Can we please get rid of /a/? The majority of the negative elements of 4chan spawn from there. By their own admission /a/ users don't use the rest of the site (calling anyone who dares use another board a "crossboarder",) and regularly post off-topic shitposting on other boards to try to derail conversations.
Anime is used in the same way as My Little Pony was before it was banned- it is spammed on boards like /k/ or /tv/ to rile up posters. Anime posters on /v/ create off-topic threads to dump pornography in or discuss waifus; attempts by /v/ to self-moderate this unwelcome presence has been met with a great deal of entitled crying from the anime crowd.
Worse than that, the moderators have time and time again defended their bad behavior and encouraged it on their home board. This behavior is then carried to other boards. Anime posters spam, post low-effort posts (such as "#character is cute! CUTE!",) and generally contribute nothing of value to discussions.
It's become painfully obvious that there are two groups on 4chan- 4chan users, and /a/ users. The two are completely incompatible. It's time for /a/ to take some responsibility for their actions, and its time that anime be moderated like the off-topic content it is.
To start with, I propose the following change to Global Rule 15:
>All pony/brony threads, images, Flashes, and avatars belong on /mlp/. All anime threads, images, Flashes, and avatars belong on /a/.
culturally threatened by anime
The crossboarder meme is on tons of places besides /a/ that have nothing to do with /a/, like /tv/. See how they have that stupid reddit boogeyman? Yeah.
If you were honest, you'd have posted something like:
"why can't I post MLP when others can post anime?"
>animes images = someone from /a/
Don't blame /a/, they don't like to crossboard much. It's probably the faggots who got told to fuck off of /a/ or just some random fag who likes anime.
>>435327
Then /a/ should not oppose the ban. They can stay on /a/ and the people they've chased off will stay gone.
If they're not doing it it should be a win/win situation.
>>435317
go cry about it
>>435317
4chan was created for anime not for horsefuckers. It's great treatment that you even get your own containment board.
If you want a chan for ponies there's at least one out there.
>>435337
>4chan was created for anime
[Citation needed]
/a/ was only created because /b/ was sick if being spammed with it. Anime was so cancerous that it got kicked out of fucking /b/.
So all this anti-anime sentiment is from one brony.
>>435339
/a/ was created because /b/ was always a horrible place to have dedicated discussion, you stupid shitposting horsefucker.
>>435346
Gotta say, I'd rather be a horsefucker than a pedophile like you weebs.
No the brony is right this time. /a/ is a containment board that occasionally leaks like any other, like /mlp/ or /pol/ or [s4s].
>>435350
>Containment board
Stop being a retard. The only 'Containment board' on the site, is /mlp/
>>435353
Yeah right.
And >>>/trash/ totally doesn't allow pony porn.
Give me a fucking break retard.
OP isn't even a ponyfag you morons.
He's just some dumbass trying to start shit again.
Everything is fine the way it is, it's good that we can piss off all of normalfags with smug animu
girl pics.
>>435339
>[Citation needed]
Have you ever listened to moot talk before at all?
>>435357
No you retard, the only board on this entire site that was made with the intention of containing anything was /mlp/. The only containment board is fucking /mlp/ you fucking moron. /trash/ wasn't made to fucking contain anything and was something hiro made on a whim. Stop trying to find a deeper meaning in it other than that it was a board made to hold offtopic talking.
>>435361
Bitch and moan all you want faggot.
/trash/ is the only board that allows clop.
That makes it a de facto containment board.
>>435363
No it doesn't you fucking retard.
>>435367
Such denial.
>>435317

