/jp/ - Otaku Culture

4chan invented memes so it's okay.

Also is it possible to figuratively post?

>>11692307
But... that's what you are doing?

Also what's with /jp/'s low level trolling as of late? Might have something to do with Saten/Asuka spammer returning.

>>11692307
I remember everyone of those
I miss being a kid
I miss laughing at those retarded memes

>>11692308
>4chan invented memes so it's okay.
This is what newf*gs believe.

>>11692309
>Also what's with /jp/'s low level trolling as of late?
Are you calling me a troll? Check the link, tard.

Those memes are looking pretty epic, tbh.

U jelly or something bub?

>>11692311
I don't read twitter because that makes me a retard by default, such as yourself.

why the heck is meido in that

I hate getting pooled in with ``website culture'' it's so lame

>>11692313
I ain't even mad bro.

>>11692332
Skinny jeans are so gay.

but he's so moe moe kyun~

Why don't we ask him to frame that picture with all the /jp/ meemees? You know the one

>>11692330
Because there is no other way to attract janitors for /jp/.
>If you become a janitor people will make cute drawing for you and you will be featured on the meme hall of fame.

Remember when "memes" were just silly images with text on them?

>>11692337
I wear skinny pants and slim-cut jeans

>tfw still remember the time when ragecomics were good, before Reddit stole them

>>11692330
Fuck off from 4chan

>>11692307
normal by day
faggot by night.

>>11692344
Memes, memes have changed

>>11692351
I know that feel bro. ;_;
>tfw your classmates talk about memes all day, but you are too ashamed to admit you were there when memes were born.
I am like a king of memes compared to them, why should I be ashamed.....

>>11692351
>>11692360
Ironically those two and their 'my feels when' and 'my face when' and 'feels bad/good man' are the main culprits.

>>11692367
No way to avoid it, bro. Especially in this day and age, good things will be instantly popularized. :<

The other sites are run by people just as bad, so it's okay.

That's actually a cool image and I don't have anything against this.

Please don't start hating Dan Kim, /jp/. He's Corean, he doesn't know any better.

Memes are annoying.
People bitching about memes (on 4chan of all places) is even more annoying.

The solution?
Irony.

>>11692393
Irony is more annoying than both.

what has moot become

>>11692393
Woah, sorry for not considering your personal feelings when creating this thread. Next time I will be sure to check my meme privilege.

I don't see why this matters. The 4chan Otakon panels were full of memes and nobody complained, it's just a part of 4chan.

What does grill my beef is that he's using Twitter and Tumblr now. Not just "functionally", he's using them in the same way all the other hip kids use Twitter and Tumblr.

>>11692405
>nobody complained

LOL

>>11692405
But m00t always wanted to be hip and square, that's why 4chan was created.

>>11692403
/jp/ is your friends. If one of your friends was scared of spiders, would you go to her Halloween party dressed as a giant spider?
　This isn't about privilege. It's about common courtesy.

>>11692405
>Not just "functionally", he's using them in the same way all the other hip kids use Twitter and Tumblr.
He became too cool for 4chan and runs the site out of sheer benevolence.

Also because he still dreams of turning it into millions of jew golds.

>>11692411
Sorry, friend, I didn't mean offense. :)

this thread is full of friggin crossboarders...

That's some 4chan history.
And it was drawn by Dan Kim, /jp/ heritage.

Why does everyone seem so upset? It probably means a lot to moot. And collecting commissions from your favorite artists is definitely otaku culture.
And how can you get angry at the memes when a majority of 4chan doesn't even know half the things on that drawing?

>>11692421
Heh, I love the "crossboarder" meem.

>>11692408
What will happen when MooT finally grows tired of us and abandons 4chan?

Does anyone have bigger image? I want to reminisce the old times.

>>11692412
Is this comic agreeing or disagreeing with us? At first I thought it was agreeing, then I looked up what "miff" means and now I'm not so sure.

>>11692428
woxxy will take over.

>>11692428
He will try to make it into SA2.0 by hiring retarded overzealous staff.

>>11692428
he almost did before when he tried making all those other websites and then he realized everyone hated those other sites so he just came back to 4chan

>>11692428
He gives it to Mr VacBob-sama-domo-kun, who ushers in a new Golden Age of 4chan (starting with the deletion of all boards that aren't related to anime or otaku culture).

>>11692419
Whats the difference between jew gold and regular gold?

