No one is going to fix this board for us, it’s up to all of us, ourselves, to make it better. If you want there to be less /pol/ stuff, stop responding to it. You want there to be less trolling, ignore it. You want the company war bullshit to stop, don’t participate in threads about company wars. If we want this to be a halfway decent place to talk about the shit we like, it’s up to us to keep it that way. Stop shitting where we live.
No one is going to fix this board for us, it’s up to all of us, ourselves, to make it better...
Don’t tell me what to do, you turd burglar.
Nah I hate Yea Forums and Yea Forums is considered one of the worst and most embrassing boards this site has. I'll post whatever bait I can and respond and help derail all I want.
FUCK Yea Forums
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH
This applies to literally every board going by how e-celeb drama skyrockets post limits. Hell look at Yea Forums or Yea Forums in where Vic Drama of all things gets 600+ replies in a matter of 2 hours. Yea Forums isn't the worst board when it comes to this stuff but yeah mods could do a better job sniping cross boarders.
>turd burglar
I was literally, LITERALLY saying to myself "no one's used that phrase since what, the 80s" yesterday
>one of the worst and most embrassing boards this site has
Yea Forums exists
Watch American Dad
don't remind me
>It is a meta episode
>I am so clever by commenting on the comments!!
Yea Forums has always been like this. Yea Forums will always be like this. Culture wars shit has been argued about here for a decade. it is nothing new. People have had company wars since its inception. The vast majority of threads are trash. A tiny few are good. This has always happened.
The only thing that is changed is you. You are more triggered and bothed by it. See, if you weren't bothered. You would have never even made the thread. Ironically, you're asking others to ignore something which you can't ignore.
There are janitor applications open
His art ruined this run. So fucking ugly.
Of only you knew how right you were
Only dumbasses apply to be janitors.
what are you /x/
Dilate
I prefer /pol over all the faggots and tranny's waiting to take this board over.
Amen.
this so much
>if you want there to be less /pol/ stuff
If more /pol/ stuff makes the fags and tumblrites fuck off, then I want more /pol/ stuff
If they don't fuck off the board will forever be shit anyway so who gives a shit.
The implication that the ratio of primary subject to secondary (or tertiary) thread topics hasn't changed drastically is laughable. Fuck off newfaggot.
You're the newfag. Shitposting has always existed. You're the one that is so upset about it that you had to make a thread about it. You couldn't even ignore my post but expect others to ignore threads?
The aesthetic of shitposting has changed, but it has always existed and will always exist. 99% of threads are garbage. On occasion you have a good discussion or meme. That is it.
Quit being so pathetic.
This, devil you know is better than the devil you don't
>muh /pol/ boogeyman
The problem is sjws and always has been.
You're willfully misunderstanding my post you fucking nigger. This board used to be about comics and cartoons, not the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The quality of the posts is completely irrelevant to this fact. Kill yourself.
I wish it were that easy, OP. I try to live by those examples, but sometimes I wonder if the board is even worth saving anymore. Like maybe this really is the way of the world. As the old guard starts to disappear, and the newbies flood in, not caring about the board's culture or ways, bringing their own bullshit in to supplant it... Maybe the board deserves to burn. Maybe it all deserves to burn.
Oh and not everyone who disagrees with you is OP, double nigger
People have always talked about off topic shit. Get real. Why are you so offended by this shit? Start a thread, talk about shit. No one cares. People talked about superhero movies back then too. I wasn't talking about post quality. I was literally telling you that the same off topic shit has always existed.
I think you'll kill yourself first, considering how upset you get that people post off topic shit... on Yea Forums. You are autistic as fuck. Your post isn't even about comics and cartoons, or the even the MCU... stop shitting up the board.
Your post isn't about comics and cartoons. Stop shitting where we live.
If you think Yea Forums is embarrassing than you clearly haven't seen Yea Forums, /r9k/, Yea Forums or heaven forbid Yea Forums. Certain dedicated spammers have also made /trash/ unbearable.
Why are you so offended by my posts? Writing essays in response. Please improve the lives of everyone around you by ending your own.
>spam Yea Forums with bait threads
>WHY ARE PEOPLE TROLLING
>essays
So now you're retarded too? It takes two seconds to type.
You'll be dead soon user. No one will care.
>I troll you!
I'd say the guy claiming this has always been a movie board would be the retard in this situation, but hey apparently I'm triggered for replying to you in any context. And I agree no one will care of I die, however that's not the case for you. People will be happy when it happens.
Christ, Leute. What part of
>You want there to be less trolling, ignore it.
do you not get?
Per his replies this kind of posting is good and should be supported. Stop being triggered faggot.
People will dance on your grave.
Mom, people on Yea Forums aren't talking about cartoons! I'm so mad!
