/baw/ - General Discussion

Is it me or does /co/ just hate just about everything?

>>391858
The 4chan community in general hates just about everything.

>>391858
It wasn't always like this.
We used to enjoy what we watched and read.

>>391866

We came here to get away from the eternal pessimism of The Old World.

>>391867
Sometimes it finds us but usually gets bored and moves on.

>My fucking face when I literally just found out you can save 4chan filenames with Downthemall.

FUCK

ALL THOSE NUMBERS

>>391887
The annoying thing is when you only want to download a subset of them, but still a large set.

This whole "OP can't bump his own thread" is so much bullshit. It used to be that storytime threads helped prevent /co/'s front page from being on big mass of general threads. Now, the generals are crowding out the storytime threads, simply because people are too busy reading the stories to comment.

Your fortune: Bad Luck

>>391934
It is bullshit considered how people on /co/ respond to any and all troll threads and people that actually want to troll just change their IP so they can bump the threads. I would be even more upset if most storytimes lately weren't just new comics or shitty events.

>Captcha now clears out after a few seconds.
Well fuck. When did this start happening and why didn't I notice till just now?

Your fortune: Good Luck

>>391991

Changing captcha has been around for a while. I believe it was done to stop people from spamming. They'd fill out like 50-100 captchas and use a script to post several times within a few minutes.

While we're on the subject of captcha, I really wish it wasn't on the reports as well. Captcha has been pretty shit lately, and sometimes I have to fill it out multiple times just to report posts. This is really starting to discourage me from reporting shitposters.

It would be nice if they could make Captcha on a karma/frequency system. Every day after you get X successful captchas you only have to do if you post more than once an hour (or half hour, or something). But that would work against 4chan Pass, which probably helps with the billz. I notice that most of the ads are about 4chan itself, though I don't know if the Pass is keeping the lights on entirely or if they're still having a bitch of a time finding advertisers...

>>391998
Oh the captcha itself doesn't change. The fill out bar simply clears out what I had typed up. Sometimes in the middle of typing it.

Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger

>>392016

Oh yeah, that happens to me and I don't know why. It's annoying as shit.

http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/62022199/

This? Deleted? WAT?

>>392049
It was taking room and they need more space to advertise godzilla, facebook games and reactionface+greentext dumps. /co/ has standards you know!

AHAHA, 4 day ban for starting a perfectly legitimate fanservice thread. Because apparently comic book characters in Swimsuits is not /co/ related.

It's gone now but some one posted a political cartoon and it went full on /pol/ for hours.

>>392126
The usual. that shit stays until bump limits because mods only check for the OP pic anyway. Same with posting QC or Sinfest just to shitpost about feminism and trannies right at the second post.

>>392141
>A few hours later the thread was deleted and I was b&. WAT.
My guess would be global ban for the thread. Which is stupid. Poppy his in no way furry shit. Mods complete ignorance about the content of what they moderate is astounding at time.

>>392145
Mister Twister made the thread so when he got banned, all his posts were deleted including the thread. Don't make it seem like this was an attack on furries or Poppy. He should not have been banned for what he said though.

>>392143
Maybe 5?

Also, I wonder if anyone else from this thread got b& as well. And if yes, why aren't they complaining about it here? After all, this is the place to do that.

damnit 4chan
>shit post angrily
>"you can't post for 10 minutes because blablabla"
>10 minute later : can post.
>get back to work 7 hours later
>lol banned for 24h

I fail to see the logic of those delayed ban. Either do it or not, but changing mind several hours later just make them look like lunatic amateurs.

>>392269
janitors can suggest bans for moderators to look at later and decide if they want to fulfill them or not

>>392274
Pretty sure a janitor can't disable posting no matter what. deleting the post would have been way more than enough.

Are people really upset about Pym not being the star in the Ant-Man movie, or is it just /co/ being dumb?

>>392298
Yes.

If there's one thing I still like about /co/, it's their commitment to taking secret identities very seriously.

>>392307
How is it any different from other places?

