/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Whatever.

So how is life with your 3d girlfriend?

It's not as bad as on /a/.

I DO~ ^_^

hey brah u going to the kegger

>>4836186
LOL!
>Implying you can have a non 3D girlfriend!
XDDDD!!1!!1!

In this thread, self fulfilling prophecy.

Yeah, it's terrible. If only there was some way to filter them and create a shut-in paradise.

Don't think that way. Once you get into a siege mentality you start lashing out against your brethren. It's a us vs. them where you drag anything and anyone into the sketchy 'Them"

That last South Park episode about Facebook has me more worried that the entire world is being taken over by dipshits.

It's a sad day when the people in South Park act more intelligent than the people they're parodying.

we just have to find another home, I think...

>>4836182

Occasionally, but only when gigantic faggots make posts that are clearly counter to our core values. Also, you'll have to define normal. If by normal you mean different from the original split user-base, then I would have to agree. We've taken on all kinds of users from other boards and sites post split, and a good majority of them are trash. A few gems though.

What would you have us do Anonymous?

Why the tissues?

>>4836206

Remember when South Park use to be good?

>>4836232
was never good

>>4836232

Nope.

>normalfags?
Not exactly. That is, the problem I'm seeing are just bad posters in general (e.g. people who type like Suigin, wannabe trolls, retards, multiple-board posters, etc.) taking over /jp/.

>>4836232
Yeah, when I was 12.

>>4836266
I see people who post inane comments and then try to piss people off for no reason and more /a/ faggots.

>>4836281

But it first aired in 1997.... You were 12 in 1997?

Maybe that's what's wrong with this board.

>>4836297
What's wrong with being 25?
I'm 22 in a couple of months and there are far older people here than I, the problem is 16 year olds who think /jp/ is their little play ground.

>>4836307

I guess that's fair. I usually automatically blame the stupidity on the under 25 bracket though.

>>4836347
I think I may have misinterpreted your post...
But whatever, the point remains the same.

I have a real girlfriend
I have a real job(that I enjoy)
I have real life friends

I'm sorry /jp/, I'll go back where I belong...

>>4836232
The only good SP episode was Russel Crowe's Fightan' Around the World.

The rest are shit, and the recent episodes are even worse than shit.

>>4836542
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, normalfag.

Well, I just started to visit /jp/ way less than before. It's sad, really.

/jp/ is being taken over by people who don't take it easy, secondaryfriends and VN newfriends from /a/ and /v/. Oh can't forget shitty metathreads too, such as this one.

>>4836542
Job that you enjoy? What do you do?

This entire site is being taken over by normalfags. I consider this the last bastion of this site, and it's quickly fallling.

It's quite sad to see /jp/ dying. Secondaryfags, normalfags, and spam are becoming more and more common around here.

Let's go to the dog forum and post cats! I'm so original!

No, it's actually been getting more on-topic and is frequently now actually usable to discuss VN's, touhou, translation efforts, etc.

Take your retarded codependency shit elsewhere. We even have a board for various shit on the same level as this dysfunctional basement emo crap now >>>/adv/ so use it.

>>4836646
>frequently now actually usable to discuss touhou
PORN
SLUT
BOOBS
MEME

Fuck you /v/

>>4836663
You want emo aspie shit, go back to "wrongplanet" or whatever that was.
You want to have creepy discussions about pedo shit, use pedotalk (and hopefully get busted with the rest.)

Touhou is actually on-topic here, your crap isn't.

>>4836646
U WAKE P IN GENSYOKO WHAT DO U DO
WELL IN MY KAIS ID GO TO THE SDM AND FUCK EVERY SINGLE LIVING THING IN IT AND HOPE I LEARN MAGIC

>>4836700

>>4836646
There seems to be less variety in VN discussions compared to over a year ago. I guess it's true that instead of just talking about F/SN and Tsukihime people now talk about F/SN, Tsukihime, and Umineko, but lesser known VNs receive even less attention than before.

We could always go to bunbunmaru. Wasn't the purpose of that site to be a place we can go to when /jp/ is no longer tolerable because of the shitposters?

>>4836598
>>4836582
It all worsend with the name change.

>>4836707
just wait until i find my u mad macros youre gonna get so owned....

>>4836266
>>4836700
um, yeah, well that example isn't exactly "normal"/"neurotypical" is it?

>>4836598
What the shit are secondaryfags?

Its ok, my OnHR (OnaHole Ratio) statistical analysis is still ongoing.

Using the archive, I've examined many onahole threads collecting data on the typical posts. I'm still working out the exact classifications, but my theory is that the ratio of Pro Onahole Posts to Anti Onahole posts will decline over time.

In a few months I should have a nice graph for release.

>>4836710
I'd say the amount of VN threads being made is roughly the same, but /jp/ is much faster now. Unless it's a Rance thread with half of /v/'s userbase posting in it, it will eventually be bumped off the board. I was used to posting in long-running VN threads, that would be there even after I went to sleep/school. Now more often than not, the thread will be gone, or has been kept off the front page long enough for discussion to be frozen. I don't feel like posting my own threads, or bumping something that seems really old/dead, so I tend to give up.

