/jp/ - Otaku Culture

sticky this *grabs cock*

It's about:
* Touhou
* Visual novels
* Doujin games
* Doujinshi
* NEET/Hikikomori threads that aren't better suited to /adv/
* Taking it easy
* Not being Naz
* Reported

dont worry i forgive you for forgetting about me

>>8461308
Can you be more specific?

What kind of Touhou threads are acceptable? Is /jp/ more about touhou image dumps, hypothetical questions (which touhou fuck??), lore (shut up) discussion, or what? I don't see many /jp/ers drawing or even discussing touhou fan-art.

Same goes for visual novels. What SPECIFICALLY? I mean, I assume that if I start a thread with a picture of a visual novel and all I say is "my dick is so hard" it won't go over well. There has to be some kind of discussion there, right? Or does there? Does it matter if there's a /jp/-related discussion as long as it's wearing a thin veil of "/jp/-related interests"?

I'm asking very seriously here. This shit can be said about any of those bullet-points. I see threads that are either off-topic or have no topic get many posts, but threads with a specific topic in mind get saged and deleted. I mean, I see shit threads get yelled at too and discussion threads take off as well, but not nearly as often for some reason.

>>8461334
> touhou image dumps
They're fine, just don't go crazy with them and try to discuss things as well as post images. Remember that /c/ and /e/ exist.
> hypothetical questions (which touhou fuck??)
No.
> lore (shut up) discussion
Yes.
> I don't see many /jp/ers drawing or even discussing touhou fan-art.
Quite a few people draw Touhous. Check the various OC threads we have. We also discuss artists and such.
> Same goes for visual novels. What SPECIFICALLY?
Don't worry about it. People make general VN threads and VN translation threads already, so you don't have to! If you have to question whether or not something is worth making a thread for, it isn't.

Just make interesting threads. If they get deleted or die, they weren't very interesting.
Oh, and lurk more.

/jp/ is about certain specific video games and animes. All of the things we post about share a common theme if you haven't noticed by now.

It's up to you to lurk and figure this out though.

>>8461334
>if I start a thread with a picture of a visual novel and all I say is "my dick is so hard" it won't go over well.
>/jp/
i wouldnt be too sure about that....

>>8461344
You're in a very weird mood this week. Like you sort of fluctuate a lot. One day you're a good poster then you're an obvious shitposter then you're annoyingly "ironic", now you're...whatever this is. It's just strangely meta and I can't put my finger on what it is you think you're doing.

>>8461343
See, I lurk a lot. But there's such a vast amount of "shitposters" that I'm not entirely sure what the model is to follow. I'm beginning to question if there's anyone on /jp/ that ISN'T a "shitposter."

>>8461344
So if I see a troll/shitposting thread like >>8461349
but still find it interesting, have a desire to post in it and bump it, and want to quietly carry on a pointless, silly, fun discussion with other anons in that thread, that's bad?

>>8461334
1) Don't pay attention to whatever the janitor deletes. It has no bearing on anything.

2) Threads where we're obsessing about specific 2D girls consists of like 80% of the content here. Just remember that and you'll make a successful thread.

>>8461355
> So if I see a troll/shitposting thread like >>8461349
Well it was just deleted. But still sort of there because ENTERPRISE QUALITY PHP CODE.
Just stop caring and take it easy. If you need things quantifying and spelling out for you, here you go:
http://cerealexperiments.com/jprules.php

This board is about being nice and making life-long friendships!

/jp/ is about the same thing it always has been about. Keeping all you shitposter faggots away from the rest of the site. Nothing more, nothing less.

These are the current threads that reach high post numbers on /jp/:

NEET culture
Depression threads
Touhou porn/picture dump
Shitposting
VNs
Japanese games
Suicide threads
Transgender/Trap/Crossdressing Fetish discussion
Trip/namefag attention threads
"HOW DO I LEARN JAPANESE /JP/?????"
Pleasure of entering inside translation threads
Contentless Touhou threads(warning: serious discussion will be derailed into people attempting to find a way into Gensokyo)

>>8461353
You overthink stuff way too much.

/jp/ is whatever you want it to be, and you are whoever you want to be.

Never forget this, Lualdi.

>>8461371
>>8461370
>>8461364
>>8461363
So what I'm getting is that a few "shitposts" aren't necessarily bad in a small amount as long as there's some on-topic discussion in or around them, and my greatest mistake on /jp/ was not the content of my posts but rather the quantity of them?

>>8461373
This. We're to /a/ what /soc/ is to /b/.

