Mods discussion only?

Maybe everyone is just happy with 4chan right now. Or no one goes to it anymore.

The past two days on /v/ have been great.

>/sp/ mods being even bigger cock hawks than usual
>random bans and deletions, everything except game threads and generals are likely to be deleted
>people keep trying to shitpost in retaliation
>boring generals with random shortlived splerg of shitposting
>everything is terrible and fun is no longer allowed
>CL finals are coming up
>mfw

Mods (and flags) are truely the cancer of /sp/.

>>378297
I'm not happy but the same complains still being valid months after months kind of ran me dry of complaints to make that aren't copy pasta.

>/a/

>>378508
someone was saying how the tumblrettes would descend on /a/ with the new season of such and such a show, and I found myself thinking "how could more of a womans' touch possibly hurt those motherfuckers more than they hurt themselves?"

>>378527
Neckbeards and Legbeards mix like bleach and ammonia. It never made anything better.

>>378508
They're right, though. Being a woman is great... provided you're attractive and between the ages of 16 and 22. It's a fucking hellzone in every other case. If I was a girl and I wasn't incredibly attractive, I'd want to kill myself.

>>378547
>Neckbeards and Legbeards mix like bleach and ammonia. It never made anything better.
>implying mustard gas killing /a/ wouldn't make it better
>when everything is cleared and all the idiots dead, rational people can discuss anime

Quickly, someone find out the formula for killing /v/. I need it.

>>378547
>They're right, though. Being a woman is great... provided you're attractive and between the ages of 16 and 22. It's a fucking hellzone in every other case. If I was a girl and I wasn't incredibly attractive, I'd want to kill myself.

Nope, not even then.

>>378547
Not even if you're tremendously attractive because no-one will ever take you seriously. Plus 50% of people will just want to fuck you, the other 50% will resent you to some degree.

>>378578
Has somebody told you that? Because you sure as fuck aren't talking out of personal experience.

>>378578
I can understand your bitterness, but
> no-one will ever take us seriously
>100% of people are biased against women in some way or form
I think women like you are part of the reason we're not taken more seriously.

What happened to the old thread?

>>378610

It got sent to Hell.

>>378580
Of course I'm not talking from experience, I'm fat. I will generally be treated like ass regardless of how otherwise attractive I am. However, I do have eyes, ears, and modest observational skills.

>>378660
Again, I understand your bitterness, but
>I do have eyes, ears, and modest observational skills.
>make a sweeping generalization about the entire human population
>>378586

>>378691
It was an exaggeration for effect, anon. I did not mean that if you are an attractive woman, exactly 3.5billion people will want to fuck you and 3.5billion people will resent you. Come on now son, most people don't need disclaimers to realise that sometimes people say things that aren't word for word literally true, even if they are bizarrely fixing for a pointless internet arguement.

>>378695
It's not so much that as the implication that we're social pariahs (which we are in some places)
But I apologize regardless, both for my incompetence and aiding in derailing the thread.

So I was just thinking the other day...
I was lucky enough to be a contributing part of /co/ during its "golden age" of sorts, but left after I started to find it unbearable.
I feel kinda silly, but the thing that saddens me the most is the thought that future /co/mrades (god, haven't used that word in years) won't have the same community filled with creative energy to reinforce the enjoyment of their favorite series.
Or maybe that's the nostalgia.
I heard somewhere that /co/ was reforming, and I visited recently, but was met with nothing but waifu threads. Maybe I caught them at a bad time, but I feel that I would have been disappointed regardless of what I found due to nostalgia goggles.

>>378730
Here's a protip: if you want a community to improve, become a part of it, and do your best to improve it. Don't beg for things. Do it yourself. Or else you won't get anything.

>>378768
Well, I actually did participate regularly, and then did my best to "steer it in a better direction " to try and set something of an example on a regular basis for roughly two years after I began to find the place intolerable. My threads tended to be received positively, but didn't cause any noticeable impact, perhaps because they weren't good enough, or perhaps because of the changing environment and the newer posters not responding in the way I would have hoped.
Eventually, I realized it was eating up way too much of my time and effort to do it daily, and I visited less and less, until I stopped altogether--given how much time I used to waste, it could have been a blessing in disguise anyway.
Anyway, despite the point of this thread, my post was more out of feeling oddly wistful than wanting to complain.

>>378768

Easy to say, almost impossible to achieve. Especially when 4chan is so much like the lowest common demeanor when it comes to niche interests.

I mean, the large groups behave just like kids on MTV would or something. Flavor of the month, everything is shit, we are smart, everybody else is dumb, rabble rabble!

>>378768
> become a part of it, and do your best to improve it. Don't beg for things. Do it yourself.

curious to see how you believe this work in practice. You don't improve a nob of people by just acting different from them.

>>378830
Flying against the swarm directly is often a losing battle. True impact is often lost to the masses, especially in one of the last great bastions of the Internets' "Id", places where nothing is forbidden and everything is allowed.

If I could put the best methodology, imo, into a single phrase, I think it would have to be "don't get angry". This is kind of about trolling, but it's also kind of about the fact that a perfectly legitimate conversation generally does devolve into a shit-flinging insult-a-thon. And we like that, as people, we like that emotional payment we get in the form of righteous indignation; somebody is wrong on the internet and I am winning the debate.

But it's not really about winning. Not here. Yeah I beat the other persons' points down into the ground and called them a fag and where does that really get me? Do they really ever stop and consider what I have to say when I do that? Or do they just resent me for dominating them in the fight? I'm still running in the special olympics here and my point probably didn't even come across.

Keeping your cool online is difficult. You can read so much stuff that is just stupid, ignorant, racist, misinformed, bullshit, and a half a dozen other words for "not technically correct". And that's just when you're arguing something that has a technical correctness, like a model specification. Arguments about ethereal things like Emotions or God usually devolve much more quickly.

But you can't really make anyone believe anything, you can only make them think. And that is best done by presenting a viewpoint they may not have considered before. Not angrily, not with hostility, but rather trying to explain why it is that you believe the way you do. Perhaps, if you do not insult your opponent, they may actually respect your tone enough to consider your viewpoint.

But it is not the kind of attitude I would attempt to stare down all the racists on /b/ with. Some fights are insurmountable, especially online where the most oft used weapon is undoubtedly "harsh language". Such change as that will have to come without from the posters' own personal lives before it will come from within, and it is rare that a paragraph has so moved a man that he has abandoned all his good hunting and drinking buddies that he will recant all his friends.

I think this is the best method; do not treat others' opinions as pure madness and nonsense, even if they are barking.

>>378897
sage for longwinded pretentious bullshit

anyone else cant access the site from mobiles?

The waifu cancer must stop. Even mother fucking /ck/ is starting to have them. /co/ is now literally 50% waifu with people who actively shitpost and highjack threads that aren't waifushit. Fuck.

>>378911
I can, but I can't turn off the quick reply function so I have to manually copy and paste the post number if I want to respond to something.

>>378818
This is kind of a weird question but were you a Space Ghost thread person? I remember there was a period where there were some really great Space Ghost threads and the anon making them said he just wanted to improve the board and maybe influence others to do the same.

>>378822
>>378818
Well, I been a regular contributor for 3 years, and have nothing to really complain about. That, and I don't believe all those stories about how *insert board of choice* used to be good. Even if they come from people "who were there".

