Is functioning as a dumpster for another board really enough to justify its existence?

Because we have most of the staff on our side. The worst that they have to put up with here is usually child porn once a month or a bit of spam when /b/, /v/, /sp/ and /a/ is down.

>> No.7964615

/jp/ was created solely because moot was tired of Touhou (and to a certain extent, visual novels) on /a/, not because of anything you've written on that image.
Even though the board's shittiness has gone up exponentially recently, it still seems to contain most of the Touhou shit from the rest of 4chan. So, I believe it's doing what it was intended for.

He got sick of Touhou and NSFW shit getting spammed on /a/ and for a long time he tolerated it. He could have easily just said "pack up your shit and post it /b/" but instead he created the loving little nest of fortune that we have here today.

He was a shitty poster on forums and is incapable of having a simple discussion that doesn't result in him sperging out.

>> No.7964638

If anything, /a/ thought that /jp/ weren't normalfags enough, or rather, they didn't like that /jp/ wasn't all "anime&manga". That's practically the reason for it. It's no less weird of a board than /m/ is.

Simple answer: yes.
So Moot decided. He could have made a board specifically for touhou (like 2chan did) but he didn't want to, so he rather opted for "otaku culture" instead.
If you have a problem with that you should tell it to Moot not /jp/ really. What /jp/ thinks is really irrelevant, Moot doesn't really care.

I feel a sort of pride that they were interested in /jp/.

If I recall, they freaked the fuck out in chat when they caught a glimpse of an Alice thread scrolling past between the "FUCK YOU MOOT" and "WHY IS MOOT SUCH A FAGGOT" threads.

>> No.7964738

moot couldnt beat perfect freeze in easy modo so the touhoufags made fun of him. Because of this he decided to ban touhou in /a/ and made /jp/.
Later, he tried to have a meetup with /jp/ lurkers but got insulted and ignored and thread ban most of the /jp/ people.
Since then he have been in full buttfrustration mode with /jp/ and always try to troll /jp/ whenever he got the chance by changing their name, pudding spamming and etc. Getting embarrassed by /jp/ infront of the nico livestream further add into his wound.
Basically he is still mad at /jp/ after all this years.

/jp/ is where the true oldfags and the highest of powerlevels reside. Most people on /jp/ have seen more anime series than 10+ average f/a/ggots combined. In addition a lot of people on /jp/ can watch anime without waiting for subs like you fucking faggot babbys. Generally, /a/ looks to each other for approval of things, while /jp/ looks inward at itself instead of relies on a hivemind mentality. Also /a/ has no OC besides shitty image macro memes that get old within a week; /jp/ translates VNs, games and has doujin translation teams that regularly post there. People at /jp/ know your own boards' subject far, far better than you do, fucking dream on if you think you have any kind of superiority in any way whatsoever.

We sneer at you fucking newfags/normalfags, your shonenshit Big 3 threads, quasi-/v/ mentality and everything else that makes /a/ suck fucking balls. /jp/ is a better board than /a/ could ever dream to be because most of you f/a/ggots are, in our eyes, eternal newfags, aka there is nothing you could ever say or do to bring yourself up to our level, because you aren't true oldfags. You're G/a/ia, you're ANN and MAL trash now. Stay away, we don't want you in /jp/, not now, not ever. Go on and continue existing in your own world of shit thinking that it's any good, while the master race quietly resides separated from you mongoloids.

/jp/ was meant to be a place for everything of the modern japanese culture not popular in the West.
That's why anime, movies and translated VN are not allowed.

Although thanks to the XXI century weeaboo boom (weeaboom) there are only a few things that fall under that category nowadays.
/jp/ was doomed from the begining...

Things are fine as is. /jp/ acts a dumpsters for /a/, and in a way, vice versa. The only people who think it's not fine are buttflustered normals who want to cause trouble.

>> No.7964921

>>7964891
It was meant to turn /a/ "pure", meaning, "anime&manga". Because that's how moot liked it and many pestered him about it.
/jp/ isn't for everything that doesn't go in /a/, meaning, if people starts to dump shit in /a/ it doesn't mean it should go here, it should still go to /b/.
However, /jp/ is for the sake of /a/'s purity, about the stuff that was posted on /a/ at the time but wasn't deemed to be "/a/ enough", or more direct, wasn't anime or manga. It didn't even matter if they were direct adaptations or originals of anime/manga, you still got banend for it in order to keep /a/ purely anime and manga.

Now, the things that makes up /jp/, happens to be, or at least have been stuff, that wasn't popular at the time. The fact that people didn't understand it is most likely one of the main reasons as to why people bugged moot about it in the first place.
But still, it doesn't change the fact for how /jp/ was made for the stuff that wasn't deemed to be "/a/ enough" when it was a "problem".

Started? Only just now? It's been like that for a long time. This is why /jp/ is just as grateful for the existence of /a/ as /a/ should be for the existence of /jp/. It keeps the normals out.

>and in a way, vice versa
I always liked this part. Not to sound like a prude or anythng, but I personally was never really into anime and manga and that stuff so much. Even less so, did I want to discuss it with people.

Now /jp/ stuff however, that's what I had interests in.
Galge, Eroge, Doujin games, music and soft. That kind of stuff.
They even banned people for that kind of stuff, so I don't see why I should care.
I am still waiting for a Princess Maker translation though. Good luck PM5 guys! I have hope in you.

What? No. Sorry, but that's not exactly entirely true.
It is no more "Otaku Culture - Anything Otaku welcome!" as it is "Japanese/General - Anything Japanese welcome!"
Which would happen to be, not that much at all.

/jp/ is for what wasn't deemed to be /a/ enough around the time of the split. It's as simple as that.

/jp/ really is just touhou and shitposting. /a/ has vn threads and figure threads on a regular basis.

>/a/ has vn threads and figure threads on a regular basis.
Yeah I know. And the irony of it all is overflowing, especially when they talk about it as if that have always been the case.

Still, it doesn't mean that stuff technically goes there. According to the rules, it should still technically warrant a ban, consider how they have never officially changed anything.
But I don't really care, if anything it's good that /a/ stays on /a/ no matter what they want to discuss, or at least I assume that to be good.

We just got stuck with the crazy janitor with OCD.

/a/ janitor is simply a lot more sensible if he allows all those Blazblue threads, figure threads, VN threads, etc. He's basically doing what >>7965189,1 said: letting /a/ stay on /a/ and such.

We need to let /jp/ stay on /jp/. I think it would stop a lot of the sperging here actually. But until then just post whatever I say.

>> No.7965189,5 [INTERNAL] 

>>7965189,2
The crucial difference is that the post speed and user population in both /a/ and /v/ are currently beyond moderation. It's not that they are more lenient in those boards, but rather that they're incapable of doing more than taking care of the highest offenses. And let's not forget that currently there are no board specific mods or janitors, it's not like they are different people handling each board.

You're pretty misguided, let's just leave it at that.

>> No.7965189,6 [INTERNAL] 

>>7965189,5
This is broscience because the janitors do watch the "off-topic" threads I mentioned. Non-worksafe, troll posts and such do get pruned. So thus they are indeed more lenient if they A) are aware of the thread's existence and B) allow it and keep on eye on the thread for offending posts.

Anyways I saw this in the archived thread:

>>-Blazblue is always /a/ related
>>-Ar Tonelico games go to /jp/
>>-Nerf guns go to /k/
>>-Airsoft guns go to /toy/
>>-Monstergirls & rance threads are accepted almost everywhere

You can hear the people with OCD almost screaming in unison. We need to get more stuff accepted in /jp/.
