/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hey guys, remember when /jp/ was good?

>>1721521
In before "/jp/ was never good" bullshit.

>>1721521
Yes.

>>1721506
Aya thread?

>>1721521
SO I heard that /jp/ used to be good.
"Hey guys, remember when <insert imageboard here> was good?" is the cancer killing <insert imageboard here>

>>1721532
I don't understand all the threads with long Japanese titles that keep getting made and reaching 200+ posts. What are they even talking about in there, aside from lolitas?

>>1721536
/b/ is the cancer killing EVERY board on 4chan.

>>1721527

It was good until Touhoufags decided to ruin it.

>>1721521

It wasn't that long ago, of course I remember. I just have a shitty memory, not Alzheimer's.

/jp/ is the cancer killing moe

>>1721546
So you mean it was good for about twenty seconds?

>>1721572
It's started for the university faggots, which is where the worst people come from.

Has Christmas vacation started for the underageb& yet? I've noticed an influx of newfriends lately.

>>1721546
It was good until you appeared.

>>1721567

No, it was actually going well until a few geniuses decided that "user moderation" was needed on a general discussion board.

>>1721575
I thought its high school

>>1721575

My school sucks, I don't get break until the week of Christmas.

Hey look, yet another thread with random touhou image and no actual content. Just like 80% of all other shitty /jp/ thread in the history of /jp/

>>1721599
Good christ, can't you tell that the only reason people make those threads is to troll?

>>1721599

This worked better when it was actually true and not just a relic from a past era. I like it better now, though. Makes me feel nostalgic.

>>1721588
And I thought people here could use punctuation, but I was mistaken.

Honestly people, stop replying to obvious trolls. If you see 'XD', 'omg', etc. don't even bother responding. Yes, I know, there's a chance that they're newfriends that don't know any better, but ignoring them is still the best course of action. When you see a post asking for sauce on Tsukihime, don't respond. If you see a post asking for sauce on WtK and the guy says he's been in the hospital for the last two months, it's probably safe to tell him.

The 'thurs moar thn animu in jpn' threads. STOP POSTING IN THEM. Even if some asshat replies, don't respond, it's most likely the OP talking to himself anyway.

Remember when /jp/ and Pooshlmer both crossposted all the time?

>>1721640
The biggest problem I've been seeing recently is people responding completely seriously to everything, like there's actually discussion to be had out of a topic, asking stupid questions. Recently, there was "what makes you think you're Akagi" in a thread very close by. Completely ruins the flow of a conversation. I'm not wording this right, but I hope people get my general gist.

>>1721692
Yeah, the useless responses, we can do without those. In another thread someone mentioned 'buy' and the first response he got was 'ew buy'. That's not worth a post, even if you do sage it. We're all on 4chan, it goes without saying.

How is this already off the first page? This time of day is the worst time of day for /jp/.

>>1721724
As you can see, these are the kinds of people I was talking about in >>1721692. Why is a person like this even posting here?

>>1721722
>Yeah this is a pretty good picture, ima give this bitch some fat ass thighs and bigger tits in photoshop looool i bet she'd like that
...are you fucking kidding me? Why are people posting in that thread?

>>1721805
Seems that it's going to turn out like the Klein thread, except not good, with a bunch of reposts, and including the OP trying to contribute for no reason.

>>1721778
Check out the response I got. Is /b/ down or something? As I scrolled to find this thread, I saw a lot of random stupid flow-killing yelling.

>>1721825
It's one person with a lot of time to be stupid. Guess we should be thankful he's not fucking up some other place we like.

Most I've ever raged at /jp/. He's back in >>1721821.

I miss the day after HF's release.

Best thread on /jp/ in a long time. Content-wise, not OP-wise.

>>1721640
>STOP POSTING IN THEM.

People not listening to this is how users like athens thrive. You're not obligated to talk to everyone here. I used to rage at ponpo when she would respond to shit threads because she "wanted someone to talk to" or whatever. This isn't speed dating, you're allowed to keep your mouth shut.