And if the site really downgraded, here is a question: does this place provide a good alternative? When I make threads here, nobody wants to post, because nobody cares. At least on regular /co/ there are a few people who might share my interests.

ALSO, I thought this was a thread about moderation.

>Some guy starts an ass thread and threatens to flip the table and delete it because of a few people posting Violet

Jesus...

>>378961
Who?

>>378958
>Well, I been a regular contributor for 3 years, and have nothing to really complain about. That, and I don't believe all those stories about how *insert board of choice* used to be good. Even if they come from people "who were there".
That's pretty interesting--perhaps it has to do with when each of us first went to /co/. Though I confess to possibly being under the influence of nostalgia goggles, I do remember that "golden age" to have a much higher standard for threads. I would take a break from it every now and then, but would still find it fun and familiar when I came back.
After this period ended, I remember coming back and finding it virtually unrecognizable.
But that just from my perspective.
I do feel that there has been a more than noticeable decline in quality, but I don't really blame any particular group of people for it. I think it's more that 4chan has grown a bit more in the public eye and therefore attracted a greater range of people, including younger teens. The time I visited recently, the board more closely resembled a youtube comment section than what I remembered.
But again, perhaps it's just my rose-tinted glasses of the old days.

>>378978
There's a pretty reasonable explanation for that, being that as a shitty teen you tend to be more tolerant towards shitty teen posts. But as you grow older, not so much anymore.

>>378768
Look who's talking.

>>378961
If I had to guess, he probably wanted an ass thread, not a pedo thread.

>>378978
It's not 4chan imo, it's the internet around it. 4 years ago, good place for content were rare and hardly populated. People would actually dig through tons of moonrunes blog to find goo art download it, then put it on 4chan for everyone.
Nowaday, we have tumblr, facebook and tons of pornographic aggregators. People don't have to dig, and when they find stuff, they use 4chan more or less as an ad banner to get people to get it on its original place.
The concept of "4channer" is now lost, since people are actually more emotionally linked to more socially rewarding places, and come on 4chan to feel a little bit more special and attract people to their place.
So in the end, the flow of data has been inverted. People used to go on 4chan to make discoveries, now they are just going there to get links for better sites.

>>378981
I meant to say that it now attracts more teens, and not that I was a shitty teen. Although I was.
However, I got the sense that by being surrounded by people that weren't shitty teens, I gradually got assimilated into the culture. Whereas now, I get the impression the shitty part is no longer the minority, and thus the non-shitty part is what adapts to the shitty part, and not the other way around like I feel it used to.
My being a shitty teen may very well have been a part of it, but I'm fairly positive that the decline in quality has been real.

How is dis possebull?

>>379044
/vg/ is only shit for people with shit taste.

>>379052
So you're fucking retarded, we all know this already. Say something surprising.

>>379053
Great comeback. You sure showed him up good. But no really, the quality of /vg/ depends entirely on the generals you frequent.

>>379070
Thanks man, I thought for a long time which synonym of stupid to use.
And /vg/ sucks. A board of threads all acting like a board with all the memes and "culture" and clique mentality of it crammed in just makes it a quantum shit pile.

Sure, this general might be OK, and that game's generals are OK, but this is a lump average of the whole board and there's far more worst parts of /v/ there than there are good parts of /v/.

/pol/ are making a nuisance of themselves in /tg/. Nothing they can't handle, though.
>>378768
I still storytime there just so I know that, for a few hours at least, there'll be one less crappy thread on the front page.
>>378958
>That, and I don't believe all those stories about how *insert board of choice* used to be good. Even if they come from people "who were there".
Even when I first started lurking on /co/, there was this talk about "daytime /co/" and "nighttime /co/", and one was better than the other for some nebulous reason that I could never figure out.

>>379282
Back in the day (waaaaay back) nighttime /co/ was about 50/50 North America/Europe. Most of the discussion around these hours was more mature/thought-out, in part because the board was slower and in part because the posters involved seemed to be older (and also less likely to be interested in most cartoons, topics were mostly about comics.)

IMO, back then "Daytime /co/" was still fine, but you were more likely to see multiple threads for the same thing on Page 1, spam, shitposting, stupid discussions, etc. Not nearly as bad as it seems now, though.

>>379286
This also has factors in the "cartoons and comics should split" debate.

>>379398
how is that a debate? it always comes in threads where people want to legitimate their shitposting by antagonizing the other half of hte board. Typically now it's about calling people who hate your favorite waifu cartoon "capefag" or people who dislike your comics "tumblr"

>>379282

/tg/ can't handle anything. In fact, they propably ignore it, declare it board related, make a quest thread about it and try to shoehorn it into some Universe/stupid selfmade RPG.

/tg/ is like a time capsule ... nothing ever changes, deep down.

Mods are finally cracking down on cosplay threads outside of /cgl/. I hope this is permanent.

>>379441
Word. Now they need to hit books about cartoons outside of /lit/, movies about superheroes outside of /tv/, video game music threads outside of /mu/, hur durpa frrrrrrrt
That's you. That's what's coming out of your mouth.

Not really complaining, but GUYS LOOK AT THIS:
http://boards.4chan.org/co/res/50403024

>>379458
No.

>>379455
Except all of those threads come without drama. And I also kinda agree with the movie threads outside of /tv/.

>anime n' manga vs toons and comics thread on /co/

>>379507
they come with porn most of the time, and also cycle once finished even if literally nobody posted except the image dumper.
They are shitposting by nature.

I think it's time for me to stop going to 4chan. It's far too popular these days and filled with sexist drivel. Nobody contributes anything anymore, either.

It sucks to be a girl and see all this garbage, I know it's 4chan and it's to be expected occasionally, but it was never this frequent until recently.

All the spin-off boards haven't been doing too well either. The age of the anonymous message board is over, I guess.

>>379597
Well, it is summer. Even so, so long as people think there's no repercussion for their actions, they're going to spout asinine drivel they wouldn't otherwise (maybe). I realise that's a rather apathetic view of the internet, but aside from arguing with political wankers or whatever it is that personally ticks you off, there's nothing you or I can do. Your best bet for a carefree internet experience is to ignore the bad parts and cherish the good ones. If that means not visiting a site for a while because there's more awful bits than you can put up with, that may be best.

I'm also pretty done with 4chan. I only browse /toy/. There's a ton of shitposting and I'm getting sick of reporting it all because there's just so much. I'm not even kidding.

http://archive.heinessen.com/toy/thread/S3514400

This was one of the more recent horrible examples. It's a bad thread to begin with but look at all the posts about /a/. This goes on in almost every thread about Japan-related shit nowadays. I always report it and hide it but it's getting to the point when I report so much of it in a thread I don't even feel like participating in it afterwards

I know this sounds like I'm someone who reports every little thing but I'm really not, there's just always a ton of these weird spam-y shitposts

Oh great. Janitors with personal vendettas are always fun.

>>379620
>>379597
Sad to hear, but fully understandable. These sites act as a draw for the horrible "id" of humanity, those terrible feelings and passions everyone keeps bottled up. Gazing into the spattering is generally not helpful, and only grants true vision in the most obtuse of senses. Looking at someones' pain made manifest is never a pleasant thing, and all the more unpleasant for being dressed up as anything more than simple pain.

It is a shame we would lose your voice but, it would not be so bad for you.

