Anime should be banned on all boards excluding ones that are dedicated to anime (e.g: /a/, /c/, /u/, /h/)
Ponyfags are banned because they are cancerous plebs, so should weaboos. It's the same idea, but different (and sometimes the same) people. They both fawn over shitty cartoons, invade boards and post off-topic WITH their shitty cartoons, and in general are just shitposters who contribute nothing to the threads they post in except for their shitty waifu or whatever garbage japanese frankestein drawing they can conjure up.
I'm not saying anime should be banned from ALL of 4chan , I'm not saying japanese content that applies too certain boards (JRPGs on /v/ or Japanese makes on /o/) should be banned, I'm saying people who derail threads with their shitty cartoons should have their posts deleted, and if they're repeat offenders, banned.
You don't see /v/irgins invading /a/ and posting Duke Nukem in all the threads, why should it be allowed the other way around?

I dont really agree with this but id love to see the butthurt that would result.
Didn't you already post this thread? Feels like everyone's just now noticing all the banana spam and rushing to repost their /qa/ shitpösts.
you dont seem to understand...
4chan was founded on anime, you can go elsewhere, if you dont like it.

at least on reddit people only post what content is suitable for their dedicated boards :^)

If 4chan isn't an anime website then explain why it has an anime girl in the background of äll pages.

did somebody roast you, using a smug anime reaction pic?

It triggers me to see images where someone clearly just clicked the "flip horizontal" button. I can tell yours is wrong because Karen's hairpin is on the wrong side. Please use this from now on.

Fuck off.
4chan is not an anime website.
>>501961
That post is from 2003, before inbreds like you bastardized the term 'weeaboo' and decided its definition was "anyone who has ever enjoyed anything from Japan ever". As arrogant and annoying as the smug_anime.png posters of the present day are, they're completely different from the Wapanese faggots that were around a decade ago.
>>502001
protip: you are the inbred normalfag. go back to /r/manga
>>501961
That post is in an anime forum. It's obviously directed at anime fans.
>>501784
I don't know what anime you're talking about, out of its spaces, unless you're mad at Reaction Images.
Which, if you understand them to be indistinguishable from Image Macros, are already against the rules on every board except for /b/ (and I guess /r9k/ and /s4s/ and /trash/, as those are all variations on /b/)
It's a rule that is never enforced, though.
>>501993
Yes it is.
Fuck off to Reddit if you don't like anime
This thread is definately bait concerning the fact that 99% of flamewars on /qa/ are about 4chan being an anime website or not
But i'll bite:
4chan's ,MAIN topic is anime and manga related stuff. However that is NOT THE ONLY topic.
Other topics would be: Video Games, Music, Art,
>>502052
forgot to add etc in the end...
>>502052
Correct.
Japanese culture has always been it's main focus, but then the immigrants from other sites came and started thinking they have more rights than it's actual citizens.
Video related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b0QRnufms-0#t=730
>>501993
You again with this shit argument? Do you realize that "wanting an active and diverse community" has nothing to do with the site being focused around Japanese culture or not? Are you even aware that 2chan is mostly an otaku-oriented website (not to be confused with 2ch, which is a lot more diverse in both userbase and topics)? If he wanted to model 4chan after 2chan then he wanted OTAKUS with an interest in Japanese culture to be his primary userbase.
>>502083
There are many different kinds of otakus, even train otakus. 2chan is not an anime website, it's a nerd website.
moot wanted otakus/nerds of all kinds to come to his new website.
>YOU'RE REDDIT!
>nuh-uh, YOU'RE Reddit!
>OH YEAH? WELL YOU'RE GAIA/9GAG/FACEBOOK/etc.
I hate this fucking site sometimes.
>>502099
Anime and manga otakus are the most common though.
>moot wanted otakus/nerds of all kinds to come to his new website
That is right, but his main targeted audience were otakus with an interest in Japanese culture.
>>502106
>GAIA/9GAG/FACEBOOK
>reddit/8gag/tumblr
I think it's weird how everyone always ignores twitter when having this argument
>>502110
Twitter is different, I don't know how to put it into words. It's primarily used by normalfags but unlike Facebook it actually can serve a purpose for the people that come here and don't have a social life. I'm sure many people from /v/ have throwaway accounts to follow developers, /tv/ to follow actors/directors, /mu/ for musicians/labels, and so on.
>>502029
>Which, if you understand them to be indistinguishable from Image Macros
That's not what an image macro is, though. Not that the rule is enforced for actual image macros either.
>>502112
This was posted in one of the anime sub-forums of SA, you dumb fuck. He meant that he didn't want people like pic related on his site, not normal fans of anime and Japanese culture in general.
>post /v/ image

