you guys did it to yourselves when other threads on /co/ had ponies in them 24-7, I remember discussing Hellboy in Mexico or something and Ponies wouldn't stop pony posting

I don't even hate ponies but I hate obnoxious shitposting

MLP is going to be over soon anyways, I hear it's dying out and losing followers, right?

>>2328
I used to go to /mu/ but it died over time

after Death Grips it seemed to lose steam

>>2348
Do you not remember short after where it was discovered there was literally organized shitposting where people would post ponies as easy b8 and literally compare (You) scores? It wasn't us, not the vast majority anyway.

>>2329
I read k for fun sometimes because it's a good on topic board with fun innawoods unnaground threads but I don't even have a gun

>>2348
Sure, it was probably super frustrating but that was long ago anon and the pony spam has been dead for years.

The fandom is pretty much small and stable, the show still exists but there probably won't be many more seasons (if any). After the movie next year that might be the end of the ride.

>>2246
/vp/ ~ pretty exciting times right now with the new games coming out soon

/jp/ ~ Still spammed to shit with touhou. Nothing new, move along

/trash/ ~ Pretty cool place, though the quality has definitely gone down hence in the trash

/mlp/ ~ it's just as terrible as before. The 6th anniversary is upcoming though and that's at least somewhat exciting (?)

I sometimes go to /v/ to talk about game i play mostly Fighting games.
Most of the time those threads are okay but otherwise the board is complet shit with no redeeming quality

I would probably have gotten shit for saying i use /v/ on /a/ but i wouldn't have it any other way
95% of /v/ users post like they are 12

>>2246
/pol/ - still lots of interesting and hilarious OC being posted. Happening threads are always comfy. Kinda sucks that every single person who goes against the circlejerk just a little bit is called a shill. Threads about actual political ideology are very shallow. It would be nice to have some discussion about building a real right-wing movement for the 21st century, rather than just "lol 1488 race war" spam.

/d/ - Awesome as ever. Gentle femdom threads sort of got unbanned, which is great because it's my favorite fetish. The community seemed to affirm that they like having discussion and other text-heavy threads on the board. Still learning about crazy new fetishes every week. It's probably the best sex-related community on the internet that I know of.

Those are the major ones I visit now. Past home boards include /x/, /r9k/, and /vr/. Oh, and I visit /s/ about once a day.

It's okay, I forgive you guys and those shitposters

it's so long ago now and MLP was NEVER as bad as POL is right now

besides, I ironically laughed at pony porn being posted and called them ponyfuckers

BUT over time I was worn down and that lead to me actually looking up tons of clop shit because of the corruption. the longer you spend online the more fetish shit you pick up, normal shit doesn't even do it for me anymore and clop was just another step. never even watched the show

/a/ is great and I love it. Best English-language anime community on the web.

/b/ has seen better days, it's basically a porn board now. I miss the storytime threads we used to have there. Though they still do happen on rare occasions. I wish general porn threads would be banned on that board.

/lgbt/ needs better moderators, simple rules like avatarfagging are just not enforced there.

/w/ is wonderful. I don't contribute because I have no talent but it's got an active and talented community that eagerly fill requests.

/lit/ is awful, nobody actually reads new books, they're just hung up on the classics. And the discussion tends to devolve into masturbatory name-dropping. Too much focus on American lit, also.

/tv/ has great board culture and I think the funniest memes come out of there. Baneposting will literally never stop being funny.

/wsr/ is the best new board, full of great people.

/pol/ is impossible for non-Americans to use because of the election but the election is such a shit show that I don't even mind, really.

I used to go on /mu/ but now it's too full of hip hop and Fantano dickriders.

/b/ is fun, it's interesting to see all the weird shit people come up with. I hope /vip/ can become a sfw /b/, the pass restriction means we'll have less newfags for sure, newfags won't spend $15 to post here. They probably wouldn't even know we exist, we don't show up on the homepage yet and newfags don't check the little news area.

