/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>2689140
GWD is actually a pretty funny guy albeit it with a pretty one dimensional method of trolling (though it's admittedly a good one). I can see why /jp/ would dislike him though as he doesn't take himself too seriously.

>>2688984
Moot also doesn't take himself too seriously. He's also a damn nice guy to keep supporting this shitty website in general. Never forget that moot could wave his epeen about far more than he actually does. If his relative obscurity isn't a sign of at least a little modesty then I don't know what is.

>>2689111
Ex-fucking-zactly. Moral highground hypocrites need to be cut down like the posturing fucks they are.

>>2689042
/r9k/ isn't too bad if you pick the threads that aren't about relationships. The people who do post in relationship threads are also remarkably easy to troll.

>>2689186
You stirred this up all by yourself funnily enough. You post threads about my posts on other boards, think about that for a second. It's ridiculous, it's proof that /jp/ is exactly how I describe it.

>>2689238
Aw, did I really rile you up that much? And if you're who I think you are then anyone who is proud of the fact they sat around for half a decade being a NEET needs a slap. Nothing to be proud of bro. Nothing whatsoever. And I mean that.

>>2689036
This post is pure /jp/.

>>2689208
Touhou is just a smaller fandom with different doujin genres, music genres, etc

>>2689111
The same reason why my friend advocatus is posting with a name and tripcode I guess.

>>2689277,3
Which would be?

>>2689277,4
Posting with a name I guess.

>>2689277,5
That's the ends, not the means.

>>2689277,1
>/r9k/ isn't too bad
Until you denounce this claim I will never take you seriously again.

>>2689277,7
Actually it isn't. I remember once we had a good thread about astro with some guy who was working for NASA. That was ages ago though, mostly I just troll there now.

Huh

How odd.

>>2689277,8
/r9k/ = Ex-/b/

The ONLY reason why it's slightly better than /b/ is because the board's design prevents the users from acting like complete retards. Take away /r9k/'s post limitations and the users would be spamming forced memes and raiding camwhores. I recall making a thread on /r9k/ during its first couple of months and most of the people that posted in said thread claimed they were refugees from /b/. And to further prove that /r9k/ is a board for normalfags and low-level lurkers, my older brother (who's a college frat) actually browses /r9k/.

I cant believe we actually have a ghostbro here that believes /r9k/ is a good board. My faith in the ghost board has reached new lows; you guys truthfully are a gathering of failures....

>>2689277,10
This is what I mean when I refer to /jp/'s neurotic tendencies, just wildly inventing strawmen and missing the point.

>>2689277,10
It's athens.

>>2689277,12
I should have guessed it. His opinion has been rejected.

Maybe if my powerlevel was as low as his I might find a non-otaku board like /r9k/ to be good.

hi

Why did you change your name anyways, athens? That won't make you a better poster.

>>2689277,15
Probably thinks he has a better chance of catching people with his shit tier trolling if they don't realise it's athens.

>>2689277,15
I don't post on /jp/ anymore. I see no problem with changing my name given that I'm posting on the ghost board, it was bindlingly obvious from the outset that it was me anyway you ass licker.

>>2689277,17
you mad?

also
>I don't post on /jp/ anymore.
doubtful considering it's bindlingly obvious you were the OP

>>2689277,18
Haha, oh wow. How can you criticize anyone else and then be reduced to posting shit like this?

>>2689277,19
No, it's not your shitty userbase getting neurotic as usual. It's me.

You really do give me too much credit, you all do.

>>2689277,20
you mad

>No, it's not your shitty userbase getting neurotic as usual. It's me.

that explains why exactly after the thread died it was bumped to the ghost board by you

Accept it, you've gotten old, even as Haruhi1994 I can troll better than you.

>>2689277,21
lol, /jp/ are such bad trolls.

Psst: Trolling doesn't work when you've been attempting to argue with at least the veneer of rationality for the past hour. Enjoy you're clasping at straws.

>>2689277,23
how does it make you feel to not know what a troll is?
stop being mad athens

>>2689277,24
>how does it make you feel to not know what a troll is?
I meant "how does it feel"

Who is this advocatus !U.BlwTPYHg, and why is he posting /b2/ shit here and on /jp/?

>>2689277,26
he's athens

>>2689277,22
Try and fit what you can into one post instead of posting one 'troll' post and one real one. No, I wasn't the OP. If you want to have this circular argument do it another time. If I wanted attention I'd post straight up with my trip.