>>392311
I suppose it isn't, but it's something I associate a lot with them. Being superhero centric and all.

boy, I always though mods were absent on week end, yet I got banned for a G1 ponie joke on /vp/ in less than a minute. So it's not that the mods are lazy, they are actually biased and let boards shit under porn, pseudo feminism and racism on purpose. Good to know.

Is 4chan broken again?

Server seems to have jumped to Hong Kong, in experience those are usually pretty laggy at times.

I too require further explanation.

>>392341
I use Flagfox addon to see the location of a sites servers and right now its showing it to be in Hong Kong.

What the fuck is going on over there Moot?

When the local cloudflare nodes are overburdened it will usually serve from the nodes in Hong Kong until the traffic dies down.

Could a DDOS being happening again? Been a while since seen one of those.

https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/62610931/women-are-not-heroes-despite-what-the-media-tells

If this thread reaches 100 posts I give up. This should have been deleted on sight.

That's cute.

/v/ is so fucking better during E3, I nearly wish it was a temporary board only available at this time of the year.

>>392365
It was nice to see /v/ dickride their hated enemy, EA for a while. I wonder how many new "generals" this E3 will spawn on /v/.

Wahmbulance about THIS 4chan. Can anyone write a code to stop GIFs from playing once you closed/minimized them?

>>392368
squids lolis everywhere. Qlso nintendo treehouse effectivelly handwave most discussion about non nintendo products. It was so cool

Sometimes I feel like I'm reading a fucking NAMBLA handout when I see some of the threads on the mothersite.

>two threads about casey Kasem on /co/
>Neither of them are stickied yet
>somebody tried to make a thread on /a/, met with children going WAAAH NOT RELATED, STOP TRYING TO CROSSPOST
>no thread on /mu/, because somebody from /mu/ posted in one of the /co/ threads to say that we shouldn't even bother

Sometimes, I wonder why I still give a shit about the old place.

I got permab&'d for requesting porn. Who would have guessed that was under rule #1? I swore requesting r34 was a time old tradition. Oh well. HA HA! Time for proxies!

>>392390
I wish you luck on your noble quest!

My guess would be the mod having a hate boner specifically for you.

wow, just got permabanned because of a vaguely aggressive post on /v/ against the use of anime sluts easter eggs to sell games.
Meanwhile shitting on Splatoon is moda approved, same for loli threads. OK, I'm not really sure I even want to come back. I'm not begging to such people. sayonara 4chan it's been a cool run.

Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger

And here I didn't apply to a be 4chan janitor because I doubted my ability to dedicate myself to such a fast paced board. Maybe most people think that unless they're actually so unfit for the job they don't even stop to consider how bad they might be at it.

STOP GETTING PERMABANNED!

>>392404
Thank God this shit seems mostly to happen on /v/.

I'm biased.

>feel like drawfagging
>check out drawfag thread on /a/
>don't feel like drawfagging anymore

>>392411
even though the subjects are usually "draw muh waifu doing something that makes me hard and sweaty", I admit /a/ has the best drawfags in average, no matter what /ic/ and /co/ tells you, simple styles aren't easy styles and the guys do it really well, way better than when /co/ and /ic/ try to "prove" you how "lazy" anime art is by drawing it themselves, or worse, when they try to redline/correct it.

aw shit, why are all the nice threads happening when I'm banned? Shitshitshitshitshit I'm under hard withdrawal there.

>>392412
>no matter what /ic/ and /co/ tells you, simple styles aren't easy styles
That'd be the "Jack White Theory of Skilled Simplicity?"

got my permaban removed after all, addiction is jsut too strong.

So, are Disgaea threads forbidden on ?v? or is the board really that fast that not posting in 5 minute send threads in page 10? I see that guy reposting NIS threads all day but none manage to survive more than 50 posts, which is getting annoying because it leads to lots of repost.