>>11692437
Jew gold is acquired in jewish ways like jewing over your userbase.

>>11692440
Can jew gold ever be unjewed? Like what if moot donated his jew gold to charity would the charity have jew gold or regular gold?

>>11692433
It's funny because events.

>>11692430
He saw the memes and got annoyed (miffed). You shouldn't have even need to look up what the word means, it's pretty obvious from context alone.

>>11692437
I never heard "Jew gold" until a few years ago. I've heard "Nazi gold" for decades, I think the implication is that the Nazis hoarded gold (SOURCE: Wolfenstein 3D).

Maybe antisemites are trying to reverse the stereotype. "No, it's the JEWS who have illegitimate gold they cheated people out of!"

>>11692437
Jewgold is when you implement a captcha as a temporary measurement against spam and then start selling the option to remove it.

>>11692444
I think Jew gold can be converted to regular gold by a gold dealer, but Jew gold is worth less because the Jews jew their gold by adding in non-gold to make it weigh more. You'll also get ripped off because all gold dealers are Jewish.

>>11692448
and moot is actually being thoughtful for once. What the hell, goyim.

>>11692449
My dictionary says a miff is "a petty quarrel or fit of pique".

So I can't tell if this comic is saying,
"The overuse of memes is annoying to the point where the guy escapes."
or,
"There are people so easily offended by memes that they overreact."

>>11692330
you just got Christopher POOLED

>implying i don't do the same

>>11692339

This actually happens fairly often when people are standing at attention. If you lock your knees, the bones pinch the flow of a major artery which delivers blood to your brain. You'll pass out. Militaries keep medical technicians on-hand when people are standing at attention because, despite them being told not to lock their knees, someone is always dumb enough. Thank the military recruiting process.

>>11692311
but 4chan did invent memes

>>11692632
How long does it take to happen? Can you feel it coming on? Does locking your knees just mean standing up as straight as possible or what?

>>11692643

You probably can't feel it coming on any more than any other type of unexpected fainting, or else people would stop. Maybe you feel slightly woozy beforehand? I dunno.

The only time I ever passed out was when I was 7 and I got heatstroke riding in a car with my mom.

>>11692330

>>11692643
>Does locking your knees just mean standing up as straight as possible or what?

It means straightening your knees as much as possible. Standing up straight refers more to the form of your spine

>>11692426
i no rite? it really ties in nicely to the whole 'weaponized /a/' meme XD

die crossies!!

>>11692307

I don't see why framing a pretty well drawn and fun picture like that is worshiping. In fact, considering he's the father of 4chan, it makes quite a lot of sense that he would frame a picture celebrating such an occasion as 4chan's birthday

Why are you so hostile, OP-kun?

moot is a Jew.

>>11692677
Dude must be like one of those self hating jews. He hates memes when other people spread them but is pretty happy to bring leddit/twitter/tumblr crap onboard.

>>11692631
Memes are literally from Metal Gear Solid. That's where 14-year-old Anon-kun got the word.

>>11692658
This is a pretty decent costume but it was made by some company:
http://www.seattlecosplay.com/2013/09/meido-from-4chan-rose-city-comic-con.html

Their article is cute because they're not familiar with the board, but Michelle, you have no excuse. Get out of /jp/.

>>11692734
I have nothing to do with this, dude, I just found it one day while searching for meido images.

>>11692728
Any certified Dawkins otaku here?

>>11692433
moot is gonna hire a pedophile?

>>11692751
Wasn't W.T. Snacks arrested for possession of CP?

>>11692738
MGS invented "meme" more than Dawkins did.

Video game played by millions to internet phenomenon seen by millions > some fedora book in the 1970s.

It comes from a Greek word, they deserve more credit than Mr. Edgy.

moot's Twitter is actually really cute. He keeps plugging his 3D printed webcam cover like a giddy little boy who won't shut up about the LEGO castle he built by himself that's so awesome and cool because it's the first time he thinks he's made something of value.

>>11692877
>If you use #3DPrintMyGift today, @GeneralElectric is sending out the Laptop Spy Block I designed for 3D Printing Day

moot sounds like one of those 1980s infomercials.

At least we know for sure he's a gentile. Jews are way better than this.

I think its fine for moot to do that. He's happy enough with the commission to frame it, and although it's silly, the image contains things related to the history of this site. I think it's good to be proud of something like that.

>>11692893
I don't care about moot but I'm sad Dan Kim rarely pays us attention these days. It's like he used us and moved on to a better scene. Just like Milk here.