I also find it funny how many of you post in /a/ despite saying how shit it is all the time. Such fucking hypocrites: 'hurrr if u like touhou u r top tier fan xD'. I can't wait until it goes truly mainstream so you have to find some new niche interest to circle jerk about.

>even as Haruhi1994 I can troll better than you.

Oh come on, lol i trol u? really?

>>2689277,24
>I am a most dexterous troll of considerable, here, let my cite my credentials forthwith. Please pay attention to them. Please?

Cool story bro.

>>2689277,28
I didn't read your post but i'm betting all it says is "I'm mad as heck"

Also, NB the same filename for the OPs image here and on that /a/ thread too. He's been posting that for a while on /a/, a quick check over at the /a/ archive will see that.

>>2689277,31
It doesn't change the fact that you are the OP.

>>2689277,32
http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/a/image/yIrG2tKMVUogKNpyZleOWw==

No. I think deep down you just don't want to admit this board is so bad it would actually make threads about what I'm doing in other boards.

The problem with /jp/ of course is that it really -is- that bad.

>>2689277,33
>I'm mad and I'm trying desperately to prove I'm not the OP.

For fuck sake...
Just- ah, fuck it, I'm going to watch something instead.

>>2689277,34
oh u, how could I be mad? I aced all my exams, have just one to go and E3 starts tomorrow.

Life couldn't be better. How about you Suigin, how is life going?

Oh god, this thread is hilarious, you people really crack me up.

>>2689277,36
High school much?

>>2689277,38
No actually. University, second year. Or don't they take exams at your shitty college?

>>2689277,39
I don't go to a college, I go to a university.

>>2689277,33
One faggot doesn't represent the entire board. The creation of this thread just proves that there is at least one shitposter on /jp/. If you read the replies you would see that most people don't care what you think.

>>2689277,40
Semantics sure are fun. And I'm assuming if you are using the British nomenclature then you're well aware that pretty much all UK based unis have examinations.

>>2689277,42
What's your point, I never implied that universities didn't make exams. You're delusional.

>>2689277,41
Actually I have no hard feelings for /jp/, I hope it does do well. But as long as there are people here who rage and seeth to an extent that would put the hardiest /v/irgin to shame, then there is no real future for this board.

Oh, and this topic racked up a fair few replies you know, a point you seem to be ignoring. Along with the usual elitist... nah I'll use the word snobbish instead, elitism isn't inherently bad; faggots. What surprised me were the fact a few people saw the complete idiocy of actually being -arrogant- about being a devoted touhou fan.

Seems like there are some people with a level head still on /jp/. Kudos to them.

>>2689277,43
You implied that I attended high school because I said I had nearly finished exams.

>>2689277,44
Cont.

I also bet my bottom zimbabwean dollar that the same people with level heads aren't the ones who think it's cool and awesome to be a NEET. Those people are true cancer.

>>2689277,42
I thought Universities and Colleges were quite different.

>>2689277,46
In the context of 4chan I tend to use the two interchangeably because of it's largely american userbase.

Here a college is a preparatory school for university (private 6th form college for example) or just a school that gives out low level qualifications in things. It's usually for 16-18 year olds.

>>2689277,45
>You implied that I attended high school because I said I had nearly finished exams.
No, I just made a stupid guess for a stupid blog post.

>>2689277,46
They are.

>>2689277,36
I got a hot banging girlfriend (she just blew me, shit was SO cash)

>>2689277,47
What are you majoring anyway?

Trolling, obviously.

>>2689277,50
We don't have 'majors' here. We have a number of points we can fill up with modules but it's usually entirely with the course we've picked, so we have less freedom to pick extracurricular courses.

I do Ancient History and Classics. Second year. I plan to be in education for the next 4 years though as I'm taking the CPE following on from this.

Satisfied?

>>2689277,44
So you're upset because /jp/ likes Touhou and you don't. Cool story bro.

>>2689277,52
Just one last thing.
Hard science>*

Ehh, how annoying.
I guess I'll just filter you, Athens. /b/ tripe and a new, ugly-sounding name... you've fallen.

>>2689277,54
I'll enjoy my monies as a barrister thanks. But yeah, I actually agree with you believe it or not. I'm not well disposed towards physics though, even at a good university like mine I've seen a hell of a lot of retards taking it. Chemistry seems to have more genuinely dedicated students.