And frankly I'm okay with that. Makes me feel special. Like some sort of cool dude outcast.

>>8461384
So... /jp/ has no real topic or explicit purpose other than to hold shitposts and shitposters? That would mean... that people who attempt to police the board are deluded fools who cling to the hope that /jp/ can someday be their clubhouse, if only they can scare off people like me?

>>8461401
No. It means that you're one of us.

>>8461401

You know anyone that try to police any thread is deluded. There's a limit to how much you can control any problem, and often something "hated" gets incorporated on boards' cultures.

Things on /jp/ work just like in any other board. You just feel it happening strongly because it's way slower than /a/ or /v/ or whatever.

>>8461401
The topics of this board have been pointed out to you numerous times in this thread. Just looking back a few pages you can get a general idea of the board.

Just take it easy and go with the flow. If you don't like it here, then leave. Simple as that.

I posted >>8461341 but it was deleted. I thought VNs and loli were /jp/-related, but I guess the rules have changed at some point. So yeah, I'm kinda lost as to what we're supposed to post here. I guess since this meta thread hasn't been deleted, it's okay. Same for language threads, 'see this what do', and alcohol.

I miss the time when /jp/ was about Touhou, visual novels and doujin games.

>>8461383
I still maintain that "shitposting" if a figment of most people's imagination. Just post 2D girls and you'll be fine. The current page is currently:

- Neptunia girls thread
- Moe picture of Chen
- Chubby Mugi from k-on
- Thread about Katja whipping
- "Cutest Touhou hamsters"
- Reimu thread
- Dolls

See the common theme? "Otaku Culture" in a nutshell.

>>8461401
That is pretty much the perfect definition. Some posters will claim otherwise but this is pretty much it.

>>8461401
Nope. Shitposting breaks the rule #6 : The quality of the post matters. The janitor is currently trying to apply that rule.

>>8461409
I'm not trying to police the board. If I'm not trying to stir up shit for fun, I'm posting hypotheticals and trying to start discussions regarding various personality disorders and other conditions I may or may not have.

>>8461414
>>8461415
I made this thread because there's two or three anons that pick out my posts by my posting style or images I post and specifically attack me. I want to know if it's something I've done on /jp/ or if it's just a personal grudge I should try my best to ignore on the board.

>>8461425
As I said, take it easy. They are a prime example of being who aren't taking it easy. You're probably doing nothing wrong.

>>8461384
I like it too. We're like /soc/ for for social outcasts. All /jp/sies a my frieds!

We just had this thread a few days ago, courtesy Tokiko.

>8461301
>What is /jp/ about, at this point?
Lurk until you find out.

>>8461425
>I want to know if it's something I've done on /jp/ or if it's just a personal grudge I should try my best to ignore on the board.
Nobody knows you outside of /jp/. If people dislike you it's probably because of something you did.

>>8461431
You're nice, anon. Thanks!

>>8461434
My social anxiety isn't crippling on the internet. In fact, with the abstraction of an image board, it's almost nonexistant. But on boards like /soc/ with people talking about real life and the real world all the time, I get nervous and scared and sad.

I wish there was even less "rules" or guidelines. I would love to discuss anime with my fellow /jp/ anons without it getting deleted or constant redirects to /a/.

If I wanted to discuss anime with them I wouldn't have came here when the split happened. The kind of people I used to enjoy spending time with in /a/ 4~ years ago are here now, but we can't discuss shows because hurr durr touhou only gbt2 >>>/a/

Going to /a/ makes me depressed at how much it has changed, even the few good threads that exist are too fast for my liking. But things change I guess, its not like I'll ever have old /b/ back either.

>>8461441
This sounds like kopipe but Haganai is quite accepted here now.

Only certain series get allowed though.

>>8461441
Do you want to have a good anime conversation? State the topic, and start talking about it. Don't just make a blank post with some random anime screencap. That's retarded.

>>8461425
I would start with ceasing your avatarfaggery. If you have a picture that's relevant to your post, post it. If you don't, just post without a picture. Stop posting a million irrelevant Nazrins.

>>8461441
I feel the same way. There just aren't any quality anime communities on the net anymore. Or if there are, I haven't found them yet.

Touhou is sooooo last season. It's the Idol's time to shine!

>>8461460
I thought all the idolfags perished.

>>8461460
Idols age.

>>8461441
>>>/bun/

>>8461453
Nazrin is cute. Why don't you like her?

I want to have never existed.

If you're havin' girl problems I feel bad for ya son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.