Stay mad, faggots. 4chan will never, ever be your anime-free hugbox. If you don't like it, try pretty much any other online forum.
>>502112
>all those old senior regulars zomg
this is true, moot firstly advertised 4chan on #raspberryheaven, then on ADTRW which made the original userbase animu&manga otakus
however he then soon advertised 4chan via SA banners which attracted a lot of FYAD posters and GBS posters.
most of /b/'s oldfags were FYAD posters.
but still the website was heavily influenced by ADTRW and futuba which made it heavily connect to Otaku culture and Japanese culture.
dont got any proof but I've seen a lot of oldfags on FYAD mention that the big portion of the userbase were FYAD and GBS goons.
It was even mentioned in the beginning of every fucking Otakon panel that 4chan is an image discussion board dedicated to discuss things such as Anime, Manga and other Japanese and Otaku related stuff but that was FAR from being the only topic nor being necessarily the main topic, other main topics were video games, art, music, technology etc etc...
>>502125
moot himself said raspberryheaven/FYAD never made a significant portion of the userbase. Don't have the screencap with me here right now, but it was posted here once. He said most of the early users outside of ADTRW came from other sites.
>>502125
I forgot to add that these flamewars about 4chan being an anime website or not are mostly started by trolls, fueled by trolls and revolve around trolls trolling other trolls
>>502130
Roleplaying? What do you mean? Never saw any of it besides the occasional ERPing faggotry, but it's not even allowed on /a/. Those posters often get bans for it. It happens way more often on boards like /int/, /v/, /vg/, etc because the moderation is way lighter over there and they use it to their advantage.
Most of /a/ knows how to "hide their power level" unlike real weeaboos which are very open and autistic about it.
>>502137
And he didn't really target the rest of SA by the way if his claims about raspberryheaven/FYAD never making a significant portion of the userbase are to be believed.
>>502132
I was more talking about the originals that came from SA.
I remember that most goons outside ADTRW and FYAD disliked 4chan. read the SAclopedia page about 4chan...
Back then the FYAD userbase was much bigger than it is today, ADTRW was only a small subforum where you could go and discuss anime without being banned on the spot.
>>502137
>Most of /a/ knows how to "hide their power level"
Are you sure about that? I'm not so sure. They certainly don't hold back their autism on this site, at least.
That behaviour is just what moot mocked in the past.
>x is cute, CUTE!
>>502130
I'm not even saying you have to like anime, anon. I'm just saying you have to be able to look at an anime or manga-related picture like this one without flying into a sperg rage if you're going to spend any time on this site. Or you could spend your time complaining about the stupidest shit imaginable, I guess it's ultimately your choice.
>>502147
It's one thing to be open about liking anime or Japanese culture on a site that was intended for them and it's other to do that that shit in real life.
>That behaviour is just what moot mocked in the past.
>x is cute, CUTE!
It's a little stupid, but I don't see it being on the same level as "SASUKE-KUN DESU NIWA ^_^". Those kind of people are kinda rare nowadays anyway.
>>501798
>its all otoko no ko stuff
i welcome our new femboy overlords

>His targeted audience was all of SA, not just that sub-forum.
Why would he pick ADTRW instead of some other sub-forum?
>x is cute, CUTE!
This may be stupid but it's not roleplaying by any stretch of the definition. Sometime X really is cute.

>go back to gaia
Did you just discover Encyclopedia Dramatica?
>>502166
>Why would he pick ADTRW instead of some other sub-forum?
Because moot was an ADTRW regular. also a lot of other ADTRW regulars helped him out with the site.
>>502150
The closest thing to what you've said today are the ironic "NOTICE ME SENPAI" weeaboos. There has been a resurgence in obnoxious weebery thanks to PewDiePie and other retarded faggots spreading this garbage.
>>502176

>>501784
>You don't see /v/irgins invading /a/ and posting Duke Nukem in all the threads, why should it be allowed the other way around?
Because the majority of the users on this site, excluding underaged /b/, /v/, /tv/, Etc. users, like some Japanese cartoons, while Duke Nukem isn't super popular.
>>502204
Only middle and high schools girls go around and say that shit.
>>501784
But /pol/, /r9k/ and /v/ invade /a/ all of the time and shitpost with obvious bait threads.
You're just mad that your kind isn't allowed to troll and bait anymore.
You guys do a horrible job at it as well.
Nobody has explained the anime girl. I knew it. Yöu can't refute this evidence.