I told someone on /v/ he might be taking videogames a bit too seriously. I wasn't prepared for the shitstorm.

>>379655
Could you link to the thread on the Love is Over archive?

>>379663
Sorry I didn't really keep a bookmark on it. It was in one of those gaming "journalism" threads. I think the OP image was the Giant Bomb crew.

How come that every thread about a major superhero movie turns into a mini-/v/an? No, seriously, I go in there and be the tone and way of argument I think I'm on on /v/. Christ, why?

>>379694
because most of those threads are viral marketers applying the ame recipe they use on /v/ to create a buzz.

>>379695
And Super Hero movies are like the Angry Birds and Farmville of Comics.
With them comes wave after wave of newfag, casual, and moron claiming to be a fan of Marvel for a long time because they saw Dark Knight. Hilarious that you can't go to /tv/ either because they'll tell you from the other side of the fence to fuck off too.

Not much /pol/ related, but Ukrainian IPs have been banned from 4chan for six months already. I'm afraid that I'll forget how to post until unban. Which will never happen.

What is even happening on /a/ right now?

>>379803
Moot is drunk or something

>/v/ janitor deletes the only thread on the frontpage that's actually about videogames

/mlp/ is whining and trolling all over /q/ about the mods cracking down on their shit posting and porn

/co/ has become a maelstrom of trolling.

What did they do to this meme? Yeesh.

got banned again ;_;

>>379831
sunburned to death. welcomed to Summer 4chan, were meme are a religion and board an excuse to be stupid.

>>379860
Summer 4chan is a fucking myth. It's the same shit all year.

>>379951
"summer 4chan is a myth" is a myth. Been lurking there 10 hours a day for enough years to see the difference. Basically everyday become as shitty as weekends, eliminating the few hours of actual discussion the place gets during working hours

>that one guy in /mu/ that spams every attempted sharethread with shitty Swedish gospel and nursery songs

How can one fanny fandango have so much cocking Swedish shit on his hard-drive? Where does he even find this garbage?

>>379957

but moot himself has said that the traffic in the summer is largely same as it is in the other season

>>379996
Lately I've been wondering if the increased level of shitposting during summer is simply because of the heat. Cranky, sweating people, letting their tempers get the better of them and venting their slightest frustrations.

>>379996
Moot says a lot of things but isn't immune to prove his shit if he wants to be believed.

>>380013
The increased level of shitposting is people getting upset over posts they don't like, then go blame the summer for it and start to shitpost because "who cares, it's summer anyway".

>>380017

Perhaps, but in this situation, he still has a lot more credibility than you.

>>380021
considering Moot average thread quality, no, really.

site offline. been a while

>You have been muted for 4 seconds, because your comment was not original.

Geez, I'm just trying to carry over an suggestion I made in a earlier thread

Is +4 randomly banning people as well? I posted a link that I figured was an okay site, and it banned me for an hour.

>>380043
A: looks like it and
B: try the thread below this one next time

Is 4chan slow as shit for other people today? I cna't see a single picture it takes several minutes for small ones.

4chanX forced me to switch over to greasemonkey and now every 4chan related addon has completely stopped working. hell possibly all of the other ones too but i haven't noticed any of them not working yet yet

...halp?

Haven't had Internet in a while, how was /mu/'s reaction to Kanye's new album Yeezus?

Please tell me it was as hilarious as a every other "big name" album drop, please.

>Man of Steel threads
>been a while since I've seen /co/ argue so hard about Supes

got a 1 day pseudo ban for "shitposting" because I said drawthreads are against /co/ rules. Which they are. Looks like a bad case of mods trying to keep the pace like he wants instead of like it's supposed to be. there's a reason we have like 3 draw boards now.

>post "I'm 12 and what is this?"
>3 months banned for being underage
I ain't even mad. That's hilarious.

>>380397
Summerfaggotry is real. for the mods at least.

>/pol/ since DOMA got struck down
Holy shit, you guys. This is just pure gold. Almost, key word almost, as good as election nights.

>>380570
Would love to check that out, but currently getting nothing but errors, despite the status page saying everything is fine.

>>379996
That's because people stop using it when the endless shit comes on. People come, people leave, traffic is largely unchanged.

It's like I'm really on paheal!

Aaaaand

>>380906
Ok I wanted to check because Status kept saying that everything was fine.

>>380907
status doesn't work for shit since the cloud is up, since the site will tell you the cloud works, it's just telling you it's offline.

You know a game has gotten popular when /v/ is shitting on it 24/7. I miss being able to have good Dark Souls threads.

So guys, if I wanted to get a Chanology warband together, where would I go? The Scilons are out in force in my hometown and I dearly want to organize a counter-attack.

>>380933
eh, Chanology warbands have been on the steady decline ever since it's become public knowledge that there were certain hackers backing the efforts and now those hackers are all in court for other things. I'd hit up Enturbulation.org and see what the deal is. There are full-time scilon protestors who operate outside of Chanology, they'll probably have a better idea of what to do.

>>380933
You're about 5 years too late for personal army, and chanology pretty much destroyed the *chans.

Just throw eggs at them.

do the /a/ mods have any rhyme or reasoning to randomly deleting complete on topic not shitty threads or is it just for laughs

>>381132
Define "on topic not shitty threads". Because as far as I know you, our opinions on that would differ quite a bit.

>>381133
Always with the attitude, eh anon? It's just threads about anime. On topic (ie talking about anime, to make that extra super duper clear for you), average amount of shitposting, no spamming or arguing, a reasonable level of discussion going then boom, delted. The same thread pops up twenty, thirty minutes later and it's fine. I'm not a frequent /a/ poster but I've seen it happen a few times now, it's mildly annoying.

>>381135
Well, I'm a frequent poster and I never see it happen unless a thread genuinely derails or isn't on-topic in the first place. So just going by personal experience my first thought is to question the person whose post quality I don't regard very highly in the first place. And I'm still not entirely ruling out personal blog posts or a lack of lurking first happening in those threads, to which you might be somewhat blind as they're more common and accepted on plus4 and /co/. The /a/ mod I know is one of the best mods around and if your threads were genuinely on-topic, I wouldn't go blaming him. It might just have been a janitor who doesn't frequent the board regularly and blindly deletes threads that get reported by butthurt anons who don't like the anime/mangu discussed.

The entirety of /a/ is devolving into some shitty fucking /a/ vs /v/ meta discussion because of Watamote right now, with trolls exploiting it to the fullest. Goddammit, this was not the right time to read up on Inari Konkon.

Today, I realised that I won't be finishing my Star Trek comic storytimes until at least some time next year.

Feels pretty damn ambivalent, man.

/pol/'s gone hog wild and is on all of the boards.

I really need to quit going there.

>>381502
Figured this would be happening.

I'm going to stay on a corner of 4chan that people don't go to. No, I'm not saying where.

>Get ban for a day from /v/
>For talking about vidya

Okay.

>>381570
>Get ban for a day from /v/
>For 'core v casual baiting'.
Fixed for likelihood.

Aftermath at /v/ is funny as fuck right now.

>>381570
What was the ban reason?

>You have been muted for 2 seconds, because your comment was too low in content

>>381607
Being Jumpman?

Seriously, what's with assholes trying to make "autistic" into an insult? It seems to be the go-to insult on 4chan.

Is it a reddit thing? Because it sounds a lot like a reddit thing.

>>381761
Goons, actually.