>>392428
>or is the board really that fast that not posting in 5 minute send threads in page 10?
Yes, it is.

https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/62987093/paranatural#p62987270

And just like that any decent or reasonable discussion about the comic and it's merits are now out the window and every /co/ thread about Paranatural is going to devolve into complaining about tumblr and SWJ and "how the comic sucks now.

Is this it? Is this what we've become now?

>>392436
It's what we've always been.

>>392436

Yeah, pretty much. You are watching an entire subset of a generation of people get old and cranky in real time. 4chan is going to be an insufferable mess once the average demographic all turns 35.

Age has nothing to do with it, Paranat threads were always plagued with noisy fanboys/girls with an insufferable ego. The 4chan fanbase was never as big as they believe it is.

YES! No longer permab&'d! I don't know why. And now I don't have to post from other computers anymore. I'm also happy that being permab&'d isn't like it use to be, allowing for lurking but no posting.

>that fucking double Korra invasion in both /co/ and /v/.

o fuck you, I planned to get back to /v/ during the obvious /co/ invasion during the new show airtime, why the fuck can't you keep that shit in one place goddamn.

Platinum is making a Korra game. That doesn't excuse their behavior but it's true.

>>392464
Too bad /v/'s korra thread are the same shit as /co/, threads started with the infamous smug korra, then imediately folled with "omg fit brown girl so hot best show ever" and people dumping cropped porn.

>>392466
Too bad frozen general is still there, though.

>>392475
Really, the best outcome would be if we forbade threads about cartoons or comics in general.

>>392466
Honestly I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand this was probably a long time coming and needed to happen eventually. On the other hand as shitty as those threads got they were self-contained and didn't interfere with the other threads.

Either way I blame the author for not finishing the damn thing.

>>392476
I wouldn't mind /co/ working like /v/, where general threads are actively removed and disliked and sent to a place where they can live away without taking up space for the lesser threads.

>>392477
Isn't Homestuck still on infinite hiatus?

>>392478
But then they'd call it /cog/ and we'd have to West Side Story it up with the motherboard.

>>392479
Well there are the Paradox Space comics now, but those weren't being talked about for some dumb reason.

>>392486
Perhaps because it's against the rules now.

>>392488
No, I meant before that, I don't remember them talking about the comics the couple times I looked at them. Also, they wouldn't have to be generals, since they could instead be talkbacks for specific stories.

>>392479
Of course it is. Honestly if he didn't waste time with Cons and Kickstarter stuff we would be done and the generals wouldn't have become so cancerous. I mean going of 200 days with no update to the main story is unacceptable. I'm surprised we didn't just end it out of spite.

He even said once that the whole deal with getting things made quickly is stretches of unbroken focus being needed to build up steam, and I'd think conventions could be a serious roadblock to that. Kickstarter, I can see being important enough to interrupt for, but that's just because of the amount of money that went into it. Even then, I think a good sense of focus would help both projects succeed relatively sooner in terms of their actual end goals.

I guess a mod on /a/ is butt blasted over Love Live selling close to 100K or something, because two generals were deleted for no reason at all.

Apparently, completely SFW on-model fanart of Maid Marian (yes, that one) is garbage outside /b/.

>>392503
Furry is furry, doesn't matter how wide-spread it is in society, it goes down on the motherboard.

The /co/ thread about the creator of Clarence sexually harassing women is on /v/ level of sexism.

/co/ treating this like it's a frame up and there's a conspiracy. And they wonder why stuff like the Paranatural thing happens.

/co/ is just awful now.

>>392505
that's because /v/ was plagged with shitty fake sexism thread for years before that on real(?) event came so nobdy wants to side the women side anymore. It's a by the book case of yelling at the wolf.

>>392512
There are a few bright spots but yea with summer rolled in its harder to find them than usual

>>392519
That's pretty awful and not really proving your point.

>>392532
What does the Holiday have to do with it?

>>392532
What are you referring to? Is there something wrong in the Steven Universe thread or do you just not want them to have a Steven Universe thread? Also is Scraps involved, cause he's an asshole?