>>435317
>post low-effort posts (such as "#character is cute! CUTE!",)
Don't forget "i want to fuck [character]". Entirely pointless, and should be considered as the shitposting it is.
>anime flashes have to stay on /a/
What? How is that even possible?
Anime is important to 4chan, so like other off-topic images/discussions I don't see why it should be punished outside of obvious shitposting. Like if someone starts dumpling anime girls and discussion on an unrelated board, or when it's knowingly used as an aggravation tool (trolling/bait).
>>435423
>someone starts dumpling
>>435426
Oops. My hands are really cold right now, and I'm busy doing other things.
>>435327
>the faggots who got told to fuck off of /a/
more likely the faggots that like anime but realize what a cancerous shitheap your favorite board is.
I'm not even going to read that TL;DR piece of shit post, just go back to rebbit if your so triggered by /a/, because we all know thats where you newfags are coming from.
>All anime threads, images, Flashes, and avatars belong on /a/.
You rebbit fags are so threatened by reaction images and anything that goes against your autistic need to section off every single thing into it's own little area. It's pathetic. How about you fucking go back to where you came from.
>>435578
>How about you fucking go back to where you came from.
I think the point is that most of the people on modern /a/ came from tumblr and /r/anime.
>>435317
The mods don't give a fuck because they're /a/ posters themselves. Unfortunately, /a/ is free to shitpost as it wills and there's nothing we can do about it.
>>435361

>>435587
Going by that logic, I assume you have nothing against MLP, SU, Undertale or Homestuck being allowed?
Anime outside /a/ is shitposting no matter how you paint it.
Not this shit again
>>435589
This site wasn't made to discuss those you fucking autisf. Quit with this mediocre trolling, it's embarassing that you would spend time out of your day making stupid posts like these.
>>435317

>>435595

Nobody thinks this but /a/ though.
>>435594
Do you have an actual argument or are you going to concede idiocy with the next reply?
>>435595
anime is mostly used by shitposters that want replies and erpfags in search of cummies
>>435595

yes, /a/ is
/co/ or /v/ for example isn't
inb4 decade old 4chan news screenshots that supposedly prove this is still an anime site today
>>435597
You can continue to act like a retard and ignore the fact that this site was made to discuss anime and nobody has a problem with it other than retards like you, but that doesn't change the fact that it will not be banned. But please, go ahead and waste your time writing this meaningless shit that will effect nothing because you have nothing better to do with your life. The irony in this situation is that I can guarantee you're the thpe of idiot who bitches that "4chan is shit now ;_;" meanwhile you post garbage like this.
>>435602
So you went ahead and admitted you're a retard.
Why do you do this to yourself?
>>435602
You can continue to act like a retard and ignore the fact that this site hasn't been centered around anime in over 10 years and that anime is declining as a fad and as it does, so does the board traffic ranking of /a/ and related boards, but that doesn't change the fact that it isn't welcomed outside of its containment boards. But please, go ahead and waste your time writing this meaningless shit that will effect nothing because you have nothing better to do with your life. The irony in this situation is that I can guarantee you're the type of idiot who bitches that "4chan is shit now ;_;" meanwhile you post garbage like this.

Yeah, I wish, maybe then /a/ wouldn't be such an awful board filled with so many retards. Anime is getting even bigger in the west and unfortunatey there's no stopping it. /a/ is also faster than it has ever been.

I'm saying this as a fan of anime for 11+ years; I genuinely hope it stops being profitable to send it to the west. Crunchyroll killed fansubbing, which is turn killed anime because it became avaliable to more retards. /a/ hasn't been good since 2011, despite what they'll tell you. The board is genuinely awful.
>>435629
>being a weeb supremacist
>>435615
Feels to me like the otaku pandering shit is harming japanese products both in the east and in the west because it panders to a shitty demographic and not a more moderate audience.
I see it with videogames. They used to have much more influence in the west before they went full waifu shit.
But this changed focus also leads to more otakus to pop up.
So you lose the mass interest, but get more obsessed imbalanced faggots and I've seen that happen in western communities too.