>>2785
Hi there. Maybe I can explain things a little bit.

In many ways, /pol/ is the continuation of the old /b/, and raiding and spamming other boards is very much in line with classic 4chan culture. /b/ used to conduct raids on other boards all the time before 2010. No one ever said that 4chan would be a pleasant place for enlightened productive discussion, it's supposed to be a little chaotic. Not to say there isn't a limit, of course. Some people are just dicks.

Now, I think you're right that there's something generally combative in the average /pol/ poster, and I think I can elaborate on that. Many of us are combative because our deeply-held political convictions are taboo on a societal level, and that kind of social pressure would make anyone combative. Many of us are racist in some way or another: that could mean several things, such as, believing that race is a biologically real property, believing that the observed average IQ differences between whites blacks and Asians have a biological root cause, having a general preference to consort with our own race in opposition to the "diversity" narrative that's being so heavily pushed, believing that ethnic separation rather than integration is ultimately what's best for social stability, etc. Being a racist, to most educated people, puts you somewhere around the same ethical level as being a terrorist, perhaps even worse, considering how deeply in love with Islam the left seems to be. It's not something you can admit to in polite company.

We also oppose the culture of political correctness that has been made mandatory in academia, because we think it's injurious to freedom of thought and freedom of expression. What's even worse than merely holding taboo views is the fact that the most educated and powerful among us - professors, government officials, media figures - ...

somewhat correct. the left isn't as widespread as you think it is, but it has gotten bad. the left can't win arguments because they're wrong, so they censor and hide and le upboat groupthink

it's why they don't like /pol/ - because freedom of speech allows the truth and they don't like the truth.

because of that, they have become increasingly abusive and unpleasant. ie. slander (bigot, sexist, racist, etc.) and the aforementioned censorship all over the net, etc.

and that kind of abuse pisses us off, so yes, we're mad, we're right, and we're tired of all the bullshit

I'm not a /pol/tard but I frequently falseflag as one so I'm basically the genuine article. I can say with certainty that /pol/tards do not possess any of the convictions or qualities mention here. If they did, they'd be posting somewhere else. No /pol/ shitposting actually thinks they will convince anyone, nor do they believe their posts will contribute to anything at all. 90% of the time they don't even believe what they are saying, or rather, they don't even think about what they're saying and chances are they haven't ever given it a thought. It's easy to parrot controversial opinions and shitpost to get a rise out of someone.

tl;dr it's a meme, you dip. Look up post-irony and new sincerity.

(cont.)

...have declared by fiat that these views of ours are invalid. Race is a social construction, there is no debate (though see the Stanford Encylopedia of Philosophy's article on Race, specifically the section on racial population naturalism, for a competing academic perspective). There is nothing wrong with whites becoming a minority population in North America and Europe, there is no debate. Hate speeh must be oppressed for the good of women and minorities, there is no debate. You are not even allowed to acknowledge the existence of this leftist movement to which we are opposed. When questioned, they just say "I don't know what a SJW is, I don't know what a leftist is, we are not ideologically motivated, we are merely rational, we are merely rational, we are merely good and just."

So we have a very strange little movement here, of impolite views that would get us laughed out of any enlightened circle. So that would make anyone a little combative. We want to spread and convince others, we want to probe and see who else out there thinks like us. We think what we're fighting for is important. There does come a point where publicity can become bad publicity, but if you make a lot of noise, people get interested.

And before you say "yeah posting on a Mongolian teacup forum is real brave", please stop and consider how deeply important art and culture are for the development of politics. People are hardly ever brought to their political positions by rational arguments. Politics is fundamentally about tribal association; that's why groups like liberals and conservatives cluster around seemingly unrelated positions, because it's fundamentally about building group identity. If you can get people to associate your tribe with warm happy memories of shitposting and frog memes, they'll be much more sympathetic to you and much more likely to join you when it comes to actually important decisions.