Not responding to /pol/ doesn't get rid of /pol
letting someone deface public property doesn't dissuade them from defacing public property
you have to stand up to them
the whole idea that /pol/ is just trolling us to fuck with us is the wrong narrative--they legitimately want the board to turn into a shithole filled with people like them
I get it user, you want Yea Forums to be better. Making better threads isn't enough, you have to actively make this the kind of place where /pol/ doesn't want to be
But again, and this is the most important point, /pol/ doesn't think of themselves as trolls so ignoring them doesn't stop them
Please, respond to /pol/ by telling them to fuck off with their /pol/ shit
No, no, remember, as you said here:
>>No one will care
>inb4 "t-t-that wasn't ME!"
You're absolutely right, manufactured tribalism is a cancer.
Fucks enjoy.
>Yea Forums is considered one of the worst and most embrassing boards this site has
No one thinks that
I get what you're trying to say and I agree with the sentiment. But your proposed solutions just won't function. Sure, you can ignore trolls and they'll mostly go away, but not responding to /pol/tards just makes them think they're in a safe hugbox of racist sentiment. The only solution is to beat them at their own game - for every thread they try to turn into a racewar or gaybashing session, turn 2 more into positive, affirming messages about how being brown or gay is okay and natural, nothing to be ashamed of or angry about. Every time they try to politicize a thread, miscontextualizing some random out of context panel or screenshot into a twisted amalgamation of itself to support their medieval ideals, push fucking back. Don't let them gain ground on Yea Forums, give them no place to spread their ridiculous ideals.
You're just promoting another form of tribalism.
Oh no, people on Yea Forums are talking off topic and shit about the MCU! Better tell strangers to kill themselves!
/pol/ faggots do. They think that the fact that this board is generally more left-leaning makes it a disgrace to the NEET/WASP paradise conception of Yea Forums they have in their heads
Stop crying
That wasn't manufactured (I mean, literally, it was, but the intention is honest rather that an extension of a for profit agenda).
Oh no, people are telling me to fuck off with my garbage posts, better write diatribes about how it's actually good for the board! Oh, and fucking kill yourself.
The only ones who use the "it has always been like this" excuse are literally the newfags trying to justify their shittiness and unwilling to lurk
the tribalism already exists, the only way to win is to fight fire with fire. /pol/ is so effective at invading other boards because there's so many of them and they have no boundaries, no respect, and legitimately value "lib bashing bantz" over honest discourse about literally anything. So fucking fight back. They start shitting up our board? Don't just ignore that shit, let them muck it up some more. Fight back, respond. Hell, go to /pol/ and fuck with them, too
>Board
Try site, but this is the only place on the internet where I can discuss my favorite shit and call people faggots without getting banned at the same time so I guess culture warriors and actual unironic neo-nazis are the trade off for that
lol meta threads are and have always been allowed, newfag. Get fucked.
Protip: if the only comeback you can think up of is "that's against the rules", and can't even bother to make sure that's true, you've already lost
>Yea Forums is left leaning
Only because most of the users of this board can resist the urge to go into fits screaming NIGGER anytime they see a character darker than ghost white. Hell Yea Forums goes apoplectic anytime they see a black character, even CJ and Barret cause retards to freak out
You fags lost your chance, shoulda tried to follow Yea Forums's elitist way but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the literally homestuck tumbr fags have rights too, they will totally not shit up the place, see guise they let them have a general surely placing a gargantuan piece of shit right in the middle of the house wont attract maggets and flies at all, oh wow Yea Forums turned into literal tumblr now how did this happen?
I think it's time for comfy Invision forums to make a comeback. I ain't goin to Reddit.
Maybe an anonymous forum with everything, even post counts, but the usernames?
Schizophrenia, bad parenting, or the American public education system?
>Make an anonymous forum
>Username
Generals are containment threads retard. They do the exact opposite of what you're claiming. The banning Steven Universe Generals is a perfect example of how wrong you are.
But Yea Forums is dildos
There is no such thing as containment thread, the only thing you are doing is giving the maggots a place to live and then somehow be surprised when they got bored of their thread and decided to shit up other place too. Then came the newfags who saw this shit and thought this is normal Yea Forums behavior and followed suit, thus resulted in a circle of vicious shitposting
Better than being a literal warzone between /pol/ and tranny SJWs.
So how /pol/ operates, essentially
oh totally, but the fact that THAT is enough for people on some other boards to think of this as an "sjwtranniefest" speaks volumes about the quality of this site's users
I like Yea Forums better than Yea Forums because at the very least Yea Forums is dedicated to their board
Yea Forums is great because it's a lot more chill and there's less general faggotry, but Yea Forums is hard to get used to which makes it easy to have more consistent discussion without newfags and crossboarders shitting the place up
No, banning generals and attempting to drive them out releases the deadly toxins, once contained, across the board.