>>4836747
People who like the fanworks but who don't actually play the games or anything.

>>4836772
You mean you're cooking data to sell the idea that /jp/ is a demographic to heavily viral-market male adult novelties to. Because you already spend your time here. Go use the pedotalk dragnet instead, you deserve it.

>>4836777
Why not just call them 'fags'?

The last thing we need here is more shitty [insert]fag spouting here.

>>4836777
I love how /jp/ thinks that actually matters. Playing the games doesn't make a faggot any less likely to post WHOS UR TOHOO WAIFU than people who only enjoy the secondary content. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion 'secondaryfags' are the ones that post the more creative threads/are more involved in translating fanmade content.

>>4836806
Oh no, you figured out my master plan!

I only see 2 threads on my page 0 so I think it's safe to say that it's more a reality than a feeling.

>>4836559
Having a job is okay.It's better than sitting on your ass all day posting when you can make money and pay bills,buying things you want.

The recent influx of retards has made me lower my /jp/ time to about an hour a day.

I am now able to actually watch anime and play games in exchange for almost complete isolation from human contact.

I think the problem is that fag keeps sending /b/ over here to raid us and some of them end up sticking around and polluting the userbase.

I would say ~30% of the userbase these days came from /b/.

>>4836831
What's with all that "you know who" spam, anyway? Does somebody post a thread on /b/ telling them to do that or something? Why would they listen?

>>4836858
That lunatic KoG is the one who does it. He starts it when he wants to speed up the board for one of his stupid "gets" or when he's buttmad about losing in mahjong.

>>4836858
Yes. As for the second question, it's more of a problem with society and children as a whole.

Everyone under 21 has ADHD these days.

I may not be the captain of this ship, but I intend to go down with it. I, for one, am prepared for my watery, piss-filled grave.

>>4836711
We already evacuated our women and children to /bun/ a long time ago. Men who flee /jp/ will be branded as cowards anyways.

>>4836858
It's an internet personality cult. You have to ask?
The kind of kids who go there just do whatever their peers say is cool or that the computer tells them to, like trained dogs. That's why they're on /b/ in the first place.

>>4836883
I wish moot would post his IP so somebody could track him down and bash his skull in.

It's the only way to stop someone with a dynamic IP.

>>4836883
Really? I thought he got bored of that a while ago. I guess some people don't ever grow out of being a faggot.

>>4836892
I dont like how /a/ threads are dominant over at /bun/

>>4836908
>derp
--- >>>/b/

>>4836908
Or he could just range ban the whole IP. It would be a noble sacrifice by all other anons in the area.

>>4836908
>>4836924
Won't happen, KoG has an "in" with at least one mod.

If you feel like posting one or more of the following, you're better off not making the post at all:

>reported
>go back to /*/
>u mad?

>>4836924
He would just use proxies.

He already got all the entire network of Opera Turbo proxies banned.

The only problem I notice with /jp/ is the Touhou fags. They wouldn't even be bad if they condensed their fucking threads.

>>4836291
IT'S CALLED TROLLING

>>4836962
Shut up gaijin

>>4836944
>Don't feed the trolls.
They're here anyway. Voicing disapproval is one of the few things people can do to keep folks who insist this is a non-topic board or the j-list board or something from convincing people that their shit belongs here. The janitor errs on the safe side (which is actually a good policy, I'm not saying it isn't.)

I feel sad.

Look at how many people that don't even capitalize their sentences or end them with punctuations anymore.
Look at how many people now think that sage is an insult.
Look at the amount of one word replies like 'FFFFFUUU-', 'sauce?', 'wut' and other similar words.

We are being overtaken.
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

>>4837144
>Look at how many people now think that sage is an insult.
This one still burns me. I can't stand it.

I'm a normalfag

And I've been here since the beginning.

>>4837150
Why? Sage has been considered disrespectful on 4chan pretty much from the beginning. Yeah, it isn't like that on 2ch, but this isn't 2ch.

>>4837207
Only by idiots.
You also have not been here since the beginning. Likely nobody here has, but definitely not you, so don't talk like you know.

oh i think there's enough fucking threads about what kind of onahole you stick in your dakimakura to fuck while trapping to count /jp/ out as being lost to the normalfags.

come to think of it i think we could do with a little less of that shit.

>>4837207
/jp/ has never considered sage an insult, the fact that that stupidity is spreading here is evidence of /jp/s downfall.

>>4837236
Codependency-anon detected.

>>4837207
Some of the fags on /jp/ think that knowing sage isn't meant to be rude somehow makes them intelligent.

Everyone outside of /b/ knows it's purpose, and anyone with a triple digit IQ knows it has a negative connotation regardless of its actual purpose.

Sage IS an insult here, this isn't 2ch. Get over it.

Where am I supposed to go when /jp/ turns to complete shit? 2ch? Futaba? Don't they have twice the amount of normalfags and trolls that we have?

I don't know where to take refuge.

>>4837271
I guess /bun/ (because most people there came from and still lurk /jp/), but its lack of traffic makes it not a true substitute.

>>4837271
http://bunbunmaru.com/wakaba/

>>4837262
>Sage IS an insult here
No it's not. Maybe on other boards, but /jp/ doesn't view it as an insult. Different boards have different cultures. Get over it.