Sooner or later this WILL happen. It's just a matter of time.
Posting a smug anime girl adds nothing to the discussion and it's just as bad as posting a smug pony.
>>435702
>I wasn't here when ponies were spammed everywhere
Smug anime girls are literally not even 1/100th the problem ponies were before /mlp/ and global 15. Maybe not 1/1000th. Ponies made three boards (/b/, /v/, /co/) literally almost unusable at points.
>>435715
Smug anime girls poisons almost all boards.
I didn't even notice the ponies when /mlp/ was created, in fact I didn't even know about the show.
>>435724
>feigning ignorance this fucking hard to try to make it seem like ponies were hardly aggressors to get what they got
They were a fucking million times worse and more combative than the weebest of weebs.
It's OK if you weren't here in 2011, but don't speak out on things you do not understand. Essentially the only way you could be on 4chan in 2011-12 and not have heard of bronies/ponies at all is if you came to a board like /po/ for ten minutes once a month.
Y'all need to cool it with the anime poster anger, and the people that post it for negative replies need to fall off a cliff as well. Both sides are the problem.
>>435740
>>435750
This. The only people posting ponies were trolls trying to get a reaction using reaction images, and Barneyfags that were trying to launch some kind of holy war against the MLP posters that had been contained in a general.
MLP would have died much sooner if moot had told the mods to delete pony shitposting and leave them alone. Instead he created a board because he was told it would kill them, which made the whole thing last much longer. Meanwhile Homestuck was confined to a general and died down on its own.
So yeah, the only people who act like MLP posting was some kind of big deal back in 2011 weren't actually here.
>>435740
>It's OK if you weren't here in 2011, but don't speak out on things you do not understand. Essentially the only way you could be on 4chan in 2011-12 and not have heard of bronies/ponies at all is if you came to a board like /po/ for ten minutes once a month.
You said it yourself, it happened mostly on three boards (/b/, /v/, /co/), I didn't browse any of them at the time.
Seriously, /mlp/ came as a big surprise for me, I thought it was some sort of joke.
>>435586
>i have no fucking idea what a containment board is the post
None of those were made to contain anything and existed only to remove something from a board and /v/ and /pol/ aren't containment boards.
>>436038
you're stupid
I'm of the opinion that GR15 needs to be repealed. But if it doesn't and we expand this to apply to all boards then /co/ images shouldn't be allowed outside of /co/, /v/ images shouldn't be allowed outside of /v/, and /tv/ images shouldn't be allowed outside of /tv/, and repeat that with every other board, because no one wants to see SU garbage, shitty undertale fanart, or /tv/ memes outside of their respective boards.
>>435317
Only if it comes with the gurantee that crossboarders cant post on /a/ without at least an year of lurking
You cant?
Too bad
>>436588
why don't we just make /a/ an account based invite-only board? that way you faggots can have your circlejerking echo chamber you've always dreamed of
>>435317
I'm okay with this.
But >>435423's more reasonable.

You want an anime site to remove the anime board?
They'd just move to /jp/. You'd have to delete the entire "Japanese" section of the site.
And are you fucking kidding me calling the animefags "entitled" while /v/ tries to "self moderate" which basically means "bitch and whine"?
We need to get rid of GR 15. It's the only ground that faggots like yourself have to stand on when trying to set up containment boards and get content that you dont like removed from a board.
I fucking wish /v/ would get raided with ponies similar to how /pol/ got raided to flush out you whining faggots.

Can you try to point out where it says that in the OP?
>And are you fucking kidding me calling the animefags "entitled" while /v/ tries to "self moderate" which basically means "bitch and whine"?
If the anime posters on /qa/ are anything to go by (they might not be, but idk), yeah they would be some of the most entitled groups on 4chan. And /a/ would """"""bitch and whine"""""" if another board, like /mlp/ or /pol/, invaded and did what anime posters did on /v/.
>>436629

>>436637

Look long and hard at the board list.

