/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>"4chan has given me some amount of notoriety," Poole tells me the week after he retired, "but it certainly hasn't provided me with wealth." It's a frigid afternoon in New York, and Poole, dressed in a gray hoodie and jeans, is digging into a brunch of poached eggs and bruschetta at a cafe in the East Village. Poole has never made money with 4chan — he tried to monetize the site's extraordinary traffic, but advertisers were always too wary of the site's content. Not long ago, he was $20,000 in debt and had moved back in with his mom.

I'm pretty sure I've seen him at football games, on cruises, exploring Europe, going on vacation to Japan...

>Poole, dressed in a gray hoodie and jeans, is digging into a brunch of poached eggs and bruschetta at a cafe in the East Village

why do dork news sites do this

I don't need context on where you interviewed the gut just do the fucking interview you losers

>>13176853
Added description makes it seem less fake.
Extra words to increase your word count.
To piss you off.
To try and make you like them.
That's just how it's done.
Their boss will fire them if they don't.
They like it like that way.

>>13176853
Dunno about you, but boy do I crave some bruschetta and eggs right now.

>>13176916
Pretty hungry here myself. What's /jp/'s favorite proportionate mix for bruschetta?

>>13176800
I think moot was coerced into resigning

Daily reminder that another chan exists for if the buyer turns out to be a complete shithead. A chan of /v/ outcasts.

Shii should buy /jp/ at least. He'd save it.

>>13177032
Daily reminder that /v/ is scum on and off of 4chan.

Kim Dotcom or bust. He's the legion CoD babby we need.

Moot just got lucky with 4chan. He thinks people like coming here because of the original content. Give it a few years and he's lowtax 2.0.

/jp/ lets poole our jaypee monies and buy the 4chan.
We can make a board for every 2hu and idol.

>>13177120
I was saving it for the /jp/ mansion

>>13177077
Still better than nothing. Got another alternative that's gaining traction?

>>13176800
Nobody believes that, with his ability to fly around the world for fun, that moot hasn't made money off of 4chan.

>>13177077
Yup harassing female developers "for the lols" is just disgusting, at least moot kicked the raids they were doing where they just sent death and rape threats to them off the board.

>>13177032
Moot's gone.
/v/ is gone.
Now if we only get /a/ to leave, maybe /jp/ can finally be in peace.

>brunch of poached eggs and bruschetta
fucking classic moot right here

>>13177160
You don't actually believe all this, do you?

>>13177162
But then we have to get rid of /b/, /s4s/, /pol/, and the other normie boards.

>Most recently, 4chan has been in the crosshairs of two of the biggest controversies on the Web: the celebrity nude leaks called the Fappening, and Gamergate, the increasingly vicious battle over sexism in the video-game industry.
Both because of /b/, /v/, and /pol/. Hm, I think there's a pattern here.

>>13176800
>zuckerberg of the online underground
4chan was here first, could the writer gobble down facebook dong any harder?

>>13177171
Yes, I believe /v/, /b/ and /pol/ are full of legitimately misogynist and horrible people who will try to ruin other people's lives because they're jealous. If you don't believe it maybe you should fuck off back to one of those boards, crossie.

>>13177205
That's retarded normalfags for you. Bet most of those idiots don't even know myspace predated that shit.

>>13177195
I'm surprised there's been no loli related incident involving /a/

>>13177268
>he doesn't know about the anon and the two year old

>>13177136
I personally like lainchain, but there's also meguca and others.
If you want to clone 4chan/jp/, that'd be fine too. There are lots of open source imageboards that could be tweaked a little and extended to act like this.

Just need an easy place, that's all.

>>13177286
Making a /jp/ clone was the never the problem, the problem is that you can't replicate a /jp/ community. And unless the conditions are right, you're probably not going to get one, which is why never has never really been "another 4chan."

>>13177293
The last thing anyone should want to do is replicate /jp/'s community.

>>13177032
gnfos?

i'm gonna buy /jp/ and sell it on the bl*ck market!!!

>>13177350
Good luck!!

>>13177160
>Yup harassing female developers "for the lols" is just disgusting

Being a retarded white knight falling for a faux feminist agenda is even more disgusting.

And if you're on 4chan, and you expect not to see disgusting things of all sorts on 4chan, then you don't belong here.

Anybody that tries to gentrify 4chan, any board, should kill themselves, right now.

>>13177455
Classic toxic goobergators. Keep sending those rape and death threats, I'm sure you'll help fix the industry! Now fuck off back to your containment chan.

>>13177323
he said ``/v/ outcasts'' not ``/o/ outcasts''

>>13177477
>>>/v/

>>13177638
Na, if you're the one being a misogynistic pissbaby then you should be going to /v/ not me.

>>13177653
Eat shit.

