some generals and to post in good touhou threads when they show up, i like deeper discussion
though these same generals could and are on different sites, so at least in that regard if i left it wouldn't be different, but most of the bigger touhou communities became smaller and hidden away i.e discord groups and this is probably the last place i can post freely about it

The TV general, that's about it. It's pretty shit and mostly filled with retards watching translated dramas, but there's the odd variety fan. The rest of the board seems pretty terrible at this point, tired 2hu spam as a last front against mobage/vtuber zombies and endless dogshit generals for trash.

It's hard to really notice slow degradation until you turn around one day and remember what you've lost. For me it was some ghost thread a few years back about how our benevolent dictator resembles a feline, and I laughed so hard I cried at the inventive posting styles that have been lost to banwaves and apathy and can now only survive at the fringes of imageboard society. I remembered how /jp/ used to feel, when every thread was like going to Yoshinoya and nobody took things seriously.

[Anonymous No.]

I come here in hopes of finding a denpa thread. That's about the only thing that's worth a damn on /jp/ now.

I know many people like to blame the generals for the downfall of /jp/, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the general thread format in itself. They become problematic when there are too many of them, are about topics that are strongly disliked by the board/site residents, and are allowed to form communities independently from the rest of the board.

In my experience though a lot of anons will take a fuckton of vitriol over having to wait hours/days for a reply. Which isn't "dead," it's active but slow. Split that hair goddamnit.

Also while it's softened a bit, self-proclaimed /jp/ oldfags can be some of the most pedantic assholes on the site as a defense mechanism to changing popularity, tastes, and media styles that fall under otaku culture. Since new fads displace stuff oldfags still enjoy and speed up the thread archival process.

It has been said time and time again that if the posters like something, they'll post about it. Importing people who haven't used the site a day in their life and dumping random shit nobody wants here is not "changing tastes" in any way, shape or form. The people you want to claim post for their own gain are no different from the people who dump random shit here because they believe it's vaguely related despite everyone telling them to fuck off. Oppressing the native posters to defend new shit that nobody wants or cares about is not "changing tastes" or anything to do with popularity and ignoring the criticism is nothing short of neglect.

Depends on what you're reporting. If it's got fuck all to do with Japan or Japanese media, reporting solves it pretty much all of the time because whoever is the chucklefuck making the call isn't considering if it falls under "otaku culture."

The core problem really is that "otaku culture" is a bad catch-all for a board, since it both potentially includes groups that don't gel with one another. 2D purists and idolfags, which are clearly defined in the rules as being topical, are the most concrete example (though of course there are people who like both, they just have nothing to say). And that's ignoring that people who use the same threads and have similar interests have different ideas of what is implicitly otaku culture.

While I would say nothing outright solves this issue, the one thing I've found that ameliorates it is either using different spaces that pander to what you want to discuss, or spin your own if nothing gives you satisfaction and you think others feel the same. I do the former, and while every place has caveats, they also have different pros. If /jp/ really did suck for me as much as people profess, I'd move on. It doesn't hold control over me. It's just one board for that just happens to be on the fastest anonymous imageboard, and it will dissappear eventually and force a move without my consent regardless, so I see no reason to keep all my eggs in one basket.
And while I doubt it will happen, making boards for aspects of /jp/ that oldfags like should be enjoyed by at least a few them that aren't hung up on a certain place being a certain way over discussion.

What I know does solve nothing is going into a thread and telling someone to gb2 X or expel niwaka. It undoubtedly feels good to the poster, but anons have thick enough skin to carry on regardless, even if they're from X, and probably would be more discouraged from getting one less reply.

If nobody wants it here, then nobody will post in the thread, and it will simply die, as threads for literally hundreds of possible niche interests would if you tried to make them.

