/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Are you upset that we told you to delete your Japanese folklore thread?

Touhou goes in /a/ as well

Retarded meta shit like this thread here are /jp/;s raison d'etre.

It's the board moot made because he didn't want Touhou and VNs in /a/. Also, /v/ bitched and whined too.

who knows man. as i watch the mod delete 6 pages of content i wonder what the fuck belongs here and wish they'd actually make rules. there was an ntr doujinshi thread that got deleted and it really shows how little this board makes sense. i clicked on /a/ and saw the visual novel thread being spammed for 20 minutes as the mod slowly delete page by page on /jp/... makes no sense at all. i like it better when the board was japan & general.

>>7568350
I saw my thread get shot down, as well as the one about the guy going to Japan
I just really have trouble understanding what we are supposed to discuss here

Why do you keep making this thread?

>>7568352
Then why isn't it called that?
Also, why was /jp/ switched from the Japan General board, to Otaku Culture.
I don't understand the point of the shift

>>7568362
It's pretty clear once you've been browsing the board for more than a day.

Same reason theres a /v/ and a /vp/. Though I really hate to compare /jp/ to /vp/.

>>7568362
Touhou and VNs, dipshit. The guy going to japan obviously belongs in /trv/.

>>7568366
Because nobody answers it

>>7568362
/jp/ is about niche Japanese things. Neither the folklore or travel threads fit that niche. You should really browse a board before you make a thread. Saves the whole "make 2 shitty threads when you could just not make them" deal.

>>7568372
Visual Novels can go in both /a/, and /v/.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE 3 BOARDS DISCUSSING THE SAME THING

>>7568376
So what, the discussion of Saitō Musashibō Benkei's life isn't obscure?

>/jp/ is 4chan's board for everything otaku!
>imageboard,japan,general

>>7568377
Doesn't it? There's different userbases in each of the boards, and the topic intersects with both of the boards' subjects.
Er, all three.

>>7568381
More like nobody on this board cares.

>>7568381
Is he 2D?

>>7568372
every time i click on /a/ i see touhous and visual novels. everytime i click on /v/ i see visual novels, stuff like that violated heroine game, and jrpg general threads.

>>7568385
He is based off of an actual person, though the legend and the facts seem to have mixed to the point where it is difficult to find facts.

>>7568377
/a/ and /v/ don't care about visual novels that aren't Wanko to Kurasou, Yume Miru Kusuri, Saya no Uta, and Fate/stay night. Hell, /m/ has better visual novel discussion with Demonbane and Muv-Luv Alternative.

>>7568377
The level of discourse in a /v/ VN thread is markedly different to that of a /jp/ thread, as well as the content being discussed. The only VNs you're likely to be able to discuss on /v/ are YMK and maybe G-Senjou.

Though if you honestly believe there's nothing on /jp/ that can't be discussed on another board, it'll probably work out best for everyone if you just stay in those other boards.

why do we even need boards other than /b/
everything belongs in /b/ thus other boards need not exist

>>7568392
Rance is also popular on /v/.

>>7568392
>>7568391
That is because those conversations transfer here.
There would be no real change to the threads if /jp/ ceased to exist.

>>7568386
>jrpg general
That would be because those are video games.

>>7568377
Just because something is discussed on a certain board doesn't mean it belongs there. Visual novels weren't supposed to be posted in /a/ after the split, and they aren't viewed as games by Westerners so they're off topic on /v/ too.

>>7568395
Some level of specialization can be reasonable. /o/ and /n/ as an example. One board being the daughter board of the other (transportation, and Automobiles).
One board dedicated to a topic discussed on 2 other boards, doesn't make as much sense.

>>7568397
Maybe because it's a game, not a VN.

>>7568404
Wait, wait wait.
Is Ace Attorney considered a VN?

>>7568409
Not really. I haven't played it so I can't say if it is or not, but that's not how it's generally perceived.

>>7568409
Yes, but I've seen people vehemently argue that it isn't simply because they don't want it associated with eroge.

Phoenix Wright is somewhat of a unique case, though, because of its mainstream popularity.

>>7568407
if moot made a board about getting doubIes would you complain saying that /a/ and /v/ have good doubIes threads and they shouldn't be "discussed" in another board?

