lesson, faggot. You claimed you were a originalfag as a way to try and make your argument more valid, which, it didn't and does the exact opposite. Fucking anyone can easily get that history lesson off tons of sites and anyone can claim to be a originalfag. The only thing you have done is out yourself as a newfag le epic troll xd, because the only people who go around spouting 'how long theyve been here to prove their le oldfag status' is newfags
>>388238
No. What I'm doing is using it to show your retarded ass that your story about this being a weeb site is not true. Because half of the population of 4chan from the very beginning weren't weebs and just wanted an alternative to SA because it started going down hill and allowed more freedom. The reason why "mods=fags" was such a huge saying is because it was revolutionary for the users at the time. If you said it on SA you would (and still do) get banned for "mod sass".
Either way, far more than weebs came to 4chan in the beginning and were why /b/ and /a/ split up from the original anime/random board and spurred the creation of other non-weeb boards. Even the Japanese imageboards and textboards aren't weeb centric. Despite what moot's intentions may have been, weebs were quickly out numbered by others who didn't care. Wanna blame anyone for this not being a weeb site? Blame moot. After the /a/ and /b/ split /b/ became the go-to board for people to come hang out on that wasn't focused exclusively on anime and fostered the current trend of non-weebs being accepted here. It was the colony that'd become large and influence more boards for non-weeb interests being created until eventually as you see today it's hardly a weeb site anymore at all. You're merely one interest among many.
>>388246
>And, as someone who came over from FYAD on SA, I can safely call you a newfag retard. Especially given we were half of the population originally outside of ADTRW.
Tell me how this is a 'history lesson', shitbrains. This is literally you attempting to claim you are a originalfag. If you were, you would of turned on your faggot trip to prove so, since almost everyone had one back then and then proved it was a trip from back then. But of course, you can't do that, because you aren't and you are just some shit brain ED wiki reader
It's a weeb site because it was the original point of the site and is a core part of the sites culture. Simple as that, and there is nothing more to it. A runescape forum that suddenly gets thousands of sub-forums for non-runescape shit and gains a massive anti-runescape userbase doesn't suddenly make it not a runescape forum. The sites original purpose was anime/manga discussion, and the culture of the site is mainly japshit. It doesn't matter really how many non-jap boards there are or how large the anti-jap users are, one of the sites core purpose and culture is for japshit
Now stop fucking replying. You aren't looking like some epic oldfag like you are trying, you are looking like some stupid ED wiki reader mouth breather who wants to brag about his imaginary oldfag status and clearly has a dislike for anime. You probably came fresh out of the /b/ boat if anything
>>388258
>It's a weeb site because it was the original point of the siteculture. Simple as that, and there is nothing more to it.
The original point of the World Wide Web was a platform to share hypertext and other documents between scientific, military and government institutions. Shouldn't you be fucking off now since you're misusing it to discuss cartoons and as a soapbox to bitch and moan about an animated frog?
>>388227
>Hence why there are more non-weeb boards than weeb boards.
It doesn't matter if you're the majority. If Sweden today got twenty million immigrants, those immigrants wouldn't magically become ethnic Swedes. Even if normalfags were 99% of the site and weebs only 1% of the site, this is still a weeb site and you're still just an unwelcome parasite on this site.
>And, as someone who came over from FYAD on SA, I can safely call you a newfag retard.
Even if you've been on this site for longer than I have, you still don't belong on this site. So what if you have seniority over me? Is a Turk who moved to Germany in 1973 more German than an ethnic German born in 1980? 4chan was originally a weeb site, created by a weeb, for weebs. Weebs are the intended, original, targeted audience of this site. Even if normalfags became the majority on this site on literally day two of its existence, that still doesn't mean they belong here.
A weeb who joined 4chan in 2013 because a friend linked him epic KlK threads belongs on this site more than you people do. Even if you spend the next fifty years on this site, you will never ever belong here.
But since you said you came here from FYAD on SA, I don't suppose you would be willing to provide proof? Just make a post on your 2003 (or earlier) registration date SA account, say something like "hey /qa/", screencap that post and upload the image here?
>The OP and everyone else in this thread given we're having a conversation about it
My point was that I wasn't talking about redditors when I talked about undesirable demographics, I was talking about frogposters. Don't get so hung up over a figure of speech.
>You being upset does not make them go away, you know. Telling them to stop does nothing.
Luckily for me, the majority of the posts I make is on one of the few remaining non-terrible boards, so if someone posts a frogpost there, I don't need to tell him to fuck off. I can just report his post, and mods will delete it.
>>388258
>Tell me how this is a 'history lesson', shitbrains. This is literally you attempting to claim you are a originalfag.

