/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Things got better

This is great news!

We are nearing our final goal of 1 post per week!

It has gotten quiet, I like to take it easy.

people got tired of being told what they're allowed to talk about and just went other places? when the rules change depending on the janitors mood there is little reason to have discussion here.

Isn't 4chan in general getting slower?

I don't visit the other boards much, so I might be completely wrong.

Really? It's fast as fuck around here lately.

>>8010007
This.

The faster a board moves the shitter it gets, because more people just means more shitposting so that people will pay attention to their stupid opinion before it's wept to page 10. It's a lot faster to slam out "lol u took him 2 da bar?|" then it is to make a post that starts or contributes to a meaningful discussion. Just look at /b/ or /v/.

>>8010020
In the 2 times I've visited /b/, I've noted that I can find a thread I make on the first page, before I couldn't

Of course that was pre-captcha/flood-detection.

>>8010020
>Isn't 4chan in general getting slower?

Its gotten fucking faster, mostly because of the shitposts. It use to be a lot slower, and if you dont like it get out. we are finally reverting back to the golden age, hopefully.

>>8010038
Hahaha.

/v/ has taken all the traffic. It's become something worse than /b/. I've noticed that /a/ and /v/ are getting worse, while the other boards are getting better.

>>8010050
That one is sort of bittersweet, really.

>>8010002
/a/ went home

Too many big fat meanies in this place.

>>8010045
/v/ always was a shithole, /a/ has changed a lot.

>>8010059
This

Why is /jp/ so mean and angry

>>8010064
Taking it easy can be hard.

>>8010045
/tg/ is getting worse too, shares too much of a crossover with /v/ after THQ has started churning out 40k games.

Nowhere near as bad as /a/b/v/, but it's significantly worse than it used to be a few years back.

>>8010050
I guarantee that 60% of those numbers in the last 6 months have been shitposting. /jp/ is dead, all the old users have left and it is left with the fucking autistic shit circle.

Mods did absolutely nothing, they deserve no free pass either.

Soon /jp/ will be like /bun/

>>8010064
So we can get rid of the retards and also because we hace actual problems, /jp/s real userbase (not the shitposters who try to take over everyday) is nothing like the other boards. if you dont like it, leave.

MAXIMUM ELITISM

>>8010064
The future is a mean and angry place
and we are in the vanguard

>>8010085
>worse than it used to be a few years back.
When it was PORN PORN EVERYWHERE?

I blame all the non-Americans for our problems on /jp/.

>>8010104
>>8010104
Fuck you American pig you fat fuck go exercise and get off the internet for 5 seconds you fucking sad excuse for a human you pig fuck

God damn ignorant shit posting American pig

>>8010064
Newfriends trying to imitate the /jp/ spirit without knowing why they're raging.

>>8010104
That's funny seeing how NA is the main source of aggrevation pretty much in everything that concerns the world as a whole.

>>8010106
>When it was TOUHOU TOUHOU EVERYWHERE?
Yes.

>>8010110
excuse me sir, but we are all trying to stay calm and relax here, could you do the same? Also, please keep it civil, we all want to enjoy our last few days here before the world ends. Thanks

>>8010122
>our last few days here before the world ends


What?

I don't get how we ever reached 6 posts per minute. When the board was new we only got 1 post per 4 minutes.
Shouldn't the new board attract shitposters for few weeks and then get slow when thy get bored?
Why the fuck it moves so fast now, after all those years?

>>8010050

Is the tallest spike the kintectimal spammer?

>>8010085

I'd sooner attribute that to the piece of shit janitor and mod that got Touhouguy banned, myself

That entire event was like a big exclamation mark at the end of a sentence the janitor had been writing for months

That sentence was "/tg/'s mine now, bitch"

/jp/'s problem is that it's on 4chan, plain and simple.

When it was new of course we had a great influx of people from all over the place and shitposting everywhere but then they got bored and what was left was the user based that defined this place. Take it easy, japanese bird cooking spaghetti, get out of /jp/, etc. But as people started to flee /b/ to other boards because the rest of the site hated it to death since being a /b/tard became "uncool" they started to shitpost and raid everywhere else. It's why /v/ is such a shithole today, people don't want to post off-topic threads on /b/ because everyone hates /b/, therefore they post it on other boards only escalating the problem, doing the same thing that the people they claim to hate do.

Shitty things from /b/ like the hate for weeaboos (which people don't even know anymore that was a filter for wapanese) spread everywhere and /jp/ became the obvious target, even though it was barely about Japan, even when it was Japan/General. Some of those shitposters that came to raid stayed, this board became more popular and /jp/ got shittier.

Now I never bothered to browse any other image board outside of 4chan like /bun/ and all that crap, but fuck I understand the appeal of fleeing 4chan.

This place is doomed.

>>8010139
it was probably umineko spoilers, I remember something like 30 consecutive maxed threads in a couple days

There is literally no reason to come to /jp/ and post in other threads that aren't the OC thread and the VN general. EVERY other thread is a shit-post or some random TH imagedump.

I love how /jp/ still acts like /v/ and /a/ are much worse than we are, but in the end the quality of the discussions is way, way higher. Not that it means much, anyway.

>>8010173
But where else can we go? I don't know anywhere else on the internet where something like Ayumarine or Syojokyu could start off awesome threads.

>>8010173
Saved in my meta kopipe folder.

Just so you know, champ, you can metacirclejerk on the archive, but not here.

>>8010186
Fuck off back to /a/ and /v/ if you think they're so good.

