I often see on /jp/ ``sage" being used in various contexts. Because I am autistic, it is difficult for me to understand the correct etiquette for the usage of this function. Can I please be educated in its particulars?

Thank you respectfully.

I don't it is because of your implied autism.

Sage doesn't bump the thread.
I personally use it when I don't see the point in bumping the thread, which could be when the thread is already popular and/or your post doesn't contain anything that would nurture a well-off conversation.

I also use it when I tell people off, or give other personal comments, and not on topic.

Is it true that often, genteel conversation may be carried out covertly through the usage of ``sage", hiding the thread from enthusiastic newcomers who only concern themselves with the initial page?

Why are Japanese people so pathetic?

They take low self-esteem to a whole new level. How can anyone be so pitiful that they don't even have the confidence to bump a thread on the internet?

America's outspokenness, confidence, and ability to take it easy is something many cultures could learn from.

I say this as a Brit. We suffer from a lot of the same humility/shame/stiff-upper-lip bullshit that the Japs do, even among the working class.

>>10289270
While you are correct about Japanese people taking low self esteem to a whole new level, I don't know if it is used in the same manner here.

I usually sage when my post isn't contributing anything to the discussion, or when the thread isn't really relevant to the topic of the board. It also becomes a habit when you have been posting here for 4 years.

Post rating.

Thread rating.

Both designed to keep good contributions on the front page.

How is sage not a voting/quality control system again?

Shitposting a thread to bump into the first page seems more pathetic to me.

I sage to prevent the front page viewers from reading my posts. Its embarrassing.

You are so wrong on this one. Japanese is the undisputed king of taking it it easy.

>Japanese is the undisputed king of taking it it easy.

>Japan has one of the world's highest suicide rates, and the Japanese government reported the rate for 2006 as being the ninth highest in the world.
>Karōshi which can be translated literally from Japanese as "death from overwork", is occupational sudden death. Although this category has a significant count, Japan is one of the few countries that reports it in the statistics as a separate category. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.

Definitely sounds like Japan is taking it easy.

They don't take it easy at all. Forcing yourself to meet a backwards status quo is stressful, not relaxing:

Norway is the undisputed king of taking it easy.

Japan doesn't even have a decent welfare/disability system to leech off. You can comfortably leech in Norway and never work a day in your entire life. If you want then you can also kill some people and spend the next 25 years taking it easy in those cushy Norwegian luxury resorts that they call prisons.

Norway is third here, but I think for a /jp/sie it's easily the highest thanks to welfare and cosy prisons.

Not that guy but I'd still prefer to live in Japan over Norway simply because Norway is dark, cold and boring. It's no surprise how so many Scandinavians are depressed people, they have hardly any sunshine.

That is so cute.
I usually sage all my posts, since they all sound very silly when I read them after posting and I don't want my stupid sounding post be the one to bump a thread.

Is it possible for me to go to a Norway prison or will they just deport me and send me back to the American death camps?

I don't mind saving up for a flight to Norway and then doing some crimes to get me thrown in jail. I draw the line at murder, but I don't mind stealing or armed robbery.

I'm talking about its popular culture and entertainment scene, especially the doujin scene.
For example, imagine if event like Comiket happened in America. Everyone attending would get sued to death by comic publishers.

Not to mention all those 'weird' Japanese porn. If moralfags got so worked up over something as mild as Rapelay, imagine the shitstorm if they see those countless loli gangrape doujins.

There's some weird fair use/parody law that lets you make porn.

So for some reason you can do a Scooby-Doo porn parody video, but you can't make a retranslation patch of a Final Fantasy game.

Bootlegs are crazy popular at Comic-Con. And those aren't derivative works, those are actually copying someone else's content and burning it to a DVD.