>>392539
I assume he is referring to how some people took over the SU thread and trying to make them into 24/7 generals with fetish talk like wanting Garnet to have a dick and how Pearl's feet smell. They also tend to kiss Scraps' ass. My tinfoil hat says they probably don't like the show and are just doing this so they can go back and show how shitty the fanbase is.

>>392551

>you do not have the right to ban us. we are equal to you
El oh fucking el.

>>392551
meh. I think /b/ should have gone with a theme, like "pool's closed" or even just desuspam or something, that would have marked the event way more than generic gorespam.

>>392563
There's no point in trying to create a meme/event when the entire reason is harsh revenge.

>>392563
>like "pool's closed" or even just desuspam

Damn man that is so 2006.

>>392564
This is /b/ we're talking about. Every raid ever used to be about harsh revenge. The raid on Habbo back in 2006 was in retaliation for moderators being racist and banning black players. Even if there was a reason behind it, they treated it like a meme. Now they're treating it like serious business, spamming gore and porn? Yeah, way to go guys, you sure showed them.

Man, there hasn't been a "raid" this funny in forever. I'm pretty sure nobody is actually doing anything and yet the panic continues.

>>392566
>spamming gore and porn?
That's what I'm saying, this is pretty unimaginative and pedestrian for /b/. Memes would have been great if they'd put some thought into it.

>>392569
That is fucking hilarious.

>>392570
>this is pretty unimaginative and pedestrian for /b/
you say that as if /b/ is all of a single like mind, it was only like 10 or so people that even contributed to the flood and it's still causing a ruckus which is hilarious

anyway, gore and porn is what would keep the fire running the longest and get tumblr up in arms, so that's what we did

>>392571
>you say that as if /b/ is all of a single like mind, it was only like 10 or so people that even contributed to the flood and it's still causing a ruckus which is hilarious
12 year olds made other 12 year olds overreact to something: film at 11.

>>392573
lol, are you 12 then?

>>392571
>anyway, gore and porn is what would keep the fire running the longest and get tumblr up in arms, so that's what we did

I disagree, gore and porn are too common and versatile on the internet to have lasting shock value. A really obnoxious shitty maymay would have done more harm because lots of dumb kids would just continue using it years after, like they still do with desu and trollfaces. That's were it hurts, picture you hate that just don't fucking die, or worse, end up being liked by other people you used to like.

Man, I just went on /b/ for the first time in years because of this nonsense....has /b/ always been this easy to troll? I mean I've never even intentionally trolled before, and it's like they WANTED me to troll them.

>>392576
you don't seem to understand the special kind of retarded that tumblr is, but good luck with that

>>392578
Oh, you sweet summer child.

>SFW images of anthro characters (Peg from gooftroop, Lola's mom etc) now earn you a ban on /co/
>But only sometimes

The mods are getting silly. They hit a Milf thread and started deleting posts and issuing bans for SOME sfw anthro character pics, but ignored others, some of which were far closer to nsfw.

>No furry allowed outside of /b/

Right, this application of the rule wouldn't allow the mlp board or most of the pokemon board to exist.

>>392588
http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/63446020/

This is the thread in question.

It's weird looking at what they did delete, and kick people for, and what they didn't.

>>392588
or maybe it could occur to you that nobody give a shit about your fetishes and people are getting tired of half the active board not talking about comic and cartoons but instead share cropped porn pics and fanfics that make their dick hard and sweaty?

>>392592
Emphasis on random words doesn't make you look smart...

>>392591
You can read the thread yourself and see which people got banned and which posts were deleted.

The more pornographic material was allowed, some sfw pictures were selectively removed and posters banned. The thread in question wasn't cropped porn pics and fapfics. Hell, compare to the recent cheesecake threads, which went straight untouched.

You can't selectively enforce new rules like they are doing. That's a terrible pattern of behavior for a moderator.

>>392595
Banning on frivolous reports is also completely unacceptable mod behavior, let alone that there has clearly been a trend here where they are issuing the bans all cited under global rule 3 for furry content outside of /b/, which by all prior practice was fine so long as it was board relevant and sfw.