>Yea Forums's elitist way
Like having half a dozen shit posting generals stinking up the board. The fact that DBS, Attack on Titan and Hunter X Hunter fan bases were allowed to become festering boils is a goddamn travesty
>/pol/ faggots do
And they're the complete antithesis of what this site is meant to be and act like the same retarded middle-aged moralfags/christfags we spent over a decade mocking so who gives a fuck.
Spamming nigger is fine if it's just for shits and giggles like it used to be but /pol/fags somehow warped electric retard-tier shit and funny jokes about niggers being dumb and liking watermelon into boomer LARPing and posting le ebin based r/thedonald essays about crime statistics and think that somehow makes them 'our guys'.
>Dragon Ball Super
>Attack on Titan
>Quintuplets
>One Piece
>Kimetsu no Yaiba
>Iseaki
Yea Forums is full of generals they just don't actually call them "Generals" but these series and several others have constant threads multiple times a day everyday that reach max post limit. How the fuck does that Quintuplet show have so many threads at least the others have legit hundreds of chapters to parse through
AoT and HxH are both great series. Their fan bases may suck, but the quality of the story is responsible for the interest.
Maybe but you don't need a constant general that just turns the threads into a cespit. Just look at the Attack on Titan general, its a shitshow of the highest order. A thread per chapter (maybe a few more if it's an especially crazy one) is acceptable not a constant shitposting fest
Shitposting is the ONLY reason Yea Forums exists. Why be offended by it?
Are you literally retarded. It was sarcastism.
>The only ones who use the "it has always been like this" excuse are literally the newfags trying to justify their shittiness and unwilling to lurk
No, newfags like you believe that Yea Forums is some mythic place because of some greentext pictures you have seen on reddit.
Boards move fast. Shit gets posted all the time. You just filter it and remember the good.
I never said it was good for the board. Just that it has always existed. Just filter it out. Stop being literally retarded. Oh and kill yourself.
It was literally pisstaking because they are so upset about off topic posts.
Why don't you go to reddit where things are heavily moderated since you don't like Yea Forums culture?
"go to reddit", the last refuge of an intellectual coward. Engage motherfucker.
IF THE POST STINKS
DON'T REPLY
See user, the thing is I agree. But what you see as cancer is not always the same to me. And for every user this much is true, everyone wants to get a (You)
"The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users, by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action."
Both sides are the problem, pol doesn't give a fuck about co. Seriously the /pol/ you think you see are either people being idiots or run of the mill racists who just wanna shit post anonymously. If you keep the conversation to comics or cartoons the conversation will stay that way. But you don't actually want that do you?
People tend only to bring up the 'both sides' argument when their side is the problem. But I can't know your intent, just as you can't know
So fuck off.
it isn't any kind of last refuge. If people are so generally offended by topics on the board they can ignore them except they never do. They just continually post about them.
People talk about boards being invaded, but it isn't true. People just come here and shit post and you all respond to it. Heck, even this thread is bait.
You're just as guilty as shitting up the board as anyone else. But at the end of the day, guess what? IT DOESN'T MATTER! We are anonymous. The thread gets deleted. The board is renewed. You have another option to post something.
If you choose to post about culture wars and to respond to it, that is all you'll engage with.
>over honest discourse
Read the thread. Does it sound like honest discourse?
I know you hate centrists, fence sitters or whatever. But shit people exist on both sides. This thread is full of people for and against OP telling each other to kill themselves. Is this honest discourse? Or is it only honest when the side you agree with does it?
And this applies to 'reddit' in what way? Other than a short hand for shutting down things you don't agree with in some bizarre group shaming virtue signal. This site predates reddit by two years, and people have always disagreed here.
>But you don't actually want that do you?
Actually i would love that, though I certainly don't think that a bit of off-topic discussion is a problem
> If you keep the conversation to comics or cartoons the conversation will stay that way
objectively false, literally every discussion thread with a decent amount of posts will invariably veer off-topic. that's human nature.
>pol doesn't give a fuck about co
/pol/ isn't a hivemind, i'm sure many posters on the board don't care. and i'm not accusing /po/ of organizing raids on Yea Forums (though they have literally done that in the past), either.