>>7568409
It's in between an adventure game and a VN, but it's usually not discussed in VN generals.

There is a country were the sports of Soccer and Ice-Hockey thrives and is the most usual topics at the town’s local sports-bar.
Inside that bar however there is a group who has a certain interest of the sport Baseball and they discuss it gladly within the bar even though the nation doesn't even has its own baseball team.
After some time however the fans of Soccer and Ice-Hockey tells the Baseball fans to take their shit elsewhere.
The Baseball guys thinks that the Soccer and Ice-hockey fans are exaggerating but things wont cool down and the Soccer and Ice-Hockey fans complain to the bar's owner Moot.
Moot seeing as how it could damage his business and him not being a fan of baseball himself decides that something should be done.
He doesn't want to lose the baseball customers though as they are still a steady income for him, so he builds a Baseball bar right across the street for them.
The Baseball fans go "Hey, what the hell? But ok, perhaps this is for the better and it is still a bar" so they move into the new Bar.
There they have plenty of interesting discussion about Baseball and their community thrives even though it is small.
They start to raise funds and they start to organize themselves in order to make Baseball more popular and more access able, so they help in tidying up and fixing real Baseball fields, so that the sport in fact can be played, unlike before.
Times goes by and the popularity of Baseball grows as more people start to play it as there are now local fields were one actually can play.
With the popularity of Baseball increasing more and more people checks out the local Baseball bar, and the regulars of the Baseball bar likes how more people can enjoy Baseball.

>>7568409
No.
Are you stupid?

>>7568409
I'd say no, since the adventure game elements are too strong.

>>7568409
Or an ADV.

/jp/ is weird because most people here are kind of oddly perverted, cute and adorable and have a different sense of the world than most people. The real mystery is how we all ended up here.

>>7568420
>>7568418
>>7568417
Well fuck.
I thought I could pull this thread out of being a shitty metathread, into being a Ace Attorney thread, though it seems as if I will have no such luck

Things actually goes so well so that the country gets its own official Baseball team and the team even sets their goal on the highly respected tournament coming up.
With this the popularity grows even more and more people starts to become regulars of the Baseball club and it is all good, but all of a sudden, unlike before there are also a bunch of jerks who have started visiting regularly, to the old regulars dismay. They don't bother learning baseball rules and are just bandwagoning faggots. They are glory hunters and gloat whenever their team wins, much to the dismay of the true die hard baseball regulars.
The regulars ignore them and all things goes well for Baseball and the official team happens to go to the final. With all of this being good the regulars feel happy, but the number of jerks that have filled up the baseball bar is incomparable to before, and they all feel a bit sad about it, but as the price of Baseball gaining popularity it is just something they has to bear, that is all.
When the tournament is over though they all scream loudly from happiness when their team actually wins the final, but at the same time they hear strong voices from across the street.
One of them decides to pay the old sports bar another visit, and it turns out that they have been following the Baseball tournament as well.
And with this all of the Baseball fans simply goes "What the hell? I thought that was the reason for why they didn't want us there" and it confuses them all.
Lastly, due to the popularity of the bar, it was renamed with a catchy and huge sign and it now attracts faggots who always passes by the Baseball bar and leaves multiple soccer balls there.

>>7568404
you're wrong they've always been welcome and there was even a post from moot saying he wants visual novels back in /a/ after the split.

>>7568402
and the reason why they're posted here is because....? you guys are trying to shit on the level of discussion /v/a/ have but sadly they talk about everything you do except for untranslated vn which are rarely discussed here. i saw a better axanael threads on /a/ than i've ever seen on /jp/.

i've seen demonbane, muv-luv, and both of those monster girl games. the only thing unique to /jp/ is idol threads get over yourselves if you're trying to act like you've got elitist taste. i see more baby's first visual novel discussion on /jp/.

I'll check back with you faggots in a few more months. maybe by then you'll have gotten the /b/ out of your system.

>>7568424
Except we hate soccer and ice-hockey fans because they are a bunch of retarded hooligans.

>>7568434
It hasn't been this way for the last 18 months or so?

>>7568433
You mean this post?

>>7568434
Is this thing talking about the idoru thread?

Why do you guys keep responding to this troll thread?

>>7568443
What would we do without this guy?

