/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Sometime in 2010 (early?). Can't believe that was 4 years ago. I actually stopped coming here for like 9 months at one point, but in the end there really is no escape.

>>12182570
Wow, you managed to stay away for nine fucking months (that's almost a year) and STILL came back? That's weak, seriously weak, my friend. I'm disappointed in you.

>>12182570
>but in the end there really is no escape.

Not really, a ton of people were driven off of /jp/ for good during the janitor's reign.

This is my first time of /jp/ for months just because I was curious if anyone who isn't a 2hu autist still posted here. Other boards like /vg/ made this board redundant since you can discuss stuff there with a larger audience and without some autistic janitor combing ever post for deletion.

>>12182580
I'd rather not discuss something than discuss it with /vg/.

It's sad because anytime in the past I'd visit this board I'd just browse because it felt like I'd be disturbing something real beautiful by posting, and now I'm posting and it turns out that the apocalypse has already happened.

Expect your thread to be deleted within minutes.

The moderation here is often criticized as excessive, but it's important to consider how arbitrary and indiscriminate it often is. Why does >>12182263 exist, aside from having an image that seems as though it could commence a generic idol thread and an incomprehensible string of shitty english?

>>12182582
I don't touch /vg/ either, I'm just saying that people who get interested in /jp/-related stuff usually drift there rather than this board since this place is a dead husk hollowed out by jannie and his crew.

>>12182591
Because Japanese posters on /jp/ get a pass on everything.

>>12182578
>>12182580
Well these days I pretty much only come for the VN general. I glance through the catalog regularly but there's rarely anything that interests me, sometimes a non-general VN thread.

>>12182582
This.

>>12182582
>discuss it with /vg/
/vg/ doesn't hold "discussions". It's a pool of misinformation, ideational regurgitation and infuriatingly dull interactions. The interface just happens to permit generatation of blocks and strings of text - it isn't actually a platform enabling communication or thought.

This may be attributable to the density of underage posters or it's widespread affiliation with other pools of human refuse who happen to associate with video games. Either way it's unusable, though not to the extent of /jp/'s present state.

>>12182621
It sounds like you're implying /jp/ is worse than /vg/. I'd very much have to oppose that statement. Because, if it WAS true, I would have killed myself ages ago instead of coming here.

>>12182597
Eh I'll say that one guy who posts his photoshops is fine. I don't really have an issue with some guy like that deciding to chat with us. Though the thread in question is just trolling, obviously it's being posted here to get more people looking at pictures of this lady with cum on her face, it's only framed in such a way to avoid immediate deletion.

>>12182626
They are both utter shit and completely unusable, though for distinct reasons. I don't post regularly on either, and have no reason to do so.

>>12182621
Do you always format your posts like this?

>>12182640
It epitomizes the schizophrenic moderation tendencies of the board administration perfectly, though. Under the clarified and purportedly actionable ruleset, the thread is a prime candidate for deletion. I'm by no means an advocate of superfluous, overt posting guidelines and integrated moderation, but these retards can't even consistently execute their pointless, tone-deaf model in the first place.

>>12182597
Your tears are delicious, faggot Cracker.

I guess that's a yes.

>>12182565
>When did you grow tired of /jp/?

There's still no where else to go, and all of the /jp/ spin-offs are infested with literal retards (primarily /ota/ and Trevor's shit board). I tend to post a lot more on warosu than actual /jp/.

I got tired when /jp/ started being noticed and went from being a nice slow board to being full of autist spammers wanting to fill up the board with shit.

>>12182658
Well naturally their hierarchical system is going to just be as flawed as every one in modern society. Where I live no one becomes a cop because they want to protect people they become a cop because they feel powerless.

It's the same thing here. People who are too dumb to make good posts and have fun on a forum feel powerless, they remedy that powerlessness by toadying to become janitors.

You can see it on the majority of moderated websites. Every moderator has a martyr complex. They think they're doing such good for the community but really they're stifling a community they were just too stupid to be a part of in the first place.

I really don't think it's incompetence or anything more sinister, just a petty attempt to ruin our good time.

>>12182661
Lesson one shitskin: cracker isn't a proper noun.

>>12182621
imma take this for my crossboard adventures thx

This board would be awesome if all the people meta-whining every day about how the board was shit and they were going to leave actually did.

>>12182771
So when are you going to leave?