What i'm saying is that the mindset of /pol/, that vitriolic, baseless hatred of anything not aligned with their worldview and their self-images, has spread to so much of Yea Forums like an infection. there's many, many reasons as to why this is a bad thing, but if nothing else, it's a detriment to the good discussion that you yourself value so highly
>Both sides are the problem
oh please, there's certainly some leftie shitposting but if you think that's anywhere within several orders of magnitude of what the right is doing on this sight you are either blind or willfully ignorant. There's a reason most people who don't use Yea Forums consider it to be a site for alt-right extremists
Oh come on there are raids on to co everyday from discords and resetera, just because you bitches think that any sort of lewdness or banter means sexism or racism doesn't mean theirs malice. You fuckers fighting so hard about literally nothing has exacerbated to problem into it becoming an actual problem, and it wouldn't be as bad if you had anything valuable to add but you don't its either have sex or incel or yikes. So fuck off back to your own corner of the internet until you bring anything of value to the table
What are you actually on about? I am fine with people disagreeing. The person I was arguing with was angry that Yea Forums is somehow all off topic.
There are plenty of other places online to discuss things if they think here is so bad.
>If you want there to be less /pol/ stuff, stop responding to it. You want there to be less trolling, ignore it. You want the company war bullshit to stop, don’t participate in threads about company wars.
They literally just bump their own threads though. This shit hole is 100% on the mods.
>What i'm saying is that the mindset of /pol/, that vitriolic, baseless hatred of anything not aligned with their worldview and their self-images
One side attempts to quell the hatred of themselves by blaming it on others, another attempts to quell the hatred of others by blaming it on themselves. No one ends up saying anything and we all just stay mad and huddled alone together.
>People talk about boards being invaded, but it isn't true
dude, go into the archives. Yea Forums a year ago was nowhere near as politicized as it is these days. All of this stuff is coming from SOMEWHERE
>Heck, even this thread is bait.
maybe. but OP raised some good points that i thought were worth responding to
>You're just as guilty as shitting up the board as anyone else
eh i'm probably in like the 90th percentile but i'm nowhere near as bad as some people
> IT DOESN'T MATTER!
yes, yes it does. Sure threads get deleted, but over time the general attitudes expressed in threads begin to color the attitude of the board in general. And frankly, i enjoy being able to discuss comics and cartoons in relative peace
>If you choose to post about culture wars and to respond to it, that is all you'll engage with.
Nah i engage with tons of stuff outside of it. But I do think that these are important (relatively speaking) issues which deserve discussion and cannot be ignored
Nah man. I come here *for* the lewdness and banter. I like that its barely moderated. What I don't like (and hey that's maybe just me) is every other discussion devolving into some muh SJW bullshit, of preaching /pol/ talking points unironically. I don't even disagree with some of this shit, yeah companies pander to minorities, but that isn't anything new and it isn't worth losing your shit over. Fucking Claremont Xmen is like a UN meeting and it was 40 years ago. But don't complain about lewdness and banter without calling bullshit on people who essentially want a christian ethnostate as their ultimate goal, because that is fucking hypocritical. They will ban fucking everything. What are you bringing to the table?
>dude, go into the archives. Yea Forums a year ago was nowhere near as politicized as it is these days. All of this stuff is coming from SOMEWHERE
You don't seem to listen, but I am trying to level with you and be straight. You don't seem to believe people but I'll try. Please take this in good faith.
I haven't been on Yea Forums for years. I only came back recently. Even all those years ago, there was the same political stuff. I am talking 4+ year gap. And all the years I browsed back then, there was the same stuff.
You can disagree all you want, but everytime you complain about the quality of a board, you aren't talking about the board but Yea Forums. Yea Forums culture has always had dodgy shit. All it means is you got to ignore the awful stuff and find the good.
The problem is far too many people play themselves. You could discuss comics and cartoons in peace in another thread by ignoring threads like this and not engaging with trolls. Everytime you engage it gets no where.
>users telling you to kill yourself over the quality of your posts
>moderation
Pick one and only one
>l-leave
No you faggot, if you don't like me telling you to fuck off go somewhere where you don't get told to fuck off
a lot of it does sound like honest discourse if I'm being honest. Sure there's some shitposts, and some people are more extreme than others, but i'd wager that a lot of people in this thread are honestly expressing their opinions.
And i don't hate centrists. Though I personally lean pretty far left I do value their contribution to (not to overuse the word) popular discourse
> But shit people exist on both sides.
Sure, totally, absolutely. Off the top of my head i can name a dozen liberals who have committed all sorts of crimes. But that's not the point which I was trying to make. look around Yea Forums for 5 minutes. browse any random selection of boards. the right, especially the extreme right, are vastly more vocal about their political views on this site than the left. They, much more so than libcucks, derail threads and devolve discussions into meaningless debates about (for example) race and gender politics
>Or is it only honest when the side you agree with does it?