>>13177160
>>13177208
>>13177477
>>13177653
Seriously, nigga, are you for real? Take your shit back to reddit or tumblr or wherever. You're not getting any support on the board for problematic pedo content. We know what the media think about us, we know what happens if they have their way, nobody's suicidal enough to support them just to spite /v/.

You sure can pull up some shitty posts by searching for "pissbaby".

/v/ killed 4chan.

>>13177749
I think modern /b/ had a big part in it, too.

>>13177754
The concept of containment boards is non-existent. As soon as you invite behaviour into your community you're going to have a tough time getting it out. It really takes an effort of the community in concert to clean things up.

If /jp/ wants to fix itself, it must first cleanse itself of generals.

>>13177801
Generals exist as a haven from the godawful community on the rest of the board that lashes out at any sort of new content. Do something about them.

>>13177293
>you can't replicate a /jp/ community
Half of /jp/ are already on /prog/

>>13177805
This isn't 2012 sweetie.

Even /jp/ is not free of taint.

But we must have faith.
>>13177805
If the community does not accept you, please go out.

>>13177162
If the new owner decides to clean up 4chan to make it more palatable to advertisers I can assure you that /jp/ will be one of the first to go.

>>13177840
That might actually be a good thing. There are multiple /jp/-like places, so we're not losing much. Plus, if this /jp/ goes, then it will no longer be disgraced by the normie and crossie menace.

>>13177840
I don't think so.
We will just see some boards like /pol/ guaranteed to be gone and new rules like no loli on all NSFW boards.

>>13177840
I will migrate to hacchan if that happens.

>>13177851
But I have so many comfy easy memories with /jp/ ;_;

>>13177854
Leave those memories to the dead, anon.

Let the dead have their peace.

We must move on to greener pastures, to spread the word of "take it easy".

I wonder how much it'd cost to buy.

>>13177829
>This isn't 2012 sweetie.
It's true, but anyone who wants to annihilate the generals should first at least acknowledge that they were a reasonable response to the entire rest of the board going to utter shit.

>>13177852
/jp/ was rated as "very dangerous"/the same as /pol/ in some SJWiki if I remember right.

And again, a /jp/ without loli is a fun-less /jp/.

>>13177883
>/jp/ was rated as "very dangerous"
What have we ever done beyond bitching about mods in general and domestic abuse of Meidou?

>>13177896
I think we're seen as pedos because of the loli and the things we say we want to do to certain characters.

>>13177896
>>13177905

"We"? Please leave.

>>13177917
god forbid anybody ever use a collective pronoun to refer to a group composed of different individuals

>that last sentence

I mean holy shit. He beat barack and oprah?

That's insane dudes.

Anyway, if he created it, then he can do with it as he sees fit. He's under no obligation to do this or that- why would he be afterall for his own creation?

If he wants to cash out then so what. "b-but muh animu board!"

Chris had little to no influence on the actual discussions here except for Q&A.

As long as the community exists, it won't change much over time. This happening doesnt automatically = "4chans dead now!"

>>13177883
/jp/ wasn't even included on that site's loli/pedo list.
/jp/ was listed for 'racism'.

>>13178006
KILL WHITEY!!!!

>>13178006
Probably butthurt coreans

>>13177879
Generals were a good idea when the board was getting spammed to shit, but they aren't needed now and we didn't need the mod from /a/ throwing his general full of subhuman trash here either. The entire concept of Generals goes against the point of an imageboard and turn into circlejerking, blogging and memespamming because most Generals don't have enough content coming in to warrant a 24/7 thread.

what has always weirded me out is that this site is visited by millions of people but this board is pretty slow

I never visit the fast moving boards, but its just weird knowing that you're posting on one of the biggest places on the internet

/jp/ is eternal and unchanging

there is no need to worry.

>>13178046
futaba seems to manage just fine with constant chained threads for popular subjects.

>>13176809
moot lying, how shocking

>>13176809
>>13178070
I think he means that it didn't make him rich. Obviously he made some money off it.

>>13178060
Good for them?

>>13178060
Constantly chaining threads that have discussion material isn't too bad, the KanColle general at least used to when I played always discussed gameplay and relevant stuff.

The problem generals are more when you get greentext blogging like ">Today I saw a tree, it reminded me that I will never have a monster tree gf... Hold my feels, bros." along with stuff like "Touch fluffy tail xDD, Pomf :3" and posts of that quality and the ones where people just treat the entire thing like an IRC chatroom and start talking about what they had to eat, or their plans for the weekend. If generals don't have content to discuss the quality of the discussion drops, if the there was nothing to discuss and there wasn't generals there wouldn't be a thread. Generals without sufficient content generate a lot of posts just for the sake of posting.

>>13177670
>>13177688
Yeah! Fuck women for doing things we don't like, let's raid them with pictures of gore and death threats /b/ro!!! You're literally chantology 2.0.