>>12182771
Where do you see these threads? All I see are five idol threads and five touhou threads. All day. Every day.

Stopped regularly coming to /jp/ often back around 2010 or so. Would occasionally check back around Reitaisai time to see if there was anything interesting released.

>>12182801
Don't worry, everything is much better when you aren't around.

I haven't cared about most of the subject matter since 2012, I browse less than an hour a week now.

>>12182778
A shame. You should go look at the other threads on the board.

>>12182846
What? All the generals?
Generals kill creativity and segregate the entire community.
Nowadays you can't get away with posting anything funny unless it's in a general, because it J*nny Approved™. Even though moots a faggot, he agrees, but he doesn't care enough about 4chan to tell the moderation staff to stop forcing everyone into generals.

>>12182876
>J*nny
Nice to see you again.

>>12182890
I'm not that guy, I don't know where he went. I've just become paranoid recently because any post that does have the J's name gets banned instantly.

>>12182895
It's just the mod that's been put in charge of us del/banning anything talking about the moderation (plus all the posts attached to that IP). I am almost certain everyone in this thread will be banned if he shows up before the janny deletes it.

>>12182915
>everyone in this thread will be banned

Oh god I can only hope.

>>12182921
Enjoy your ban I guess.

>>12182565
When Type-Moon started to decline and inane 2hu threads started to dominate the board. The assblasted janitor deleting general japanese culture threads and enforcing condensed VN threads didn't help either.
Seriously, at this point over 80% of the posts is 2hushit. The board is dominated by mindless 2hu imagedumps bumped into eternity.

Nowadays I just skim over the threads here and fuck off to /int/ or /sci/.

>>12183053
The board was made to get Touhou off of /a/. Complaining about it is retarded.

>/int/ /sci/
Oh, I understand now.

>>12182565
I gave up after touhou went to shit.

>>12183065
/jp/ wasn't even around in 2002.

>>12183066
Does /l/ count?

>>12183066
It went to shit for me after Byakuren.

They no longer fit the theme and the music idn't Castlevania tier, it's not engaging as it was, and the monstergirls crap for the most recent one really grinded my shit.

moot is a Jew

When they started deleting neet threads. So probably 2011 or 2012? I miss you /jp/, but nothing gold can say. Time to die.

>>12183059
>The board was made to get Touhou off of /a/
And a bunch of other things that wasn't anime & manga.
Touhou was cancer like mlp with both needing containment boards. Difference being /jp/ had content enough on its own to keep 2hu at bay.
But you didn't listen to moot and let one thing dominate the board, while killing everything else off. I lost count how many of my VN / japanese architecture / botany / politics or other niche threads got instadeleted due to "hurrdurr not 2hu" autism.
You can talk about these on /int/ while dumb american posters who should be ignored are also easier to spot.

Retards like you turned /jp/ into the shithole it is now. But I bet you don't care, since you're a 2hufaggot.

>>12182565
>When did you grow tired of /jp/?
just now bro, i'm going to stay on /what/. i left a note in the scenery thread. ;_;

>>12183085
I don't even like touhou, and I rarely leave the vn general. Why do you think moot changed the name of the board if he really wanted those things here?

>botany

I'm staying

Oh good, now the thread's being babysat.

Ban me all you want mod, you'll never break my Japanese spirit.

I never got tired of /jp/. I first came here in 2009 when someone posted one of those "there's a party in /jp/" threads on /b/. I didn't spend much time here though. Then in 2011 I was using 4chan on my phone and looked at the other boards. I clicked on /jp/ because I didn't know a lot about it. I thought the threads looked really interesting and cool. I wanted to fit in so I downloaded all the Touhou games and learned to play. I still play Touhou every day.

I don't think the generals are bad for the board. The wild and crazy atmosphere in 2011 was kind of fun but it was bad for the board. It was full of off-topic crap. Today the board is more on-topic.

>>12183097
>and I rarely leave the vn general
You're part of the problem. There is no VN discussion outside of the general thread anymore. There are no threads to specific VNs anymore. In the general everybody makes a few comments about random games probably only a few other people played in the thread, then it gets washed away. There are no threads to cluster up people who played a specific game. Most of them probably left the board already too.

>Why do you think moot changed the name of the board if he really wanted those things here?
Moot didn't give a shit. It was 2hufag whiners crying a river to change things so instead of shitposts we can have 2hu shitposts. Yes, there were threads which blatantly didn't belong here, but you decided to cut down a limb for an itch.