Honest discourse is honest discourse. People speaking openly and honestly about their opinions while respecting those of others, and not intentionally misrepresenting either themselves or their counterparts in an attempt to further their point. In the context of Yea Forums, telling people to kill themselves is pretty normal and accepted. We even have fun little euphemisms and acronyms for it, like an hero and KYS. i think that's just part of our culture. Outsiders may think it's crazy and offensive but idgaf, it's part of who we are.
Can you even read? Christ. You're retarded.
>what are you bringing to the table?
A certain musk, a small handful of storytimes, A passionate hatred for miles and most things Bendis, a general enjoyment of most other comic characters. I dunno I call out shit when I can but to say that there's a right way to browse this site or just blaming a couple of racist autists who can't help but be successfully baited everytime someone needs a fight. I post in threads I want to talk in fight in threads I want to fight in and ignore the rest, what more do you want? Usernames so you can bock people inherently? The site has already been split so maybe that's the path hiro wants to take
>Pretend that this place isnt filled to the brim with normalfaggotry and literal tumblr users and their twitter screenshot threads now
>B-but it was just a measly 7 before so it is the same as our 2 now
Kill yourself
i believe you. Yea Forums has been political for a long time. But it most certainly HAS spiked in the past few years, especially recently. if you don't believe me on that, ok. We can agree to disagree.
>You could discuss comics and cartoons in peace in another thread by ignoring threads like this and not engaging with trolls. Everytime you engage it gets no where.
I am currently discussing comics and cartoon in 3 other threads. Multitasking isn't hard. I'm kind of venting here. Not trying to feed any trolls, just voicing my opinion. I don't really see any problem with that
>look around Yea Forums for 5 minutes. browse any random selection of boards. the right, especially the extreme right, are vastly more vocal about their political views on this site than the left
I see plenty of derailing on both sides. /r9k/ is full of trans people derailing that whole board. It isn't any single side. The fact that you can't see that is so damn frustrating.
I see both sides doing it in the same amounts all the time. And it only works because people get drawn into it so easily. Guess what? Threads wouldn't be derailed if there wasn't disagreement. The idea that everyone on this site leans a certain way politically is ridiculous.
It is because Yea Forums is already fucking cancer back in 2015 you fucking retarded newfag. When people are talking about the "good ol' days" they mean 2009 and before
>i believe you. Yea Forums has been political for a long time. But it most certainly HAS spiked in the past few years, especially recently. if you don't believe me on that, ok. We can agree to disagree.
It honestly hasn't. Really. It is just that political situation and polarisation feels more intense for people. The media certainely doesn't help.
People have this perception that things are suddenly ten times more political than any time in the past but is it? Throughout the 1970s you have left wing radicals bombing shit. The idea that it is suddenly worse now is silly.
I don't want to block anyone, and I certainly don't want usernames. And I agree with you on Bendis. He hasn't done anything worth a fuck since Siege. But I fucking hate /pol/. They ruin everything they touch, either by turning people into them, or causing media to earn clicks antagonizing them. I just fucking hate them, and their entire support system, so much.
If you actually read what I said, I stopped browsing 4 years ago.
But I was browsing for years before that. I know when the best days were.
> /r9k/ is full of trans people derailing that whole board
literally browsing it right now and I see nothing of the sort
>I see both sides doing it in the same amounts all the time.
at this point you're either trolling or utterly ignorant
Actually go on the catalogue...
It is a bit rich to call me ignorant when you don't know what is going on there.
People regularly posting shit to convince depressed robots to become trans.
I feel the same way about a lot of the cuck posting but what can you do? Just ignore them when you can, report them when its called for and enjoy your life. Don't get dragged into a shit fight and don't just use buzzwords, they're better at it and it will just get worse.
B gets constant cuck and sissy threads, I don't really go on r9k, saw a dog getting lit on fire and noped the fuck out. Though when I saw the head and spinal column on b I noped outta that to so its pretty much co for me, I use to like the trek threads on TV but that became namefags getting uppity
>B gets constant cuck and sissy threads
First off i fail to see how either of those are inherently left-leaning. Second, is that spam? i think some people there genuinely enjoy the content in those threads
Look, OP is right. Something is up, the rapid increase of these e-celeb drama threads have been very fucking frequent then I EVER seen. Worse, threads that do focus on a comic cartoon subjects, instantly devolve once a poltical oppion is posted (doesn't matter what position). I'm not asking for this issue to be fixed, since that's a losing battle. But Yea Forums's environment has changed for the worse as of late.
okay
There also that asian guy who has been doing it on TV for a while, hell there's one right now. Isn't there proof that there's a discord that's also posting that cuck stuff all over the site? Someone has to have that proof saved
The only reason you notice the is because they respond to /pol/ shit. If you don't want bitches complaining about stonetoss, stop posting stonetoss threads.