People like you are the reason Abgrund had to stop drawing traps. You may not like what they're doing but there's no reason to be an asshole about it.

I hope /jp/ dies so that I can finally leave this place.

>>13178200
Boy those knees sure are soggy.

I'm glad he's gone. He had obviously been a normie for years and didn't really give a fuck about 4chan. It's more like he stuck around out of some misguided sense of obligation.

I'm still worried about who will replace him, but hey, we always have 2+6chan.

>>13178277
I don't trust 2**3chan, the admin is already shaping up to be as bad as moot, if not worse.

>>13176800

>lolcats and rickrolling

Is this really what we will be known for, forever?

Ah fuck it, I guess that's better than publishing in depth and well researched writing about what goes on here to the average joe.

>>13178282

How so?

The only suspicious thing is no TOR as far as I can see. I haven't tried proxies to see if they work though.

>>13178303
This greatly concerns me. The invasion hasn't started yet, but it must be prevented.

>>13178303
>no TOR
When the fuck? Last I heard he encouraged people to use TOR

>>13178303
He keeps shitposting about jp on twitter. Reminds me of the puddi shit.

>>13178313
It's definitely tor accessible:
(can't post their twitter here)/status/564337275085918208

>>13178329

Who gives a fuck?

The FBI doesn't have your post-IP correlations on speed dial
He actively supports community efforts to govern their own boards and provides the tools to do so
He welcomes controversy instead of SHUT IT DOWNing it

He is objectively superior to moot. The only thing I don't really like is the whole making your own board thing leads to splintered communities and so each board is ridiculously slow aside from the top 3 (/v/, /pol/, and /b/)

>>13178313
>>13178335

And I guess I was wrong about the no-TOR thing, that was something I picked up from M-chan but truthfully I had never tried it myself. So I was probably wrong and going off of hearsay. So that's another plus for that website.

>>13176800
Nice dubs, did the mods filter out the term hot pockets?

When are we going to find out who bought the site?

>>13178329
He's a dumb faggot.

>>13177160
You really believed all that crap, I'm disappointed in you.

/jp/ is the land of exiles. Anybody who supports anything pro-3D, especially crocodile tears retarded female "game developers," can get the fuck out.

>>13177477
1) that statement they made is reflective many a people across all of 4chan, not just GG.

2) You're making claims you can't prove. No evidence connects any rape or death threats to them.

>>13177208
>third wave feminists and SJWs have even found their way into /jp/
I wish this autistic social justice fad would just implode in on itself already. All it seems to do is throw around these retarded fucking labels and call everything racist, sexist, problematic, toxic or some other non-criticism and act as if that's justification to shit all over the rights of whoever they're attacking. Please kill yourself out of /jp/ already and take your retarded guilt tripping ideology with you.

>>13178480
Funny thing is these are the same people attack every aspect of Japanese Culture to begin with. I all honesty seeing them on /jp/ makes me sick.

>>13178480
I want identity politics to leave /jp/ altogether.

I find them all insufferable regardless of what gender they believe to be oppressed.

get with the times /jp/

touhou is a problematic, toxic game

>>13176853
As a former journalist I can tell you that normies not only eat this shit up, but that most readers will flat out demand "spice" and "flair" and editors will (sometimes) refuse to print articles that ignore flair and just present facts and stakeholder opinions.

>>13178534
The only thing problematic is you giving people like @tonitonirocca and his/her/xir ideological opponents the legitimacy that comes with attention

>>13178544
A former journalist on /jp/?

The whole point of the post was to detect the crossies who would get butthurt about it. I'm surprised this many of you are so retarded to think someone would legitimately believe that crap on 4chan let alone /jp/, what do I expect from people who are probably here just to browse their monster girl general though.

>>13177840
Good. /jp/ is an unsalvagable and malignant cancer that has spread to every spin-off. The problem is not the host website but the userbase (and to a lesser extent the moderation, which allows kuso metathreads like this one to shit up the front page)

>>13178559
>what do I expect from people who are probably here just to browse their monster girl general though.

Yeah, not sure where they're from, but the monster girl general threads are full of people who have no appreciation for femdom, which is what monster girls are best at. To even suggest femdom or abusive monster girls gets them tripping all over their little boy panties.

And not one of them knows anything about what goes on in /jp/.

>getting butthurt about moot selling 4chan to some faggot that will likely destroy /jp/ means you're a normie
pls anon
>>13178571
It would actually be kinda nice in a way for /jp/ to be killed altogether as it feels like this board is so overmoderated and stagnant at times. If it got outright killed then /jp/sies might regroup on another chan that allows occasional funposts and actually knows how to take it easy rather than just being perpetually driven into the ground by heavyhanded autistic jannies. On top of that we'd likely be rid of most crossboarding normalfags as they wouldn't care or know enough about the board to be able to find /jp/2.0.

