>>141162780
they start threads using the word newfag

When they start shitting on yuri.

She's pretty smug, but I don't think she can take on the loli from Monobeno. She is like a singularity of smugness. A smugularity.

>>141162780
If they don't like lolicon+femdom, then usually it just means they have shit taste. If they don't like lolicon at all though then they are surely newfags that do not belong on this board.

Hey man if you've discovered a way to objectively assess the quality of an artwork you should publish a paper on it, because that's quite literally revolutionary.

My favourite is when they save a thumbnail and then are confused about what happened to their image when the post it

I think it's mostly to do with not being normally seen outside of 4chan.

>>141162780
When they use phrases like "audience self-insert" and "pandering" to critique something, as if how other people receive the work has anything to do with the work itself.

Good question, what is the point of going around criticizing stuff people like? Surely there are constructive things you could be doing instead?

>>141164831
Nothing wrong with loosing the fun and abandoning a meme after others stole it.
It's not ours anymore and we don't want to be associated with it.

Newfags are extremely obvious to notice./r/ threads, wanting to talk about an anime without making an obligatory bait OP, sadpanda etc.

Most of the shit people complain about is actually just /a/ regulars. Oldfags aren't like they were back in the old day. Oldfags are pretty damn cancerous and make up a wide majority of posters on this board.

Somewhat related question. When you say "I've been here since 200x", what exactly do you mean? Is 200x the year in which you discovered 4chan? Is it the year in which you started browsing and visiting 4chan on a daily basis? Is it the year when you visited /a/ for the first time? Is it the year when you started posting on /a/ on a daily basis? Is it the year when you started watching seasonal anime with /a/?

Usually it means this.

>>141165860
Eh, not really. Sure sometimes you will but I find it pretty easy from the tone of the post and replies to it. Be a little cautious when you're new, sure, but it's not too hard to figure out. I think I'm pretty good at telling when someone's posting seriously or baiting in general though, so maybe it's not the same for everyone.
I started posting after only a little lurking, and there was only one time I was called out for doing something against board culture, and it was one of my very first posts.
And no matter how much you lurk you can always fall for fandom-specific memes and pasta.

I finally found out how people become autistic

In the pursuit of trying to understand an autist, they slowly pick up the autist's mindset and become an autist themselves.

>>141165762
Yeah, but that's what fleeting things are for. To enjoy in the moment and look back on fondly for a brief second like "oh yeah, I remember that." It's not like we're all going to be watching the same seasonal anime for decades, you know? We appreciate it in the moment and move on to the next thing, very few things have the staying power to maintain our attention for so long and end up getting lost in time somewhere along the way. It can be depressing to think about but again, that's just how life is. Sometimes it's better for your emotional health just to not think about it and enjoy these things in the moment as we do. That's what they're for, after all.

Not if you lurk more.

The thing that proves to me how much more casual it is than it used to be is the posting stats on the archive. If you look, almost all of the top posting tripfags are still from the 2007 - 2009 era.

Just think about that. In a couple years, these dude lurked and posted more than everyone in the subsequent 7 years or so. If you weren't lurking at least 15 hours a day you didn't know anything back then.

I think of a true oldfag as someone who knows the entire board. Even if you don't like Naruto, browsing an occasional Naruto thread can be interesting, because some of those people will also be posting in threads you do read.
Same applies to the other boards: I wonder sometimes how many anons have even visited all of them once.

Easiest way is to check the one page threads. Terminology like "spoonfeeding" didn't begin to develop on 4chan until the summer of 2014. I'm sure some older impressionable residents have picked up on it, but most people who view expanding awareness of a show as a negative thing are from the influx of summer 2014 newfags and the even more recent arrivals. I've yet to trace what community they originated from. If anyone has an idea of their source that they can back up with evidence, I'd appreciate it. For history.

Here's your litmus test for tonight

>>141166360
Yeah, but part of what annoys me is people that basically deny that they enjoyed it.

Like if I had fun with something at an earlier point in time, even if I know it's not as good as I thought it was and I wouldn't like it now, I look back on it with a positive view because at the time in brought be happiness. I look back on the "emo" bands I used to like as a young teen with fondness even though I've outgrown them.

I don't like it when people seem to rewrite history and deny things they enjoyed in the past. You don't have to still like it, but accept that it made you happy at some point, and there are others who might get the same joy from it too.

I'm not sure if I'm getting my point across very well.

>>141166937
Not him, but use your gut feeling.

I picked up NichiBros entirely on my own, without relying on /a/'s taste. It just seemed like a great comedy, and I was right.

I wasn't even in the threads, because /a/ almost always ruins your enjoyment of anime.

>>141166530
Following the rules and reminding others to do the same has nothing to do with the mods.
They are mostly only brought up to examplify past mod actions and to lament their incompetent rule enforcement.

>>141162780

>>141166788
It was never about yuri, always about yurifags. They're some of the most easily triggered people on the board and lash out against anyone who doesn't share their worldview. They're like the Americans of the anime community.

>>141166990
>Shonen,Seinen etc. are genres
they are not?

>>141166945
It's usually due to having some kind of shame with having liked "x" in the past, but I don't think that the people "denying" that the liked something think that privately.

There's no way that someone can force themselves to forgot something they liked despite what they think now.

>>141166723

They're demographics
K-On! and Berserk are both Seinen.

>>141166579
Just to clarify, when you say /co/ shit you mean garbage like tumblr universe, not western animation as a whole because older animation from the golden era had an influence on anime during its infancy.

>>141167211
they are demographic not a genre I cringe everytime Newfags say Battle shonen or Shonenshit

>>141165981
i came to /b/ in 2005 because my brother was on it and i lurked for 2 years before posting

>>141167211
They're demographics. Shounen=boy, Senein=men as I'm sure you're aware. For some reason, a lot of people decided that they didn't count as genres anymore despite having recognisable trends

>>141166788
Everyone gets so upset when someone pairs two girls together, it's retarded. Especially when there is obvious yuribaiting or homoshit in the series.

I don't understand why you're not allowed to like a little yuri every now and then. The real problem is people saying "hetshit" or complaining Love Lab isn't yuri. Those are the real shitters.
But simply liking cute girls doing cute things homosexually is fine.

>>141167097
>ugh ... I can't even

Yes, but there's no point in posting western animation here.

>>141167290
I don't know if /co/ talks about older animation ever, but the ones that post the tumblr artstyle shows and Rick & Morty are the /co/shit cancer.

Not him, but a demographic is an example of a genre. Shounen and seinen are genres, just as they are media.
Genre is a stupidly broad word that really does include any and every kind of category in art.

The thing about the term "normie" is that it has lost its meaning. The main user of the word is probably r9k, but r9k became a "normie" board years ago.

>>141167285
>>141167322
>>141167360
yeah but shows aimed at the same demographic usually have same elements or tone. you don't go into shonen ai expecting a serious action show.

>>141167411
A manga about a single man raising a little girl is published in a magazine for women.
A gag manga including references to 40 year old anime franchises is published in a magazine for young boys.

Using the demographic to describe a piece of media is pointless.