>>7568433
What, jrpgs? They don't honestly belong here, except for super-weeaboo stuff like Ar Tonelico maybe, and even then technically not. That there are threads about it on /jp/ is irrelevant, there's threads on /jp/ about all kinds of off-topic shit.

>>7568443
Nothing better to do.

>>7568437
selectively choosing what you want to believe doesn't change reality. moot has only ever made one post about this discussion and it was that singular post, right? the board was called japan & general when he made that post and it still is because nothing ever changes, anonymous. wait, no.

just refreshing /a/ i saw two visual novel threads, everytime i click on /v/ i see katawa shoujo, violated heroine, rance, or some other type of game too.

It is to discuss Otaku culture, duh. And otaku are obsessed about their hobbies, we discuss about people insane hobbies which in return is a pretty insane hobby. This is why Otaku culture actually means "meta culture".

>>7568448
Just want to say that no one is forcing you to discuss eroge in /jp/. Go to /a/ or /v/ if you are happy there.
Go complain to moot if you are mad about /jp/ existence.

>>7568448
The best solution for this is for you to go and talk about these things on /v/ and /a/ and leave us awful, elitist cunts to sit around in our own shit.

>>7568434
>CP thread with 100+ replies
Is the real Investment Banker back?

>>7568445
oh "SUPER" weeaboo!? that would explain it if those threads weren't filled with bigger weeaboos than on /jp/ who live and breath jrpgs. if you aren't a super weeaboo when you solely play jrpg then no one is a super weeaboo.

>>7568453
can't argue with that since it's well thought out and actually makes sense. i was just poking holes in peoples illogical and idiotic posts about the way things are. i'm only mad that the rules for /jp/ aren't more flushed out.

>>7568458
/jp/ isn't elitist anymore. 2 years ago this was where all all the most recent stuff was discussed, but now everything that's done here is done on other boards except idols. it's unpleasant reading people make fools of themselves trying to downplay reality to fool themselves into a false sense of superiority.

>>7568386
>touhous

>>7568473
>/jp/ isn't elitist anymore
/jp/ is still elitist. Whether it's justified or not is a separate issue.

>>7568473
I wasn't being serious with that phrase, I just used it as a lazy descriptor of the general kind of game. Don't get your panties in a bundle.

>>7568473
>it's unpleasant reading people make fools of themselves trying to downplay reality to fool themselves into a false sense of superiority.
I honestly have no idea what you're bitching about now. Saying that /jp/ is primarily for Touhou and eroge has nothing to do with wanting to feel superior.

>>7568491
He is probably talking about how /jp/ always send faggots back to >>>/a/ or >>>/v/ when they are asking for "Hi I am from /a//v/, I just finished X what should I play next?"

>>7568501
Does he expect us to welcome them with open arms, or send them to another website? Because I'd feel bad even sending shitposters like him to Gamefaqs

>>7568491
try reading posts instead of picking an isolated sentence and you'll understand a lot. it was in response to people saying /a/v/ was only babby's first discussion and real deal stuff like muv-luv and the last crap mlg releases is talked about here.

centralized long term discussion of visual novels, touhou, idols, doujinsoft, vocaloid, mmorpgs, j-games, j social trends(neet,hikikomori), and other misc japanese topics(language,news,being a sexual deviant[anal masturbation threads]). those are the reasons why /jp/ exists i suppose since they're the topics which aren't deleted.

>/a/v/ was only babby's first discussion
More like it can varely be called discussion. They still talk about KS, for god's sake.

>>7568528
I've read every post in this thread. But I still don't get why you're so mad at /jp/. I'm assuming a thread of yours got deleted or something.

>it was in response to people saying /a/v/ was only babby's first discussion
Every time VN threads on /a/ or /v/ have been linked here this has been the case.

>>7568358
> delete 6 pages of content
If you call shit being spammed from shitty tripfags and /a/ /v/ and /sp/ shit content then ok.

>>7568568
There was no reason for the NTR thread to be deleted though.

>>7568601
Was it work-safe? I highly doubt it.

>>7568605
The OP pic was NSFW (not blatantly so) but that was the only one. The rest was discussion. They could have just deleted the image instead of the entire thread.

>>7568586
Kind of funny that /a/ became faster after the exodus of Touhou.
I guess Touhou was what really protected the /a/ from the gaiafags.
