I'm quoting Tewi.

Can someone explain to me the point of /jp/? Literally all I know about it is that aside from a rhythm games general and a fleshlight general, it's 100% touhou and anime-themed [s4s]-tier shitposting.

>>15216
I only visit the idol threads. The point is 2hu containment.

>>15215
guess that makes tewi a faggot

>>15216

it's just japan-related shitposting

>>15216
Generals are shit, they are the shitposts. /s4s/ is entirely unrelated.
/jp/ is for cultured discussion of otaku matter while simultaneously having many high-quality funposts.

People used to talk about tea, spaghetti, and actual interesting cultural stuff, but fetish discussion about 2hu characters is more important clearly. She wants you to sniff her feet you know.

The real problem with /jp/ (other than any beef you might have with the mods) is that any thread of general interest has to fight with 50 fetish threads and 50 general threads just to stay on the front page where people will see it.

>>15257
>>15262
Fuck! This is so upsetting, when is an archive going to archive /vip/ threads?

>>15271
All my knowledge about maccha (clearly the superior green tea) and tea ceremonies comes from anime, so probably not.

>>15287
I agree. This has forced me to use the catalog, when I have the javascript enabled to use it. At this point, there are so few threads that aren't generals or /h/, I look in nearly every single thread that isn't a general or /h/ thread.

I see the generals and low-quality post problem plagues /jp/ as well. How do we solve generals, /vip/?

I still wonder whether it wouldn't be better to allow any board to create subdivisions of itself for a particular theme, which would effectively replace the current generals

Then you could browse the board hieararchy at any level you want, and choose whether or not to include sub-boards in your index/catalog

>>15434
I think he's talking about the built-in archive (and also missing the point, if that's the case)?

>>15436
Create /jpg/.

>>15436
It would be worse. That would turn 4chan into Reddit. A different imageboard has already tried to use the subreddit mentality.
With generals, we're almost Reddit, but we are not Reddit itself yet.

>>15452
And hide it from the index if needed.

>>15452
Do we really want a /Xg/ for every /X/ though? I think the profileration of generals is a symptom of a flaw in the system, at any rate

That said, the problem with “containing” low-quality content by moving it off to a separate board will never truly solve it, because the cultures will still mix over time, dilluting your own content instead.

4chan is pretty much the living example of that, as it has been getting progressively more and more dilluted by every major wave of activity whenever 4chan gets popular on the mass media for whatever reason

>>15461
I suppose. Plus, lack of user control over the site has been part of 4chan's culture pretty much forever.

>>15479
You're correct that /Xg/ boards don't solve the problem, but I don't think they mix their culture with other cultures much. People who post in generals typically are very insular, only looking for specific generals and not posting outside them. You can notice this by picking a board, going into a regular thread and a general thread, and finding the cultures and standards of grammar and vocabulary to be entirely different, even on the same board.

The cultures have already been put into a blender and processed on high. If anything, it would have been useful for 4chan to create more boards for the newcomers, so as to build rings of defense-in-depth for the website where people could associate with their own kind. Take /trash/. By all accounts it's a shit board full of people you don't like, but they don't bother you, so what does it matter?

>I think the profileration of generals is a symptom of a flaw in the system, at any rate.
The profileration of generals is a problem that occurs whenever a subcommunity wants to talk about a thing that isn't of general interest to the community. It's not going anywhere.

Japanese culture is all about "3d" as you call it, my little newfriend-weeb. Your niche 2hu autism was never a significant part of it or /jp/.

>Why yes, that thread belongs in /s/ too. What about it?

You are not a mod or even a janitor to decide which thread is relevant to the board or not. So called "3d", idols and JAV are all old and well appreciated threads on /jp/, most likely way older than you are as well.
Your opinion was revealed, denied and trashed.

Now you have my permission to stop replying to MY posts and start lurking more with read-only for the next decade.

>>15552

3D and idols are old as shit, but JAV is a relatively new addition to /jp/, if only because meido used to keep it out.

This'll keep the new threads flowing and prevent people from making themselves little "sub-reddits" on the board.

projection would be if i only thought women were ugly because of issues with my own appearance. however, this is a flawed premise, as i am not a woman and do not relate to women in any way, thus i would not project on them if this was about me. if i really hated myself, i would say nasty things about nerds and men; however, the exact opposite is true, as i think nerds are great and men are by far the superior sex as far as being friends with or accomplishing important things

in the end, the real reason i prefer it is personal preference, but 3d has blemishes and imperfections. it's also made up of women, and fuck if i'd EVER want to deal with real women.