Any way you slice it, it's a rogue mod.

>>392596
>Banning on frivolous reports is also completely unacceptable mod behavior
I didn't say such bans happened, I just didn't know what to expect because it seemed like other such report-announcing posts tended to hang around, and wasn't sure if they just weren't being reported or rule 7 wasn't being properly enforced. Apparently the former in that particular case at least, which I find good.

Also, false and misclassified reports are in fact also against rule 7, so if a report is actually bad, banning for it is official policy.

>>392597
I'm talking about the sfw anthro character bans in /co/

There's really no way that those weren't completely uncalled for.

>>392598
Oh. Yeah, that does sound like a bad thing.

>>392610
Now that is funny.

>>392613
I didn't even intend that to be at your expense, I just like to throw things together in MS Paint and spent a lot of time pouring over textbooks.

Wow getting banned for discussing anime that someone else brought up in how it relates to the core topic (Legend of Korra) boo.

>Mod decides to start banning people all the time for not actually violating the rules
>Only issues 3 day bans so they can't be contested and draw attention to their horseshit

This is the sort of shit people left regular forums to avoid.

>>392616
I wonder how many people would eventually migrate here in 2014.

>>392614
Then I must applaud your speed. Jelly.

>>392615
mods being super defensive korrafags is nothing new, you never ever saw a korra thread deleted, even when there were 8 hogging the first page, and half of thm being fetishit or role play.

>>392610
Maybe they are finally enforcing boards theme as the medium and not the subject. I won't complain, too much movies and series and actors blogs these days on /co/

>>392622
Though that kinda stuff can't be discussed in the same way on /tv/ as it can be on /co/ since most the subject matter relates directly to the core of the property which is a cartoon and toy line.

>>392622
I bet they won't be banning anyone who discussed the GOTG movie.

All of these bans show a pattern of severely inconsistent enforcement.

Hmmm. I was banned earlier in the week for a dumb thing, but when I did a test post it didn't take me to the "your ban is over" screen. Is that normal now?

>>392639
I seriously need to know cause I don't want to be accused of ban evading. I don't know what's going on with the mods these days.

>>392640
Go to the site's FAQ. There will be a section on B&. Use the link to test yourself. That is the official method.

>>392616
Bans have been automated for a while now. That is, if you get banned for a rule, you will get the ban length associated to that rule. It's not something the staff has control about anymore.

>>392683
That's what happens when you have such bad headcanon for Dexter's Lab.

https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/63670750/it-keeps-happening

>A black woman is cast as the main female lead in the new Powers series.

>/co/ acts as about as well as you can expect.

I mean come the fuck on.

>>392721
FUCKING RADICAL

(The casting, not their racist shit.)

>>392732
>>392721
You'll excuse me if I don't understand the logic of casting a black character in a white role, particularly if it's a lead.

It's one thing if it's an original series, a remake, or a reboot. But this is an adaptation. Wouldn't it make more sense to get actors that actually look like who they're based off of?

>>392751
>character

actress* i need sleep

>>392751
IMO it all really depends on the nature of the character they're replacing. If it's a total straight adaptation where it helps to be as loyal as possible then yeah it's probably dumb, especially if it takes place in a setting like making Captain Ahab black or Mulan an Indian. But if the nature of the character is that their background can be ditched, like the important aspect of their backstory was that they grew up in modern NYC, had a good relationship with their mom and brother, and used to be a cop, then yeah it doesn't matter to me.

>>392751
Because the black actor killed it at the auditions.

>>392751
It's fucking Power Rangers man, like I get what you are saying but come on, if we were going that route they'd all be Asian then wouldn't they? Besides the off the rails nature is why American power Rangers is fun.

>>392758

>>392763
Nonsense, I got all fucked up because I read that as Power Rangers instead of Powers, my bad.

I was bored. I went on /v/ for a minute. Then I closed the tab and played some videogames to distract me from the urge to kill every human being on the planet.

