/jp/ - Otaku Culture

For the worse, probably.

I've become far more cynical. When I've been forced to take breaks, I've become less "meta", less "autistic", and I can enjoy things more. I don't even realise until I get /jp/ back again.

No because I'm not a child.

One day I realized if I don't get off my ass and start doing shit with my life there will come a day where /jp/ or 4chan will close down and I'll have nowhere else to go to waste my time.

Just imagining myself in a situation like that scared me enough to actually do something for the first time in years.

Children are stubborn. Adults do what they're told.

Yes, of course. Strangely enough, it's actually helped.

before 4ch: disgusted by loli
after 4ch: can't fap to anything else

>>9750159
For me it was
after 4ch: can fap to anything

>>9750156
I used to do everything I was told when I was a child. Could that be why I don't do anything now?

I became less ashamed of my interests.

It made me a kinder person.

I love you /jp/ <3

I hate people that say popular internet phrases like "DERP ME GUSTA" with a fiery passion, and everyone else who is part of the popular lolsorandom culture.

Along with everyone else, it broadened my taste in porn.
I write in terse fragments more than I used to.
Perhaps unexpectedly, it's also taught me a lot about gender.

When people are mean in real life I tell them not to bully. You guys might think that's weird but most of them smile and start giggling because they are so happy that someone is standing up for the weak.

it's responsible for my largely objective thinking

also made me cynical, also showed me a tonne of things most people like to pretend doesn't exist.

i think quitting at this point would be for the best but the damage is generally done.

Made me feel less alone and realize there's other people who think "like you"
Before 4chan I used to think "I'm the only person who thinks of this shit" and when you discover you're not is kind of warm.

>>9750205
>it's responsible for my largely objective thinking

This. But not so much because of the intellectually stimulating discussion, but because I'm so desensitized to things that would usually sway a normal person's opinion.

YES I USED TO LOVE VIDEOGAMES AND HAD FRIENDS AND WENT OUTSIDE THIS SITE RUINED MY LIFE ;_;

4CHAN Y U CHANGE ME?

Pretty much >>9750192 and >>9750171
After 4chan i became pretty much prejudiced against all the lolsorandom, And i never really liked it myself to being with.
Also being able to talk about my Interests became more appropriate, Since before i was so ashamed of my weaboo self, I just disregarded it and became a normalfag for a while. Until i stumbled upon /jp/ which really let me express what i truly enjoyed.

I can definitely say 4chan has changed me, even /jp/ itself, Thank you /jp/sies.

>>9750240
Y-You too

/jp/ led me to learn Japanese, which has since taken over my life. I work as a freelance translator now, and will probably be pursuing a career in translation instead of my former plans to go into biological sciences. I'd say it's helped me quite a bit.

A bit, but I think it has more to do with growing up.

I don't think it's changed my outward personality at all. In fact, it's probably mellowed me out, because I can complain and shitpost anonymously

>>9750255
>biology
>science

A better question would be how I changed 4chan, not how it changed me.

I'm slightly more bitter and hateful but I like that. It's something that I needed.

The internet in general has shit inhabitants now. Too full of kids born after Clinton took office.

>>9750278
I know that feel. Eternal Summer of 2003. ):

I miss the good old days.

>>9750272
You didn't do anything that we are aware of though, Unless you were tripfagging and were known across all boards. so we can pretty much disregard anything any anon has done, since there isn't a specific person that we can associate to changes you've done for people.
For all you know, you could be replying to yourself here.

>>9750205

How did you survive through education? Do you live in a totalitarian nation or what.

>>9750286
When the people in this thread started posting on the site (back in the good old days of 2010 [back when 4chan was good]) they must have seen my brooding posts filled with anger. Since those so-called posts were abundant, they figured they had to be like me to fit in. It also became part of 4chan culture to 'hate everything'.

I taught you kids everything you know.

>>9750308
>2010
>[back when 4chan was good
Softly, anon. Softly.

>>9750308
People come and go over the years though, And not everyone is the same exact person when it comes to thinking and morals. There are plenty of nice people who probably uninfluenced your rude attitude. Plus you basically just told me Quantity > Quality, Which is only true in cases where you need quantity > quality, which doesn't apply to posting.

>>9750339
On an unrelated note, 4chan has also made me way more argumentative.

>>9750339
>>9750354
Sorry.

I didn't read these posts.

>>9750240
You are my true self.

Do you think Sanae is wearing anything under that skirt?

>>9750240
4chan actually made me see how much of an annoying jackass I really with my lolsorandom ways by showing me other people who acted the way I did. Now I'm bitter and hate everything but I think that's better than being an annoying jackass.

i wouldn't change it though. the idea of anonymity is liberating, almost romantic in that it sheds self in order to pursue what you think matters, unrestricted by whatever ruling forces you have in your life (government in general)

on the other hand anarchy is stupid and is virtually saying 'if it can't be perfect i don't want it'. what anonymity does is give people the ability to act in a way that may ultimately benefit society.

also i'm drunk and inarticulate right now so hate away. as far as i'm concerned everyone should probably wear masks.

>>9751678
haha not same here

I realized that being broken serious fag is no way to go and I'd much rather be an annoying happy jackass

Lol people in this thread are actually praising 4chan.

That's how you know the population is 90%+ people who started visiting after 2008.