>>4837294
Do not feed the troll.

>>4837262
It does make me intelligent, and it makes you a newfag. Now quit trying to defend yourself when you're fucking wrong. There's no reason to bump a thread with every post, the boards have 15 fucking pages now.

I blame April Fools for the sudden drop in quality.

>I may not be the captain of this ship, but I intend to go down with it. I, for one, am prepared for my watery, piss-filled grave.
It is our duty to see the last moments of /jp/, the ones who were here when it was first created, who were on /a/ for a long time and still are here. It is our duty and an honor to see the last moment of /jp/, the last place that held out the longest against the reigning faggotry that took control over 4chan.

4chan is nothing but normalfags nowadays.

>>4837516

To be honest I'm surprised there's even people from the pre-split who still visit. Most faggots these days don't even know about the days of old where threads on /a/ would still be alive when you woke up after a 12 hour sleep and when it was completely bombed with shit like AoRF's Touhou Hijacking and ghost bumping faggotry, Anonymous begging for pictures of Viggiatore's daughter dressed up as Vita etc... Good times but I doubt we'll survive another 'newfag summer'.

>>4837581
It's not like i am always here. I usually come here every few months for a month or so, it's just reassuring that /jp/ is always there and that there are people like me here with whom i can discuss /jp/ related things. Only place that i like anyway, so yeah.

>>4837581
I'm not sure why that would surprise you at all.

It's not a feeling, it's a fact.

This is why we have sites like

http://bunbunmaru.com/wakaba/general/
and
http://tohno-chan.com/

I'm a relatively normal guy, I hold down some jobs, I have an apartment, I have a cat, I socialize just fine. I was even in a band a year or two ago who went on tour.

I also fucking love Touhou and videogames and other nerd hobbies. The problem isn't necessarily being "normal" it's "being a shitty poster".

I've ditched /jp/ almost completely for /tg/ at this point. They have more Touhou and VN related threads than /jp/ does on a daily basis.

>>4837639
You are not one of us. Your post screams normalfag.

You now realize that the way you feel about normalfags is parallel to what the Japanese think about gaijinfags.

>>4837663
How does Japan fight off the same problems that we have?
Do they get overrun by normalfags and faggotry too? Or are the posters behaving like old /jp/ used to?

>>4837652

If by "screams normalfag" you mean it literally says it, you're right.

And it's this kind of stupid infighting that causes dipshit meta threads like this and clutters up the board for no reason at all.

This is the ultimate irony.

>>4837685
There's nothing wrong with metathreads. It's not like the board is fast enough for this to kill any thread anyone still cares about.

>>4837639

The problem isn't being a "normalfag", it's bringing it with you to /jp/. It's along the same lines as mentioning that you're female for no particular reason - it's unnecessary and will only cause a shitstorm.

>>4837740

That's the point exactly, thank you.

4chan, circa 2003: Mostly skilled users, some coming from SA even, that just wanted to act like assholes - in other words, to have fun, as in a party. They were capable of bank-cracking, programming, knew other languages, which allowed them to actually lurk more instead of making 4chan their own private user-assisted search engine.
A year or two later, half of those still resided in 4chan, but the newfaggotry was more notorious. Media exposure doomed 4chan, and yes, fuck your shit, but treating 4chan as The Fight Club was in fact what kept it awesome.
4chan, 2010: Food for thought: Do a search in any page 0 of ANY board for the phrase "Lurk moar".
Sad, isn't it?

>>4837752
If you agree with that then why did you say you're normal? That's straight hypocrisy right there. Don't mention it and no one's going to care.

>/jp/
>normal
>NORMAL

HA HA. you haven't seen normal.

/jp/ was never good.

>>4837760

Point. Example. Proof.

Head.

>>4837754
In other words, and as stated previously ITT:
Newfaggotry fucks the board up. Oldfags refuse to stay.
The board mutates.

>>4837781
It is only natural that the oldfags leave. They find something else, get a life or married, kids. Whatever you can think of.
Life moves on, things change and so on.

Just sucks for us people who have nothing else because we refuse to live in that world out there.

>>4837740

I guess the flipside to this is that /jp/ tends to have a pretty ridiculous definition of normal. I agree that it would be best if it wasn't mentioned in the first place, but flipping the fuck out because someone mentions they have a job or something is a bit over the top.

>>4837798
Unfortunately, specially for /jp/, the fact that few actually move their asses hinders progress in content production.
Whether it's an etiquette or not to pretend, or actually be, a NEET/hikki here, one thing remains true: There is very little original content and/or lurkers that can bring it to us, regardless on whether /jp/ is actually filled with NEETs or with pretending normalfags, the status is the same..

I work nightshifts for ambulance dispatch.

Am i too good for you now, /jp/?

>>4837811
I admit, however, I have only contributed with said content only thrice. Case in point.

>>4836182

used to be a big f/a/g around 07, it was alright until i think it gets to a point where its nothing how it was the first time you came there

i think /jp/ is still pretty far from that point, so until it does im not gonna bitch about anything

/a/: . . . You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Normalfags, not join them! It was you who would bring balance to the Faggotry, not leave it in Darkness!