>More like simplified and degraded for Japanese kids or teenagers. Doesn't require much work to do, easy to make and is cheap as well.

I like this analogy better.
Mother nature draws a circle: it is the Earth and it is covered in hills and valleys. Mother nature also makes humanity.
Humanity draws a circle: to the naked eye, it is flawless, but it does have flaws. Humanity also makes computers.
Computers draw a circle: as flawless as possible given the medium

Also, the fewer dimensions, the easier it is to achieve perfection. A 3D takes up infinitely more space than a 2D so it is infinitely less perfect.

You sound like a salty loser who's not getting attention of 3d girls because you are a beta virgin who has no idea how to act and be manly and that's what turned you into a stereotypical escapist weeb who does nothing and puts no effort but gets free fap material anyway.

Really common story but I bet you see yourself as a special snowflake.

>yes, i'm sure all those doujin artists are aiming for the 12 and under audience

Not all doujins are porn. And doujins are completely insignificant in Japan anyway, it's just a niche shit for local losers. You can find some welfare niggers in USA too, basically the same thing.

ok, again, YOU'RE the one projecting here. i don't know how else i can say this: i don't like real women and i don't want anything to do with them. i know you might find this hard to believe, as you've probably been brainwashed since childhood into believing that all men want nothing more than to fuck slutty women (which is demonstrably false purely by pointing out the existence of gays, asexuals, etc.), but i. just. don't. like. women. they're usually ugly, always smelly, and very frequently absolutely terrible people.

now, if they came up with robotic 3d waifus with perfect skin and hair who didn't smell like shit and loved me unconditionally, maybe i'd be interested. but 3d doesn't offer that at the moment, so fuck 'em. i'm where i want to be in life: at a job where i can shitpost on 4chan and play video games all day and able to pursue my hobbies and interests at night with a convenient way to deal with sexual urges.

>I bet you are the one of "those people" who dream to move to Japan because of their delusional weeb dreams lmao.
i think your suggestion that i was projection was, itself, projection at this point, seeing as how you do it like every two lines and i haven't done it once. i've been completely honest about my own tastes and preferences and you've done nothing but try to assume things about me that aren't true, which strongly suggests to me that those things are things that are true about yourself.

The nature doesn't give a shit about your personal "I don't like this, I don't like that. Humanity proved it absolutely correct as it developed and raised in numbers.
Muh asexuals, faggots and other creeps are statistically irrelevant and completely insignificant for the human kind. Modern fags are nothing else but an artificial product of media - typical vocal minority that became trendy. Literally fucking irrelevant despite EU/US efforts to force it.

You are projecting your ugliness and it's really easy to see that you have traumatic experience, that's your own fault and tragedy, not their. Generalizing them as "very frequently absolutely terrible people" is just screaming of your insecurity.

>now, if they came up with robotic 3d waifus with perfect skin and hair who didn't smell like shit and loved me unconditionally, maybe i'd be interested. but 3d doesn't offer that at the moment, so fuck 'em. i'm where i want to be in life: at a job where i can shitpost on 4chan and play video games all day and able to pursue my hobbies and interests at night with a convenient way to deal with sexual urges.

lmfao dude, again, "no u"
like i mean everyone has had shitty experiences in life, but i think the worst experience i've had was my mom dying a few months back, and i liked 2d and eschewed 3d long before that.

like it's really funny to me that you keep complaining that half of my responses are "no u" when half of your responses are some bullshit you made up and tried to pin on me. and then you complain that i'm projecting? of course i'm going to say "no u," what else am i supposed to read from you making shit up about people?

yeah, clearly i'm some sort of horrible person because i don't want some ugly, disloyal slut with emotional problems for my life mate.

since you're fond of making shit up, i'm going to make some shit up. sounds to me like you have self-esteem issues. why are you so obsessed with who someone chooses as their mate? i think it's because you can't imagine someone living a life where they're satisfied with themselves and not being a slave to someone else for happiness. i think you need to work on liking yourself a bit more.
