Make /moe/ board for moeshit so the rest of people can discuss anime without manchildren circlejerking their waifus
>>517564
This site doesn't have sub-reddits OP. I think you're lost.
>>517565
>implying that /a/ doesn't have a problem.
Honestly, they should just use /c/ and /e/ the same way as they use /m/.
It isn't limited to moe, it's pervasive among virtually all anime discussion there. See >>516303
Just start banning a ton of people. F/a/gs will whine about how they were banned for normal posting, and they'll show their ban, which will be something like "Sakura is cute! CUTE!!!", and it will at least be understandable why their post was deleted. The problem with /a/ is that the mods are just as cancerous as the posters are, and believe the "board culture" there is in any way worth protecting.
>>517574
There is absolutely no problem with /a/. Prove me wrong (you can't).
>>517564
>without manchildren
You're talking about /a/, right? Impossibru.
>>517577
>Prove me wrong (you can't).
This sentence alone proves you are a cancerous individual who should fuck off.
>>517579
I'm not the one complaining without a good reason to. You could always leave if it bothers you so much.
>>517582
I left /a/ several years ago. If you read that post and you think there's nothing wrong with any of it then you're honestly a child or a retard.
>>517588
>I left /a/ several years ago.
Then you found a solution to your problem. Why should this even be subject to further discussion if you fixed it already?
>>517588
The world isn't black and white my son, and in any situation there are always more than two choices.
>>517591
I would like a decent board to discuss anime, but /a/ is one of the only boards on this website where looking at the catalog genuinely disgusts me. I cannot believe an intelligent person can be on 4chan for longer than a year and tolerate that board.
>>517594
>I cannot believe an intelligent person can be on 4chan for longer than a year and tolerate that board.
Fortunately, the world doesn't revolve around you, Anon.
>>517597
No, it doesn't revolve around me, but /a/ has the shittiest reposts done over and over again. It's tired and full of retards posting softcore porn and getting mad at people who post VLC filenames or say that they aren't finding google image results. /a/ is filled endless bitching about nonissues while the board is cancer to the bone. It's a fucking ball pit at Chuck-E Cheese.
>>517600
>and getting mad at people who post VLC filenames
And they're right. VLC is shit. You should be using mpv.
>>517603
Who fucking cares? Seriously, who gives a shit? All you're doing is shitting up the thread when you pretend to care so much about board quality. I use mpv but I'm not some fucking retard who whines when people use something else. /a/ is filled with people jostling for superiority, but they're doing it in the most stagnant, boring, and repetitive ways. I'm a good poster, you're a /v/tard, I'm an oldfag, you're a newfag, I like Uchouten Kazoku, you like Naruto. You don't look smart when you imitate shit people have been doing for over half of a decade. /a/ is filled with honest morons thinking they're intellectuals because they parrot self-preening bullshit on an anime board.
>>517594
>I cannot believe an intelligent person can be on 4chan for longer than a year and tolerate that board.
Well, you are right about that much. There aren't (many) intelligent people there. There are few intelligent people anywhere on 4chan.
>>517612
On slower boards for very niche interests intelligent hobbyists aren't really repulsed the way they are on faster media boards. There are also some boards that are just smarter than other ones, and are probably above average in intelligence. For the most part it's very rare to read something insightful on 4chan though.
>>517605
lol uv'e nevre had sex
>>517616
Not even true.
>>517618
Prove it
>>517564
Someone made a suggestion to split /a/ into /as/ - seasonal anime and /ar/ - retro anime/.
I think it'd be a good idea desu, it'd give people who are just getting into anime a chance to discuss older series they were recommended.
ITT: I'm a newfag why doesn't this site have my favorite subreddit?
>>517670
Why does everyone want 4chan to be so fucking boring in the last few years?
This site didn't start out as high-quality and deeply insightful discussion, so why do you want to turn it into that now?
You know it goes both ways too right? Those people who think they're professional anime critics are extremely annoying to some people too.
They come into a thread about some old anime and post this deep analysis about character relationships and crap and conclude that "your favorite show is shit". Who fucking cares? There's no like button here, I can't subscribe to that faggots blog. It's a fucking cartoon, I really don't care about your analysis.
Why don't you just want to have fun on 4chan? That's what it's for.
and don't give me that "moe pigs only talk about their waifus" crap because not everyone does that. The whole idea of a waifu is of course just a joke, and it is heavily overused today.
So go call those people newfags or something, get annoyed at them for abusing something, not the whole genre, and not at the idea of having fun on /a/ as a whole.
Sometimes I almost wish you faggots would get what you're asking for. You'd come to 4chan and be bored out of your fucking mind.
>>517808
Lengthy, intelligent criticism is always great. If you can't defend something you like and you get mad that just means you're dumb.