>>11692900

Milk is getting old...

>>11692469
It's the first one.

>>11692307
All that "green text"... Why moot? Have you lowered your standards?

>>11692900
Reported.

>>11692900
>This is your life on MLP.
No even once. She looks worse than a methhead.

>>11692911

I don't think she actually gives a shit about MLP or anything else. She just attaches herself parasitically to any following that isn't socially conscious enough to recognize they're being preyed on and pry her off.

>>11692801
Much like tv tropes invented the word trope.

>>11692917
No, because "trope" was already in use in that sense.

"Meme" wasn't in use in the MGS sense before MGS.
"Meme" wasn't in use in the 4chan sense before 4chan.

>>11692917

Isn't 'trope' just retard-speak for 'cliche'?

>>11692444
Depends which charity. Also that jewgold could be used in better things like moving 4chan servers to a place with less assburger internet laws like Sweden.

>>11692924
No. It's a perfectly ordinary word that has been around in (roughly) its current sense for hundreds of years. It comes from Ancient Greek.

>>11692926

But the meanings are identical. People who use 'trope' instead of 'cliche' are just trying to be special.

>>11692926
Everyone who uses it today only knows it from tvtropes though.

If you look closely you will see them using capitalized tvtropes terminology.

>>11692930
People who use 'people' instead of 'folk' are just trying to be special.

>>11692930
Words have synonyms, go figure.

>>11692932
Not really.
http://www.rogerebert.com/search?q=trope

"Trope" is an ugly word you only would expect pompous reviewers to write. Sort of like "rotund".

>>11692930
Nobody would consider the use of allegory to be a cliche, but it's a literary trope.

>>11692933
People who use 'people' instead of 'folk' are not from the American south.

>>11692936
I'd say that about any film jargon though. If a critic describes something as being "clichéd", then I don't think he's doing a very good job.

>>11692930
Maybe they do it because 'cliche' is not actually a word until you put on the little accent thing, which I do not know how to do. Trope is easier to type.

>>11692933

That's a difference in dialect. The difference in 'cliche' and 'trope' isn't that they evolved in different parts of the world and retained simultaneous usage because of tradition, it's that pretentious teens wanted a special and fresh term.

>>11692631
It was somethingawful.

and 2chan.net in its own way but they don't call it "memes".

>>11692946
In Windows it's Alt+0233

>>11692947

LOL

>>11692940

No, it's a cliche. The words are literally identical in meaning. Do you understand what 'identical' means?

>>11692949
'Folk' is English, what kind of nerd uses the Latin word 'people'?

>>11692947
>It was somethingawful.

And Fark and YTMND and Slashdot and Usenet and oh just about anywhere because in-jokes and sending people stupid shit has existed forever.

>>11692947
Internet quizzes and things were called memes before or at least contemporaneously with SA's use of the word.

>>11692957
You mean for the history of human culture.

>>11692307
that's a nice picture and someone worked hard to draw it so i think it's cool that moot framed it and hung it on his wall unironically.

>>11692960

Your response has nothing whatsoever to do with what I said. Did I take you off your flowchart?

>>11692966
Why do you think the word people entered English in the first place?
It’s because someone wanted to be pretentious by using French.

>>11692954
How is allegory a cliche?

>>11692962
Humans have existed forever. There was no "ever" before we were created.

Fucking fedoraists.

>>11692962

No, fossil evidence exists of dinosaurs leaving funny sand drawings of mammals for each other at the watering hole.

>>11692969

Do you have a point? Last chance I'm going to give you.

>>11692969
In the days in which French words entered the English language, it would have been more pretentious to NOT use French, you pleb.

>>11692982
That you're a retard who can't accept synonyms with a similar history beyond the ones he grew up with because he's retarded.

>>11692393
No.

Why does this thread smell so crossboardy all of a sudden? Did you fucks forget to shower?

>>11692991
Get out of here, crossposter.

This reminds me of that "Navigating Love & Autism" article the New York Times posted. In the video the Aspie couple argued about whether "hyperbolic" referred to something that used hyperbole, or a hyperbolic curve.

People
- Used by French-influenced glorious upper class*
Folk
- Used by Germanic commoner plebs*

*Denotes historically factual statement regarding the English language

So all those posts were the Asuka guy's?

Why am I not surprised...

>>11693009
True
People > Peuple
Folk > Volk