Fucking tumblr?
/a/. People are supposed to post about anime on /a/. You've got other redundant boards for it as well.
>>436640
Oh, lol. Well, he probably meant anime there. Read the OP again. He's clearly not talking about deleting /a/.
>>436636
>if another board, like /mlp/ or /pol/, invaded and did what anime posters did on /v/.
Anime posters are doing fuck all on /v/ but posting reaction images or relevant games.
This thread for instance >>>/v/326649740
I just went to /v/ and this was on the front page.
The 2nd god damn reply is some whiny faggot calling OP a weeb and pedophile for no reason.
THESE are the faggots that start shit. THESE are the faggots that need to be banned.
Not the OP for posting an anime fighting VIDEO GAME and his opinions about the game on the VIDEO GAME board.
>>436644
Well let's ignore OP's shitty wording and assume he just wants anime "contained" on /a/ like ponies are on /mlp/.
My question is: "why?"
Ban anime from all boards except the "japanese culture" boards and then what?
/v/ will just start complaining about the next thing that triggers them and ask for another containment board.
You have to draw a fucking line. Yes, if some faggot starts a thread on /v/ about an anime and there isnt the slightest intention about posting a video game in his post then yes that anon should be banned for posting off topic bullshit.
But if someone gets upset over a reaction image or an anime video game and tries to start a flame war you're banning the wrong person when you ban the anon that posted a simple image or game.
The people that get upset over that kind of content shouldnt be posting here, because most of those people are 14 years old.
i'd like to say sorry to everyone for this faggot

This is acceptable if the thread is obvious bait.
If the shitstorm is caused by a bunch of teenagers getting triggered by Undertale or some shit and OP has to tread posting on /v/ like a minefield then /v/ needs some cleaning up.
You want to know how to clean up /v/? Stop pandering to to underaged posters that want a safe space from everything they dont like.

>middle bit
Yeah. It does. The amount of shitposting's among the worst. I think most people on 4chan know that. Pretty much every thread on /qa/ about rating boards or asking which are the worst will include it very negatively. I've only seen one person who doesn't think it's heinous.
>You want to know how to clean up /v/? Stop pandering to to underaged posters that want a safe space from everything they dont like.
Mods delete Undertale or similar threads on /v/ to avoid shitstorms/flamewars. Cutting out lots of shitposting might help improve it.
>>436684
>Literally every other thread.
People haven't been banned solely for using a reaction image or making a thread about an anime style or game for an anime on /v/ so there isn't a problem there.

Western kids don't watch anime anymore.
There is some seriously stupid posting coming from both sides right now. It's like neither side really cares, yet they continue to blow hot air. You need to find something else to do.
>>436750
Do you spend a lot of time with little childern anon? That's kind of creepy...
>>436744
no, no, he's right. there is a decrease in populatiry
>>436741
Because I have interests I want to discuss in peace that aren't anime or anime related.
You know, like the 50 or so boards that are specifically for non-anime?
Is it really that hard to understand for an anime birdbrain like you?
>>436751
>look at me
>i dont care
>I'm so neutral and cool
>both sides are stupid
Literally go back 2 Reddit.
>>436752
No, but I can read and that's how I know what I'm saying is true.
Anime is dead, nothing but cute girls doing stuff. Kids don't care about moe.
>>436754
But why here of all places? and if you get triggered by anime it's your fault not mine. It's okay to not like anime on 4chan, just don't get butthurt because of it. Otherwhisse yuo can always try other sites where people don't like anime.
>ad hominem
Oh ok so you're just shitposting. Cool.
>>436756
America doesn't get those shows though. So the anime that Americans get to watch is still liked.
>>436756
And anime is not (only) for kids. Not the moe stuff.
>>436757
Can anything get through that thick skull? There's no reason for me to conform to you, you're the issue. Issues are dealt with, not left alone.