*/a/ picks up /jp/'s IOSYS album and begins to walk away. He stops and looks back.*

/jp/: I hate you!

/a/: You were my brother, /jp/. I loved you.

*/a/ turns his back and tearfully leaves /jp/ to die.*

>>4837811
Without support, no original content would thrive. However /jp/ is too busy whining, being cynic, trolling and hating. Without some tolerance toward e-blowjob no artists, musician or writer would stay.

>>4836206

What episode is this?

How long till people are considered oldfags anyway? I started out with /a/ in the summer of 2006 and been on /jp/ since day one.

>>4837803
I would say the majority of /jp/, or at least a large minority, have jobs or are in college anyways (we're still losers of course). It's only a vocal minority who freak out, most of whom are probably just trolling.

>>4837869
The one that sucked the most. 3

>>4837847
This is how /a/ actually thinks it went down.

>>4837875
You must have been on 4chan on day 1 when /a/ was /b/ to be an oldfag. Everyone else is a newfag.

>>4837876
>It's only a vocal minority who freak out, most of whom are probably just trolling.
That's been the gag since day one.

>>4837854
I am more inclined to read Touhou fic on here than on dA. That shit promptly gets moved off my notifications
Mainly because the ones that post here know just how much scrutiny they fall under.

There IS good stuff that gets posted from time to time, but you are right. It doesn't get appreciated enough.

>>4837811
>There is very little original content and/or lurkers that can bring it to us
Sorry, Assassin's Creed took up all the free time I've had. Otherwise I'd have a mountain of [P]illows to sell over the internets by now.
Here's to hoping I can make it to FAnime

>>4837294
>All who say that sage is an insult on /jp/ are either trolls or need to lurk more.

>>4837835
>f/a/g

It sort of pains me to see that no one remembers that we were always referred to as "/a/ssholes" back then. But that's unimportant shit.

Fact of the matter is, the kids who cried to moot for the split are the ones who doomed /a/ (and perhaps /jp/) in the first place. There wasn't any need for something as drastic as that to happen.

To all those who were around for these years and have made /jp/ what it was.

Thank you.

It was the only place I've been looking forward to return to every day.

>>4838004
The split is the best thing that could have happened for us. We managed to narrowly avoid all the bullshit that came from Code Geass/Toradora/etc. That board is so bad it's ridiculous. At least here people understand the sage function.

>>4838004
It wasn't f/a/gs or /a/ssholes.

I don't even remember what it was, actually. Something along the line of /a/spies IIRC.

>>4838004
Pretty much.
moot just needed to ban image spammers, but he'd need to actually hire mods for that.
So instead he made this board and threw us in here.

>>4838029
All that bullshit could have been avoided if they had mods to cut down on spam. And we'd still be in there creating diverse threads, instead of letting the board get overtaken by single topics.

I can't believe people think /jp/ is better than /a/.

Sure, the userbase is infinitely better, but that doesn't mean shit when there's a complete and utter lack of content. It's nothing but daily Touhou spam, beaten-horse discussions of old VNs, tripfag circlejerks, and the occasional news headline about Nipon that nobody gives a shit about. Ad don't even get me started on the fig threads.

>>4838004
Fuck your TEAR DOWN THIS WALL bullshit.

>>4838039

So go back there now.

>>4838042
No one's saying TEAR DOWN THIS WALL. It's far too late for that. Would have been better if the wall had never been up in the first place.

>>4838037
Haha, oh wow. You actually think mods would have helped? Maybe if moot hired 300 who browsed 24/7. There was so much spam it was crazy. It also didn't help that there was a general idea that you had to bump every post or you're a dick. Shitty threads always stayed at the top. /a/ users were not salvageable.

honestly, It's pretty pathethic how all you losers get so worked up over some inane and worthless board like /jp/

>>4838048
I would but I don't feel like wading through the shit to find a readable thread right now.

Plus, I'm trying to study for my particle physics test that's in.... 4 hours.

>>4838060
>honestly, it's pretty pathetic how all you losers get so worked up over inane and worthless boards

>>4838061
Then you're clearly admitting /jp/ is a better board to browse.

>>4838057
Even 2 NEET mods would have made all the difference. People wouldn't spam if they'd know they'd get banned. And even the ones with proxies would get their shit deleted.

>>4838060
We know, but it's all we have.
Pity us, but do so silently.
And if you despise us so, leave.

>>4838073
I'm admitting that this single thread that I happened to stumble upon is better than anything else I'll find on this shitty board.

If I looked on /a/ I'm sure I would find something better, but it's a heavy time investment.

>>4838029
The Geass and Toradora bullshit wouldn't exist in the first place had the split not happened. Remember Lucky Star vs Gurren Lagann? That was some of the biggest show drama the board ever had, and yet we still managed to drown it out with other threads and, most important of all, original content. You can't deny that everyone was creative as fuck back then; think back to all the hilarious threads we had because of people's creativity, and the great projects people gathered together to work on.