They wont fuck off you fucking retarded fuck, now you are just having both diarrhea and hard rock shit on the plate
>Enjoy keying your own car and shitting in your own house for some reason
I don't think the sites worth saving, I have better luck in smaller forums, why?
Because the problems can actually be contained.
t. hasn't been to Yea Forums, /r9k/, /x/ and nu/b/
Pot, meet kettle
Look, OP, I completely agree that some changea must be made, but in order to do so, we have to focus on the main big issues of this board.
First of all, the deal with /pol/ has always been that retards come here and post "wah, this image triggered me, fuck you all, you must get equally as mad as me or you're a cuck/trannie/etc" and that is simply due to the overgrowing cancer that is the Outrage Culture from places like Twitter and Resetera. You know how we can stop shit like this? It's simple
>Remind everyone Yea Forums is not your personal army, whatever kind of attempt to do stupid shit on anything not related to the main topic (comics/cartoons) should be met with an instant ban, no matter who the person or issue is, because we're not fucking kids.
>Social media outrage threads (Twitter posts not related to a comic/cartoon, tumblr controversies, "look ma, this animator is against Republicans/Democrats", etc) should be banned as well if the only purpose is to simply go and overreact at anything.
>Reinforce the rule that quality posts matter, if a fucking faggot comes here and wants to act like from another place, kindly make them go the fuck out to that place.
Now, the other issue is with company wars shitposting, especially with live-action movies, and the issue is more difficult, as this is straight up a problem of Yea Forums, Yea Forums and actual company-cocksuckers fucking any attempt to legit talk about something, but it's nothing that can't be fixed.
>Force max 3 threads per day to talk about a live-action movie, and make the same thing Yea Forums does with blatant fanboyism/flame threads reporting.
>Baneposting, Sneedposting and Snyderposting have overstayed their welcome, so do what Yea Forums did and send that kind of stupidity to /trash/, or Yea Forums
>Anything not discussing the movie (celeb drama, box office grossing measuring, m-m-muh stale pastas) are also prunnable.
However, there's a bigger issue that should be addressed. And this is one that not a lot of people have noticed.
Look at this motherfucker being reasonable. GTFO. Go back to Fark.
You niggers can talk nice and all but the fact is that Yea Forums mods are literally from tumblr. You cant cure something that is already rotten
We do talk nice and all.
(2/2)
And you know what the real issue is? It's quite simple, and yet either mods are blatantly ignoring this or are really bad at things.
It's simply that /r9k/ shitposters are now leaking way more than anything before.
Let's look at last year, and for example, stupid buzzwords like "cope", "seethe", "trannies" or "dilate" were almost non-existent in daily Yea Forums threads. When did they start appearing? When, conveniently, /r9k/ users went and talked about how people who crossdressed were getting their pics and vital stuff taken by some people in Discord servers, and instead of doing anything to fight-back, like Yea Forums always tends to do, they instead allowed it to grow, and went only to call people that are "against" their shitposting "trannies", even though there was clear indication the real fucked up people were crossdressers, weird though as sites like Yea Forums, /pol/ (please don't try to deny it, people KNOW) and Yea Forums LOVE crossdressers. But let's go with even more realizations. Furries getting back into their bullshit? Users of these boards are siding with them "ironically". E-celeb drama? Users of these boards are defending these "ironically". Anything that is giving them power to continue their autistic shit-flinging is being defended by a lot of retards, and I'm afraid even some janitors/mods are allowing this on purpose.
So really, the deal is that Hiromootwo and the rest have to put some serious stop to this asinine act, because I feel idiots forgot the main rule in Yea Forums: "it's shitposting/bannable even if it's ironic".
TL;DR: we need moderators 24/7 who actually care about Yea Forums and for people to stop ban evading.
That's not happening anytime soon, even OP is being more reasonable than you by expecting people on Yea Forums to not be assholes.
Ah, I've been wondering where the "discord tranny" insult came from, seemed oddly specific.
(Extra/2)
Now, this is just some personal opinions, and there is also this thing that gets bothersome.
Were things better previous to 2016? Yes, we were at a stage where GG and the US elections hadn't made a lot of people here take a side "for fun", and the biggest problem people had was with the horse board existing still. Can things change to pre-2012 era? No, even if some people don't want it, things have changed for good, and way more for the bad, but this isn't a lost battle. What people can do is try to understand that we aren't perfect, but we came here to both talk about new stuff, laugh at the retardness of ANYONE and get to show or discuss, but at the end of the day, it's to have fun. If we want to keep that, then we need to remember the old rules of the game, and follow them (to a point, it's ok to deviate a little) or else no one wins, not even shitposters.
Also, imho, we must take a stand against people who seriously believes in insane practices like shilling, creating drama and forcing shitposters, because some people have been proven to be actually insane and doing more damage to themselves and others than support.