>>436759
And those shows are just tired continuations of DBZ and Pokemon. Those shows are not made for kids, they're made for now grown-up nostalgiafags.
>>436765
your shitty analogy falls apart when you consider that
4chan is not an anime country
I am not imposing anything on anyone, I just want boards to discuss their designated topic without anime shitposters derailing every thread
>>436769
Too bad, you're not the king of 4chan. And again, if you don't like it you can leave.
>>435317
Agreed.
/a/ needs to fuckoff and die. Even since early /b/ days they've been leaking outside their cave thinking other boards need to be filled with thier shit when even moot told them to fuck off.
Weeabs are the OG cancer.
>>436769
>4chan is not an anime country
Maybe not a country but was an image board created for Japanese culture/anime.

>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.
>>436771
Top kek newfags pretending to be oldfags are the cutest thing
>>436772
yes, when it started
and then it actually became good when good boards were added
>>436771
>they've been leaking outside
Maybe because the site was based around anime? If it was created and based around western cartoons then that would be all over the site instead.
>>436772
why can't we get back to these days...?
>>436774
Just like Europe became good when it became a bunch of Muslim countries? Fuck off. Seriously it's people like you who make this site shit nowadays.
>go to anime site
>don't like anime
>invade in mass so that the original population becomes the minority
>this somehow is good
Why don't you make your own imageboard with no anime?
>>436780
I make the site shit because I want for boards to stay on topic? Okay you fucking retard, it's clear you'll go to any length to defend your autistic hobby, so I'll go ahead and withdraw from further talking with you.
>>436785

>I want for boards to stay on topic
An anime reaction image isn't automatically offtopic.
If anything there is far worse things to worry about offtopic wise. /sp/ where it talks about non-sport shit like sandwiches or /pol/ talking about porn or /v/ and /tv/ talking about e-celebs and so on.
Not sure why you are so bothered by anime with what I mentioned is more of a problem.
>>436791
>Not sure why you are so bothered by anime with what I mentioned is more of a problem
probably because this topic is about anime specifically
>>436785
this picture has never been so relevant
this level of retardation should be permabanned
>/a/ users don't use the rest of the site
>regularly post off-topic shitposting on other boards
Does not compute
Also, you should've put more input into your post, if you at least aknowledged the fact that not only /a/ is for posting anime images, then you might've gotten taken more seriously. The rule would just kill boards like /c/, /e/, /d/, unless it's meant in very specific way, in which case the rule would be a complete unuseable mess.
>>436803
That's actually a really good point.

oh mods...
>>435633
You're a shit eating EOP.
You are part of the reason why /a/ is so shit in general.
>>436691
How much content does /a/ discuss which isn't filtered through the lens of translation? Normalfags need translations to watch anime and read manga. Contemporary /a/utists are narcissistic snowflakes typical of normalfags these days.
>>436725
Americans are scum; what's your point?
>>436875
finlaly some words of wisdom itt
>>436875
we should rangeban all of america so 4chan is good again
>>436615
Why dont we purge all non anime boards? That way it will keep all cancer out and 4chan will become an anime site again
>>436898
Because weebs aren't the majority of anything anymore and Hiro likes site traffic.
>>436643
So you dont know anything about 4chan at all?
>>436900
So you're an idiot?
>>436901
If you think 4chan is and always was an anime site then you are the cancer that killed 4chan
Non anime-related boards were a mistake
-moot
>>436902
Japanese shit and culture was always the sites theme and the site is still deeply rooted into that shit and its culture. If you don't like that fact, use a different site instead of changing this one. lurk moar
Why do normies hate /a/ so much? Is it that provoking to have a place where you're not wanted?
>>436907
There was a 'don't' intended between 'you' and 'think'
My mistake
Culturally threatened by anime
>>436911
It's because the users of /a/ are the normies and it's hilarious when they embarrass themselves by suggesting otherwise.
>>436928
>uses the word normie
>thinks he himself insnt a normalfag
>>436932
Are you seriously trying to tell me the neonazis on /pol/ are more normal than weebs?
>>436938
>/a/ has their own definition of 'normie' that differs from everyone elses, the post