>>381502
Haven't been back to the motherchan in a while, but thanks for the head's up.

>>381514
The text boards?

>>381761
It's been around for a while. Before that, it was "assburgers" (aspergers). And remember, they've been appending -fag to everything and using *n----rs casually for ages now. So taking all that into consideration, I'm not sure why you're surprised when it comes to 4chan. "Autist" is just one of the current popular slurs. I'm not saying it isn't bad, but really. It's 4chan, what other explanation do you want?

I usually don't censor words, but I still refuse to type that one.

>>381810
naggers?

>>381813
Hey, that's a very racist term, young man! They prefer to be called Vocal and Persistent Productivity Encouragers. Show some respect!

I have to say, moot's new advertisement system is pretty effective.

Advertisers really know their target audience on 4chan.

Tumblr is apparently adopting a sitewide policy of hiding posts tagged "lesbian", "gay" and "bisexual" from its search engine, which is downright nefarious, but perhaps it will help shut up those 4channers who always whine about it.

>>381892
Wait what? I can't stand the tumblr SJ brigade either, but that's just... WHAT?!

>>381893
More actually to do with advertising on the site, apparently all the good shit is still poison to advertisers (like, why? Porn is the most ubiquitous thing on the net, at least in the "dark" regions). tbqh I never found the sj crowd to be any worse or better than the 4chan crowd, they just have a different flag to advertise their lack of lives.

>>381893
Yahoo! owns tumblr now, and will likely be clamping down on a lot of stuff over the next year. This is only the start.

I didn't know Yahoo was still a thing.

>>381892
That's fucking bullshit.

>>381895
Another nail in the coffin for Yahoo, then. I'm already thinking of shutting down most of my e-mail accounts after their latest "upgrade" fiasco.

>>381895
Maybe they'll ust shut it down like they did with Geocities.

...You know, I never really got that.

http://staff.tumblr.com/post/55906556378/all-weve-heard-from-a-bunch-of-you-who-are

So Tumblr knows people got pissed and they're trying to assuage fears in order to prevent a mass exodus of users.

>4chan complaint thread
>we're talking about tumblr

what

That tumblr thing wouldn't be a problem if modern internet wasn't just a small set of unavoidalble sites overshadowing 99% of the rest of its content. I mean, It's sad that the world would literally collapse if google went to disapear. that wasn't supposed to happen with internet very concept. But centralisation of power + user conditioning made it more or less a glorified interactive TV channel.

>>381948
>It's sad that the world would literally collapse if google went to disapear
Speaking of which. I've wanted to switch for a while now. How's DuckDuckGo?

>>381953

Once you get the settings just the way you want, it's a fairly good search engine.

So a Korra thread just ruined a persons life over a shitty cam leak of the first episode.

So /co/ has that going for them now.

>>381972
For all I see people just dig into his personal record, which, while of bad taste, didn't change much of his current life.

>>381972
Weren't there some implications he might be a pedophile from his criminal record?

>>381972

What happened? First Scooby, now this. 4chan is on a (shit) roll.

/co/ is currentlly a waifu board where half of the threads are about posting your waifu and trying to "win" that imaginary "flavour of the month" title.
I issed the days I could discuss a show and not discuss the porn of the show

>>382006
When were those days? Surely not in the last 5-6 years.

>>382004
All of this for a shitty cam rip of the Korra season 2 premiere.

I really need to go somewhere else.

>>382019

4chan needs more mods and janitors. I know, stating the obvious.

>>382010
I miss the pre catalogue era that actually let threads die. There's nothing to get from an undying threadq that already have more than 200 posts and keep coming back because "bump for my waifu". 4chan used to be a fast paced image board. Now it's just a slow anonymous blog.

>>382086
I wish we didn't have 500 post count threads. Even 300 was too much. Catalogs are needed to curb that mentality that nothing beyond the front page exists.

posting is down. Frustrating as fuck

>>382019
>>381972
So /co/'s at it again. This time harassing a person who was decent enough to post rips of Gravity Falls a day early.

We're basically animals now.

>>382250
Just remember to always be a nice poster. Never follow the shitposters' example; never jump on the hate bandwagon.

>>382250
I thought those threads were largely a circlejerk of pedophiles anyway? That's what it looks from a quick glance.

>>382268
They are which makes their claim of "punishing criminals" even worse. Fuck, complaining about leacks when you get every episode on streams or 4chans anyway is really fucking pathetic. But GFG is lost cause. It only stays because mods never read generals.

I wish posting a banned website twice didn't get me 1 day banned. Serves me right for not noticing the warnings.
I'm suppose to be working on a Homebrew with /tg/ today.

I know it's mostly bored white boys massively overreacting to other people slightly overreacting, but sometimes there's the odd post that seems downright sinister. Like there's some far-right movements that discovered 4chan as a platform to strongly influence those bored white boys and slowly ween them into more radical doctrines.

>>382447
I miss the time 4chan would use nigger and jews irnoically, and not to win an actual internet fight.
Especially in boards like /co/ or /ck/ or anything that isn't /b/, /v/ and /pol/

Have you guys seen this current debacle?
The users are revolting hard against the mods and they even got a disgruntled ex-Janitor to help out with info.

>>382449

The used to be tongue-in-cheek jokes. Not mature, mind you, but you didn't have anyone trying to dump a bunch of wrong and uncited images to prove something.

>>382451

Still waiting on someone there to provide actual proof.

>>382463
It's all over Sportschan

>>382471

Does sportschan have stuff that's not easily replicated? Because I can go shop up some fake evidence right now.

>>382472
Fine, disbelieve. Jesus christ it's like you've got an agenda or something.

>>382473

>Showing some skepticism is the same as having an agenda

>>382477
Well have a look for yourself. He seems entirely legitimate.
http://boards.sportschan.org/sp/res/40418.html
and no one on /q/ has done anything but delete threads and images. They were handing out 30 days autos for uploading any of the pics or links he's posted last night. I even got 14 days just for posting this:

>>382478

Well that's the thing. I don't want "seems legitimate", I want "is legitimate"

>>382481
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe... whatever you want to believe.

>>382490

I don't "believe" anything. I'm asking for appropriate evidence to support claims other people made.

>>382491
There is an ineluctable quantity of faith to these accusations which you either possess or deny.

>>382451
>The users are revolting hard against the mods

o noes they will occupie 4chan now!
Seriously, do people actually believe they can do anything? 4chan is still a private place, not the middle fo the street.

>>382510

Think logically about this. They can shitpost until it becomes even more unbearable.

And don't anyone think about greentexting my post. It can always get worse. Actually, maybe if it gets shitposted enough, we'll get some "nazi" moderation. Hmm.

>>382525
It turns out most of the mods are from reddit and thus not qualified to be Nazis under the Nuremberg Race Laws.

>>382525
even more unbearable by your standard, maybe. But I have enough ears of 4chan, especially pre-captcha 4chan to know this place is impossible to drown in shitposting. Even at the worst time of Kimmo's spambots people were still coming and able to have discussions if they wanted it.
Of course the userbase was slightly different than today. Less blogs and "muh feels" faggotry back in the days.

Why there is so much anime on /co/ nowadays?

Somebody been making a lot of furry threads on /co/ today. What are they trying to achieve?

>>382596
Climax?

>>382597
11/10

Seriously!? Fucking seriously! I just got banned on all boards for posting this (pic related).