It's not about my interest. You saw it first hand since December that despite the fact that nobody wanted the tubertrash here, nothing happened despite despite numerous reports and debate. It's not about "my" specific interest when the vast majority of native users don't want something here. Importing more crossboarders than there are in the entire board population of /jp/ and refusing to remove them to leave is not "what everyone wants" when I.
If a bunch of faggots from /co/ made a thread and kept it bumped, it would hit bump limit. Not because /jp/ posters want it, but rather because a bunch of fucking /co/tards wanted it there.
You can ramble on and on about how you vainly believe that it is the interest of one person all you want. That won't change the fact that you INTENTIONALLY ignore what everyone says and choosing what you want to give attention to.

By definition, the number of people who want vtubers here is not "nobody." You can pretend that no native poster likes vtubers but that's just the true Scotsman fallacy copied 1-for-1 into an argument that people pretend actually makes sense.

Go track down some actual oldfags. By and large they think your anti-vtuber crusade is retarded. But don't let that stop you from claiming you speak for everybody.

It's a glaring issue gone intentionally ignored. Instead of getting rid of them, the blame was put on others. You can call it a fallacy all you want over a general overlap. There are people on this board that like anime and the like. Yet /a/ exists. There is a board for anime.

If nobody cared then the threads would simply die with nobody posting in them, which is what happens to topics that nobody cares about. What you meant to say is "only people I don't like care."

>It's a glaring issue gone intentionally ignored.
It's intentionally ignored because the mods are older fags than you, know plenty of /jp/sies who are older fags than you, and know that the people who cry the most loudly /jp/'s metathreads are morons who pretend to be representative of the board but are not (as it has been since 2008).

Not inherently true. You don't need to be a day one-fag to see that this board has been managed horribly throughout it's lifetime. The only constant is the amount of bullshit being spewn to justify the mismanagement while dubbing anyone going against it as shitposters and morons when a horrible decision is made that negatively impacts the board.

And I've already made the point clear to you that "nobody cares" is some sort of retarded mantra you chant to yourself to somehow delude yourself into thinking that the problem isn't the exact fucking opposite of what you claim it is, which is ~too many people caring~ about something you don't like.

Of course it's not one person. It's always a whole bunch of retards, whether the self-important IRC cabal of the early years or the clown car of retards whining about NSJ during shitposter summer.

You call it delusion when everyone including yourself saw the response to such trash being allowed here. Passing it off as the interests of one person is ingenuous. It's that attitude that enables crossboard shit to thrive now when for the longest time it wouldn't fly for a moment years ago.

Nobody ever said it's one person, shit-for-brains, so you can drop the strawman now. There's a lot of difference between one person and literally everyone in /jp/. It's called "some people."

>There are shitposters, but that doesn't mean you can just lump anyone who speaks out with them when the point is legitimate.
Not everybody who complains about anything is a shitposter, but anybody who claims to speak for the entirety of /jp/ (or real /jp/sies, or oldfags, or native posters, or whatever unique status category you've decided separates yourself from everybody who disagrees with you) is a retarded shitposter 100% of the time.

once upon a time people on this board took pride in their output of original content and creativity. now those people are all gone and what's left is a bunch of angry retards who think that if they say "crossboarder" enough it makes them an oldfag
the term didn't exist until /jp/ was a few years old and early replies are laughing at the concept. it's abhorrent to the idea of actual old 4chan. we'd all come here from /b/ to /a/ to this place
the best thing the creation of /vt/ did was take all that creativity away from where this board's mods could mismanage it. this board has been brain drained into a glorified booru dump bot. there's plenty of /jp/ exile imageboards that get 3 posts a week if that's all you want

Most of the dumb old faggots I see online these days who used to be on some IRC or another ten years ago either follow some vtubers or simply don't care either way. Kinomod is fine with vtubers and he invented the Touhou hijack fifteen years ago, making him one of the oldest faggots around. Sure, maybe you can't take my word for it, but counting named persons at least theoretically possible, unlike counting anons.

The chance of actually convincing anyone on staff with an argument that all the "native /jp/sies" hate vtubers and it's all dumb newfag non-/jp/ staff who simply don't understand the board is pretty much zero. Meido's identity has leaked like five times over the years and every single time it was someone who had been posting since 2010 at the latest (who get called newfags for not being split posters). They don't give even a little bit of a shit what people who call them newfags think. Maybe THIS time around the janitor is some dumb johnny-come-lately holofag from 2019 who might be bullied into thinking they don't know how /jp/ works but I doubt it.