Also, this thread is the typical example of the janitor's overarching autism who can't deal with free speech.

>>12183110
>It was full of off-topic crap. Today the board is more on-topic.
pls die

>>12183116
There are VN discussions outside of the general. There was a Rance IX thread posted just a while ago, but they're usually EOPs circle jerking to whatever decade old game has gotten a translation recently. The only reason people even talk about anything at all in the general is because it's getting posts about other games. No one wants to make a thread they know isn't going to get any interest.

>There are no threads to cluster up people who played a specific game
The five of them that have are in the general.

If you want I can make a thread for every game that comes out on the 27th. All 40 of them. Then you can watch as none of them get a single reply.

Also, it's the mod in this thread, you can tell from the bans.

I wish ja*itor started deleting those retarded toushit threads. They are ubelievably shitty and full of greentexting /v/tards.

And why do generals still exist? They were created mostly because of raids. And nobody is willing to raid this dead board anymore.

>>12183161
>ja*itor
Still retarded, dude.

>>12183127
>EOPs
This is something so dumb shit only an american could come up with and propagate it out of shallow superiority. Like more than half of the board are not native english speakers including myself and it just confuses me to no end. I have also played a few games in moonspeak and regularly read RAW manga, but somehow I should feel bad for having a better command over english?
Also, years ago (and probably even now too) the majority of VN players couldn't understand japanese good enough to finish a complete game, yet it didn't affect the quality of the discussion. Hell, those on release "circlejerk" threads were good.

>No one wants to make a thread they know isn't going to get any interest.
You only think so because you don't see those threads. Countless of my (and other's) threads got instantly deleted and we got indirectly told to kindly fuck off with this shit to the general and don't kill precious space for touhou threads.
I don't like generals outside of /vg/, because it restricts content and discussion. This is especially true in the case of the VN general, since it's a messy shit of posts about games I either 1, don't care about 2, never going to play 3, don't want to read about yet.

>Then you can watch as none of them get a single reply.
Sooner or later as more people play it there will be replies. It also garners wider interest if an interesting screenshot or something pops up, while it would be washed away in the general.

>>12182565
>When did you grow tired of /jp/?
I wouldn't say tired, but I started spending more time elsewhere when it became shitposting central.

Heavy moderation is shit, but so was the shitposting to the point of borderline unusable that preceded it.
Ideal point in time being before heavy moderation OR shitposting tsunami, but I doubt that can be hit again.

>>12183178
The majority of the discussion years ago was of the same games over and over. Saya, Type moon, Umineko. It's about damn time people got sick of talking about them. Except Umineko unfortunately. Like I said, games still get on release circle jerk threads. Grisaia got several, and I'm sure whatever sufficiently REAL DEAL game gets a translation next will get threads.

>since it's a messy shit of posts about games I either 1, don't care about 2, never going to play 3, don't want to read about yet.
How would that be any different if they were posted outside of the general? They would just be whole threads instead of individual posts.

>Sooner or later as more people play it there will be replies. It also garners wider interest if an interesting screenshot or something pops up
You seem to be severely overestimating the number of people that can actually read the language and also have an interest in visual novels on this site, never mind the board. Most likely there will not be more people playing it unless it gets a translation, and by the time that happens it's not likely to be of any real interest to anyone who could read it when it came out. If not even the desperation of the peasants is enough to generate discussion then there was never any real interest at all.

>>12183215
>The majority of the discussion years ago was of the same games over and over. Saya, Type moon, Umineko
Still better than touhou constantly.
And in the case of TM and Higurashi/Umineko there was always some kind of fresh content, like fightan games, news, spinoffs, magazine scans or whatever that could generate discussion. With touhou there are only lewd pictures, doujin music with questionable quality and faceless rapists giving dickings.

>How would that be any different if they were posted outside of the general? They would just be whole threads instead of individual posts.
It's more condensed, easier to filter or discuss. It would also more likely catch my interests if people talk about a specific game than random disconnected posts in the general where often you can't even tell it's from the same game.
And there would be less touhou threads.

cont,

>>12183215
>Grisaia got several
>You seem to be severely overestimating the number of people....
You're completely wrong. I played Grisaia much later and my Grisaia threads got deleted after I finished it some time ago. Not because they lacked interest, but because the janitor was a fucking retard. There was nothing against the rules, just his autism kicked in, like how a bunch of harmless posts in this or other threads get deleted for no reason.
There were a bunch of people you could talk about specific VNs back then. They've left, just like how I can't be bothered anymore to dare making a non-touhou thread or post about my impressions. The current situation is the result of years of bad policies (/shit janitors).

