/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

Dear /jp/:

I come to you all with a small personal problem. I love anime. anime comes from japan and liking anime and not being a complete faggot about it makes you an "otaku" apperently. My question is this, can I stop openly hating /jp/ because its basically /a/ except that it is more interesting and not full of retarded narutards and bleach fanboys?

Any critism/faggotry is welcome. Not trying to start a flame war I just want to feel better for actually trying to be adult about this.

also, I love miku.

>liking anime and not being a complete faggot about it makes you an "otaku" apperently
No, not at all. Otaku is a derogatory term.
Go back to /a/.

Don't stop the flow of hate. /jp/ just wouldn't be the same without the hate.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5830533
you know, you're fucking correct. I am a sheep. I've never had the balls to say what I really mean because I hate the possibility of someone hating me. fuck, here I am, on an anonymous image board, and I can't even tell you guys what I really feel. I guess if I had to be truly honest with everyone, I always hated people that "worship" different anime like naruto or code geass like its the only fucking thing in there life that they have to look forward to. I remember when I used to consinder myself an "otaku" or what ever only because I used to fap constantly to every fucking hentai imaginable. I just feel that /a/ and /jp/ are the same except for the fact that you guys are mentally more mature than everyone else in my opinion. I don't know anymore what it is to be an "anime/otaku" fan.

Why the fuck do you feel the need to label yourself as an otaku? Stop being a fucking sheep and a faggot.

Nobody give a shit about that.
"Hi, my name is A-san I am huge otaku."
That only make you look a like a huge faggot.

Protip: otaku is not a status symbol it is a derogatory term.

/jp/ is not anime, /jp/ is Touhou and visual novels. If you do not like these, you will most likely get bored and leave. If you do come to start to like these, you are welcome to stay. But you are always welcome, even if you don't like them, even if people tell you to go away.

That was the non sequitur of the day, congrats OP.

Also /jp/ loves Miku, despite what you might hear.

Also your definition of otaku is mistaken.

We have daily dose of Teto and Takoluka was used in the /jp/ theme song as well. The only time /jp/ ever showed hostility is when some faggots from other boards came to /jp/ to spam miku all over the place for some stupid "send miku to space" shit.

/jp/ is basically Japan's purgatory. You have to climb the mountain, as you prepare yourself to be accepted into paradise, by learning Japanese and getting addicted to 2D. There's still a community here, people can still talk to each other throughout the tough and humbling journey, but everyone are urged to move forward, towards better places, towards greater happiness.

You truly are more brain dead than I am for what you just said in that post. I'm sure that what you mentioned is what is popular on /jp/ for the time being, but I don't think that is whats required for anyone to be obligated to participate in order to be cool on this board.To catagorize /jp/ers into three things is the highest form of faggotry I believe anyone of you guys could say. Sure, maybe you won't think i'm cool enough to be apart of /jp/, but you're not the one who can decide that. Only I can.

Have nice day.~

Welcome, new user to /jp/ - Otaku Culture! Hah, just kidding, this isn't Otaku Culture. This is Touhou/Visual Novels/Doujin Games.

If you want to discuss the different places you can visit in Japan, I suggest you go to /trv/ (though they also seem to hate Japan there, so don't annoy them too much). If you want to discuss the Japanese language, go to /lang/ (yes, 4chan has text boards!). If you want to discuss anime and manga, go to /a/ (some series that are based on light novels/VNs/games like Marimite and Higurashi can also be discussed in /jp/, it really depends, so lurk a bit to see what's acceptable). Finally, if you want to talk about Japanese history and culture, go somewhere else, nobody here knows or cares for that stuff.

/jp/ was created as a board to get rid of Touhou and visual novels from /a/, it was never intended to be a board about Japanese culture. Most of the users here don't care about Japan, we only care about lolis and doujin games.

Ok, you already learned the true meaning of /jp/, but you aren't ready to post yet!

There are some rules you have to respect in /jp/ if you really want to be accepted!

Rule 1: Take it easy - We don't care about how inuyashasgirlfriend1997 made the most retarded weeaboo video in youtube and you "raged" for 26 minutes to it while killing your cat with your keyboard in the process. Or how some kid in Gaia plays Touhou and FS/N. We just take it easy, since we know the cause of most of these things are kids acting like kids (and if they aren't kids, we know they are just retards). This also means we don't want stupid drama.

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 2: Don't respond to trolls - If some guy posted something really stupid and provocative that made you angry and you want to kill him, don't respond to him. Don't even bother to tell him off while using sage; it's most likely a troll that just wants some replies. In /jp/, troll threads tend to be really easy to spot, so there's really no excuse for this. If too many people get baited, it will end up in a stupid 200 post long drama thread nobody wants to see in the first page.

Rule 3: Don't use smilies - Smilies aren't accepted in /jp/, please refrain from using them. We are all heartless bastards who don't want to see what kind of faces you make IRL while posting (This also applies to reaction images, if you want to post them so badly go to /a/ or /v/) Exceptions: ;_; (Life-like texture ;_;), 2ch smilies and ransmirk.jpg

Rule 4: Keep your memes in your board - We aren't meme fans, try to keep your memes in /b/. However, as every board in 4chan, we have our own memes too (even if we don't spam them all the time like in /b/). the most common ones are: The Pleasure of Being Cummed Inside (/lounge/ forced meme, became the generic response to every translation request), Japanese Bird Cooking pasta (forced meme that became popular), Hoopdog/Awesomedog (HOLY SHIT A DOG JUMPING 8 HOOPS ON FLAMES).