No you're definitely right, the SJW left is still a relatively small force in mainstream culture. This is what makes it harder to justify fighting them, because they present little real threat to whites right now. The key point is to realize their potential to become threatening as racial demographics continue to shift.

You're right, it IS taboo to openly declare your hatred of other races. Outside of maybe South Carolina cook outs no one is publicly saying this shit anymore since the 60s. And the world is honestly better than it was back then.

No, that's the left. /pol/ is free speech. 4chan is free speech. look at you, leftist extraordinaire, here shitposting

if I tried the same as a conservative on reddit I would be downvoted into obscurity and/or banned

You are the cowards. we are right and therefore we're not afraid of scrutiny

>awful beliefs

>>3498
Cause I'm not very smart, I guess. I spend lots of my free shitposting time on this site even though I know my politics aren't anywhere close to the average 4chan user. I like the rest of the culture.

I ignore 99% of the /pol/posting in /myboard/ but every once in a while I just get fucking sick of it.

/mu/ for KPOP

I almost exclusively browse /pol/ at this point.

It's important to note that a lot of /pol/ posters will be coming here and spreading propaganda. That's my prediction, at least, since they will be supporting this site while also getting an opportunity to provide information to other posters who normally wouldn't come across it (while also staying on-topic of course).

Also, /pol/ is fucking horrible right now, flooded with slide threads, CTR drones, and juvenile topics. The serious ones may want to migrate.

Anon just scroll up the page to the /pol/ screed openly and proudly self-identifying /pol/ as racists. There may be strawmen you can create on /pol/ but "racist" is pretty accurate.

Also I don't know how you can say that your political views are censored into obscurity when they make up one of the two major American presidential candidates' platforms. And it's not like you can't discuss them on the sites you talk about hating all the time; reddit has a large and popular Trump subreddit, GG subreddits, and so on. There are enormous amounts of /pol/posters all over Twitter. You have pretty much all of talk radio. The "muh censorship" meme is probably the most baffling thing /pol/ posts.

why am I writing any of this, why am I still posting

This is such a huge blog post I actually had to split it into two posts. First part here, second part incoming:

/b/ was my first main board when I discovered the site in 2005. Only browsed it casually at first, didn't even know other boards exist. Got sick of it within a year and started exploring other boards. Haven't posted on /b/ since 2007. I have no idea what goes on that board these days and I'm a bit afraid to find out. How can people still go to a board I left literally a decade ago because of how boring and uninteresting and reposty was it? Does everyone leave /b/ after a year and it's like a revolving door of a board, or are there people who browse /b/ for years and never get tired of seeing the same things over and over again?

After I left /b/, I mostly wandered through different boards. Didn't have a real main board until /r9k/ was made. That one was pretty great for a couple of months, but then moot let roneryfags take over the board. I was glad to see it deleted and I wish it wasn't remade (new one should have been called /wiz/ or something, calling it /r9k/ is just adding insult to injury). I do have to admit that I sometimes lurk on that board because I have a pretty shitty, juvenile sense of humor and find all the frogposting and NEETposting there hilarious.

My next main board was /tg/ and while I always disliked the "you don't even need other boards anymore" meme because of how circlejerky it was, I can honestly say it was my most enjoyable period on 4chan. Then came the nazi mod and revolt against him that literally killed the board and drove off almost everyone from the board. That's when I left the board as well. I would sometimes revisit it to see if it got better but I don't feel like it ever truly recovered. Then came the quest thread flood and generals. I left the board entirely at some point, but I recently started lurking there sometimes after /qst/ was made and it made me remember /tg/.

>>3505
You can hold the beliefs I outlined without being violent. I abhor violence. I wouldn't say I hate any other races, although after spending my whole life in DC and Baltimore, there have been a few times when I've gotten pretty miffed at blacks.

There are probably some mentally unstable types on /pol/ who want a real race war, but I don't support them and
I don't support everything on /pol/.