A research degree in any subject (barring say sociology) imo is the mark of true intelligence and dedication in any event. I've seen people literally driven mad by phds.

>>2689277,56
Weird, in mine, people are driven mad by physics phds and Chemistry gets a lot of retards, not sure about sociology here. Bizarro world.

>>2689277,57
Well over here the Government offers discounts on tuition fees to take physics bachelor's degrees because of a shortage. So that's the probable reason.

Hey advocatus, if you like Ex-/b/ so much why are you lurking /jp/? If you cant comprehend why /jp/ is several times better than /b/, /a/, /v/, and /r9k/ then by all means see your way to the exit. You weren't even on /a/ during its golden years; how can you possibly know how much it has fallen?

This is why we need a powerlevel filter to weed out the lessor otakus.

>>2689277,58
Ohhhhh

>>2689277,55
Share your 'Athens filter' with your fellow ghostbros.

>>2689277,61
Search for the filter I use for !ARC and replace the postertrip with Athens' new one.

I'm not going to read all of this, but I'll assume that athens won't be posting in /jp/ anymore. Greatest news I've heard all day.

>>2689277,61
What's the point? He doesn't really post much here anymore.

>>2689277,64
And with the filter, it's like he isn't posting at all! See the difference?

There's a 4chan filter that lets you filter by name, trip, email, image, etc. I thought everyone knew about it by now.

Actually. I made the decision to stop posting on /jp/ a couple of days ago after a phone conversation with an IRL friend. Nothing particularly melodramatic, more along the lines of

Him: You know, no offence but you really waste a lot of time on there [/jp/]. It's not worth it.

Me: Yeah you're right. Might as well pick a time sink I actually enjoy.

Thus it was I decided to stop posting here and thinking about it he is -absolutely right- you know. I've wasted way too much time on here, at least during my first year when I was on /v/ a lot it was light hearted and fun.

Nothing good can come of this place. It's a black hole for otherwise productive activity and a self-fulfilling prophecy at the same time.

>>2689277,66
Are you talking about this:

Last time I checked it doesn't work on the ghost board's internal post.

I'm doing this for advocatus's own good. In this thread he has done an impressive job trying to diffuse the anger of the people that hate his guts. I guess there are some people that just cant take it easy next to him.

>>2689277,68
I find it funny how you think you have ownership of those words 'take it easy'. As I've said before, even /v/ is more easy going than /jp/. That's not hyperbole either, it's the damn truth.

>>2689277,69
And? I don't really see the point, is jp too serious business for you athens? Only /v/ can meet your lax needs? Cool bro. Go have fun there.

>>2689277,70
I am on /v/ right now though.

>>2689277,67
>It's a black hole for otherwise productive activity and a self-fulfilling prophecy at the same time.

sure let's blame all of our problems on the internet!

it's not my fault that i'm an unproductive moron with no talents! it's /jp/'s fault!!

>>2689277,71
Right. A troll always goes back to trolling. Whether it be the ghost boards, /jp/, or any other board. You'll come back with another troll.

>>2689277,72
I'm not unproductive. I just could be a lot more productive. There's never been much motivation because I jump hurdles with little effort.

>>2689277,73
I'm not trolling you faggot, I'm in a thread discussing what we are looking forward to this coming E3. Go and take your ritalin and chill.

And I swear over my life, and screencap it and parade it around if I break this, but I'll never post on /jp/ again. Ever. Do you understand? I mean that.

If you're going to stop coming to /jp/ stop coming to the ghostboard as well.

>>2689277,76
Then stop making threads about what I'm doing on other boards.

>>2689277,75
I'm sorry but I don't get it. You say you aren't going to troll around on /jp/ any more, yet here you are trolling the /jp/ ghost board about how awesome it is to talk to your /v/ buddies about e3.

>>2689277,78
Wait, what? How am I trolling the ghost board?

You said I was on /v/ to troll, I simply informed you I was there to discuss E3 with other /v/irgins.

Hahaha, thinking about this in context makes me laugh, it's so ridiculous. Just stop, seriously. I've promised that I won't post on /jp/ ever again and I'm a man of my word so I intend to keep that promise.

>>2689277,79
What I meant was that you would come back to troll /jp/, not that you'd be trolling /v/.

>>2689277,80
Well I give you my word I won't be disturbing you guys anymore.