Granted it's only a few days but what the fuck. The opening line "Fuck your fancy CNC's" is obviously tongue in cheek. I wasn't actually "trolling" or "flaming" people who use those machines, I just thought it was an amusingly snarky way to open up a "metal work done by hand tools" type thread in /diy/. Just figured that people who like to "Do it Yourself" would have had slightly thicker skin than say, wet rice paper. Guess I was wrong.

Okay, now I am convinced: /co/ needs better mods/janitors/whatever they want to call themselves. Good threads keep getting deleted left and right.

>>382660
we don't need 5 fucking AT thread talkback after each episode.
we don't need "look at this youtube comment it makes me mad let's be mad together
we don't need OMG dobson blocked my DA 2 years ago let's have a daily dose were we hate him together and sometime wish he was dead
we don't need waifushit. fuck raven thread, fuck furry threads. fuck PG threads.
we also don't need 3 fucking threads about OCs and /pco/ and "specific general about that OC"

/co/ is the fucking city dump of the site now, everybody makes threads about whatever they want even when we already have specific board for it (fuck you cosplay and drawfagottry in particular)

>>382672
>we don't need 5 fucking AT thread talkback after each episode.
Threads talking about a new cartoon episode in a cartoon board? Unless you mean at the same time, but these just happen I suppose.

>we don't need waifushit. fuck raven thread, fuck furry threads. fuck PG threads.
Threads about comics/cartoon characters...

>we also don't need 3 fucking threads about OCs
Board mascots or something? Because threads like this can end in comics being made.

>hating on drawfagottry in general

>>382673

That happens with every popular show.

If anything, posters like you need to be banned. Permanently.

Anyone know what's up?

>>382925
Sometimes captcha is not loading for me either. It is directly related to google.com, and from what I understand, the site gets hacked into every now and them. Google provides the captcha service.

All you can do is want.

>>382909
>half the material

You are also one of those people who think anthropomorphic = furry? Any of the -day threads are for wank material purposes. But hey, you are hardly interested in anything that doesn't feature anthropomorphic characters to obsess over, right? That's why you hardly show up in anything that doesn't feature them.

>Somebody should call the retard store; they're running out of you.

I did, but they said they have enough of you for now.

Typical of you, instead of coming up with something on your own, you need to copy others. You still think that image macros of outdated memes are the pinnacle of comedy. .

Don't even bother with that chipmunk fucker of Mr Twister. He's a hardcore furry in fulll fursecution mode, he will never admit being wrong even in the middle of a porn image dump.

Moot is drunk again. Goddamn

Aww man. I actually wanted to discuss anime and manga.

>>383025
It's not like regular /a/ is really better for that matter.

I find it odd that Moot was the one who posted this.

>>383044
I know it also depends somewhat on your time zone, but I found /a/ to be a pretty good board unless you want to discuss Big 3 or the fad of the season (SnK for example).

What's with /v/ and Kojima saying he isn't gay? The /v/'s been exploding about this shit and really why does it matter?

>>383114
It doesn't. But, we need something to bitch about. The man responsible for snake's glorious stealth-suited ass claiming he isn't gay will suffice.

Top lel.

Here's the thread I made that got me banned.

https://archive.foolz.us/v/thread/205779669/#205779669

>Gumball thread deleted

But why? Might have been the original OP who saw no reason for it after the episode.

Why do Win-O-Threads attract so much shitposting? It's probably the 2nd biggest shitpost focus after Homestuck General, at least on Wednesdays.

>>383377
Shitposters just want good threads deleted. And mods are too lazy to ban individuals or delete individual posts.

To put it blunt, mods are letting the terrorists win.

>>383377
co mods are biased and if you arent in a thread hey like like Korra or AT you are disposable

I like anime though.

>>383408
Not as much as you like to keep whining, though. Now, I get that that's the point of this thread and all. But if you're that deeply offended by anime with girls in them, why even bother visiting /a/? There's already /cm/ and /y/ to fit your needs. Oh, and tumblr, obviously. Just stick to those.

>>383411
Be mad somewhere else, this is the bitch about 4chan thread and your butthurt is not up for consideration.
Why go to /a/? Like I said, I like anime.
So here I go, instead of saging or shitposting in threads I don't care for, I hide them, like everyone like you says one should.
What does it get me? Continued evidence that /a/ fucking sucks and all it's 'good' for is waifu spam and pathetic wannabeotakus to argue, agree, and jerk off.

Though, in its defense, there's a One Piece thread about the concept of Smiles and a Junji Ito thread no collapsed on the second page. At least it's something not based around feelings for cartoon preteens, even if it is shonen and 2spooky.

>>383413
You expect /a/ to be something that it never was and never will be. Just cut your losses and find another community, that's more to your tastes. That's all I'm suggesting. And I'm obviously not the one with the hurt feelings here, as evident by your little emotional outburst there.

>>383414

>type some text
>this is an emotional outburst

Uh, okay. And to stop you from making a dumb comment, no I am not him.

>>383414
Yeah, my little emotional outburst, oh how I'm demeaned by your belittling adjective. And even if it were, no one with sense will feel bad when called out on a perceived emotion on the internet.

Anyways, I came to whine about 4chan and did, waifu apologist aside. I'll be back next year to do so again, since it apparently will never be anything I like. Which is anime that can stand on the legs of creativity and quality without the crutch of waifu tucked under a shoulder.

So /co/ is pop culture now? Because i´m tired of the anime, /tv/ and video games stuff.

>>383446
/co/ is waifufags, softcore fetishes and bitching about tumblr.

>>383447
If the board is not good enough for you, you can always leave.

Just saying.

>>383629
What did you expect from /co/? People don't even post in threads they like anymore, they just sit in threads they hate and try to get a rise out of people and then blame the threads they just got through trolling as the reason why /co/ sucks.

>>383631
That makes more sense than anything I read in a few days.

>>383629
Having an idiot comes to tell people to stop discussing it because it's not happening in his thread killed the thread on birth.
It's a prime example of why general threads are bad. It make people believe they are actually in charge of the content and they indulge them to boss people around like they own the place.

>>383644
>who is DJ Orwell and why should he be banned so hard

I don't like bitching tripfags, especially not the ones who who really seem like they need to get out more, but goddamn

holy shit 4chan is incredibly shit these days. Even usually calm boards or calm thread subjects are shock full of both people being extremely aggressive and dropping "niger" or death wish at the shittiest reason, and people with no skin at all ordering anybody not clapping at their thread to leave "or else".
Is it the last days of summer and the stress of the new school year that makes people retarded or what?

>Kate Beaton thread
>It only takes two and a half hours for people to start "discussing" how she dared to complain about sexist douchebags that one time

>>383755
She did receive some sexist comments, but the example she used was not sexist. Kate came out on twitter and basically said her example may not have described the comments she actually gets.

Hence the whole brouhaha.

Although i love how people on /co/ took it and ran with it so far, thought the topic would be exhausted by now.

>>383775
The topic is exhausted. The hating autist, however, aren't. See also : Preston thread, or how a DA nobody can become an annoying hourly dosed hate meme because someone was originally raging that he cblocked his DA comments something like 3 years ago now.
Mods let those threads live so people think it's part of the board culture and just keep it alive forever.

So I posted a thread that was similar to a thread that had been deleted, and now apparently I'm perma-banned for "ban evasion".