>>3639
because /pol/ makes everything about them

this was supposed to be a comfy thread

>>3678
Part two of a boring blog no one will read:

After /tg/, the closest thing to a main board I had was /tv/. That was a pretty fun board to browse for a while, but then GoT started airing and attracted a lot of new people to the board and mods started cleaning up the board, which made a lot of interesting people that made /tv/ fun leave, so I kinda lost interest in the board as well. Ironically, mod attempts to clean up the board caused people to spam in protest and this gave birth to Baneposting and we all know what that led to.

I've been watching anime long before I discovered 4chan, and while I did visit /a/ in the past as well, it was only at this point that /a/ really became my main board. It's been my main board ever since, and while there's plenty of things I dislike about it, it's in a much better shape than all the other major boards on this site at least.

Other boards I have browsed a lot over the years are /lit/, /m/, /v/, /new/ (/pol/ not as much), and (pre-flag) /int/. /sp/ during world cups and euros, /vg/ for a few specific generals, and even /co/ for a few web and non-capeshit comics.

When it comes to "major" 4chan boards, I've never been a regular on /fa/, /fit/, /g/, and /mu/. The board I kinda regret not getting into back when it was still relevant is /jp/.

>>3639

>/pol/ screed openly and proudly self-identifying /pol/ as racists.

/pol/ is not one person

>Also I don't know how you can say that your political views are censored into obscurity when they make up one of the two major American presidential candidates' platforms.

I didn't say or mean overall. I just meant on the petty sites controlled by the left.

also, there's much more to /pol/ than Trump. many of us on the right and on /pol/ don't support the guy

>And it's not like you can't discuss them on the sites you talk about hating all the time; reddit has a large and popular Trump subreddit

first, it's a subreddit. second, like the rest of the site, groupthink operates by design (le upboat). and like the rest of the site, censorship on the donald is heavy.

no thanks.

>There are enormous amounts of /pol/posters all over Twitter. You have pretty much all of talk radio.

again, I'm not talking about the world. I'm talking about sites like reddit, the lefty press, and leftists individually in general

you censor and hide because you can't withstand open scrutiny

>>3685
Yeah, I feel bad about posting about /pol/ now. I'm sorry. I want to go back to comfy.

/u/ was sort of a home for me for a while. Lots of threads about specific manga the community is following though, makes it feel like a time investment is required.

>>3737
/pol/ never shits on newfags as long as they say they are right wing.
Half these newfags couldn't even tell you what the difference between the left and right is.
Those same newfags can't handle it when they get told to fuck off on other boards.

also /tg/ but i haven't gone there in a minute.
currently i mostly lurk /vp/, which is really busy in anticipation of sun and moon, and occasionally /r9k/, which is irreparable cancer but i keep going back because its a good general board, rarely.

>>3694
I read it, Anon!

I agree with you about /b/. It's almost surreal to think that people are still posting there, when I left the place like 6 years ago.

/mu/ is mean, I never got into it.

Do you think that /vg/ is generally. Good board?

>>2246
[s4s] - doin gret

>>2246
mainly /pol/ and /a/ here, but /toy/, /co/, /vp/, /tv/, and /r9k/ are all my secondary board.

yes I am a manchild

/tg/, /a/, /f/, and /d/

/tg/ - when was the last time /tg/ made something cool, unfinished or not? I don't pay as much attention as I used to, so maybe I've just missed the good homebrew. I feel like all the people trying to make /tg/ into their personal creative writing community kinda diverted focus away from anything actually related to tabletop games.

/a/ - Seems about the same as it's been for the past couple of years

/f/ - the hubbub about being removed a couple nights ago resulted in an /f/ that was amazingly active. I wish it could always be like that. Still doing its job as a time capsule, people posting youtube rips nonwithstanding.

/d/ - is for duckgirls (it's fine)

>My next main board was /tg/ and while I always disliked the "you don't even need other boards anymore" meme because of how circlejerky it was
I've always found that super annoying.