Yeah. That's very obviously true despite ED saying nothing like that. And the whole hash or whatever tripcodes use having been changed several times throughout history. And, no, not everyone used tripcodes back then or names. Most, but not all. It was just a lot more common than it is now.
>It's a weeb site because it was the original point of the site and is a core part of the sites culture. Simple as that, and there is nothing more to it.
Maybe you're right, newfag. Let's just see what 4chan itself has to say about what the site is for and about. Because I'm just a lying newfag who came over from Reddit an hour ago clearly. So let's see what moot himself wrote about the site's purpose.
>What is 4chan?
>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!
Shit. That doesn't say anything about it being a weeb site. And moot wrote that? Fuck. Guess you're shit outta luck, slick. moot himself who wrote this shit in the FAQ even disagrees with this being weeb centric.
>>388264
>Even if normalfags were 99% of the site and weebs only 1% of the site, this is still a weeb site and you're still just an unwelcome parasite on this site.
Next you'll tell us that Americans don't really exist because it belongs to the natives.
>Is a Turk who moved to Germany in 1973 more German than an ethnic German born in 1980?
You're not "ethnic 4chan." You're an import like any other. You can't even claim to be diaspora.
>>388264
Using the definition of "belonging" derived from that incredibly pseudo-intellectual bullshit analogy, ethnic Swedes and Germans themselves are parasites on their own land because Indo-Europeans are not originally from Europe.
>>388265
I used ED because its the best example of moronic wiki readers, idiot
>And the whole hash or whatever tripcodes use having been changed several times throughout history. And, no, not everyone used tripcodes back then or names. Most, but not all. It was just a lot more common than it is now.
Refer to this stupid retard tripnigger
>>388264
Good job misinterpreting the point
> A runescape forum that suddenly gets thousands of sub-forums for non-runescape shit and gains a massive anti-runescape userbase doesn't suddenly make it not a runescape forum
Using the FAQ to defend your point makes you a idiot, because the FAQ has never had any meaning nor does it define the rules. It also says
>"Work safe" is defined as "content that is safe for viewing in the average working environment." Boards that default to the Yotsuba B or Burichan (blue) theme are to be considered work safe. Posting content that is not suitable for this environment may result in a ban. The goal behind enforcing this rule is to keep the cleaner sections of the site accessible to those in restricted viewing situations.
Which is wrong as the NSFW rules have always existed for the sole purpose of preventing discussion boards from becoming porn dumping grounds
>>388274
>Which is wrong as the NSFW rules have always existed for the sole purpose of preventing discussion boards from becoming porn dumping grounds
NSFW rules exist so people can't post NSFW things. Many boards are blue so that they won't become porn dumping grounds - but a single picture of pornography is still not allowed on blue boards even if all the users swear an oath to make a one-time thing that won't result in a dump.
>the FAQ has never had any meaning
Yeah, why would anyone care what the founder of the site said? Random crap that the users of /a/ made up while being coddled by a cult-of-personality mod are what really counts in 4chan.
>>388274
>Using the FAQ to defend your point makes you a idiot,
So, basically, you're right in saying that this is a weeb site and moot, the guy who made 4chan, is wrong about its purpose? Okay.
>>388274
>Using the FAQ to defend your point makes you a idiot, because the FAQ has never had any meaning nor does it define the rules.
No, you're right. Someone who takes the description of a website written by its administrator is a dumbass for taking it seriously, it's really solely made for one particular plurality on the site because, well, they said so!
>>387593
>he can't tell when the joke is dead
Since people in this thread started saying that moot's word is law, I went to dig through the archives to find that one post by moot where he says that 4chan was founded to discuss Japanese culture (Here it is: https://desustorage.org/q/thread/585144/#586461 ), and look what I found:
https://desustorage.org/q/thread/774269/#774281
OP:
> Every once in a while I see someone claim that 4chan was, at some point in time, some kind of secret Something Awful goon club. People seem to be saying that, after /a/ was separated from /b/ (i.e. /b/ stopped being "anime/random"), /a/ and the other anime boards became "ADTRW: imageboard edition"; while /b/ became "FYAD: imageboard edition". However, when piecing things together from the available archived threads, my personal memory of 4chan, and a dash of common sense, this... doesn't really seem true.
moot's reply:
>>doesn't really seem true.
>Because it isn't. Raspberry Heaven had like 20-40 active members, and only a handful of SA goons made the migration to 4chan. Within the first month the site had attracted thousands of users, the majority being from outside of SA. It is true that many of the early moderators were from RH (and thus descended from SA), but this stopped being true after the first year or two.
Who gives a shit about frogposting? Feels are the cancer that must be purged at any cost.
>>388316
And look at what I found over on SA!
>Useless even by ADTRW standards