>>4838090
>great projects

Sorry what

>>4838102
Remember the /a/lbum? We had people dedicated to artwork, and everyone helped out in picking which songs best represented each album. Of course, the project died out for reasons that I don't remember, but the sheer effort that went into organising each album showed that we could produce great shit when we worked well together.

>>4838090
>and yet we still managed to drown it out with other threads
No you didn't and that shit settled your fate as another Random board.
>original content.
HAHAHA, OH WOW.

>>4838121
And then ks happened. Some ideas deserve to never see the light of day.

>>4838090
I remember all the Death Note OC.
Fun times.

Although it was just as much spam back then for those who didn't like the series.

In the end I stopped going there because I had lost all interest in the currently-spammed anime (unlike Death Note, Gurren Lagann, etc. previously).

>>4838084
>shittymetathread
>bestthread
What? Weren't you complaining about content? What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>4838122
Honestly, you're not fooling anyone here.

I think it would have been best if /a/ and /jp/ were never split.

/a/ is far too fast. Even if it was a great board with a great userbase I still wouldn't go there because it moves too fast. I'm glad the split happened.

>>4838146
You realise that before the split, you could post in a thread, go to sleep for 12 hours, come back, and said thread would still be there?

>>4838146
Just wait a couple more months. At the rate /jp/ is speeding up now, you can expect another /a/.

>>4838146
Once upon a time /a/ was almost as slow as /jp/, then, gai/a/ flood and newfags galore, and after the split there was another wave.

You know what would've worked better than the split?

Banning anybody who mentioned TTGL.

You're underage and/or an idiot if you liked that shitty series. I finally gave up on /a/ when I was consistently called a troll for pointing out what a pile of shit it was.

>>4838235
The same could be said of Haruhi, Lucky Star, and every other seasonal fad anime.

The board only really went to shit once people stopped discouraging the shounen trinity.

Why are there still two blatant troll threads on the front page?

>>4838235
It was fun to watch while it was airing, I don't know why you'd take up arms against the show itself.

I agree the spam was excessive though.
I didn't visit /a/ for quite a bit while it was airing.

>>4838240
Because you are not reporting hard enough and instead decide to honor them with replies.

>>4838245
Code Geass R2 spam was far worse than anything TTGL ever offerred.
TTGL spam was nightly and timed to BSS's releases, went on for a few days, and simmered down to a few threads every hour.
Code geass R2 was the entire front page for the entire duration of it's airing, and a few weeks beyond.

>>4838255
I know, like I said, that's around when I stopped going entirely.

>>4838257
I can't blame you.
Immediately after that, we got daily 24/7 shounen trinity threads being constantly created.
It's like everyone just gave up on making a decent board all at once.

>>4838265
I was there when the sudden flood of trinity threads started, but I never understood why. What exactly happened? Did we have a flood of gaia?

>>4838276
Everyone who gave a shit about the board left during CGR2 spam.
CGR2 spam also attracted a portion of the gaia community.

>>4838245
No. Just... no.

The show was clearly directed at kids and /a/ ate it up. It was the equivalent of Japanese adults going wild over Code Name: Kids Next Door. Unless, of course, you're willing to admit that /a/ was full of underage dipshits at the time who actually fit the target demographic of TTGL. Which was, in fact, the case.

tl;dr TTGL is shit and you're an underage retard for liking it

>>4838294
Like I said, you're making a huge fuss over nothing. The show was stupid, cliched, over-the-top and a perfect way to waste some time.
I never felt the need to discuss any of it on /a/, or to rewatch it.
But I won't lie, I enjoyed watching it.

>>4838294
Not him, but speaking of age, what age do you guys expect/want to be the average age of posters? I was told to get out the last time someone saw that I was born in 1990...

>>4838294

Did TTGL rape your mother or something, bro?

And it was meant to have broad appeal, hence all nip art festivals it showed up at.

>>4838311
At this point I'd settle for 18+, really.
Most of us are in our mid-twenties, I think. Or used to be.

Born in 1993. Is that bad?

>>4838294
Some anime for kids is good.

>>4838294
>The show was clearly directed at kids and /a/ ate it up.
So is Kamen Rider. /m/ eats that up.

It was a simple super robot series with lots of homages to the genre. Some people enjoy it, even if it was somewhat shallow once you got over the 'over the topness at all times' gimmick.

I'm no huge fan of the series, but it was by no means terrible by any standards.
You're just raging at a shitty fanbase.

>>4838325
Yeah, you're throwing your life away. Best get out while you can.

>>4838294

>>4838325
Yes, you're legally not allowed to be on this site. Get out.

>>4838344
Remember when people would get public bans for admitting they were underaged? Good times.

I enjoyed TTGL for what it was: powerlevels garbage. Just because I enjoy a warm beer every once in a while doesn't mean I'm incapable of appreciating a fine wine. Maybe if you guys pulled the stick out of your asses every once in a while you might actually enjoy something.

>>4838344
Because we all started fapping to porn legally at 18.

>>4838356
No one did. moot started the site at age 14 or so?
However, most of us were smart enough to not tell everyone we were underaged.

>>4838356
What does porn have to do with this? The site's rules say you're not allowed to visit unless you're 18. This includes worksafe boards.

Newfag 25 year old or an 18 year old who's been here since 4-5 years ago?