No, you doofus. I'm exactly talking that these are things that mods can do, yes, but at the end of all things, we as a userbase also have the power to enforce it. Yes, it's not going to be easy, but it can be done.
>we as a userbase also have the power to enforce it.
But we don't, aside from ignoring shitposting, which is what OP is suggesting. Off topic and shitposting threads can stay up for hours even when reported, mods just don't frequent the board enough and don't really care about its state.
Because most people here are just being defeatists. We still can get to see threads in this board where spamming shitposters get all their posts deleted, we still can see blatant shitpost threads not last longer than 30 minutes.
We can change, but the change also has to grow on each other and stop letting indifference continue to dominate in this board.
Yes because once every blue moon a mod who actually lurks Yea Forums is around for a few hours. That's not most mods.
Indifference remains the best weapon against bait, user.
You just need to follow the way of Accelspammer
That's basically an unpaid job, might as well be a full on janny at that point.
Do it for the thing you love
not when /pol/ exists
If you actually want to discuss comics go to a discord group with a bunch of friends/people that actually want to discuss
Yea Forums is full of outrage peddlers and bait. And given the anonymous nature, even if you call them out on their bullshit nothing happens. Any “discussion” is scant
Nice bait. Now take your (you) and fuck off.
>If you want there to be less /pol/ stuff, stop responding to it.
Oh for fucks sake with this lie. How about you stop labeling everything under the sun as "/pol/", that'd be a virtually 100% reduction in it.
Yea Forums is a total chad board, you're just too used to the bubble that is Yea Forums
t.sneedposter
>the right, especially the extreme right, are vastly more vocal about their political views on this site than the left. They, much more so than libcucks, derail threads and devolve discussions into meaningless debates about (for example) race and gender politics
They're not though, you're just used to everyone who displays wrong think being auto-banned everywhere else
No. Yea Forums was my favorite board for years and subhumans ruined everything. I hope this board crash and burn and every fag redditor die in terrible way.
Oh I hate thinking about what they did to this board, I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best place on the fucking internet I'd ever been too. I'll always love that place for getting me into animation again and opening me open to comics. But I'll also always fucking hate these disingenuous motherfuckers that absolutely hate animation and comics that continue to rape what this place is now.
>the right, especially the extreme right, are vastly more vocal about their political views on this site than the left
Because they 1. are afraid of the true liberalism Yea Forums entails 2. get shitposted into oblivion.
Yea Forums is a passive board made for people who only consume a passive medium. If you can sit there like a chucklefuck and watch, then that's all you need. It's babby's first board, and the content shows.
obsessed
I still think a lot of the problems would be fixed by having a /toon/ board for non-anime cartoons and a real Yea Forumsmic book board for comic books and related media like live action shows and movies. Just that alone would make Yea Forums, Yea Forums and /toon/ fags happy.
Hell there probably should be a weiaboo Yea Forums and a mainstream/action Yea Forums board so they can be happy too. One board for otaku neckbeards and the other for regular people/spics who just want to hype out on DBS and stuff. If i had it my way I would force JoJo onto otaku Yea Forums tho where it belongs because it's unironically gay as shit. If you don't think it's gay then you may have to look in a mirror real hard bub
Ban live action shit so all the tumblr niggers and Yea Forums niggers who came here because of live action shit will fuck off
>The left drags identity politics and culture wars into literally every aspect of existence
>Grrr I hate /pol/
You're hating a symptom instead of the disease
>Create the MLP plague
>Actually think the rest of the site doesn't think you're a giant piece of shit
You ugly obese cunts are delusional
Except that even Yea Forums told bronies to fuck off after a while. You think we liked having fans of what amounts to a little girl's show run amok on our board and hijack our threads?
Why do you think /mlp/ was created?
>You fags lost your chance, shoulda tried to follow Yea Forums's elitist way
Yea Forums was the most coddled board on Yea Forums for most of its existence. Yea Forums did not have mods and moot reinforcing their board culture by sending Yea Forums shit they didn't like to Yea Forums or Yea Forums nor did Yea Forums have 5-7 niche boards like /jp/ to get rid of certain people.
You still created it. Don't think others have forgotten that
A thread about not replying to bait.
The second reply, a bait, has eight replies.
Off to a great start.
No, it's hopeless.
This
>tfw we could unironically use "love and tolerate" again
user, the fags and tumblrites are from /pol/.
>No one is going to fix this board for us
If mods actually did their jobs, then we wouldn't have to fix anything. But every single bait thread stays up unless it contains literal pornography or mlp, because god forbid we have actual cartoons on the board instead of some twitter screencap thread where people complain about trannies.