Also, VNs, like books, but unlike movies, work with different dynamics. They remain relevant longer and the interest is more evened out on the time axis. The initial rush and hype is less important than in anime. Believe me, there are people out there who are just starting to play certain games. They're not on this board though, since they can't talk about those games here. Looking at the threads /jp/ is just for 2hu and idols anyway, right?

I'm here for the memes,sir.

Useless shit brained mods/janitors will be remembered as the ruiners of 4chan. They line the pockets of moot by shaping his community so that it is full of pass buying normies. They receive for this no pay and no remembrance. They like to think they are performing some greater deed by keeping this site clean and helping ``enhance'' it. That is false. They drive away the old users and replace the old culture with a hugbox pass vending machine. Their lives are worthless, spent living to the will of moot, they are moot's niggers. Much like the internet equivalent of a literal faggot they are mentally flawed, naturally promoting not their own ideas (children) but those of moot, designed to afford him an extravagant lifestyle while they waste away their lives toiling against nothing. They are followers, small men, untermensch. These are subhumans the world would be better off without.

This board has been awful since day one because it's not in line with the board culture to be friendly. It's the same problem every board on 4chan has, at least to my knowledge (although I've heard nice things about /tg/ being helpful and friendly while still maintaining high quality discussion but I have little interest in tabletop games so I've never been in there.) However, there are things here that you can't get anywhere else on the net, which is why everyone keeps coming back to it. For me it's the active discussion of niche topics like kigs and denpa that don't have much of an English-speaking net presence outside of this board that's the most appealing. People have attempted denpa threads on websites other than 4chan but the community seems to be centralized here. If everyone just picked up their shit and left to somewhere else I would probably leave with the crowd but that seems unlikely, at least in the foreseeable future.

>>12183321
>fresh content
They were the exact same thing every time, power level arguments and roleplaying, until Umineko ended now they're all people desperately trying to convince themselves that the games made sense.

Your hatred of Touhou really seems to take precedence above all else here.

I'm sorry that your threads have gotten deleted, but I'm not in charge of this. I don't know what the threads were and why they got deleted, but there are threads being made that don't get deleted. I don't like the moderation either, but that's not really got anything to do with the general threads. People aren't going to the general because of the moderation, they go there because they know they can actually discuss untranslated games there. Translated games would be better off starting a new thread because they have a chance at generating a discussion outside of the general.

>Believe me, there are people out there who are just starting to play certain games.
I'm sure there are, but why would even assume those people would come here in the first place? Honestly if you're talking about /vg/, I'll have to agree with >>12182582. I'd rather the discussion die entirely than be kept alive with the sort of output that /vg/ generates. And really, unless they're keen on discussing untranslated games I'm not likely to care either way.

For giggles I just looked at the front page and there's one Touhou thread and two idol threads.

I only recently began to come to /jp/, and I'm not tired of it yet. It's slower paced then other boards, but that's not a bad thing. While Touhou does seem to dominate the playing field, there's at least a little bit of variation in thread types. I'm coming to enjoy Touhou, or at least think it's cute. Sure, there's a large number of shitposters, but there's a large number of shitposters everywhere so there's no real respite.

>>12183384
>They were the exact same thing every time, power level arguments and roleplaying
I don't remember any roleplaying, but powerlevels were fun. People actually managed to reach conclusions in the end.

>Your hatred of Touhou really seems to take precedence above all else here.
I don't particularly hate it, I've played a few games and fapped to the porn a lot. I just can't stand the current state of affairs where pointless touhou threads exist while relevant non-touhou ones are constantly being deleted without even giving them a chance.

>I'm sure there are, but why would even assume those people would come here in the first place?
Because in the past if you wanted to discuss VNs people either came here or to animesuki. Of course now there are a bunch of other sites to discuss VNs, particularly because /jp/ let go of the VN crowd in favor of more touhou.
It's quite telling how many VN threads were on /a/ before the crackdown and how all these people rather went to /vg/, because /jp/ was full of elitist pricks with irrational hatred toward these "EOP"s.