>>8461455
I would love to, but I have a static IP and am too scared to make threads. Been banned a couple of times for trying to talk about hidamari sketch when it was airing.

Notably that was a long time ago but its the only times I've been banned and it left a mark.

But I totally agree, the only anime that gets posted is screencaps that were shit to begin with, I think this has left a sour taste in many of /jp/ers mouths, and they have a vendetta against anime here.

>>8461441
It may sound childish, but deal with it. I don't like how downhill /b/'s creepy threads and /x/ have gone, but I'm not about to start posting Lovecraft in /ck/. Discuss topics in the appropriate boards. If you don't like the community, go elsewhere.
Look at how many /adv/ threads we've had lately, because "/adv/ sucks" and "/jp/ is the NEET board" and people "visit /jp/ the most." I don't want /jp/ to turn into /a/ just because "/jp/ is better." And I like anime.

>>8461483
Anime is otaku culture related. You probably won't get banned if you create a thread that explains the interest on talking about the anime. Just be formal, and not a retarded.

>>8461484
Okay. Is it okay to post a thread on /jp/ linking to an /adv/ thread, then?

>>8461483
> Been banned a couple of times for trying to talk about hidamari sketch when it was airing.
/jp/ didn't even exist then. Did you post it in /co/ or something?

>>8461467
Sorry, but what the hell is /bun/?
I see it refered to daily but with no information about it, google gives no results whatsoever no matter how many search terms I try.

>>8461495
bunbunmaru

/jp/ has no point, it's a loose collection of topics and posters around certain subsets of japanese media. If you ask me, there's space for everything here if there's genuine discussion around it.
Want to talk some anime, games that are not doujin, whatever that can be linked to japanese otaku media should be alright.

The topics are not the issue, it's the quality around them. Nobody cares about a textless screencap after more than a year of the same garbage being forced and cluttering the board.

There's also the problem that no two people can agree on what /jp/ is about, besides the goal of the split being a cleanse of non-anime/manga from /a/.

Contribute and it won't get deleted, it's been that way since forever.

/jp/ is about being massive dickbags to everyone who doesn't get it.

e.g., you. Leave.

>>8461493
The most recent season. Or maybe it was the 2nd? It was a few years back.

The first season had interesting and fun discussions on /a/, others did not.

/jp/ is about Smallville.

Anyone who says otherwise is a newfag of the highest degree.

>>8461500

>>8461490
I say post it in an existing thread. And only if it's related. We usually have a "general" NEET/hikikomori thread at any given time. If it's something small just say, "Hey guys I need help with this." If it's a big issue and you want lots of advice and want to blog, post it in /adv/ then link to it in the thread. That's what /adv/ is for, after all.
Though I don't mean to come off as bitter about people who need help. I basically mean people who make a thread all about themselves. It's fine to start a thread for everyone by sharing your own problems to get the ball rolling, but "HEY /jp/ I'M A NEET SO THIS BELONGS HERE LOL SO BASICALLY I NEED A JOB AND I WANT TO KILL MYSELF AND..." is just obnoxious and exactly the sort of thing /adv/ was created for.

>>8461484
>Discuss topics in the appropriate boards.
The mods apparently feel otherwise because they banned me for reccomending cosplayers in /diy/ seek help in /cgl/ because they don't like that board.

>>8461503
Somebody saaaaaaaaave me...

>>8461516
One of these days I'm gonna find out what the fuck they say after that line. It's reminds me of the P3 drinking fuck song.

>>8461467
oh HEL--. OK guys? OK. what if we. OK. stay with me now. what if we... imply people to go to /bun/, but we do not.... everyone with me? OK. we do not... PROVIDE A LINK

>>8461526
Don't care how you do it, just saaaave meeeee.

Superman saves people.

>>8461484
I agree with you and all but the problem is, I like my fellow autists here and wish we could just expand our discussions. I care more about the community than the topic. It never was and never would have become a problem if not for the sites overpopulation, we could all be on /a/ and all discuss everything like normal.

If only we were (harsher) elitist pricks back then as well, chasing off all newcomers.

>>8461532
No, the one before that.

IIRC it goes Somebody save me, wawawa wa wa wa wa, Somebody save me, don't care how you do it, just save me.

>>8461544
I like the friendlier atmosphere /jp/ seems to have now. Even though we're not exactly know for our quality posts, I prefer it being a bit more laid-back so long as it doesn't turn to total shit.

>>8461559

You know 4chan is like a big motherboard that houses all the others, called /fap/.

fuck you