>>4838369
The latter is better, if that's what you're asking.

>>4838369
Whether you're old or new doesn't matter, neither does your age in the end. Being a fucktard does.
The problem is that there is a tendency for new and young people to be fucktards.
The age limit is more of a quality control tool than a legal tool.

>I was told to get out the last time someone saw that I was born in 1990...

If you're the one who posted his passport, that was me.

1988-89 is ideal to me. Anyone born after that is part of the new generation of kids who grew up in the era of shitty television and got sucked into the Facebook crap.

>>4838398
There is no difference between 89 and 90, jesus fuck

>>4838348

Exactly. It's fair enough that people get annoyed about constant spamming of a show or people who have no idea what they're on about but the whole "show X sucks and you're a retard if you think otherwise" is annoying. We used to be able to talk about stuff (relatively) reasonably whereas we now just mostly fling shit at each other.

As long as you're not a Macfag you're fine by me.

It's a filter that has served me well for years upon years.

There is no difference between 91 and 92

There is no difference between 93 and 94

By your logic, there is no difference between 1988 and 2005.

Feels bad knowing moot is younger than me.

>>4838419
Oh boy, a deliberate misreading. Thanks for the helpful post guy.

>>4838398
>1988-89 is ideal to me.
You still grew up in the 90s whether you want to accept it or not. One or two years doesn't make a difference at all because you could barely wipe your ass at that time yet. You never experienced the 80s. You grew up with the shitty generation you so claim to hate, thinking you're not a part of it because of a one year difference.

>>4838419

You're just trying to be obnoxious - he obviously meant that one year's difference is not significant.

>>4838436
Just pointing out your idiocy. There is a difference.

Now kindly haul your retarded ass back to /a/, the men are talking.

>>4838445
That's why I said 1988-89. That's a two-year span, not one.

/jp/ sure is stupid tonight.

>>4838446
Do you really think that there is a difference in maturity between someone who is 18 and someone who is 17?
Both are the same thing. Immature.

>>4838451
>1988-89
>two-year span, not one.
>/jp/ sure is stupid tonight.
welp,

ITT we act like oldfags

>>4838398
Yep, that would be me. However, I was introduced to facebook by my older friends ('85-'89), so you might want to push back your ideal a bit.

>>4838460
1988 is a 1 year span
1989 is a 1 year span
1988-1989 is a 2 year span

I feel like I'm teaching math to middle school kids here. I'm disappointed, /jp/.

>>4838452
There is a difference. On average, the 18yo is slightly more mature than the 17yo.

Trying to argue that there is no difference is pure idiocy. I hope I'm being trolled here, otherwise I fear for the future of basic mathematics.

>>4838485
Only if you go from January first 1988 to December 31st 1989. Which isn't what people mean when they say 1988-1989. If you weren't such an autistic jerk you would've understood that already.

>>4838500
It's like IQ. It works as a generalisation, but applying it to individuals is troublesome.

>>4838485
December 31, 1988 to January 1st, 1989 is a 1 day span.
January 1, 1988 to January 1st, 1989 is a 2 year span.
Assuming that birthdays are evenly distributed over a year, the average time span between two given persons births is one year.

I feel like you're being intentionally obstinate in order to be an asshole, and managing to fuck it up.

>>4838515
You... mixed up your dates here, bro.

>>4838517
Whoops.

>>4838500
That would only work accounting for uniform growth in maturity among 17-18 year olds.
Now, if you take into account that 17-18 is the age during which kids go to high school, you find that these children frequent other children that may be one year under or one year over them.
This causes a leveling of the average maturity level to a certain level that is pretty constant within an age range.
In essence, all high schoolers have the same maturity

>>4838512
>>4838515
Sure is confirmation bias around here.

You're WRONG. Stop trying to rationalize your stupidity. I don't care if 1988-1989 is "commonly" seen as a 1-year span by idiots. That doesn't make it correct. It's WRONG.

I'm done here, I'm getting dumber every time I read a new post. Enjoy your blissful ignorance, /jp/.

>>4838545
You're just ridiculous. Soon you're going to say that from the 28th to the 29th of a month, there's two days because you start counting from the beginning of the first to the end of the second.
The keyword here is FROM, it means you stop when you reach it. 1988-1989 means from 1988 to 1989. There is a span of 365 days from one to the other.

>>4838545
lmoa

>>4838545
I think you're confusing
> 1988 to 1989
with
>The beginning of 1988 to the end of 1989

These two sentences have two different meanings. The first sentence is vague and can mean anything from 1 to 2 years while the second one means what you suggest.

This thread is why I pity mathematicians.

It's a lonely battle against common ignorance, and the ignorant never want to admit they're wrong.

The mentality that the board is "too slow" and needs more threads is bad. I'd rather have well thought out threads that last for days than a constant stream of stupid pointless threads that get 5 replies and then everyone leaves them to make the next 10 derp threads.

>>4838593
Who thinks that we're too slow? I thought the common wisdom here was that speed and quality are inversely related, so we prefer slow quality over /a/.

>>4838593
This is why we should move to /bun/.

>>4838598
That's what he said.