>>13178599
I think this thread won that without my help.

>>13178622
>getting butthurt about moot selling 4chan to some faggot that will likely destroy /jp/ means you're a normie
I meant the GG post, /jp/ has been through a lot worse times, moderation is easing up compared to how it was last year, the great shitposting of 2011 with Tokiko and that drove tons of people off really, most people I used to know on /jp/ from IRC just don't browse anymore or instead go to /bun/ or /tohno/ because of all the crossies here.

>>13178655
Can they handle those boards with 2 posts per day?

>>13178661
Sort of I guess, they end up using the irc channels for each more than the actual boards. I hate both Tohno and Jones though so I guess I'm stuck here.

>>13178651
Lies, slander, and irrelevance.

>>13178672
>>13178672
Wrong again. tripfaggots by their very nature are massive attention whores who want to stand out from the anons. Drama and shitty opinions follow them like flies attracted to dog shit.

>>13178689
She really is the best touhou. Perfect goddess on all accounts.

>>13178694
You just qualify as a shitposter who nobody wants sadly, kind of like Sudo apart from the fact you're not even good for mocking.

>>13178694
I consider tripfaggotry a dying breed personally. I used to be a tripfag myself but got lazy. I don't even remember my hash, i'd have to search through a stack of old CD-Rs for an ancient .txt on that.

I'll never understand why people get so butthurt over tripfags.

>>13178693
She's way too small it would never work

>>13178694

>>13178706
Because being a tripfriend used be be a sign that you were obviously up to no good whatsoever, more than just the average poster. Now, you can assume everyone is equally retarded.

>>13178705
I don't even really remember sudo, other than the fact that everyone used to make fun of him for liking Rin, and all the Rin/pig threads.

>>13178696
Touhou and /jp/ will never die!

>>13178696
I stopped visiting /jp/ regularly in 2012 so I don't really even know what Kancolle is. I know it has military girls like strike witches or something and there's an anime, but I've never felt compelled to learn about it and am pretty happy just funposting 2hu whenever I do come back. Unfortunately I only had 1 image of Tenshi though.

>>13178721
get out

>>13178721
Well look at it like this. While this site started our purely anonymous, the whole feature of even being able to be a tripfiend is part of 4chan itself. If people have a problem with it then theres a bajillion addons to filter #!

>>13177208
I am genuinely sorry for you that you either believe obvious crap or have inferiority complexes. You shouldn't call other persons horrible, as you'd be a fine unquestioning servant of a totalitarian dictatorship.

No, using any one of the numerous filter options which have existed for years, and which since time immemorial people have posted to let me know that my trip has been added.

If you were the janny what would you do differently, /jp/?

I would allow NSFW, kick out crossboarders and tripfags on sight, allow NEET/hikki blogging threads and permit more lax comfyposting in general.

>>13178808
Who in the hell are you quoting?

I'd do pretty much the same thing. But I'd get rid of the generals. All of them.

>>13178829
that sounds like /gnfos/
why don't you go there

>>13178843
That's not how this works.

That's not how any of this works.

>>13178849
No man, /gnfos/ is the other extreme.

>>13178844
I thought about generals as well but I don't know how you'd really deal with them. There's always going to be people who want to talk about idols/AKB/kancolle/vns/etc. who will latch onto generals of some sort as a place to go to and the material is certainly relevant to /jp/.

I guess the main issue I have with them is that they inevitably just keep going on and on because there people think there needs to be one up at all times even when fucking nothing of note is going to be discussed and you just end up with this spergy subcommunity within the board circlejerking over some subject that no one else cares about. Even if you outright ban the phrase "general"/"thread number #xxx" in thread titles you'd still get them going on in some way or another - people would just call it something different but it would still be the same shit. Minimum character limits on OPs could help but you'd likely undermine a lot of fun threads doing that.

I think the lax posting rules would help reduce generals though as people would feel more confident in funposting stuff related to whatever interest rather than being pigeonholed into "approved threads" and I think it's ultimately a cultural thing you'd have to influence a bit - just chastise people for creating lazy general threads and push them to post something more purposeful or interesting related to that shit rather than just "Idol General #146".

>>13178829
That doesn't sound very lax at all

I'm surprised that this thread is still up.
Why are they letting it slide?

>>13178920
The only strict part is crossboarders/tripfags. I don't mind crossboarders and wouldn't do anything about them unless they actively bring their board into /jp/, and while good tripfags do exist as a whole tripfags tend to be attention whores and all round shit so banning them across the board would likely be beneficial.

>>13178935
>tfw all the jannies are asleep and no one is babbysitting /jp/

>>13178901
the irony is that some mods/janitors actually encourage generals by deleting threads because "we already have a general on this topic, go post in there".

>>13178960
*sniff sniff* someones posting outside a general on /jp/

That's one of the major problems.