What the fuck?

I haven't been able to access 4chan in hours, all my tabs keep timing out. But the site isn't down, though.

Does anyone else have the same problem, what's going on?

For all the reasons to rightfully bitch about 4chan, y'know what I fucking love about the site?

The fucking banners. Seriously, they're the best part of 4chan.

>>384486
I'm not digging too many of the new ones, but there are a few gems here and there.

/pol/ is permeating more and more into the other boards.

So you can no longer post any kind of URL without getting flagged for spam? That's fucking retarded.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

>>384712
>>384666
I don't get it. Is moot actually trying to transform 4chan into a blog or a forum? 4chan only appeal always was the fast posting rate and short lived content.

Is it me or has /co/ become more furry?

>>384721
see
>>382596
>>382597

>>384721
it's been like that since some furry artist "won" the "flavour of the month" contest with that fucking dumb lamb. They came for it, and stayed, and now every month they spam furries to "win" again.

>>384741

contest...?

this lamb thing was over months ago, it was JUST a case of people hopping in for the novelty of it(great old cartoon, nostalgia, first whyboners, drawfags taking the chance to get attention, bored otherwise useless people coming up with OCs and EU and working out stories, usual /co/ fare) but after the second month everyone understood that there was nowhere else to go, everyone who was doing something about it moved on.

however some shithead keeps spamming her pics in every thread that shows up with an animal theme(suggestive or otherwise), inflating them with replies and attempts at counter-spam and giving the illusion that they would otherwise flourish, making these posters make them more often out of spite. because /co/ just can't ever stop taking b8.

if these muttday/bunday/herpetuesday threads just died off naturally from being what caturdays were in their worst moment(they're not much better right now either, which is simply not being from complete drought of new content), that is, endless reposts and a waste of server space, they'd realize they're not working out, whether they are in the happy ____ day or not.

it's like they're trying to simultaneously get the spontaneity of the old occasional thread and the scheduled constant stream of content and conversation, not understanding that they are in direct conflict.

>>384712
Fuck's sake, moot, seriously?

I'm not sure I like where neo4chan is going.

>>384742
>but after the second month everyone understood that there was nowhere else to go
Leggy threads were deleted even faster than caturday threads were at the time after about two or three days of her existence. If anything, people got tried of her threads being deleted and moved on. Leggy was only spammed only in Nessie threads and the reptile threads.

>if these muttday/bunday/herpetuesday threads just died off naturally from being what caturdays were in their worst moment, that is, endless reposts and a waste of server space, they'd realize they're not working out, whether they are in the happy ____ day or not.
They fail because unlike Caturday, they don't have multple fanbases making art during the week to repost in the threads when Saturday rolls around along with the artists that made Caturday possible in the first place.

>>384754
>4chan now a wall of shame showing bans
>I'm okay with this one.
Same here. This should have been done ages ago.

>>384755
it serves no real purpose since the visible bans are cherry picked. It also kind of prove the point that some board are simply not moderated, like /co/ while others gets super zealous moderation despite being slow as fuck.

>>384742
Contest, yeah. more or less.

/q/ needs to come back. I don't care how shit it got, it was a place to dump all the meta-discussion that plagues so many boards on 4chan. I might have to e-mail him about that one, because now retards have more of an excuse to post meta threads on their respective boards.

I like the ban wall. I've actually made it a habit of leaving the window open and coming back every now and then to hit F5. It's funny to see these bans sometimes, and it's also good for people who don't believe 4chan gets any moderation. It was probably done to shut us (I've lightened up on my "mods don't do any work" stance in the last couple of months due to a better understanding of the system) up about it.

On the other hand, I dislike a ban wall because a few times I've scrolled through and saw people posting shit just to get banned. I saw a guy on /sp/ saying, "there's no /sp/ on the ban page. let's fix that" or something to that extent. It could lead to some shitposting, but we'll have to wait to see how much.

>>384762
> It could lead to some shitposting, but we'll have to wait to see how much.
Any and everything on 4chan leads to shitposting. Put in a report ability? Shit posting and spam the report queue. New type of sage? Shitposting.

It doesn't matter how good or bad a change is, people will go apeshit on the boards when it first occurs. Hell, even when it doesn't, like that rumor long ago of 4chan requiring passes to view images, people will shitpost.

the ban page seems couter productive. People are already getting banned on purpose so they can evade and post their "trophy" screenshot about it, and overall it shows everybody what board is monitored at the moment so they can shitpost everywhere else.
Some bans are actually pretty fucking retarded too, so it will bite the mods in the ass soon at this rate.

>Bans for advertising don't actually show the ban

Makes sense, because otherwise you'd do that job for them. Still feels odd when every other banned post is displayed.

Users that it make it obvious they are trying to get on the public ban list should be banned without the ban appearing there.

What if one day moot decides to turn 4chan into a place like the Something Awful forums? Would you give moot your money so you can stay on 4chan?

>>384851

He would never do that. But as far as your hypothetical? FUCK YEAH I WOULD.

I don't see most ban evading shitposters throwing out more and more money just to continue to shit up 4chan, so I'd be fine with a monetary paywall.

>>384851

If I had ten bux, sure. A paywall would probably be the best thing to happen to 4chan in ages.

>>384851
I never liked that "business model"... one of the main reasons why I stayed away from SA. You pay up and you could be banned for the slightest things or at the random whims of a mod. Heck, IIRC someone can pay another 10 bux to get you banned without reason. And the only way to get back in? Another 10 bux.

>>384851
No, it was a paywall that caused SA to stagnate, the same would happen to 4chan. Not to mention it'd go directly against the 4chan ethos.

>>384851
No.

>>384762
Having watched the /x/ of old burn away under a tide of relentless /b/tard bullshit, with no meaningful mod intervention until long after the ashes were cold, I have no faith in 4chan's moderation, and never will. They let an entire board once full of decent content be utterly destroyed, and it's never recovered. Maybe the accusation that the 4chan mods don't do anything is an unfair statement now, but the reputation is certainly well-earned.

Even when they are being active, their aim is often shit, and it feels like the harder they try, the worse it gets.

>>384851
Ahahahaha, fuck no.

>>384863
The 4chan "ethos" seems like it's been gradually morphing anyway, and I can't say I like wherever it's headed.

>>384863
stagnate? SA is dead and burried under their ego forever. When was the last time you heard of a meme or a community event from them?
4chan is heading there anyway. People prefer to reblog instead of creating content. And the very concept of "board culture" is just an excuse to block changes so people don't have to update their meymeys folder anymore.

I'm really missing sage

>>384891
Sage still works, it's just invisible now. It doesn't show up in the email field after you've made the post. They did that to stop people from using sage to go "GRR, I DISAPPROVE".

I don't know what exactly that's supposed to change, considering saging typically goes hand-in-hand with some vitriolic comment in the post.

>>384892
sage is still useful on the imagedump boards where people may want to post in a thread that has already reached its image limit without bumping it back to the front page. Then there's the percentage of /jp/ who have adopted 2ch's protocol for using sage. So the people who do use it for the reason it was created can still do so, and the people who use it as justification for shitposting may or may not be more discouraged now.

And speaking of /jp/, thanks for telling everyone to raid it moot

That's pretty sad.

>>385423

Is 4chan down for anyone else?