I still think /jp/ is pretty fun. Though I've come to accept that it's impossible for me to understand how to discuss im@s on 4chan. In vg threads they usually just discuss game mechanics and news. In /a/ and /mu/ any attempt to discuss im@s just goes horribly wrong. In /c/ the thread is mostly for posting pictures, not really for discussion about characters and the subculture in general. And here there's general but aimed at seiyuu, and then threads dedicated to various characters which lie in the sweet spot between pictures and discussion but that single character focus makes them limited in a way (I like lots of idols) and I'm frankly afraid of creating a thread of my favourite girl(s) only to see it immediately fade into obscurity…

/jp/ has much less absolute garbage and shitflinging than the rest of the boards on this site, but at the same time there's nothing of value left here either.

/ic/ is just people competing for clout and will put you down so you think you're shit and won't bother, so theres less competition
/jp/ oc threads were really fun, people gave actual criticism, hell there were fucking albums, games, and like one or two light novel (chapters).
though i think some of the usual gamedevs went onto posting on the gamedev threads on /vg/ instead
the last few longer oc threads (from like last year or last last year) devolved into some people from doujinstyle discord lashing out in threads though i think

Fucking doujinstyle of all places? What even caused it in the first place?

Would it be feasible to move the threads to a different, slower imageboard?

Probably not...

A lot of posts mentioning the OC threads but when was the last one even? Feels like it's been close to a year since the last time I saw one.

Why don't we all move over to 5ch

Weird to think GTA is one of the last projects that's still around here, Shanghai dev and and the Warband guy haven't made any posts in a long time. There was also that dat:// thing from a few years ago that seemed like a cool concept but I don't think it ever went anywhere.

I've been here for the 2hu before (like 10 years ago), now I've returned for the TukiRe

Moved to a Steam Group or Discord or something, a crucial guy who was working on it disappeared without a trace stalling the project last I heard.

>Shanghai dev
Don't know if it was him but there was a post about it not to long ago. Still in development for post game content, but not much has change.

This is my first time ever visiting JP. Not sure why I came...out of boredom I guess. I usually stick to /fa/ or /trv/ or maybe /out/ even sometimes. Judging by what OP said though, this board seems like most other boards.

Just briefly scrolled through the catalog and found this. Hello everyone, I was expecting a bunch of expats here I guess but it seems to mostly be just anime

I like visual novels, and besides a bit of retarded EOP(more like ESL) shitposting, this is the best place I can find for that.

How is /out/ in 2021?
Still faggots raging about path markers and druggies shitting up the shrooms thread?

Wrong

No really, it wasn't a big deal. Vtubing is just part of otaku culture, and even overlaps with Touhou frequently. There's that Holo that did a doujin album with Iosys, the other Holo on the panel for the Touhou vote the other day, etc. Nobody freaked the fuck out about it and started pretending it didn't deserve to be here until board traffic went up.

I remember those threads, doesn't even seem like that long ago, time flies. I love the GTA server I always look forward to it.

I'm originally a /k/ommando but I also browse /a/ for its waifu/christmas/valentine's threads and generals for certain shows I'm watching like lately higurashi and muv luv alternative. On some occasions I lurk /g/.

/jp/ is hands down my favorite board, they're more friendly but at the same time expect you to assimilate into board culture and have zero tolerance for frog/wojak cancer that plagues 90% of 4chan.

To be fair dat:/// and Beaker Browser is some new and not popular tech, so it's not surprise it fell off. He should have picked a more well know and used protocol like i2p if he wanted to share files, since you can torrent over it unlike TOR.

Honestly I don't even mind Vtubing as an otaku hobby, I just wish they didn't post in such a botlike manner at a rapid speed. It reminds me of the nobody threads on /x/. The earlier discussions were at least somewhat slower paced.

I wonder why they don't just use IRC or Discord instead. Instant messaging platforms are obviously more suited for that kind of rapid posting.
