/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>21296570
Because from 2008 to 2010, even 2011 if you want to stretch things, /jp/ developed a culture so particular that basically you couldn't understand almost anything that was going on. It was basically like futaba or early 4chan. Only after lurking for a while you would start to develop a sense of the subculture and the inside jokes. It also helped that (almost) no one took themselves really seriously and the board's motto was "take it easy".
No matter how many times people post "japanese bird cooking spaghetti" or corndog tenshi, the atmosphere that /jp/had back then can't be replicated unless there's a massive shift in internet culture.
With the massive "generalization" of /jp/, a lot of dumbasses from other boards like /vg/ and /a/ migrated here, and without all the elitism and the "culture flow" that kept people away, newfags don't even need to worry about adapting anymore and then the board just grows in population just like any other. No one takes it easy anymore because almost the entire internet (that doesn't involve overly technical or obscure hobbies) is dominated by politics. Granted, this shit has been seeping into /jp/ since 2011 with all that "jewnes" and nazi copypasta, but now even in regular threads you see idpol discussion popping out of nowhere. And worst of all even in japanese twitter it's becoming harder to avoid this shit.
Otaku culture is all about escapism and imersion. We used to be brought together because we hate reality and we love lolis. Now everyone in the community is looking for an opportunity to looking down on each other because of normalfag political beliefs. The culture that /jp/ used to have just died a little bit too early, because with the way things went the past few years it was just bound to happen.

And honestly you know this board has hit rock bottom since there's not even a fucking OC thread up. We became the general otaku media cumdumpster of 4chan.

Here's a challenge: Draw /jp/'s OC-tan! She was created many years ago on this board and no one draws her anymore. Let's revive her!

OC-tan, Cornelia, Meido/NSJ/Janny...

How will you be celebrating the 100th thread?

I am going to do something related to OC-tan either a short comic (10-30 pages) or a PDF light novel.

Pic related the original loli OC-tan.

Green OC-tan is the only one I need.