Modern cartoons are bait about the LGBT community. Every single one has to have some sort of representative. You can't separate the two.
You know it deep in your heart OP. You know it will never go away, it will only grow! Soon every Simpsons thread will be spammed by Sneed. Every movie, cartoon threads will become even worse battleground between fans and shills. Pepes and Wojaks will litter the Catalog
There is no damn escape! It's only a matter of time before we truly turn into Yea Forums2.0
So fucking what. I still don't care to read about some literal who's opinion on twitter that some literal who's on this board can get mad about and make 3 separate threads with various degrees of "is he right" to "fuck trannies". I want to read some goddamn comics.
See if they'll split comics and cartoons up then. Children's cartoons won't stop pandering any time soon since it's easier than a well-written story.
No. Post more comics instead of making twitter threads.
Splitting up the board just guarantees that the comic portion of the split would get most of the Yea Forums /pol/ posters
Cartoons have LGBT representation in nearly every single series. Why would /pol/ follow comics when it's so much easier triggering people about cartoons?
People don't actually want to discuss comics on here though. They just want to get mad at whatever new comic has something they can get mad and ignore the other titles that are fine. I've seen people admit that they only come to Yea Forums on Wednesdays to skim through Storytimes just find shit to outrage farm.
Because comics have MCU and other movies which are 100x more popular then cartoons. Not to mention that shit like Stonetoss would fall under the comic catagory
>storytime comic
>lots of people like it
>some people try to outragefarm with bait threads
>mods ban bait threads
wow, so hard
All meta discussion belongs on /qa/
Everyone, help improve Yea Forums by reporting this thread for being off topic.
Too bad mods don't do there job
/pol/ is so effective at invading other boards because they don't even have to invade other boards. People with them living rent-free in their heads do it for them. any minor, off-color post or opinion that would have elicited a chuckle on old Yea Forums now results in people screaming "POL, POOOOOOLLLLL" when they could have just ignored it and it would have gone unanswered like the lame bait it is. Most of it isn't even /pol/fag opinions, it's just slightly nonconformist opinions that almost everyone has.
If people would stop being angered by nonconformity, this shit would stop. Or at the very least be very muted. Right now anything remotely left or right leaning, anything that isn't a boilerplate copy+paste opinion from another thread, results in pic related for 500+ posts.
Same with topics and OP's that might exist in the same galaxy as a political opinion of some kind.
That isn't to say people don't bait, but the vast, vast, vast majority of temper tantrums I've seen on Yea Forums are people seeing a very minor political thing and exploding like a bundle of TNT that coats the whole thread in autism. Not even giving a minor post a simple "I disagree" or "You're an idiot". Instead going on a warpath about /pol/, tumblr, resetera, twitter, etc. etc. etc.
This.
It takes two to tango just like it takes two to shitpost. No one is fighting a brave "culture war" on Yea Forums, they're mashing a turd into the carpet and spreading it around. Then complaining that there's shit everywhere.
Meta threads are pure cancer because at their absolute best, they consist of nothing but complete retards with horribly sorted priorities incessantly and impotently bitching and moaning about a board's quality instead making a worthwhile attempt to improve it.
Furthermore, meta threads at their worst are a divide and conquer tactic employed by trolls where they complain about problems that they themselves are directly responsible for, they do this in an attempt to persuade anons to either stop coming here or join in on their sociopathic crusade to ruin this site purely for the sake of acquiring a fleeting sense of sadistic pleasure. They possess the exact same mentality as a common drug addict. Since they think like a drug addict, they should be treated like one and either be rehabilitated of their unacceptably anti social behavior, removed from society, or outright euthanized if they prove to be beyond saving.
Also, meta threads are against >>>/global/rules/8 and >>>Yea Forumsrules/1 so they should be reported as soon as possible and as much as possible.
If /pol/ gets deleted I would be happy. I wouldn't care that other boards would get invaded by the refugees just the fact that /pol/ gets deleted would enough
>What i'm saying is that the mindset of /pol/, that vitriolic, baseless hatred of anything not aligned with their worldview and their self-images, has spread to so much of Yea Forums like an infection.
Yeah, and here too. That's why if you just ignored it; it would go away. No one is 'raiding' Yea Forums. You're seeing more and more posts that get under your skin. If you didn't let it get under your skin; you would stop noticing them.
>I wouldn't care that other boards would get invaded by the refugees just the fact that /pol/ gets deleted would enough
Why though? People already complain about seeing crossboarders on other boards. What do you think will happen if the containment board goes away?
We went through this previously, years ago, here's a hint: They didn't go away.
Shitposting would probably be down if words like SJW,Tranny,OHNONONONOOOOO,cuck and other shit get filitred. There should also probably be some e-celeb board.