>never advertised his site so he doesn't care

But most of the ad banners, at least the ones I've seen, have been for 4chan itself (rules, faq, etc.). And this is using Chrome where I don't have adblock installed. It's hard for moot to sell advertising because no one wants to associate their products with much of 4chan, and the really big ad companies like Google AdWords ban sites with porn. (A short discussion I had over e-mail with moot in 2007 shows they were suspended for "click fraud" as well.)

While I can't find the source, I recall that porn companies were interested in interstitials (full-page ads that cover up the content until you click close or a timer hits 0; see the likes of Forbes or Fakku for examples), but moot is dead-set against those because they're so fucking annoying.

I wonder how he's making out on the 4chan Pass thing.

Today /co/ is better than it was 2 days ago. Even last night it was pretty good. That makes me happy.

>>385523
Don't worry. This soon shall pass.

>>385523
It must really be shit if it catters to you amongst any other namefag.

>>385547
Looks like someone got off the edgy side of the bed today.

I've been naughty

>>385700
You get what you deserve.

If most schools give out graduation year shirts with your last name and graduation year, this means a few million Asians have '04 Chan T-shirts.

Oh, I do love it when /v/ enters its "game too hard for gaming journalists" state of denial. It happened with The Wonderful 101 (even though its average score was favorable) and now it's happening again for Sonic Lost World.

The amount of shitposts on /co/ has risen by 20%.

the guy who posted shredded moose webcomics on /co/ under spoiler got banned 3 days
meanwhile all the "hey guys let's sexualize little girls and post pics of them half naked" are rampant

I can't help but think mods aren't even trying to hide the only rules there is playing favourite with what make them hard and what doesn't.

>>385798
On 4chan, spoilered NSFW stuff will still get you banned. Also it's probably less that the mods are playing favorites and more like more people are reporting you than they are the other stuff.

Didn't realize I got impersonated after asking why a non-/co/ thread was on /co/. Eh, could have been worse.

/co/ is getting progressively more awesome. Not necessarily "better"; just awesome.

>>385814
How so?

>>385826
It's getting out of control. Content gets posted (without deletion or bannings) that probably wouldn't fly before. That may not be a good thing, but whatever comes out of it, we are in for quite a ride in the upcoming year.

>>385829
I've been seeing threads get deleted.

Jesus Christ, madoka movie spoilers are everywhere, saw one on fucking /ck/ earlier

>view ban page out of bordem
>/t/ 1 - US Licensed Content

>mfw
And yet they have win-o threads at /co/, a board dedicated to DDLs, AND torrents. When did they start caring about anything illegal other than shit like CP & dox?

>>385841
When they started receiving serious DMCA notices.

Just got banned for 3 days for posting horrible stuff. It's so exciting!

>>385844
What was so horrible?

>>385845
A horrible image. Nice to see mods do their work sometimes.

Could've posted in the screencap thread, but it just belongs here more.

>>385862
Next time do it with a mod approved show like the kids for Korra. Mods play favourite and you can say all the pedophilia propaganda you want in those threads. GFG is also toxic enough so mods don't even read it those days. You can go fairly wild in the details there as long as your rape victims are twins.

>>385866
Not sure where you are going for there, but I just posted a silly image.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank to mod that banned me for one day because of that one James Joyce scat letter. I knew it was probably against the rules but I did it anyways. It would have been nice if you deleted all the femnazi/MRA bullshit and banned those guys as well.

>>385917
Mods are in full "this is my boar post things I like" mode these days. got banned for ironic shitposting, while several pedo threads were flourishing on /co/. It all revolves around their tastes, the rules don't exists.

>>385936
> It all revolves around their tastes

Bzzzt.

It's impossible for mods to delete everything, not to mention people report what bothers them the most. Stop shitposting. If there's a thread where people are having a nice conversation and you decide to come in shitposting, don't be surprised if you get mass reported by the people in the thread that aren't being raging jackasses.

>>385944
you use shitposting exactly like nobody should, aka just defining what yu don't like. Really sad.

>>385950
>you use shitposting exactly like nobody should, aka just defining what yu don't like.

Actually I'm using it to define what you were doing in that thread: shitposting. And for the record, no I don't like shitposting. But that's because it's shitposting.

So why don't you tell us what you were so unfairly banned over? I suspect you're going to attempt to make it seem like you were banned for difference of opinion when in reality you were being shitty about sharing your opinion.

>>385958
> I'm using it to define what you were doing in that thread: shitposting.
are you for real?
At least my point stands more than ever now. You are just using it as a "I win" buzzword with no real definition except you don't like it.

>>385963

I like how you didn't answer my question.

>>385968
Why do you even believe I was banned? You are so confident in your stupidity it hurts.

>>385973

I asked you a question first, bruh.

So this happened.

>>385973
Wait I'm confused here, aren't you the one who said to be banned for "ironic" shitposting?

>>385982
no. why would you even believe that?

ironically enogh, I just got banned for shitposting because I dared to tell bee and pussycat was a shitty show and mods just can't accept it cause Pen ward and its crew is literally God in their eyes.

>>385993
See the pic?
Thats you, thats how dumb you sound!

>>385993

Well thank you for confirming that you're a shitposter.

>Currently 0 unique user posts.

Pretty much all popular 4chan boards except /r9k/, and they're not far off.

>>385994
a discussion board isn't supposed to be a hivemind. You are the one getting all mad to the point of shitposting stupid macros and youtube links. And sucking mods cocks there will give you no karma you know.

Man 4chan keeps getting shittier by the minute. I'd probably be gone completely had it'd not been for /vr/, /m/, and the daily japanese threads at /a/. Sometimes I wonder about creating a chan site with features similar to plugins like ExSauce, & 4chanX but native to the site.

You can't even post creepy phone numbers in /x/ anymore without mods thinking you're trying to start a raid or something. Also, it's been over a day and my plea hasn't been reviewed yet.

>>386026
I think mosd are right to ban you there. It's like saying "I'm 123. You will get banned cause it's not mod's work to verify what you post. This is an anonymous board, what you post is taken at face value.

>>385993
Because your conversation seems to have started more or less with
>>385936

Actually having a level-headed discussion about rape as a storytelling device with people using properly thought-out arguments. On /a/. Huh.

>>386112
I give about 17 minutes more tops.

I don't know how I got this reputation, but it amuses me so.

>>386031
hmm. I may have lsot myself in that thread. I was indeed banned that day, but somehow forgot since it was a 3 day ban on a computer I don't use all the time. also not sure why the fact I got banned ened up as an argument about how terribly moderated is /co/ at the moment. You won't be able to post any of the waifushit and general circlejerks anywhere else on 4chan without a quick deletion and a ban if you try it again. It's like, nobody really know what this board is about. nowaday if you can link something to the third degree to a comic character you are good game for a thread, even if the core is about actors, music, cooking, animals, toys or anime who all have specific boards.

>>386113
No, it kept being a very pleasant thread. The rape stuff wasn't really the main topic. It just kinda came up, because Wolf Guy was mentioned. In the end we just kinda agreed that rape can very well be handled right (American History X, Berserk), but that some people just don't like those type of stories, because they don't like characters feeling weak and completely helpless, since they're looking to manga for escapism. And that most of the time rape ends up being trivialized and pornographic because of poor writing.

>>386124
>Berserk
I heard the main character just keeps getting raped, wtf

>>386124
>berserk
>well handed rape

... ok, this is not the thread for it but wtf.