Normie is a world used by normalfags, and it is clear you dont even know what normalfag means

The ones spamming are not from /a/ but cancerous retards from reddit and /v/ who dont even watch anime
>>436953
Yeah right because cancerous retards from reddit and /v/ have extensive libraries of smug animu images
>>436953
If this is true, you should not object to banning anime outside /a/
you never leave your board anyway, right? that's what you implied
>>436938
I gotta tell you, nobody besides losers cares about being called a normalfag.
Abnormalfags are 8gaggers, bronies, gamergaters, circlejerkers, /pol/tards, fanboys, and faggots. So yeah it's more of a compliment.
>>436964
>8gaggers, bronies, gamergaters, circlejerkers, /pol/tards, fanboys, and faggots
These people are all as normal as it gets, with the possible exception of the circlejerkers depending on how far off the deep end they are.

Normie is a word made by modern /r9k/ which is nothing but normalfags.

It's a shitty tl;dr bait picture based on flawed logic and straw grasping in an effort to justify desktop thread-tier shitposting and circlejerking, topped off with those two retarded images at the end to further enflame the opposition.
When are you going to fuck off back to Usenet instead of shitting up this academic hypertext sharing network with banal memeposts about animated television shows?
>>436988
>flawed logic and straw grasping in an effort to justify desktop thread-tier shitposting and circlejerking
No it's not. The image is pretty fucking simple, it's telling you that anime posters aren't the fucking problem and that it is globally allowed, even if its a double standard. Because that's how forums fucking work. It's to illustrate the people who post anime aren't the problem, it's shitposters and people who fucking get upset about anime. The bottom image is there to illustrate that very fucking problem. No one gave two shits about the post your desktop threads filled with anime image until retards who misunderstood the site and think they shouldn't lurk came along and shit the place up with their shitposting.
>Usenet instead of shitting up this academic hypertext sharing network with banal memeposts about animated television shows?
This was never funny, shitposter-kun.

Anime posters are NOT the problem, it's an image, it's not against the rules to use it if it conveys what you want it to convey (or even if it doesn't.)
However, entitled, pretentious shitposters who hide behind "but I posted Anime and this is was an Anime-only website in 2005! coddle me and worship me!", spewing an essay-long "no u" when their shitposting lifestyle is threatened, they are the problem. Even if faggots like OP aren't aware of it.
>It's to illustrate the people who post anime aren't the problem, it's shitposters and people who fucking get upset about anime.
And crybabies like you who get upset about some retard's meaningless minority opinion on your "anime website" and come on here to whine and blog about it are perfectly okay?
Most communities that actually give a shit about fostering informative discussion and site-wide harmony would hand out a well-deserved ban to both of you.
>This was never funny, shitposter-kun.
It's not meant to be funny, it's meant to highlight that things change. This shithole's reputation as an ebin meme factory, combined with a proliferation of non-anime related boards fostering non anime-related topics, regardless of what it was originally founded for, have changed it, and it's time to accept it. Just as the internet is no longer a military and academic information sharing network, 4chan is no longer your blog where you can post whatever you want as long as it has anime attached to it, and you are not entitled because of what it used to be.
>/int/ and /vg/ get more traffic than /a/ nowadays
>/jp/ isn't among the top ten boards.
>smug /tv/, /sp/, and /pol/ pics are slowly replacing smug anime pics
>new non-anime boards getting created all the time
>weebs think they are still the point of the site because years old screenshots from the former admin
>mfw greentext quoting yer mum
These threads need to be banned on sight on here. Enough is enough with the /a/ bullshit. The only people getting triggered by /a/ are newfags who want this place to be for western topics and western topics only
Also I hate to break it to you retards who want /a/ gone, but the majority of mods and Hiro like /a/. So guess what? Deal with it. Maybe we should make a containment board for all you guys
>>437021
Most of modern 4chan doesn't understand the distinction between eastern and western in the first place.
>>437026
The only people who hate /a/ so badly are in here. I don't know why but /qa/ is turning into the anti /a/ board
>>437031
/a/ whines on /a/, anti-/a/ whines everywhere else.
>>437031
And if you are so fucking badly triggered by anime, then do 4chan a favor and just leave. You have plenty of other forums you can go to.
>>437034
This is the only place where the /a/ hate is out of control. The only people who hate anime on other boards are the shitposters who come from Neogaf, Facebook, and that other place I can't mention because the mods will ban me. But it starts with R and ends with T