>>1721891
Is ponpo the same person as Klein? I was wondering.

>>1721926

Yes.

>>1721891
>she

No.

>>1721934
They act quite differently, though.

>>1721891

>she

Stop metatrolling.

>>1721942
>>1721976
Stop being unoriginal faggots.

this is a stupid thread
who the fuck cares? ill post what i want

>>1721891
I'm not sure why you're bring me of all people up in this thread since i've avoided responding to it at all, which is what the person you quoted was talking about. Person calling the people who troll the idol threads rather than ignoring them idiots = me.

Anyway, I understand your sentiment about those "ronery" threads but I never made them, I reported them for the most part, and my replies were mostly saged. Regardless, those aren't getting made very much anymore thankfully, so don't fret.

>>1721926
Yeah.

>>1722016
You're an awesome poster, but we need to work on getting more people reporting shit threads.

>>1722029
I don't know, people only end up reporting things they hate whether or not it's against the rules. I'm sure a lot of people report every idol thread despite it being acceptable to post in /jp/ and I report every pedophile news story post since it ends up becoming nothing about Japan and an argument on pedophilia, but the reports usually don't do anything.

>>1722039
How about we just elect you as a mod?

>>1722043
Or you could just hide threads.

>>1722039
>I report every pedophile news story post since it ends up becoming nothing about Japan and an argument on pedophilia,
Out.

>>1722043
Well obviously a bad idea if threads I think aren't suitable and I report don't get deleted, huh? Besides the RAGE that would occur.

>>1722048
This. I can't hide threads, but >>1721640 got it right with saying people just need to stop replying to everything (not like this will happen.)

>>1722039

>I'm sure a lot of people report every idol thread despite it being acceptable to post in /jp/

Oh ponpo. I know you haven't been around that long, but you've certainly been around long enough to drop the "All things Japanese welcome" troll. It's like training wheels, it's only okay for when you're just starting out.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering what the fuck use I'm ever going to have for all of these flash grenades in RE4. I can never find a situation where it seems like it would be useful to throw one.

>>1722055
No, you get out, /a/ faggot.

>>1722048
There are other, better browsers than Firefox, moron.

>>1722067
1. Shoot a group of mexican's heads off.
2. Toss flash.
3. ???
4. Profit!

>>1722067
Low on ammo, lots of zombies, need to run past.

>>1722059
Sorry I didn't mean that, I just mean with the amount of people who apparently hate / report the threads and considering there are new idol threads literally every single day the mods would have deleted / said they aren't allowed by now. I might be wrong, but I've yet to see idol threads that haven't been trolled by Taiga or whatever get deleted, so they must be at least somewhat acceptable to the rule makers.

>>1722072
>/a/ faggot.
I've been coming here much longer than you, Anonymous-kun.

>>1722055
>>I report every pedophile news story post since it ends up becoming nothing about Japan and an argument on pedophilia,
>I report every ... news story...

Fair enough. I would expect no less.

>>1722078

Shit's awesome in house siege with Luis.

LUIS NOOOOOOOO.

>>1722079

It's because no one that mods /jp/ understands /jp/. We don't have any natives. Just that one REALLY retarded janitor who's almost never around, and only deletes good, rule abiding threads. Even if the idol threads were to be judged /jp/ material, the Aya fag is clearly just a persistent troll, and yet his daily troll threads only get deleted maybe once or twice a month.

ONE genuine /jp/ mod is all it would take to shape this fucking place up, fuck.

>>1722078
DOS BYO DOSPER APERADOSSSSS (obviously I hate no idea what they say)

>>1722079

>Low on ammo
>RE4

GIVING YOU A DISCERNING LOOK

>>1722098
What, you've never used the Chicago Ty-shit.

>>1722095
Anyone to suggest /jp/ needs more mods/janitors to? It seems these kinds of threads/discussions come up enough often enough to warrant some, if there is actually only one.

>>1722114

>Anyone to suggest /jp/ needs more mods/janitors to?