>>4838593
Is the archive's report function still working?
Based on it, the posting rate has been pretty constant.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BIG 3 THREADS ON /A/??? IF YOU GUYS WERE STILL WITH US, AT LEAST TOUHOU HIJACK COULD PROTECT US ;_;

>>4838600
/bun/ should lick my balls

Captain obvious.
At least /jp/ is safe from them...for a few years.

>>4838419
The most stupid thing I've seen today. "almost no different" (he didn't say word almost, but he did imply it) is not transitive. A almost is B and B almost is C does not mean that A almost is C. You have no right to participate in discussions about mathematics.

>>4838624
>he didn't say word almost
>he didn't say word almost
>he didn't say word almost
>he didn't say word almost
>he didn't say word almost
>he didn't say word almost

Would you like me to paste it a few more times?

>>4838631
So you're not just bad at mathematics, you're a full blown retard? Okay. Paste few more times. This will help.

>>4838624
>"almost no different" (he didn't say word almost, but he did imply it)

>>4836182
I do get the feeling it's getting raided and trolled 24/7

>>4838624
He never implied almost.
He said the same. Which means exactly the same.

I'm a 21 year old basement dweller on welfare. I don't have any problems with it. It just makes me a little sad when I find out most posters are younger than me.

>>4838654
I'm 25 if it's any consolation.

The cancer is under us and didn't come from somewhere else: It started with tripfags, circlejerks and ircfags and was boosted by the nekofaggotry that caused the board to break. Now even sites like sankaku are to be considered better than this shithole called /jp/

I just turned 18 this year. Found 4chan in 2005, lurked for 2 years before posting. Still consider myself a newfag because I am one. If I get ban for this post, it will show that at least there's still some little bit of hope left for 4chan.

>>4838657
This reminds me of how people on 4chan used to make fun of other internet communities as if we were somehow inherently superior in both userbase and content.
Places like gaia, newgrounds, etc.
A smile comes to my lips as I think of how 4chan is compared to those sites now.

>>4838660
Its nice to see that some people actualy lurk for a decent time before posting. I too lurked for 2 years before I posted anything, and I'm still not very keen on actually posting.

I'm 23, I like to pretend it's the average so I don't shoot myself.

I'm also about to shoot myself thanks to my jackass evo teacher. He posted a pdf of a case study and no instructions as to what to do with it, and the assignment is worth 80 points and due in 5 hours. What the shit.

The solution is to get all the average-good posters of /a/ and /jp/ and bring them all to one board.

>>4838671
>evo teacher
What?

>>4838671
ask your classmates what to do with it

Well, I missed this one. Sum up this thread in a sentence please.

You are not good posters. The board is shit because of you, not because of others. This thread is all the proof you need.

>>4838663
I smile at how some sites still fear 4chan from when it used to be an actual threat, and they call it a haven of illegal and disgusting shit. Then I go to /b/ and just see normalfags posting their dicks and feet and wonder what they're scared of.

>>4838671
I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out and do your work right. It's not like you have a social life to slow you down.

>>4838679
/a/ sucks and most of /jp/ are just boring underage normalfags

>>4838675
Evolution, have to take this shitty class for my shitty major

>>4838676
>ask your classmates what to do with it

I'm on /jp/. I don't know a single one.

I'm pretty much screwed. Can't really ask anyone what to do at 6am, I won't get a reply until it's too late.

>>4838693
Post that pdf

>>4838693
Case study eh?
Wouldn't explaining the mechanisms at work in the case probably be what's wanted of you?

What is wrong with being considered "normal"? Normals and NEETs can have similar interests you know

>>4838711
Normals will always be casual and less full of knowledge about those shared interests than a single NEET. NEETs often find normals a hindrance to any conversations about those shared interests.

>>4838711
It's a difference in values, in personal philosophy.

A normalfag's interpretation is almost always a departure from a NEET's interpretation of a game, a show, or simple events. This difference is significant on a message board because it effects the types of ideas that exchanged in the community. As the community is inundated more and more by normals, we face a paradigm shift in board culture and values.

/jp/ will no longer be the same as what it used to be and will begin to show the stretch marks of overcrowding and a userbase that is predominantly new and ignorant of the way things used to work here.

Yep.

>Implying the elitist 'otaku neet' group isn't relatively new to 4chan, /jp/, and aren't all liars trying to look 'cool'

>>4838756
No, Anonymous, you are the new.

/jp/: I must kill the normalfags!

No, /jp/, you are the normalfags

Well fuck me, that place really stinks...

>>4839006
oh lawdy, as if this shithole is any better than that shithole.
It's like trading asshole rape for throat rape.
You're still fucked.

The worst kind of posters are those who abandon their own board because of a bunch of idiots. It really shows you never really cared about the community here and all you did was bitch and whine.

You know, after the name change, moot made a point that died over time in here: ignore shit you don't like. We don't want any more stupid drama generated from people too obsessed with the quality of the board. They attack one another, spread distrust and end up causing more damage than the idiots themselves, even though they have good intentions.