>>386130
>>386132
The main character, Guts, gets raped once as a kid, which makes him weary of human contact and behave like a wild animal, murdering without remorse until he meets Griffith and his Band of Hawks to whom he ever so slowly warms up to, until he finally makes friends and even falls in love for the first time with the female soldier Casca. However, Griffith who helped him on his way back to recovery betrays the Band of Hawks and sacrifices them to demons and rapes Casca in front of Guts as a gruesome show of power. Guts and Casca survive, but Casca was so traumatized that she's lost all her memories and reverted to a child-like state. Now Guts is on a quest to kill Griffith and get Casca's memory back. But the manga brings up multiple times that getting Casca's memory back, might not be what she wants and that Guts's quest might ultimately be entirely selfish and bring more suffering to everyone.

>>386132

Berserk handles rape really well in places - most notably Guts' childhood rape and the effects thereof.

It also uses it rather tastelessly and casually for shock device in other places. Pretty mixed bag.

>>386143
That's about as good a thing you can say for it as a narrative device. Things is, it's almost never a good narrative device, especially since there is a distinct portion of people (not just for this topic but in general) who dislike anything that makes them feel remotely negative. In some stories it works but they aren't ever happy stories.

Idle thought, feel free to disregard.

4chan's /m/ has been divided for a long time now between "real" mecha and "toku" which is the word used for stuff like Sentai, Kamen Rider and Ultraman. The non-toku people would rather the toku people not be there but all complaining about the matter gets deleted. The toku people aren't particularly crazy about the arrangement either. The issue was around when Moot did his great rearranging, fracturing /v/ with his mighty hammer to make the godawful /vr/ and so forth, and he chose not to address it, meaning he most likely never will.

Maybe a toku board here would take some of the pressure off? The community has enough oomph for two ongoing generals plus scatterings of sub release threads, etc, in an otherwise slow, anime-centric board. The numbers would probably be about right for a plus4 board.

I wouldn't say it's needed; we've worked out an uneasy status quo. But I'm willing to bet it would be very much appreciated.

>>386177
You could just link them to /jam/. I'd think any fresh blood is appreciated at this point. Or we could really let this board die. Just hope they won't be off-put by the tripfag hugbox that is /baw/.

>>386177
wut

Besides tokusatsu, where do they get their mecha from? Just anime or anything else?

>>386195

In theory anything, but in practice all they talk about is gundam, neon jello evangelist, that one with the drillls and... whatever that one show is that has a guy named Lelouche.

>refresh the ban page, because going there every few hours and looking at the bans is a "hobby" of mine
>See off topic posts, gets, and other general shitposting getting a one day ban

C'mon mods, step that shit up. I know some of these shitposters don't know how to ban evade, so make that punishment stick. Send someone away for a week or two the next time he posts a "tfw no gf" thread. The ones who don't know how to ban evade are going to think twice before they decide to shit up the board.

Not to mention 1 day bans get reset pretty fast. If you get banned for a day right before midnight, you can resume posting in a few hours.

I will never understand how people are so hell-bent on earning hipster cred on an anonymous message board.

>>386218
Delusion.

Seriously though has 4chan's /pol/ so contrarian to the core that they think being christian is edgy?

>>386253
Nobody on the internet knows what being a Christian even means. All that "religion vs. atheism" bullshit is just a bunch of kids posting stuff they read about in Wikipedia 5 minutes ago.

>>386256
>implying half the Christians today know what being Christian is
'Thou shalt not steal' my ass

That reminds me: what is with avid Christians who honestly hates Jews? It makes no sense.

>>386258
I don't think that is a problem. Fuel shortage is a problem. Nuclear bombs are a problem. Deforestation is a problem. Parents not having time for the children is a problem.

A couple 'christians' hating a couple 'jews' is not a problem. When you get a bloody war, with people dying, then will that be a problem.

>>386263
I never said it was a problem; I just don't understand it. Also, the Holocaust.

But you are right, all the basement crusaders and armchair atheists are douchebags anyway. Debating about religions, while if done properly (cough) can be entertaining to both parties, it is most often useless, stupid and mean.

>>386264
>useless, stupid and mean

99% of 4chan right there

Haven't been on /co/ for quite a while. Jesus, people aren't kidding when they say that place is overrun by tumblr.

Is there any particular reason you need to enter a captcha to see your ban status now? I know for posting it's supposed to cut down on spam, but I don't see the point for doing it for seeing bans.

>>386258
>'Thou shalt not steal' my ass

>>386177
>The non-toku people would rather the toku people not be there but all complaining about the matter gets deleted. The toku people aren't particularly crazy about the arrangement either.
People STILL bitch about toku in /m/?

>/vr/

Seriously? /vr/ was the best thing to happen to 4chan in a long time! what's so bad about it? other than not being able to discuss 6th gen consoles.

>Maybe a toku board here would take some of the pressure off? The community has enough oomph for two ongoing generals plus scatterings of sub release threads, etc, in an otherwise slow, anime-centric board. The numbers would probably be about right for a plus4 board.
Honestly, I'd think it'd be best to get more people who are fed up with the current state of 4chan to come over here. We'd have more traffic but not to the insane level of 4chan where shitposting outweighs actual discussion. I'd be nice to implement 4chanX like features to make the place better to post and discuss as well.

>>386274
I hear this a lot. Elaborate.

>>386301
Just go read some threads and compare the global attitude of posters with the rest of 4chan. The complete obcession with having general threads for everything whould be a big hint to begin with.

>>386305
>Just go read some threads and compare the global attitude of posters with the rest of 4chan.

That doesn't answer his question, and it's honestly a bit of a cop-out answer.

I think moot must be reading cookies for bans now because I recycled to a new IP and tried to post and caught a concurrent sentence for ban evasion. Very sophisticated and I'd bet the captchas have something to do with it.

>>386305
Have you ever considered the fact that janitors and mods false flag as real people with their demands for generals because it makes their job easier? They did it on /q/ all the time when it was open. Spooky showed us.

>>386253
I don't know what "edgy" means to people but as a /pol/ regular I can tell you there's nothing positive about the Abrahamic faiths in their eyes; nor should there be.

>>386321
>They did it on /q/ all the time when it was open.

No they didn't. There were a few members of the moderation staff that posted on /q/ under anon, but that's hardly a sizable number of the moderation staff. Not to mention your post doesn't make sense because if they were part of the moderation staff, there's no reason to "false flag" anything.

>>386326
To get the plebeians to go along with it by masquerading as one of them. There's a big difference between the reception an authority figure trying to instill change gets and the one for someone masquerading as a commoner proposing a destructive idea innocuously via peer pressure.

>>386328
1. That's not going to work on 4chan, where everyone wants to shit on everyone else and their ideas.
2. 4chan moderation staff doesn't have to (and frequently will not) bend to the will of the users.

That's not to say that some things can't change, but there are some issues that moot has put his foot down on, despite the fact that people complain anyway.

>>386329
Nevertheless the push to generals was documented as being caused by the mods; not real people.

It's not even worth my time. The point is that the "tumblr influence" on /co/ is vastly overstated. The only thing they're guilty of is pushing Marxist multiculturalism into every discussion; especially in Frozen threads where it's really disgusting.

The reason I said is because I got shitposted to death for using the word "rape" jokingly in a thread.