Presumably moot, but I don't think he gives half a shit about /jp/. He only made it so /a/ would stop crying, I don't think it matters at all to him how shit it gets. Probably more focused on reigning in the faggotry on the bigger boards.

Shit, I just realized that as I was idling and browsing /jp/, the playtime counter on RE4 jumped up about 3 and a half hours.

/jp/ doesn't need any more janitors. Regardless of who gets the job they will have opinions of their own on how the future of the board should turn out and they will act according to those opinions. The only real problem we have here is trolling and the trolls are VERY easy to spot and ignore. If you see a thread you don't like, HIDE IT. If you see an obvious troll, REPORT IT. If you see a troll that's original and funny, just let it go. We don't need every off topic thread reported, they're usually better than most of the touhou/typemoon threads anyway.

I might be biased, but leave the pedo threads alone. I enjoy them a lot and I ask that if you don't like them, please just hide them.

>>1722016

Even so, I still blame you for egging on athens. I've been screaming for the longest time about what he's been doing to the board and that everyone should ignore him but nope HE'S THE DEFENDER OF RONERY MEN DERP DERP DERP

And you always had to say GEE ATHENS I BELIEVE YOU ARE MISINFORMED ALLOW ME TO ENLIGHTEN YOU ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL TOPIC WHILE I SIP TEA AND LISTEN TO MOZART HAVE YOU READ THE NEWEST TROTSKY DISSERTATION YET IT'S QUITE GOOD

And yeah, leave our pedo threads alone.

>>1722185
With this logic though, one could post absolutely anything in /jp/ and just tell people to hide it. There needs to be at least some sense of what is and isn't allowed.

>>1722199
Yeah, you're right. I'd prefer everyone not respond to everything, but I guess I'm guilty of it too sometimes.

I still don't see how the generic philosophy of pedophilia being right or wrong is related to anything, though.

>>1722185

Do you see what /jp/ has become? Do you understand? If we were having this conversation months ago you'd have a point. But there is a significant presence of unwelcome outsiders from /r9k/ and the like here now, and I don't think banning athens alone will get rid of them. After all, look how many athens imitators have sprung up as soon as the niche emptied. Ignoring those problems don't make them go away. When we gave in to the idolfags, they went from one thread to two. Complacency brings ruin. If the foreign barbarians aren't cast out they'll continue to multiply until /jp/ is merely an annexed province of /b/.

But yeah, the pedo threads should just be left alone.

>>1721805

People are posting in that thread because we're not all humorless faggots.

INTERNET IS SERIOUS 4CHAN IS SERIOUS is dumb as shit. Why can't you just laugh at a ridiculous thread?

Age to counter /a/ faggotry.

>>1722200
/jp/ does and always will love loli. It's a board tradition, we've had it here since the start and the majority of the people willing to ban those threads do so because of their own moral beliefs. It's not like I'm pulling a topic out of my ass here and saying it's /jp/ related, lolicon is from Japan and this is the best board to discuss it.

>>1722254
But lolicon as a love for lolis doesn't end up getting discussed but rather "pedophilia owns I love children and I watch CP in my phone" vs "no it's wrong you sicko you're ruining lives" etc. Lolicon is one thing, the ethics of legitimate pedophilia is another.

>>1722264
In your phone?

>>1722268
er, home...and with that it's time for bed.

>>1722268

For when you just really need some CP while stuck on the subway.

>>1722229
What do you expect the mods to do about newfriends? All they can do is reinforce the rules, they can't force anyone to learn about the true nature of the board beforehand. They'll remove our good offtopic and loli threads while ignoring the 'lol im going to japan with my girlfriend' threads. In the end we'll be losing our freedom in exchange for the one REALLY BAD troll thread you see every two or three hours and those can be ignored, hidden, and reported.

>>1722264
There are different kinds of pedo threads. We have the 'Hey, I was with my loli cousin and we spent all day at the park I saw her panties and they were really cute.' kind of pedo thread and then we have the 'lol hai guise i can rationalize the legalization of rape cp' kind. The former does need to be dealt with, but you can do that using the report feature.