I see all you defenders of /jp/'s purity who say they have been here since day 1, seething with rage at the slightest bother. I've been to /jp/ since day 30, I must say, but even then I noticed something. Being this bothered was never part of the board. In fact this was one of the most quiet, passive boards I had seen. Unforgiving, but quiet. So, what happened to you purists? Did I miss 30 days of utter rage? No? Then, why are you so out of /jp/'s main element, the "take it easy" mantra, when you try to defend it? It's like defending a castle by throwing the walls to the enemy.
And don't tell me that there are too many offtopic or spam threads anymore, we have an active and quick Janitor now.

The next time you are ready to cringe and be very angry at each other, lean back and take a look at the board. You will notice that the drama you generated is much worse than any fifth Rance thread, drawfag attention whoring, loljapan question, normalfag or KoG raid.

I'm sure almost noone will reply to this post, in fact a lot of people will have filtered at least one of the words in it. You may keep arguing with each other. You may also leave. I'll be staying here and go bump a good thread for every bad one made, until the end. Because I love this board and I'll do everything to help it.

>>4839062
agreed.
Remember when /jp/ was actually about japan and not the weeaboo anime and hentai games ?

>>4839063
/jp/ needs more people like you.

>>4839063
>loljapan question
what ?

>>4839065

>Remember when /jp/ was actually about japan

Yeah, those YOU WAKE UP IN GENSOKYO threads sure were great

>>4839065
>Remember when /jp/ was actually about japan and not the weeaboo anime and hentai games ?
/jp/ was never about Japan. Piss off, you were never the kind of user this board was intended for.

>>4839065
I fucking loved Japanese generals threads.

>>4839063
This metathread has been active for over 10 hours now. I doubt it's the best place to praise a janitor in.

>>4839089
Threads were being deleted while this was on page 0 so obviously the meido approves of it.

Stop imposing some sort of godlike image on her. Maybe she has a weak spot for metathreads, kinda like 99% of /jp/.

>>4839103
>meido approves of it

That's precisely what I was getting at. Kind of hard to praise someone who does that.

>>4839103

It reflects /jp/'s autistic, Aspie nature.

>Am I doing this right? I have to do this perfectly, right? After all, I am the most important person here, and I can't afford to look like those inferior common people, it would make me look utterly retarded. Why can't people do things THIS way? It's so much better than doing it THAT way, they're so STUPID for wanting to do it THAT way.

Hence, /jp/ has crippling social anxiety, cannot accept imperfections in their sexual partners, and cries when things do not go their way. Also, /jp/ needs constant metathreads so that everyone knows if everyone's posting as they should.

Metathreads are honestly more /jp/ related than anything else, seeing as they appeared at its birth.

>>4839103
It's okay to have a metathread every once in a while. I would prefer if you took it to the ghost board instead of clogging up the board, but it's just one thread and we haven't had one of these recently.
Just get it out of your system. Personally, I'm more of a "take it easy, things are getting a bit better" guy, but I know quite well the benefits of venting your frustrations about the board.

So, carry on if you want to. Or move it to the archive, whatever.

>>4839111
This hurts so much because it's true. ;_;

>>4839111
Yeah, for once you are somewhat correct with your observations.

Have some meido porn and calm down, everyone.

GTFO nigger and learn to /jp/

>>4839111

Can we keep the 'autism' and 'aspie' bullshit in /v/, please? Or better yet, on one of those forums away from here. The last thing we need is a bunch of 'HURR ASPIES OMG GUISE' threads adding to the shitheap.

I'm certain you have to be born with Autism. It can't be learned.

>>4839160

>>4839194

You don't seem to understand.

There are threads on /jp/ where they talk about their autism and social anxiety. Shall I produce an Archive thread for you?

>>4839196
SHIVER ME BALLSACK

Party is over. Nigger running wild because he will never be part of the non cancer group on 4chan

>>4839202

There've been autism threads? I knew about the social anxiety stuff, but not those.

Are they anything like the shitty /v/ threads full of misinformation and bullshit?

...also, I fucking hate the phrase 'aspie'.

>>4839194
I'm sorry, but I'll have to side with the nigra here, because it is a fact that a great part of /jp/ does have a mental disorder of some kind. For example, this Anonymous here has Asperger's and, hey, it's not bad to admit it, at least in this secluded space.

>>4839221

Gentlemen, I rest my case.

/jp/ - Autism.

Fear not. Being high makes you act like a paranoid autistic, so I'm understanding where you guys are coming from.

>>4839065
What is up with the users that actually take the name of the board as the content?
/jp/ was never about Japan, and Otaku Culture is just a less midleading label but that doesn't mean that it goes hand in hand with the content or what should go into the board.

>>4839233

>he thinks I'm smart enough to samefag

itt trolls

>>4839247
>he still uses greentext without quoting anything

Well, looks like I have to step in.

Remember friends, take it easy, and just ignore what you personally dislike. It's the way we handle things.

>>4839219


>...also, I fucking hate the phrase 'aspie'.

That's such an aspie thing to do, man.

It could always be worse. Imagine /b/ getting into /jp/ culture and come flooding to this board with their faggotry.

>>4839264
your always talking about ', takeing it easy" but do any of us ever even see you takeing it easy no not one of us have ever seen it your just posting to troll people and just to post