Rule 5: Irony is art - Sarcasm and irony are funny, however "LOL I DONT LIKE THIS SO I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A RETARD XD" isn't accepted. Acting like a retard to "mock" something you dislike only makes you worse than the people you are trying to mock. Neither is spamming the board with stupid shit just to be funny.

Rule 6: Be tolerant - This is 4chan, it's impossible to post here without being insulted at least once. We don't want this to become a forum, but we don't want this to become /b/ either; just try to be kind the most you can, excessive swearing and "rage" isn't cool.

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 7: Trolling - Trolling is fun, but it's too easy to generate stupid, annoying drama too easily, especially when you overdo it. Try to avoid trolling unless you can make it funny. More importantly, don't keep pressing when everyone is already annoyed of your shit, it's not clever at all. Please know when to stop.

Rule 8: GETs - GETs are dumb and boring, nobody cares about a stupid number. Don't act surprised if somebody scores a GET and people don't react to it. Just ignore it.

Rule ⑨: Requests - If you want to download "X," check /rs/ first. If it fails (and is porn), you can also try /r/. If that fails too, try Google. Also check the archive (archive.easymodo.net), it has a nice search feature. If it's an image someone posted, you can try the [View same] feature in the archive or iqdb.yi.org. Also try anisearch.net, it's a search engine for the *boorus. If you want the source of a doujin some anon posted, check the filename first, you don't want to be a dumbass that asked /jp/ for source on something that can be easily recognized by the filename. If everything failed, then ask /jp/.

Rule 10: Reports - Nobody cares if you reported a thread, it's not like the OP is going to delete the thread just because you reported it. Don't make single-word post saying "reported," it only leads to dumb meta-arguments about what "/jp/ really is about."

Rule 11: Imagedumps - Yes, we all know about the boorus, anisearch and Google Image Search, but we aren't going to stop posting imagedumps just because you don't like them. Go to a text board if you don't like imagedumps or just hide them using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

Rule 12: Don't be a "normalfag" - Most of the users here are loser weeaboo "NEET"s. Nobody cares if your girlfriend is a supermodel or if you are more successful than us, we enjoy our way of living, even if we feel lonely.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5830909
Please don't do this. Posting that will make me remember Suigin again. COME BACK TO US SUIGIN ;_;

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 13: Sage - In general, sage doesn't have a negative connotation in /jp/. It doesn't mean "I HATE YOUR POST," it's just a command that lets you post without bumping. Sagebombing is also fucking retarded, a single bump can ruin your entire sagebomb and if you reach the bump limit the OP can just recreate the thread. If you don't like a thread, just hide it using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

Rule 14: Grammar and spelling - Type coherently. Firefox has a spell checker, there's no excuse. Also use proper capitalization and punctuation. Yes, we actually care about that.

Rule 15: Tripcodes - Using a tripcode or name will instantly turn you into an attention whore. Don't use one without a good reason if you don't want to be hated by every anon.

Rule 16: Don't post an ambiguous /h/ doujin/picture without the source. Otherwise you'll start a "sauce request" shitstorm. If you don't have the source, then please specify it in your post so that you'll save your fellow /jp/ers some time by not having to ask you for the source.

Rule 17: Don't roleplay - Roleplaying is retarded, if you want to roleplay, go somewhere else.

FAQ:

HOW DO I PLAY TOUHOU?:
Practice, nobody here was born with a silly hat, a frilly dress, and the ability to dodge bullets. Watching replays is also recommended.

MOOT WHY DID YOU MAKE ANOTHER WEEABOO BOARD?
He didn't want to see us in his precious /a/, because we are the part of ADTRW who got banned for liking loli and because he hates Touhou and visual novels.

WHAT IS "X" THING?
Ask politely and some kind member will respond you.

THAT GUY INSULTED ME WHAT DO I DO?
Take it easy, we don't want to see you fighting with your e-peen saber.

No you can't. Are you just stupid or choose to ignore how things work? You aren't a part of a football team when you don't play football, don't go to the games, don't cheer for them or at least talk about it with others. /jp/ is the same motherfucking way. You don't belong in here, /jp/ wasn't designed for your types. You don't go to /a/ talking about video games it's just wrong. You don't come into /jp/ talking about how you think anime is cool and expect people to respect you. /jp/ is meant for the fallout. The niche. The damnly finest parts of the worst part of Japan.

You belong in /a/. You should go back there and try to enjoy yourself. You'll be nothing but a troll here in /jp/.

/jp/ is an open message board on the internet faggot. we're not all the same, we're not your club, we're not friends, there's no "we" at all. there's no such thing as being a part of /jp/, it's just an imageboard open to and used by random people from all over.

deal with it

if you want an exclusive club where you can make sure everyone is the same and control who is reading and who isn't, try a real forum.

a lot of frustrated virgin nerds who never had friends in high school try to build this place into their own exclusive social club, probably to compensate themselves for having always felt excluded and left out in their early lives. But please don't project your mental problems onto this message board. It's just a message board.