I'm also pretty sure that it won't really mean much in the long run. There are simply too many trigger-happy sagers and shitstormers who dislike the other topical elements on this board to think that.

>>2689277,69
Enjoy your console war faggotry and blatant fanboyism. I find it funny that you of all people would have the audacity to accuse /jp/ers of being more rage induced than the /v/irgins. /v/ is the board where most of the 'rage' reaction images spawned from. And I would be surprised if it wasn't a /v/irgin that first coined the phrase 'rage' on 4chan. Want to know why we rarely discuss Touhou on /v/. It's because the /v/irgins weren't tolerant of Touhou's otaku nature. Apparently it was too high level for them to handle. I guess if it's not a part of the big 3 (playstation, nintendo, or Xbox), the /v/irgins don't want to hear about it. Did you ever once think to yourself why we used to discuss Touhou on /a/ instead of /v/ where it technically belonged?

>As I've said before, even /v/ is more easy going than /jp/. That's not hyperbole either, it's the damn truth.
I want you to reject and denounce that claim otherwise I'm going to have to educate you with the facts. You've been warned... I just realized I'm posting in an athens troll thread. 80+ replies just because of something he said. Not bad athens... not bad at all.

Athens doesn't care about VNs or anything /jp/ related to begin with. It baffles me why he posted there in the first place.

>>2689277,82
Rage reaction images are just an example of /v/irgin creativity.

Touhou was disliked on both /a/ and /v/ because of Touhou hijacks and because as is evident from /jp/ you guys have to make a new thread for the slightest tangental offshoot. Not because it was too 'high level' for them. Lets not forget these are people that think God Hand was amazing and that its shitty controls were actually a benefit here. /v/ loev unpopular things.

>>2689277,84
Something is off with your trolling today. I just cant place my finger on it.

This new identity of yours must be giving you bad luck.

>>2689277,84
So the touhou board makes a lot of touhou threads? Seriously, is this what you're trying to say?

>>2689277,86
Well it's the Japan/General board. Not the Touhou board. And even if we were to take the defacto rather than dejure approach then /jp/ is not just Touhou but for a variety of otaku things.

>154 replies omitted. Click Reply to view.
.....

>>2689277,83
>It baffles me why he posted there in the first place.
I second this question. What did you ever see in an otaku board like /jp/. Did you think it was going to be /b/-Ex or something?

We need to put a banner on /jp/ that says "Your powerlevel has to be THIS^ high to browse."

>>2689277,87
Even still, the board was created for Touhou, VNs, etc. To complain about a lot of Touhou threads seems silly.

>>2689277,88
I know people who like Touhou who have barely seen 20 series. I don't know where this mutual inclusivity came from but it doesn't make any sense.

A far better measurement would be how many VNs you've played, as people who have played a lot of VNs seem to have seen a lot of anime far moreso than people who like touhou.

Regardless, my taste in all things is pretty good.

>>2689277,90
Do you need to watch a lot of anime to browse /jp/? /jp/ isn't /a/ yet I'd wager most of /jp/ has seen more series than /a/ has.

>>2689277,91
It doesn't make much sense to see little anime and then move on to VNs to be brutally honest with you. It's possible but it isn't organic.

>>2689277,90
>Regardless, my taste in all things is pretty good.
HAHA, OH WOW.

>>2689277,92
Why does one have to move on to VNs exactly?

>>2689277,94
I never said that.

>>2689277,93
It is actually. In films, books, anime, music, art, architecture. Especially architecture, a huge favourite of mine. Also films. I submit to authority as far as anime goes as I've only seen 50-60 series though.

>>2689277,95
Don't you think it's a little biased to say your own taste is pretty good?

>>2689277,88
It was fertile soil for his "women can't be ronery" trolling.

>>2689277,90
>I know people who like Touhou who have barely seen 20 series.
Remember how earlier I said >>2689277,10 "my older brother (who's a college frat) actually browses /r9k/."

He's probably the only person I know that has seen as much anime as me - and he has a girlfriend. Anime is a pretty good scale for measuring one's powerlevel, but it's not the be all end all. Also, you dare to bring up VNs. I bet I could count up the amount of VNs you've downloaded on my hands. Let's hear how much VNs you've read. This should be funny.

>>2689277,96
Not really. I'll agree that at a certain level things become rather subjective. But in a broad sense things can be seen objectively. For example La Dolce Vita is clearly an amazing film, is it the greatest romance film ever though when compared with say, Cinema Paradiso or It's a Wonderful Life?