>I'd rather the discussion die entirely than be kept alive with the sort of output that /vg/ generates
And that's the kind of retarded elitist mentality killing communities.

> I just looked at the front page
Use "All threads" and see all those retarded touhou threads which constantly get bumped.

I'm new here too, been comming since September because of Kantai Collection.
I tried playing EoSD, but it's a little to hard for me and I end up getting frustrated a lot - but it's definetely more fun to play than Kancolle.

I really enjoy the oddball nature of /jp/ where I'll read meaningless garbage in one thread and come around something very interesting in another thread and how people here really know what they are doing when it comes to some things.

>>12183384
>the sort of output that /vg/ generates
I'm not really familiar with /vg/, can you explain? I just went over there and it just seems like boring old tripfag circlejerking.

>>12182565
At least there is relatively on topic discussion here, as far as whats allowed.

>>12182565
Touhou is declining, havent play any game related to it since GoS. Last real 2hu game I played was the one with bowl boss.
Losing interest in VN, back then there was so many VN to play. Now? Nothing.
/jp/ doesnt even play FOTM MMO anymore. Instead we have fucking tons of idolshit thread.
Kantai? ded thread, dead game. Game is already dying after 1year.

Now I watch fuck tons of anime compare to at the start of /jp/ creation back in 2008.

As long as we can have metathreads that go at a faster speed than all of the other threads combined all is well with the world.

When the nazi janitor was in control things were really bad and /jp/ was about to die, but now it's a bit better.

Not as good as the old days, but whatever

>>12182565
>It was an amazing place when we were self-moderated,

And by "amazing" you mean "filled with constant terrible posts, angry at everything not Touhou, and unbelievably toxic"

>>12183579
You are saying this like elitism is a bad thing.
In fact it's a beautiful thing.
Back when I I first joined /jp/ it motivated me to learn about the board and become a better poster, so that I wouldn't emberass myself in the future

I got tired of every board years ago.
But I still come here once or twice a week.
Dammit, how unprofessional is moot to destroy the only thing the site had going for it.

>>12183579
>toxic

I'm not even into Touhou or Kancolle or VNs that much but for some reason I've been here for the past 6 years or so. I guess it's the atmosphere and the fact that I can talk about general Japanese related things and MMOs and stuff. I don't know where I'd go if it disappeared.

I do kind of want other generalist otaku friends who live in Japan to talk to. Any around today? It'd be nice to have an IRC or just chat on Skype or something.

/jp/ is a lot better now than it was a few years ago when half the board was tripfags, most of which knew each other IRL, circlejerking, having conversations about when they'll meet up and other blog shit. If you think that should return, then i don't know what's wrong with you.

>all this janitor shilling

>>12183599
>tfw moetron will never repy to you

Something something wasteland

DREAM ON

DREAM ON DREAM ON

DREAM AWWWN

It feels like I've moved into a ruined kingdom.

/jp/ is on the brink of death: it gets about 2 post per minute (down from 4-5 last year), about half of that is the Kancolle general, the rest is split between various general and recurring threads, image dump threads, the occasional crossboarder wandering over here. I wonder if /jp/ can be saved or, with most of the userbase seemingly extinct, it's doomed to become the containing board for /mu/ and /vg/ rejected generals and Touhou imagedumps. Maybe old man moot will finally kill us off.

I used to be a casual lurker&poster here, until a few years ago when I got tired with /a/.
The same troll reposts which receive 250+ replies every day, shitty blogging/greentext stories, greentext&implying faggotry, radioshit and untz spam, imagespam(when something "epic" gets posted and retards flood reaction pics in response), closet normalfags, "JAPAAAAAANNN"-styled spam, gaia-level big3 threads with on a daily basis, gay/cross-dress spam, LGBT pride boys, dumb as wood tripfags(Uidrew&co. etc), ignorant /jp/-rejects, cross-board fanfic shit, poop-level waifufags with their /soc/-tier waifu threads, constant meme usage, shitty /b/ macros/reaction pictures accompanied with a post text fitting the image. But after the newest board flavor -- that is roleplay&fanfiction.net threads, I thought that I had enough.

It became painfully clear that even though /jp/'s quality is obviously better compared to most 4chan boards, it'll soon either follow the path of the others or die completely.

But I was too late, as it seems that this place is nearing its end.
>>12183634
Why did you leave us?

>>12183672
I'm still here, aren't I?