>>8010173
If there is hope, it lies in the text boards. Or maybe new world2ch will get big.

>>8010217
No need to get angry; by no means I would intend to interrupt your circlejerks with celebrities such as Liberty-kun and wTH, reposting which2hufuck and other other kind of insightful /jp/ content like that.

Grasp and hold on to your unfounded elitism as hard as you can. I'm sure the thickness of your delusions already runs thinner by every refresh.

>>8010232
U mad?

>>8010232
We get it, you come to /jp/ for the VNs.

Guess what bud, people come here for things other than those and make discussions of them too.

>>8010245
Ho, really now? I'm all ears: what sort of things "things other than those" would encompass? Try not to get too heavy on the bullshit, please.

>>8010245

>>8010232
Thanks for proving my point, /v/tard.

>>>/v/

>>8010277
I think you fail to realize the irony of your post.

>>8010208
Why would you save that? It's not fun, interesting nor insightful.

What has happened is that /jp/ has been turned into an autistic circlejerk, and I mean "autistic" here in the literal sense: specifically, monomania. It used to be that /jp/ had a healthy "as long as it's Japan-related somehow, it goes" attitude, but nowadays the definition of "otaku culture" has been narrowed down so much that few of the actual otaku are interested in it anymore.

>>8010106
I never saw that much NSFW material on /tg/. Perhaps when the "WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO HOLD A KOBOLD ELF TOUHOU SPESS MARINE IN YOUR ARMS?" shitspam started, but that's about the time I left.

Do we really need another metathread with the exact same posts by the exact same posters every day?

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/shitpstr

Not even /v/ has something this pathetic.

>>8010303

Wonder how /tg/'s daily postcounts have developed over the past couple years. It was turned by mods from one of the friendliest boards on 4chan into one of the most narrowminded, and the way it is now, I find it not worth it even trying to hold a conversation there lest I catch a global ban for offending some petty tyrant.

>>8010312
Your post nails the real problem with /jp/.

There is little to talk about, but people want to talk.

>>8010318
The fuck are you going on about? /tg/ was turning into Nerd shit/random before the mods woke the fuck up and put the board back on track. Don't tell me you're one of those retards that thinks along the lines of "off-topic? What's that? If the users want to discuss something, then let them discuss it XDD"

>>8010317
I was very happy to see "You have no Friends in this group" when I went to look at it.

>>8010317
/v/ has a shitposter circle as well.

the only difference between it and /jp/'s is that /v/'s shitposters manage to improve the board.

>>8010327

I used to be a fucking excellent /tg/ user contributing in good faith every day and one fucking day everything I posted started to get deleted. Shit post, good post, didn't matter, fucking anything would go. When I got banned for bashing 4E (for 'trolling', that wonderful catch-all excuse for people who don't have an actual argument) I had enough. That place is ruled by internet fascists.

We're committing suicide quickly. It means that things are getting tougher, we are getting old. Less people in /jp/, less posts, its simple.

>>8010389
So /jp/ wants to commit suicide?

>>8010395
You must be new here. A lot of people here suffers from mental disorders, depression and shit, so they are suicidal. I am suicidal, for example.

Gensokyo is suicide, too.

>>8010016
Baby trying to fit in, /jp/ is slow as shit lately.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?

>>8010444
Nice trips

>>8010444

A nice back alley stroll.

>>8010186
>but in the end the quality of the discussions is way, way higher
Have you fucking seen /v/? I

>>8010186
>OC thead and the VN general
But these are the worst thread on /jp/.

Not joking

>>8010537
STALKER, Dark/Demon's Souls, Monster Hunter - and that's only naming a few - always have very good threads with loads of nice discussion and information. And even if threads chains, such as LoL, SC2 and the fighting ones are ridden with tripfaggots and general retardation, they STILL talk about the subject in topic.

Naturally, there is still an ocean of stupidly shitty threads. But when push comes to stove, you won't need to browse for pages long until you find a single thread that isn't completely awful.

>>8010544
Really? Then please, allow me to hear which ones you consider to be the best ones.

The problem is there are too many people here with different interests who all hate each others interests that they don't share.

Touhou fans bitch about VN fans, who bitch about idol fans, who bitch about kigurumi fans, who bitch about toy fans, who bitch about the OC thread, etc. etc. You can't force all of us into one board, because the interests are too varied.

moot should just fucking shut up for once and just create subboards. /th/, /vn/, /3dpd/, whatever. Don't lump us all in together with each other just because IT'S FROM JAPAN!!!!

>>8010642
>Touhou fans bitch about VN fans

This never happened.

Otherwise /jp/ wouldn't have been created in the first place, besides, you're just assuming things out of your ass acting like you know anything.

>>8010642
The folks over at futaba seem to manage fine.

>>8010642
>Touhou fans bitch about VN fans, who bitch about idol fans etc.
The only time I see this happening is in threads like these between the typical angry metathread regulars, and they are hardly representative of the board.

so are shoot em ups /jp/ or not?


I see this FABTEK and Raiden all over the place

>>8010648
It's an example, asswipe.

I obviously don't know WHO bitches about who all the time.

>>8010658
Because they actually have moderation.

>>8010658
But they have different boards for all of those things.

>>8010672
Nobody bitches about anyone. You're making things up.

>>8010707
Go fuck yourself. I've seen enough examples. You obviously just got here from >>>/a/.

>>8010847
People bitch about Touhou, but nobody bitches about VNs.

Well, people bitch about specific VNs, but the only people who bash on VNs in general are professional trolls.