/tg/ had three distinct period - origins ('07-'09), fantasy /b/, post-mod

Origins /tg/ is probably the best time I've ever had on 4chan. It's were most of the circlejerk-y attitude comes in, but back then /tg/ really was heads and shoulders above every other board I cared to visit.

But then people kept hearing how great /tg/ was and flooding in. Some came for the edition wars (never 4get), some for the stories, some for the "/tg/ gets shit done" (not that much ever got done but we still made cool stuff). And slowly but surely, people began using /tg/ as their board of choice for discussing shit that had nothing to do with /tg/. Monster girls, video games, politics, history, and of course plenty of shitty copy pasta "wat do" stuff. At the end of it there were days when you could look at the front page and the only way you'd know you weren't on /b/ was the abundance of nearly naked elves.

That's when they brought the mod in. He cleaned up the shit, which was absolutely a good thing. But he kept going and banning basically everything he felt like. Post mod /tg/ was nothing like origins /tg/. Sometimes, though, I wonder if that was really the mod's fault or if the noise signal ratio had just gotten too high. In any case, it was preferable to fantasy /b/.

Still, whenever I look at /tg/, I will always remember those halcyon days and think of what could have been.

Now it's basically just /v/ and /a/ occasionally.

Who /g/entoo here?

Most people on /g/ are pure cancer but I love technology so I'll just have to deal with it

>>4097
I like technology, but I don't care very much about consumer electronics, which seems to be the main focus of the board.

Which board has changed the much over the years?

I say /mu/

>>4285
/v/ went through a pretty painful change that was most noticeable through 2011-2016.
/pol/ has also lost a lot of diversity of opinion.

>>4285
/v/ but only because I went in depressed and came out not giving a shit

>>4285
/v/ is horrible now

>>3751
Well it's an anime and manga board and I like anime and manga. Other than that, what sets it apart from most major board is that it's somewhat elitist (but not anywhere near as elitist as some people believe it to be or as some people would want it to be) and that people do look down on most forms of blatant shitposting and try to "protect" their board from what they consider bad influences.

If you watch seasonal (currently airing) anime, and I do, /a/ is a pretty great board because almost every single seasonal anime, no matter how obscure, will get at least some discussion going on a weekly basis.

>>3818
I don't like general threads as a concept and believe they don't really work on 4chan. Due to their nature (must always keep posting or the thread dies), they almost always deteriorate into complete garbage. There have been a few smaller generals on /vg/ that I followed that were surprisingly decent, though. Outside of /vg/, generals on this site should be forced to have a mandatory cool down period. Say, one or two threads a week instead of constantly being up. That would slow them down and allow people to actually come up with stuff they want to talk about instead of just repost the same memes over and over again.

>>4432
That's pretty cool for them to keep up with current anime and not only talk about older stuff. Sort of like how /sp/ keeps up with sporting events or /pol/ with elections.

>>4238
Daily programming thread.txt

/qa/ is best board

>>4479
It can actually be pretty hard to get them to talk about older stuff. Especially since they tend to associate that with "casual" viewers. Not that I really mind.

>>4657
Gross

>>4661
Why would they associate older stuff with casuals? I mean sure there's the ones everybody knows about, but what about all the obscure stuff?

>>4699
Then it's just hard to find people to talk about with because less have seen it.

I've definitely seen some pretty obscure stuff get discussed though.

>>4699
That's a different scenario, but obscure old anime tends to be obscure for a reason though.

Mostly /a/ at the moment. I frequent one thread on /vg/ and shit post on /v/ and /co/. Sometimes I go to /x/ for a laugh.

/pol/ is my most visited board. I go on a few others like /tv/, /s4s/, /x/, and of course /b/ occasionally.

/qst/ is my main board, best part of 4chan, glad tg was removed from my quests.