>>392790
weird, I think /v/ is going pretty well recently, all you have to do is learn to recognize bait threads, that make up for 75% of the board, but once you recognize them (it's easy, it's always the same 4-5 thread subject), the rest is decent.

Korra got buried by Nick, /co/ is in flames at the moment.

Major shitstorm on /a/ and /v/ since apparently some bioware web designer bought the exclusivity of a good hundred hentai artist for his personal porn site.
This is kind of a weird turn of event but I can't see it ending peacefully.

>>392820
Actual mangaka from Japan or just several western internet artists that draw porn?

>>392820
>Bioware web designer
What? This isn't about Fakku, is it?

>What? This isn't about Fakku, is it?
well yeah it's a guy from fakku who is also a bioware senior web programmer or something.
>Actual mangaka from Japan or just several western internet artists that draw porn?
a good hundred of japanese mangaka including nichi iori and da hootch and others. Bascially everything that was published under the magazin that I don't rememeber the name is now fakku's property in the USA, and they are sending Cease and desist mails to all the American based websites at this moment.
The guy is also shitting all over 4chan's reaction openly be it on his social network or 4chan itself if I believe some /a/ screencaps.
no matter what this is a lose/lose situation. But this guy might fall from high if he continue teasing the internet like that. He clearly has no idea of what he's doing, pretending the whole world around him is about the same level as his comfy videogame forums.

>>392897
But why? If the script was getting hard to post around, then it actually reached the age where it collected enough data to actually matter, and getting rid of it just admits that there are now three /b/s. Getting too long an archive to run everything past it without taxing the CPU, I guess?

>>392898
There's only one /b/ since rule 3 wasn't removed from /r9k/. moot just made another /s4s/ yet he won't make a /pco/. He might as well change /r9k/'s name to /baw/ and be done with it.

That doesn't really explain why he'd bother getting rid of the script, though.
If it was to change up the board, I'd try taking mod and janitor deleted posts and using them as training material for an email-style spam filter that hands out similar escalating bans as the old system. Most shitposts have a distinctive style that could be recognized as easily as Viagra ads and Nigerian prince scams, though it wouldn't work for image-only posts.

And of course The site performs maintenance during Space Dandy.

>>392943
We need to find a place to have toonami threads where we can go when 4chan is broken during toonami.

Find a place, and make it so people actually know to go there when this happens since this is like the 3rd or 4th time.

They need to perform maintenance during better times.

By the time it finishes Toonami will be half over.

>getting a one day ban for linking a movie thread on /co/ to /tv/

I think it's official, Marvel/Disney bought themselves a mod to protect their advertising campaign.

>>392971
Pulling the "viral marketing" card? This shit happens with every Marvel/DC movie or where you not there when TDK dropped and a third of the board was about that movie.

The main problem is that the board was never the comics and cartoons board but the "western media" board. Until moot change those rules which he won't, movie and tv shit will be posted on the board.

The sad state of /co/.

So if I understand your complaints correctly: you are upset that the free art you are demanding is not being provided to you in the most convenient way imaginable?

It's not the sole reason, but it's kinda there. That's just the tip of the iceberg of other problems I've listed already. I know it sounds extremely childish, and I do realize I'm not owed anything and it all boils down to luck, etc, just wanted to vent in the "4chan bawwing" thread.

>>393060
Holy shit!
Are you for real?
What the fuck happened?

>>393062
He killed himself.

Dude was majorly depressed and had been snorting coke for a while.

Welp, is it true the best comedians are the most depressed ones as well.
Rest in peace, you crazy diamond!

Even at my most neutral and open minded, trying to discuss things on /pol/ is like talking to a brick wall. That really hates black people.

>>393127
And women. And gay people. And liberals. And journalists. And people wearing the wrong clothing.

>>393127
You didn't actually fall for their "/pol/ is for the open minded" shtick, did you?

>>393127
>expecting anything positive from a board where people unironically believe in national socialism while claiming to fight against the enemies of 4chan

/pol/ is the definition of Useful Idiot

>Foolz archive is kill
>denial plausibility is down

How will future generations remember 4chan now?