>>12183672
It's already dead. I can tell from the increased usage of "anon", and other factors, that the /jp/sie to crossie ratio is unbalanced. Trust me I'm an expert.

Go boil your head jannie, smegmir was some prosaic, dime-a-dozen sockpuppet who somehow found it right that he should dictate the terms and conditions of enjoyment for hundreds of people.

And don't you dare delete this post, vermin, under the illusion that it's just another "retard". It is quite evident that even valuable and creative posters can disagree with you (Who'd have thought!) considering the 2014 post rate and thread line-up.

I am fuming goddamn even for the barrage of piss that is /jp/ history this is unprecedented

A usual reminder: Anyone complaining about all the wonderful threads getting deleted is welcome to point out the ones they started or wished to discuss in: >>/jp/?search_op=op&task=search2&search_del=yes

This is really a fundamental problem here, and I don't think the discussion can lead into anything meaningful until some of you accept that there's no evil entity deleting every great post on the board, they're just not being made, and you're the ones not making them.

>>12183755
> they're just not being made
Gee, I wonder why.

Why isn't janitor deleting shitty touhou threads, especially those about youmu and patchouli? They are horrible.

>>12183802
I personally blame the overreacting users. When you yell at everyone that takes a risk at a non-established topic people stop trying. Then moderation tries to do their job and get rid of the posts that add nothing but an oppressive atmosphere, only for things to turn around and accusations of babysitting start flying.

We have the board we deserve. We fostered shitty users over time with the constant hostility years ago so it's time to reap the rewards.

>>12183824
The quality rule is too much of a grey area, so they play it safe and avoid the obvious lashback that would happen. "janjan deleting jp content 2hu not allowed". That sort of reaction

I gave up on the board in 2012, and now I spend most of my time in a general. Once in a while I take a look at the front page but usually there's nothing really interesting around. I got bored of Touhou some time ago and that also killed most of my interesting. If you like the random imagedump threads, though, you can probably still have some fun.

Well it's good to know that the board is actually fine and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.

Ugh... Why am I even explaining this to a newfag who can't do his own homework *shakes head in disgust*

I guess weren't hear for that /int/ leak.

>>12183920
There was a leak a while back that listed the janitors for each board.

If you ask me, it's the difference between what sort of poster would be pissed. Someone upset that their topkek thread was deleted isn't high on the list of priorities.

The problem with removing Youmu is soft category threads is that you don't gain anything by deleting them. There was a point where trying to direct the board by trimming some threads was possible and we left that long ago. All you achieve is reduce the board even further and that's a recipe to get the post rates down to nothing. And xenophobia is a relic from a past when we got raided every day and the userbase was still mostly old /a/. It's ridiculous to keep up the elitist stance when we can barely sustain discussion in a single VN general thread.

Going by you, around the time I got into kigurumi I guess. Or am I really saegrimr?
We have enough paranoia with the moderation seeing ban evaders everywhere.

Please respond.

You had to go back a week to find five remotely relevant threads, and you don't really know why they've been deleted, or if at all. This is not a board-saving amount. There will always be false positives and collateral damage from bans, and that's that.

>>12183824
There used to be a time when shit threads were deleted on /jp/ just for being shit, at which time Touhou haters quickly realized it also applies to their threads. There was a lot of whining and the deletions stopped.

Maybe it's for the best. Shitty threads don't damage the board nearly as much as whining does.

>>12183928
What about mass deletions? It reduces the traffic considerably.

Also how >>12183634 and >>12183707 link to AoC and >>12183836 links to Anonymous?

>>12183949
>you don't really know why they've been deleted, or if at all
>or if at all

>>12183956
Because AoC dropped his trip when he felt like whining.

>>12183956
This is pretty accurate >>12183961

I don't think we even see mass deletions anymore. When was the last time we actually lost a couple pages? Haven't seen it dip below 10 in months.

Do we seriously need an imagedump and a discussion about every touhou and their body part? The board couldn't even hold all that content, since there are more 2hus than threads we can have, so it's fine!
Imagedumps are fine, but every "hey guys I found a lewd 2hu picture would you sniff *2hus name* *body part*?" threads should be removed. Touhou threads also shouldn't exceed more than a certain % of the total amount of threads.
/jp/ clearly needs a wider variety of content, especially since with the decline of touhou its threads are just going to get worse. In fact, many of them are artificially kept alive and are wasting space.