For example:
An old Magic: the Gathering format called Legacy used to have almost no discussion on /tg/. In a matter of months, it became a regular general with typically the same 50-ish posters discussing their favorite magic format, naming themselves after the deck they played and making banter between each other - see pic. Easily the best magic thread on /tg/ now, and a huge constrast to the shitfest that is the Modern general.

For the most part, probably? I think it's more like a landing zone where people get sucked into 4chan before they get bored of the lulz and start sifting off into more specialized boards based on their interests

Like it or not, without /b/ there would probably be no activity on 4chan today

/g/ is pretty militant against “normies” and windows users as well, but that's probably because it's been at least somewhat tempered by years of people treating it as a free tech support platform

Not today, but I've read it. I spent, like, a good 4 or 5 years in my teens just being obsessed with obscure programming languages. Lisp, Haskell, Prolog, Smalltalk. I dabbled in CoQ too.

In a weird way it was part of my identity back then. But then I realized that there are way more important things to do, now when I have to program something I just pick whatever mainstream language makes it easiest. I feel sort of bad for the people on Hacker News who obsessively make threads like "check out my new purely functional object oriented lambda calculus language", it's like they're kids playing with toys and they never grew up.

I'm probably just projecting in a weird way here. It's just so easy to get sucked into really nerdy pastimes and you think you're doing something cool and important when really you're just afraid of life, and I don't want people to make that mistake.

No, I don't. I don't like generals as a rule, though. They lead to stifling of creativity.

It is admittedly different for magic - magic is a very mechanical sort of game. You discuss strategies, you discuss favorite decks, you discuss the metagame, but there's not a lot of creativity (outside of deck building). In fact mtg is one of the few things that /tg/ has gotten better at over the years. Back in '08 there was basically no magic on /tg/ at all. Threads were super rare and it was basically four or so anons (including myself) plus a tripfag grinder. /tg/ didn't get a real magic community until gA showed up, that guy was a godsend.

But that aside, most other things haven't work out so well. Everything's so neat and regimented with generals that there's no mixing of ideas. It doesn't feel remotely the same. I don't expect "products" but the creative efforts of /tg/ as a community was its claim to fame for the first few years of its existence. I dunno, /tg/ feels like a bunch of fragmented boring cultures now instead a single vibrant one.

>>7692
I stuck with Haskell and I feel like it paid off for me. I do all of my personal one-off computation and small 2-3 day projects in it. Wouldn't exchange it for anything else

Some things about it are just so comfy; I can basically redesign my entire program multiple times with almost no effort, because all I have to do is change the types to reflect the changes I want and the compiler will figure out which lines I need to change to make it work. That's why I love it for these kinds of small projects because I usually end up redesigning them multiple times

No other language has ever given me that sort of feeling. In stuff like python I feel like I'm constantly treating around in a mine-fiel of unsafety, like a version of C with even fewer compile-time checks

Possibly. Being a good programmer is less about languages and more about knowing the science. If you know algorithms and data structures and can get used to common patterns in languages, you ought to be able to pick up a new language without much trouble and implement the stuff you already knew in that language.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Obviously people should watch movies or play video games or do programming or whatever else they enjoy. Like I said, I was projecting a bit. The time in my life when I was really obsessed with programming was just a really weird time, I was using it to cover up the fact that I had no friends and nothing else going for me.

I think the concept of a paywall scares off all except the people who are the most attached to 4chan due to being here for years and years.

>>7884
>The time in my life when I was really obsessed with programming was just a really weird time, I was using it to cover up the fact that I had no friends and nothing else going for me.
Fuck, now that you said this I wonder if this applies to me

I've been obsessed with technology and programming in particular pretty much since I was a little kid, and I never had any real friends growing up so I spent all my time on the internet

Am I attached to technology because of my lack of social interaction, or did I just give up social interaction because I was too attached to technology?

I can't decide

>>7896
Yeah that's a pretty big qualifier.

>>7825
>>7852
I'm enjoying it too. I know I like learning about other boards, so I try to be helpful for other people who also like it.