>>393146
Dust in the wind

The archives are saved!!!!

>4chan just rangebanned one of the biggest ISPs in Finland for no reason
I hope these fucking retarded cuntniggerfaggots all get ebola and die horribly.

HE DOES IT FOR FUCKING FREE

There was a raid on /po/ that almost wiped the entire board. It was /sp/, /tv/ or [s4s].

>>393162
Why? What happened?

Neat. The new 4chan archive is tracking /v/, along with the usual boards.

From the Zoe Quinn news to a woman merely mentioning she doesn't like how Samus is shoowing less skin than before in Smash Bros, /v/ is entirely shit today.

There's a thread with 600+ replies on /co/ filled with anons getting indignant over losing their loli and shota porn.

>>393182
This is the world we live in now.

>>393182
And since you couldn't win the argument in it you had to claim a moral high ground there, very mature.

>>393182
Less that and more the ham handed method. Since Lolicon according to whomever they are dealing with now is anything that looks to be under eighteen. Which wiped out a lot of Western Centered Artists. I really stupid deal they made there.

>>393195
Actually I just think that thread didn't belong on /co/. I didn't get into any arguments about the morality of fapping to cartoon kids.

The lady who made Steven Universe is having an AMA and /co/ is aware of it.

I don't see it ending well.

when did they become so anti woman rage at Tumblr lunatics?

>>393205
Extremist reaction to extremist behavior. When we don't have to account for our identity, we don't feel pressured to respond rationally. They feel frustrated and attacked, placed under the same unfair hyperbole that Tumblr extremists preach against, and they know it. But they're angry, so they shift into a irrational attack mental state, ironically fueling and justifying the extremists they're angry at.

>>393208
Yeah, if anything, all their fucking stupid /i/ shit does is legitimizing those extremists in the eyes of the public.

>>393218
People who don't read comics they are enraged about thread #182739

I expect nothing less from the lurkers on /co/ who only know comics that get storytimed a lot.

>>393208
Honestly they are the unfair hyperbole, and half the time they're proud of it. Even when they're not "attacking the SJWs" it's bullshit about how race mixing is unnatural or which cartoons have the best fetish material.

>>393204
/co./ stopped giving a shit about SU months ago, the franchise is in /frz/ state now, where a limited number of worshipper keeps it "present" for the sake of it. No haters gonna alter taht whole "event" because people don't give a damn anymore.

>>393252
Now I want to know the whole story.

>>393253
I don't know either. The [More Info] bit just links me to the FAQ. There is no public list of which countries and ISPs are blocked. I have no fucking idea who's responsible for this shit or what they did.

>>393241
I don't think that's true.

/co/ is awful today. Just like always I guess.

>>393256
Nah it's worse than usual, korrafags are spamming in full force about a final nobody give a shit about, especially the part that are supposed to be erotic for them and thus for us.Also now that /frz/ is dead we have shitty permanent webcomics generals filled with edits and links to fanfics, but nobody actually discussing at all.
Saturday cartoons being currently dead doesn't help. So yeah, definitely a low point for /co/ these days. Let's hope the end of summer and the arrival of new seasons clean that shit. But I doubt it, mods seems really content with that /co/, and already silence any complaint as "quality of post" so moot doesn't have to see what gets banned.

>>393266
>korrafags are spamming in full force about a final nobody give a shit about,
Yeah, geez, fuck all those people talking about the finale of a cartoon with a bunch of like-minded people on a cartoon board.

>>393266
That's not at all what I was referring to. I was talking about the dumb threads where they complain about tumbler or whoever that become echo chambers. Like the Daphne threads or the Spiderwoman threads or the other bait threads.

I got no issue with Korra since it's the finale week. Or the generals so long as they keep to themselves and eventually get back on topic. It the general negativity and need to bash things that bother me.

I wonder if the userbase's slow transition from left-leaning anarchists to neonazi central would've happened regardless of the "tumblr" culture popping up.

