/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Sup /b2/. Consider the following.

"One Toshiaki (the default name for an anonymous poster ) is as good (or as much a loser) as another." There is no reason for anyone to feel like they stand out as someone important in this Japanese community. If nicknames were used, as the creator of the board Hiroyuki Nishimura once explained in an interview, those people would gain authority in this network over time... an authority which would make it harder for others to tell them "what you say is wrong/boring/lame." Nishimura says, “All information is treated equally; only an accurate argument will work.” And: "People can only truly discuss something when they don’t know each other."

This is the reason why tripfags suck. They seek to become celebrities on /jp/ without actually contributing anything to the board. All of the tripfags vs. anon 'wars' come about because an anon/tripfag recognizes and dislikes a certain tripfag/other tripfag.

As it is now, /jp/ is basically /b/'s content with /a/'s tripfags. /jp/ would be much more capable of intelligent conversation if there wasn't a constant tripfag circlejerk/attention whoring fest with faggots holding grudges against other faggots that they can so easily recognize by their tripcode.

You could argue that the one holding the grudge is the cause for the 'cancer' here, but why do tripfags find it so necessary to attention whore? The vast majority don't even contribute, so they have nothing to be recognized for.

When it comes down to it, tripfags attention whore because of their low self-esteem in reality, and want to feel important on a primarily anonymous imageboard. Take a look in the mirror and tell me I'm wrong.

Just don't pay attention to the name field. I barely remember it's there most of the time.

I don't see how this is related to /jp/.

Yeah yeah we all know that what can we do about it

It's more the threads-being-derailed-from-tripfag-arguments thing than the actual fact that the tripcode is there. I'm just as eager to call an anon a faggot as I am with a tripfag, but every time I do it to a tripfag it seems like it just stirs shit up.

Except tripfriends don't really gain the sort of "authority" that normally shows up in your stereotypical post-counting phpbb forum, so your point is invalid.

Also, what kind of retard would want to become an internet celebrity? That's like becoming an RL celebrity, except without the oodles of cash that come with being a real celebrity.

Then I got to this point
>All of the tripfags vs. anon 'wars' [...]
and realized that this is probably copy and paste from another board.

Hence why it was marked with apostrophes. I just figured the resident /b/tards like yourself used that term to describe this sort of thing.

Possibly /a/ copypasta. Tripfags in neo-/a/ are really horrible attention whores.

You didn't realize it when it started out with "Sup /b2/"? Think what you may of /jp/, but anywhere close to /b/ it is not.

Those are single quotation marks, not apostrophes.

I have some bad news for you...

It isn't, really. Especially when you compare it to /a/ or /v/.