Tough to say. They're all such amazing films.

I will say this though. Il Divo is the best damn biopic ever made. Ever.

>>2689277,98
FSN
Planetarian
Ever17
Chaos;Head
Bit of Tsukihime

I never once made pretense to knowing a lot about VNs. I'll defer to authority in that case. I'm not arrogant about things I know nothing about.

>>2689277,99

your youth is showing again, Athens.

>>2689277,101
How exactly?

>It is actually. In films, books, anime, music, art, architecture.
Yeah, but we don't care about stuff like that. This is an otaku board after all.

>>2689277,103
I know in the context of /jp/ you don't care about it, but don't speak for everyone. I'm sure there are people who do care about it.

>>2689277,100
>I know people who like Touhou who have barely seen 20 series. I don't know where this mutual inclusivity came from but it doesn't make any sense.

>A far better measurement would be how many VNs you've played, as people who have played a lot of VNs seem to have seen a lot of anime far moreso than people who like touhou.

Wait, then by your own definitions you would have a low powerlevel. You've only read 5 VNs and you've only watched 60 anime. That's pretty weak bro.... It's no wonder why you like /r9k/.

>>2689277,105
Which is why I still don't understand what made athens come to /jp/ in the first place.

>>2689277,105
I don't have a particularly large power level. I don't know where I've ever claimed to though. I'll defer to a fellow student/employed bro who knows more on these matters every time. But I'm not going to take shit like >>2689238 from people who don't do anything else with their lives.

Isn't spending your time on the /jp/ ghost board a little counter intuitive? Athens, just go cold turkey already.

>>2689277,108
I'm playing video games and I have gamefaqs open so it's fine.

>>2689277,107
You're killing me athens. Least you aren't my least liked tripfriend.

>>2689277,107
>from people who don't do anything else with their lives.
Yeah, because the internet is a dick waving contest over who has the most successful life.

>>2689277,111
Which in and of its self is completely subjective.

>>2689277,111
It shouldn't be a dick waving contest in anything, but when the principle is broken anything becomes fair game. That's a pretty universally constant right there.

>>2689277,107
You spent most of your short career on /r9k/ trolling 'normalfags' yet you insult us for not being normalfags? Some people claim you're the one that coined the phrase 'normalfag'.

Also, hypocrite much? Just look at yourself, you're sitting alone in your room at night playing video games while having a chat on a ghost board of /jp/. I don't know about eastern standards but this is pretty (high tier) otaku behavior for a westerner.

>>2689277,114
Normalfag is a stupid fucking term and I regret using it. It's become so utterly subjective as to lose all meaning, I originally meant it to mean people who dickwave on the internet about such things as getting laid.

There is nothing inherently normalfag-ish about being a good student. Judging by some of the threads I've seen on /jp/, there are plenty of high tier students doing serious studies here.

>>2689277,109

When did the ghost board become your /b/log? What's the matter, /jp/ers are no longer falling for your repetitive troll-fu. Are we the only people you know on the Internet that will give you attention?

>>2689277,116
Right you are, I'm off. For good.

To those of you who browse other boards, catch you around.

>>2689277,117
See you later, space cowboy.

This >>2689277,116 post wasn't only directed towards athens. It was also directed towards me and the rest of the ghostbros that were actually pathetic enough to respond to him.

>Always judging a post not on what it says, but on the person who posted and their past experiences with him/her.

This has to stop, we are better than this. If you don't like a user filter/ignore them. Under no circumstances should you ever mention their names.

>>2688949
athens talking shit about /jp/ from the saftey of /a/? His inherent sneakiness and untrustworthiness shows itself yet again.

but he'll be back. his entire online existence is based on trolling. he did the Stormfront crap at first, and then he moved on to the women ronery bullshit. After those methods became tired he was out of options for trolling in /jp/, since he knows nothing about the things people talk about in here. Athens would only embarass himself whenever he talked about games, VNs, or anime in here

but he'll figure out something new eventually, and then he will be back. see you then, athens.

>>2689277,120
Since Athens has left I'm going to have to tell you to fuck off. I hate Athens as much as the next guy but insulting a man while he's gone is lower than low.

>>2689277,121
Hi there, athens.

>>2689277,122
I'm
>>2689277,116

>>2689277,124
Sup athens.
