/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>37384278
/qa/ refugee here who comes to /jp/ for the 2hu gameplay thread. There is a lot of people i see sitewide deriding the former board without understanding what made it happen or what the appeal was. Modern /qa/ happned and was unusable for its original purpose of meta threads because this site lacks a low moderation random topic blue board where people can funpost without half the catalogue being porn in addition to the admins not reading those in the first place. The melting pot of posters that'd gather as threads got moved in with a high user turnover in addition to very little getting deleted created this bizzare silly serious atmosphere, mutating board culture and vocabulary which cannot be described unless you were there for some time yourself lurking. The quality varied wildly but got very bad in the last few months due to increasingly unnatural focused spam topped off by some Higurashi poster accidentaly (?) triggering a god damn race war which sent the entire place into a state of chaos so harsh that it become unsalvagable.
/bant/ is similarly dysfunctional considering its supposed to be /pol/ and /int/s trash playground. The "siege" showed me there's a lot of crossposters but i still dont wanna be there because the neutered qa with a touhou flair doesnt make up for the fact that its not a blue board. Though visible flags leading to leebaiter extermination is funny since they were consistently the least interesting group there.
As for the altchan, its an inorganic circlejerk where the owner datamines you. Qa was often called the soijak board but the strange, strange mutations that that meme underwent cannot work if its not counterculture to some extent. Janny and jp natives this is not supposed to be a soijak its just a skeleton.

>but now we have a gorillion /v/ centric boards
Well vst is probably the best one on the whole site so im fine with that, go look at the catalogue there and ask yourself if it would be possible to have any of those threads where people try to go into detail and where obscure things can be discussed last for more than 20 minutes on v when some spammer makes the 5th hourly smash porn dump politics topic.
>Maybe the pony global rule should be forgotten as well.
It has gotten more lax since their board has a banner now unless im severely retarded and never noticed it before. Though that's not something that should be joked about since the hardened /mlp/ posters who still remain often have this weirdly bitter butthurt attitude even though they try to pose as epic trolls.