Groundhog day tier reposts are not fun. /a/ isn't fun. Your life isn't fun.
>>517814
This is like going to an amusement park and someone stops you and says
>excuse me sir, did you know this ride is objectively shit because of X and Y?
>If you can't defend your enjoyment of this ride and are finding me to be an annoying cunt then that just means you're dumb.
and I only brought that up to say "it goes both ways". Everyone should be able to post what they want, but why are there so many people these days that just want all threads on /a/ to be 100% constructive and insightful discussion.
Do you think My Anime List forum discussions are good? If you want to hear the same pretentious criticism comparing chinese cartoons to some set of objective standards all day then just go use that website instead.
>>517808
>The whole idea of a waifu is of course just a joke, and it is heavily overused today.
It may have started as a joke but it no longer is.
The rest of your post is spot-on.
>>517819
>just go to a website capable of discussion if you want to discuss anime, I want to put the names of anime girls into posting templates and talk about fiction fourteen year olds' feet
Your life is indefensible and you have no dignity to speak of. Hiro should make a board for you called /retard/
>>517822
It seems like you have a terminal case of stick up your ass. There's no cure.
Please just try not to be a burden on the rest of us.
>oh gosh, this guy insulted me it must mean he likes all the things I dislike, and dislikes all the things I like
You're trying to paint me as your enemy, when my real position is: Just fucking let people post what they want. If people aren't literally spamming it and yet that content is so prevalent on that board that it's a problem for you, then do you know what that means? It probably means you're the outcast there, not the people you dislike.
>>517670
Fucking retard
>>517605
Can you even remember the last time someone was called out on using VLC? What killed /a/ was losing the elitist attitude, it was the only thing keeping tumblr/reddit/gaia/DA or any other shithole from taking the place over.
What's left are sub-communities completely divided from each other who do nothing but circle jerk. Its nothing but a shitty MAL forum, except without the variety of actually having a forum for each anime. Its actually harder to find current airing shows then a general for one that ended a year ago.
>>517999
the elitism on /a/ was totally pointless and only made /a/ a circlejerk of autists
>>518001
Yes, because current /a/, with almost 25% of the board being a general at anyone time, is so much better because the elitist circle jerks are gone. If you don't have an elitist mindset, then your board will quickly get overrun by people with an elitist mindset different from yours.
Think of it this way, if liberals weren't constantly called out on /pol/ it would take less then a year to completely erode the current right wing culture and replace it with a left wing one that called out right wingers the same way. If you think "elitism" is bad, why don't you let in a couple of strangers into your house and tell them they don't have to follow any of your rules.
>>518009
But 4chan told me ignoring everything was the answer
>>518010
ignore what that guy said
>>517574
If that list is the worst you can say about /a/ then I don't know how you use the rest of this site, especially this board.
>>517999
>gaia
Kill yourself. This is proof that you're a retard parroting things passed down from six years ago. Gaia is dead and they are not a threat to anything.
/a/ is shit with or without generals.
>>517574
Reminder that /a/ is the board with stockholm syndrome to the point where forced fish spam is actively accepted and encouraged by the mods.
>>517564
>there is people out there who seriously think older anime is good and think modern anime is too fan servcy
>there is people out there who seriously complain about moeshit unironically despite kawaii being just as popular at that time
Always funny. If anything, older anime was even more fan servcy. Example.
>>517564
Go discuss manime somewhere else. Every other anime community on the web agrees with you.
>>517570
There is no problem with /a/. If anything, the problem is with all the boards that aren't /a/
>>519652
>There is no problem with /a/
>>520775
How about you actually counteract his point, and post some legitimately things wrong instead of stupid fishposting?
>>520788
There is nothing to refute, oinly complete newfags or retards like you actually believe it
>>520799
/a/utists are even worse
>>520788
>fishposting
Now that's some good bait.
>>520805
Let's see some real arguments pal. You're just making your side look like a bunch of hypocrites if all you can say is 'nu-uh they're worse'.
>>520825
The people who think /a/ is good think so because they have fun there.
Why is this so hard for people to get, and why the fuck do you care if people on /a/ like their board or not?
The amount of people that just want to destroy /a/ lately giving the argument that "they have the nerve to think their board is good" is really kind of sad. What is it that makes someone upset at that? Does other people enjoying themselves online annoy these people because their own board is such trash or something?
That being said: No, I do not personally think /a/ is good. I think there's too many generals there and I think the users are actually too dumb to even realize that /a/ is like at least 50% generals.
But those are valid reasons to say it's not good, not this "they're bad cause they think they're good" garbage.
>>517564
If four months of whining will get you a quest board, there's hope for /moe/
Actually I almost want this to happen just because I think it would be a shining example of the difference between people who know how to relax and have fun and people who only care about "muh quality".