>>9751642
Definitively not.

I learned more about modern young women and how I should be aware of them.
I learned how horribly disfigured the scales are in favor of women in USA.
I broaded my porn horizons.
I learned how horrible it is when meme enter RL and how horrible people who bastardize them are. I cringed hard when I saw a twat in 'poker face' t-shirt recently.

I can't sincerely socialise with people in real life anymore because it's too "normal". Interacting with people offline just feels like an act.

>>9750137
I feel closer to my homeland wwww

I used to be a cockslut, but thanks to all the Sanae threads, I have learned the value of being pure.

I stopped being interested in 3D but at the same time, learned all the great features about anime women that I had seen before but thought were annoying in reality before. It's made me somewhat regretful that I didn't get the chance to experience them IRL when I had the chance. It's become hard to whap it to 3D porn unless it's some strange Japanese thing or softcore.

I've become a lazy person who only wakes up and does nothing but try to avoid being on 4chan so I can do things, only to take a break, hit my 4chan bookmark, and remain there for 8 hours.

I've learned that Europeans are just as stupid as Americans, and probably even more so.

It's also helped me realized that I am not and never will be pedo, even though I love loli.

>>9751714
I actually enjoy being bitter and hateful though. It makes me feel warm inside which is kind of weird.

>>9751845
infact i am a very different person now

then i was 4+ years ago

>>9751857
Oh and this >>9751828 except with forums. In real life, at least you can get close with people and say stupid shit. On forums, if you don't follow the general circlejerk you're shunned/banned.

I am completely unable to tolerate posting on any other forum for any length of time and they all disgust me just looking over them.

That and all the censorship and shit like that. You could show someone a loli manga in real life and have less of a chance to go to jail than if you showed it on a forum that they would ban you, report you to authorities, and hack every site you've been to and get and post your docs everywhere.

Yup.
After I started lurking 4chan I hardly ever get mad anymore.
I also became highly sarcastic and started to became more and more antisocial.
Needless to stay, I cannot hold a steady job anymore and I am already on my way to quit another job. Just 1more week and I can taste freedom. Goodbye work.

It's inevitable that something that has become such an important part of my life would change me over time. In no particular order:
-A lot of the OC I've made over time has been /jp/-related in some way.
-Most of the IRC channels I visit are /jp/-related in some way.
-I got into all kinds of weird fetishes (whereas I didn't really have any kind of specific fetish beforehand).
-On the other hand, I've completely stopped fapping to 3D.
-Many of the things posted here have been insightful and changed my opinion on many subjects.
-/jp/ has also changed my way of thinking by letting me discover many contradictions in 'common sense'.
-/jp/'s recommendations have made me check out all kinds of stuff, some of which I became a fan of.

Simply put, /jp/ is my home. I've lived here for so long that it's hard to point out what changes came from /jp/ and which ones occurred due to other factors.

>>9751894
trying way 2 hard to fit in nerd

wwww crazy

I think I've become a nicer person by going on /jp/. I think I've understood that there are people like me and that I shouldn't discriminate against others as I feel they may discriminate against me because that would make me the same as them.

ну и че, блядь?

are you sucking each others' cocks now?

I constantly fantasise about being a little orphan girl who meets a strange 20 something hot lonely female and I walk around naked and she tells me I shouldn't do that. We go on adventures and I'm secretly an assassin.

>>9751940

>And not everyone is the same exact person when it comes to thinking and morals.

This is how I know you haven't been on 4chan for very long.

/jp/ helped me realize that I'm not a complete loser. But seriously, I love you guys.

I was 15 or 16 when I started browsing 4chan so yes it did.

It has made me more open minded and give less of a damn about things I shouldnt care about.

well I know what "wpierdole" supposedly means now

other than that tho not really

>>9750205
This. Also, it's made me heaps more laconic, to the point where normal people think I'm consciously being mean to them when I get straight to the point.

/jp/ is my mom and I am the cute little daughter.

>>9750137

I would like to say that 4chan has made me a pervert, but that's just placing the blame elsewhere. I've been a pervert all my life, and 4chan just makes for a convenient watering hole.

I found 4chan when I was heartbroken.

Now I don't care for 3D anymore and I finally found people with the same powerlevel and less shit taste.

Yes, I am an /a/-/jp/-crossboarder.

That feel when the most shittiest thread on jp gets bumped right before kids start getting home from school

I started to stopped giving a fuck. Got awared of tons of shit that I'd never ran across to otherwise. Tons of exposure to very diverse shit that helped me find and define myself. I say I feel much of a better person than before, I reached enlightenment.

4chan has permanently changed my opinion towards anime fans i now think they are the lowest beings on the face of the planet they are scum assholes losers stupid etc. they are the lazy unintelligent people of society who refuse to work but hate everyone and everything else except for themselves. they are friendless hate humanity (even though they are the worst among humans) and antisocial. they should all be shot. I have more respect for criminals niggers muslims serial killers rapists and any other person than i do the basement dwellers on this site

It taught me to hate this thread immensely.

>>9752521
Take a look, folks, this is the kind of fake 2D lover who will eventually realize that he does love 3D, and will immediately ditch his loyal 2D lover once he gets with a whore.

>>9750137
yes because of /g/ im a master ricer now
also smarter than the average iphone fagget