>>393282
It's inevitable for any site based on regular discussion that reaches critical mass, which 4chan did years ago. The more reasonable/interesting/helpful tend to get overwhelmed by the continuous stream of shitheads (be them 13 year old idiots or 28 year old trolls) and move on to greener pastures. Their absence just invites more such people. A lot of people also leave because the speed is too much for them; it's hard to have a conversation when there are 200 people involved at once.

The SJW (which aren't just on tumblr, but that seems to be their own "haven") didn't do much to change the culture of 4chan, but give them a coalescing and shared platform of hating the SJW and their own brand of bullshit (likely because they're just as effective as the trolls without trying to be trolls.) This actually made 4chan users overall more powerful, because that shared hatred gives them common ground to rally around, such as http://i.imgur.com/E7XZaKz.png That power is always used to antagonize, but sometimes--like this--it's used to antagonize bad people (at least, as far as 4chan understands them) in the pursuit of helping others. Project Chanology didn't really "help" anyone, but it was good antagonism.

>>393285
>The SJW (which aren't just on tumblr, but that seems to be their own "haven") didn't do much to change the culture of 4chan

Then I take you haven't been on /v/ recently. /v/ is now a social justice board, busy hating a whore and ordering people to give their money to "causes" that follow their agenda by adding a few maymays and namedropping /v/ in their official merchandising.

You can forgot everything /v/ ever said in the past, this is a rebirth, they effectively rewritten their own past at this point, to "prove" that it was always like that and they are doing a holy crusade that will save the industry entierely, but only if you but the Tshirts with the maymay on it.

If anything, there's never been a better time to crub that internet addiction. It's garbage people all the way down.

>>393291
>ordering
I think that's exaggeration of it. A lot of people are overly excited about funding some dumb art team's video game project.
They seem to think it's a fun way to show up other, more annoying people, and maybe get them to be quiet for a bit, while also maybe getting an actually passable video game out of it. Pretty sure I didn't see anyone expecting me to hivemind in the threads I saw last night. Even today, I just see posts written under the presumption that I'll either care or ignore them, for the purpose of further motivating in the former case.
No one's saying you need to do things, and I know I haven't pulled out my wallet.

>>393295
>I think that's exaggeration of it
No, that stinking scam was spammed with OP telling people they must fund it, with no excuses possible, based on some tl;dr image and link collection.

4chan is going on and off. Did the Smash Bros leak kill it.

>>393338
>Poni threads were ruined by porn.

A cartoon involving an all-female cast. Oh yeah, that TOTALLY could've been prevented.

>>393338
>Korra threads are being ruined by pure H8.

People would be milder against Korra if mods kept the fags from posting 5 threads in a row, often reusing the same pics, for a discussion content that is invariably "at least there's the porn". At this point it's just invasive and only serve to send slower threads to page 10 while the guys making the threads gets the false sensation that their cartoon is popular just because it's there.

>>393340
Hmm... not exactly my point. "Pure H8" refers to the hate towards Korra herself. Too many anons are obsessed with her dying in all manners of painful and/or violent death. When you post something like that once, it's okay. Twice, and it's edgy. 5 times, and edginess intensifies. 500 posts about wanting the main character get killed? I just don't get it. What teh fück did she do to deserve death?

>>393341
Same reason you get people making 500 post about licking her feet or violating Jinora, once one anon manage to get attention with some fetishit or fanfiction, others gathers like flies and yap it again for a while hoping to be part of the "fun". At least that's how it was last time I tried to read one of those threads. But I gave up mid season 2, when it was clear ATLA S2 was a fluke and bryke will always be mediocre at best.

>>393340
not sure if they'd be milder, they'd just end up tuning the threads into what the Frozen stuff turned into mainly being fanfiction AU stuff about Introvert Elsa. Also it seemed to get worse when not as many people would hate on the show with them because Book 3 was pretty dang solid.

>>393412
Huh.

Are they posted anywhere?