>(inb4 it won't last long)
We have no ability to influence the posting of others, so just try to contribute as best you can, be it in the form of information or funny shit, text or images. That's where quality comes from.

I saw a great theory once about community dynamics. It basically went like this - the vast majority of people in any given community will go with the flow. If people around them are making an effort towards quality, so will they; if the people around them are just shitposting, so will they. It's the people that make a sincere effort without prompting who make the biggest impact on a community's quality (and likewise the most dedicated shitters who are the biggest detriment). Don't know if it's true, but seems fairly intuitive.

Came to 4chan in 2008. My home board has been /tv/ since 2009 and every year since 2011 it has steadily gotten worse. The only upside is that it's forced me to check out other boards. On a related note, I find it odd that so many people on /tv/ complain about /v/ when from what I've seen that board is far more on topic most of the time. At the very least it doesn't seem to get cuck and cunny spammed every single night like /tv/ does now.

To better times.

>>8032
>If people around them are making an effort towards quality, so will they; if the people around them are just shitposting, so will they.
This is true. I saw this board and thought “hey this feels like an early version of /b/ before the newfag invasion”, now I'm not so sure

>>7984
They can feed into one another, I think. Being attracted to weird shit can be socially isolating. People who are less engaged with their peers are less likely to be pulled away from weird shit by social pressure. As we fall in to our unusual hobbies we have fewer and fewer cultural touchstones in common with our peers, pulling us further away.

However, this can in turn drive us towards shared subculture. I have very little to talk about with a random stranger off the street, but I have enduring friendships formed on the basis of things like table top games. I've even been a part of some tiny 4chan spinoff community for 8 years, despite the fact that said community has long outlived its original purpose.

>>8051
>/v/ when from what I've seen that board is far more on topic most of the time.
just how bad is /tv/ that it makes someone say this about /v/?

>>8092

In what way? About the current quality? About it going into decline?

>>8116
I feel like the screencap that best sums up /tv/ is the one of the baneposting pizzas that ends with "I hate this place."

>>8109

This feels pretty familiar. The only people I interact with on a daily basis are people from the same extremely niche subcultures that I inhabit. (media/codec software development community)

In the part of myself, I think part of is it that I tend to have a pretty escapist attitude about life. If there's something that bothers me about life or about a community, I will tend to ignore/filter or avoid it instead of trying to confront the issues. The natural conclusion of this is that I gravitate away from pretty much any platform where people hold differing viewpoints and settle into small circles of like-minded people

Maybe a paywall is the solution to the “mistaking irony for likemindedness” thing? Let's find out

>>8697
Wait, didn't somethingawful try this already?

>>8699
You could say that, with varying degrees of success across the years and subforums, yes. In the recent years it's been working better since SA has fallen out of the relevance it once had. I don't think this is exactly comparable though since all we have is a single paywalled board and a very different posting history.

>>3277
Thing is, most people who complain about /pol/ and the alt right ARE NOT doing it because they subscribe to an alleged "mainstream" far left progressive position. Rather, they represent an ignored majority of moderates and unaffiliated who are fed up with the sensationalist, mean spirited rhetoric on both the right and left. Reducing all who complain of the alt-right to "leftard cucks" follows the same form and function as SJWs reducing all criticism of privilege/critical theory to "White male tears". You say you sincerely believe you made an agument, but all that comes out is blatant trolling and shitposts. This is why you think you get censored

>>3086
We hate you because while claiming you were fighting against SJWs, you ended up copying them, empowering the worst of them, and achieved nothing of the sort that changes the level of discourse on the subject of identity politics. While we all were content to mock SJWs for the lulz, you fags turned it into a fucking political movement, culminating with the nomination of a literal meme candidate and bringing even more faggotry to the internet. You are to 4chan now what Chanology was 10 years ago, taking a joke too far and believing you were important enough to co-opt an internet culture. Chanology ruined anonymous and now /pol/ has ruined 4chan.