>>437031
Oh please just stop pretending like you speak for a majority of 4chan. You don't. The weeb boards are defacto legacy containment boards left over from an earlier iteration of 4chan that no longer exists whether you or the mods like it or not. It's not something that any specific individual did or didn't do, it has to do with the waning popularity of the fad of anime in the west. It has nothing to do with overall subscription numbers increasing, which you will no doubt cite, but instead everything to do with anime being entirely normal and mainstream today and seen by the vast majority of the rest of the site (where the traffic is) as a quaint throwback to a different time or worse, a disruption to the board/thread topic at hand..
>>437037
See this is what I love about you anti-/a/ fags. You always bring up the following:
>The weeb boards are containment boards
>That part of 4chan no longer exists!
>Anime is dying in the west!
>The rest of 4chan hates anime!
And then of course you try and act so smart with your wording making it seem like you know what you're talking about, when it reality you're just a butthurt faggot who keeps getting triggered over images like this. /a/ doesn't care what you think. In fact they laugh their asses off at you people constantly knowing you get so butthurt over this.
You know what? Lets make a containment board for all you guys. It'll be a shitposting board where you can shitpost memes all day, talk shit about Japan and anime, and just run around and be a massive faggot. Would that sound wonderful to you?
>>437039
We keep bringing up because it's laughable when you try to deny it.
>>437037
>containment boards
Opinion disregarded. This comment by default negates everything else you said, because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
>>437040
Its laughable because you get so butthurt over it. You so desperately want 4chan to be something its not, and its hilarious watching you try and fail to shill it time and time again
>>436651
>My question is: "why?"
>Ban Naruto from /a/ and then what?
>/a/ will just start complaining about the next thing that triggers them and ask for another containment board.
The irony
>>436660
Except ponies. You're completely overlooking the fact that anime is explicitly used to derail threads, exactly like ponies were.
>post anime pic
>comment to yourself about "worst girl"
>try to start off-topic conversation

/a/ seriously does have the worst posters outside of the big three (/b/, /v/, /pol/).

>"Fuck off secondary, read the LN which was translated by a 14 year old Chinese kid"
>>436683
The funny thing is that that's exactly what /a/ is like. /a/ has made a number of things bannable due to not wanting newfags to post before they learn to fit in. /v/, which is more popular than /a/ by far, should be allowed the same courteously.
To quote a phrase you guys like so much, "lurk moar."
>>437083
>implying all of those are /a/nons and not generalfags
Every fucking board with generals has those retards and /a/ has been trying to get the mods to ban the retards again for years.
>>436744
Kids love Adventure Time and Steven Universe. They don't watch anime.
>>437085
I don't know man, I think anti-general anons are in the minority now.
>>437090
No, the anti-general anons are still the majority. However, the mods clearly don't want to put the effort in and do their job and clean up after their mess, so they are catering to the generalfag minority instead to prevent backlash. I seriously doubt Kinomod is with us anymore.
We need a new accel spammer.
>>437092
>muh "kinomod"
This is why /a/ is cancer. They lick the asshole of any mod that gives them a name.
Authoritarian little faggots the lot of them.
>>437087
Untrue. Anime's popularity has only increased with the advent of services like Crunchyroll and Netflix.