Know when to report and when not to.

>>1722301

Why do you just ignore the whole "native /jp/ mod" part, as in ONE OF US given mod powers?

Find a random Anonymous like me or you, one that won't go mad with power, and make him a moderator. Watch all the shitty threads disappear nigh-instantaneously with judicious use of board bans.

The picture you're painting is what we have right now, except that one faggot janitor is almost never around to ruin shit. Obviously I would never advocate some kind of censorship crackdown. I just want them to give one true /jp/ bro the power to ward off the inevitable decline as long as possible. Is that really too much to ask?

>>1722236
Because it's not my sort of humor, and I'd rather have a somewhat casual topic on /jp/ that toys with the boundaries of SERIOUS BUSINESS and some good humor?

>>1722330
>former

I do hope you mean latter.

>>1722236
Personally, I just can't enjoy that there are people that seriously believe in some of the stupid shit they say. If they're trolling, it's a burden off my mind and I can smile at what they're doing, but the people that fall for the trolls or the people that actually aren't trolls just give me a headache.

>>1722345

lol thats what I thought when I read that.

>>1722356
See, I just can't ignore you. Either you're a REALLY good troll, or a complete idiot.

>>1722354
>people that fall for the trolls or the people
It's hard to tell sometimes. Believe it or not, there are (a lot of) people in /jp/ that are just easily-amused, annoying, and genuinely morons.

>>1722339
I believe that it is a janitor's job to enforce the rules exactly as they are stated and I'm sure the mods would check up on the board every once in a while to make sure he's doing his job. I disagree that all off topic threads need to be deleted and therefore I am against it.

>>1722376

You're tilting at windmills with that whole "OH GOD THEY WANT TO DELETE EVERY THREAD THAT'S EVEN SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC" thing, and the janitor doesn't enforce the rules. He deletes threads that contain one of two things: good discussion (on-topic or not) and loli (on-topic or not, worksafe or not).

JANITOR JUST WIPED OUT A THREAD, MAYBE HE'S GOING TO TACKLE THIS ONE.

That's really curious. Either it was reported silently a lot without my knowing it, or the janitor is just a huge douchebag.

Then again, looks like he deleted another piece of shit thread I was concerned about, so it can't be that bad. Guess this one could go too.

Noting this. Now that my thread about the time has been deleted, the board is moving conspiciously slow.

What is this I don even

Maybe if we keep yelling at the janitor like this about what we do and don't want him to delete he'll start serving us better. Probably not.

>>1722579

It's been a while since I disagreed with a thread deletion, so maybe!

Of course that could just be because good threads are all too rare these days, but still.

Just saw a screencap thread deleted as I was about to make a biting remark. There's hope.

Janitor is also deleting Kana Little Sister threads. I guess visual novels don't belong on /jp/ any more.

>>1722919
That was the one I saw. I assumed the Janitor was a badass and thought "Fuck this image with no text shit, I'm taking this down right now", but I've been wrong before.

>>1722919
Oh, then I'll just go talk about visual novels on /v/ then. Should go down well.

>>1722936
I was testing the waters with Rin earlier today. The person who posted "Akiha?" definitely knew who it was, but nobody else seemed to care.

>>1722919
how do you know it wasn't the OP

>>1722949
Because you're the OP, and you're trying to stir up confusion while whining.

G

I hate when people converse here using words like "this" and "epic" sitting on their own. They're even ruder than usual /jp/, and yet they still get answers to their questions. Sure, if they're off playing some game that distracts them from this board, that's cool, but they're lazy asses who get information and NEVER LEAVE TO PUT IT TO USE. We're almost at the level where a small army of people will sage something bad when it arises (I suppose the improper use of sage is the only way to deal with them when ignoring doesn't work), but it doesn't always happen. Getting there.

>>1724635

This.

>>1724680
You used punctuation and capitalized the first letter. You're okay.