>>3205
That you compare yourselves to old /b/ is laughable considering how the only thing in common is being cancerous shit. /b/ went to shit when it took itself too seriously - but at least that was contained to one board and a narrow range of shitposts. Underneath this sham of fake nostalgia, the truth is 4chan has never been about one board or one culture, and has always resented being popularized and exported to outsiders. nu/pol/ and r/4chan are the ultimate, unironic manifestation of the Cancer that killed /b/ - the kind that spreads to other forums and normalizes general shittiness. I hope you fags are proud of yourselves, you unironically killed 4chan.

I don't pretend that everyone who dislikes the alt-right is a literal commie jew fuck, but you are wrong.

That aside, what I hate the most is literally any discussion degenerating into politics. Either a memelord derails the thread or a left-wing poster gets offended at something vaguely right-wing in someone else's post. It's tiresome, especially with threads like this that are actually kind of fun.

/tg/ - More than half a decade past its heyday. I blame generals, but really, it would be as true to say that a good thing simply couldn't last forever. I filtered quests, so moving them didn't impact me at all.

/vg/ - The generals I don't browse are shit. That's why I don't browse them, actually, I used to browse /gsg/ but haven't in years because the quality. /civ4xg/ seems nice, though I'm recent there, while I've been on /domg/ for as long as it's existed, and it's been comfy the whole time.

/a/ - Don't know if I'd call it a main, I only have threads from there open like a third of the time. I think it's a reasonable quality. The people there are very nice and very helpful when you're feeling down or gay.

/out/ - I'm only there for Homegrowmen (guardening general) which is super comfy. Aside from it and the knife (and other gear) threads, a lot of the board seems a bit pointless.

/e/ - Cute. Most of it isn't relevant to my interests but a few threads are.

/d/ - I only go for the vidya general, these days. It's comfy and has nice discussion.

/pol/ - being a leaf makes things hard
/wsg/ - slow as fuck. same threads over and over again. still pretty great
/fit/ - still gay as fuck

Because centrist and left/right are woefully inadequate terms when used alone. "Leftist" and "right-wing" describe whole swathes of political beliefs. You could undoubtedly find a position that adequately describes yourself. If you lean authoritarian and favor mixing both sides, for example, you could call yourself a fascist.

By calling yourself a centrist, full stop, you're saying that you have no opinions other than what isn't offensive to most people.

/lit/ - best shitposting, bar absolutely nowhere
/lgbt/ - buttleg
/hsg/ - /homestuckgeneral/
/an/ - a good board with nice friends

>>9672
What would you call a libertarian?

>>9672
well whatever my opinions are they're clearly offensive to you (´･ω･`)

>>9691
Downright crazy.

>Polite chuckling

>>9630
Well, it sounds like you belong around here then.

>>9691
I'd call you gay, post dude weed memes, and then I'd ask whether you lean toward the capitalist or commie side of things.

I do want gay people to protect their pot plants with guns.

>>9672
this post is proof of why /pol/ is shit

even /vip/ is turning into a discussion about politics

>>9510
I don't think anyone with actual common sense cares about /lgbt/
Not even the mods.

DUDE
But seriously, the problem with libertarianism is that it totalizes market morality. I'd rather not see my country be a shopping mall.

>>9830
If I didn't believe the free market is perfect and should have some checks and balances to make sure that monopolies don't exist would that be too nuanced to be a libertarian anymore?

>>8648
C-Can we post SJIS nudes without violating the fact that this is a SFW board?

>>9630
I don't know about cool, but you're interesting at least.
If you're into grown-up dudes and little girls, how exactly does that even work?

You're be surprised how many gay lolicons actually exist. I personally know of at least 4.

>>9859
There's degrees of libertarianism. You don't have to be Randian about it.

>>9865
I find little girls sexually attractive. I think they're really stupid and you'd never have a fulfilling relationship with them though. Guys understand guys, not to mention it's hot as fuck to get other guys off, especially if they're into little girls too.
