/baw/ - General Discussion

>>395902
I think the people who mod /co/ and /v/ are the same.

Does /gif/ even have mods?

Once again, the best threads on /v/ are the ones that have next to nothing to do with video games.

This hivemind stuff has to stop.

Apparently chicken fingers are a new epic meme

http://blog.4chan.org/post/108414215167/new-requirement-for-4chan-volunteers-going-forward

Good move, Moot.

>All those GG turds complaining in the comments.

>As for any future leaks that may inevitably occur—frankly, I look forward to them. I’ve been amused by past leaks because they usually show just how mundane and even-keeled 4chan’s moderation team is.
So true. (I don't mean that in a shitty complaining way, but in a 'I know that feeling' way)

Also, why do people still give a shit about gamer gate and all that shit? I don't /v/, but I can't see how it is important.

>>395972
What changed?

>>395972
The older I get the more I'm starting to lean towards the side that wants stricter rules enforced on the net. The Digital Wild West thing we have was nice and all, but it's just not sustainable. Yet, the shit thing about ending it is that companies are going to be the ones making and enforcing most of the rules, which just ends up fucking everyone but the 1% again.

>>395973
>Also, why do people still give a shit about gamer gate and all that shit?

Because any time someone asks a question like that, they start sealioning the fuck out of everyone.

>>395974

I'm not sure, but I find it ironic that Moot posted this after someone supposedly leaked a list of /vp/'s janitors...

http://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/120086138
This shit is hilarious.

>>395980
This thread just keeps reminding me a Danny Phantom reboot would be great under anyone but Hartman.

posting is down. Been a while.

>>395990
More than 4 hours now. And now that no one posts on the text boards anymore this is getting unbearable. What the fuck is moot doing. He can't seriously expect me to go out.

>>395992
>no one posts on the text boards anymore
moot got rid of the text boards over a year ago

It's official: 8chan is not better than 4chan in any way whatsoever. In fact, it's worse.

∞/co/ hates comics and cartoons.

>>396017
They probably just hate you, Twist. Let them have their fun.

moot is retiring, this is not a drill

https://www.4chan.org/news

>>396026
I'd do the same if I was in his position. If anything I'm suprised he kept going for as long as he did.

Not like much is going to change, Moot's already been slowly gravitating away from 4Chan towards more conventional pastures.

>>396025
The cuckold will probably appoint one of his SJW mods to be admin, death knell of the site.

>>396029
>The cuckold will probably appoint one of his SJW mods to be admin, death knell of the site.

I can't tell if you're joking or a dipshit from /pol/

most people don't even give a shit about Moot departure. He was never even seen once n most boards. If he wanted to make it an event, he fucked up.

>>396034
It's not as much of an event as it is letting us know what's up.

And you'd have to exclusively frequent an obscure board to never see him.

Is posting on 4chan extra slow for anyone else after the big news?

http://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/68887107
Redwood gets the get and moot makes his first appearance on /co/ in years in a Steven Universe thread

>>396051
I don't know what to make of any of this.

>>396053
It's simple really. moot's last words to /co/ was a shitty /b/ meme because moot doesn't give a shit about our board.

What will we do without our one true overlord?

>>396059
Migrate to 8chan or stay quiet and don't do anything.

>>396057
That whole thread made me want to cry. Holy shit man.

>>396060
>Migrate to 8chan

Ahahahahaha.

>>396060
Or go the other direction, to 2chan.

>>396065
Thanks anon, you said it for me.

>>396059
Deal with it, because as every other replacement chan has shown, nothing will ever gain as much traction as the motherchan did. Only thing that even came close was 7chan. 8chan still seems iffy to me.

>>396104

the sheer scale of the viralling done by 8channers has pretty much ensured they will always be seen as the chan for butthurt people.

also their boards suck. It's basically all the people you wanted gone before.

If only there wan an another 4chan. Perhaps one that's slower, but more focused on continuous discussions. An new 4chan. An alternative. A Plus!

Where are we gonna find a 4chan such as that?

>>396107
In a place where everyone didn't fuck off to their respective lives after a few years.

>>396106
>the chan for butthurt people.
Just look at all this resentment http://8ch.net/co/res/64065.html there are nor words for such butthurt.

>>396107
Plus4chan sucks. SJWs everywhere.

IS posting down?

>>396110
Impossible. No SJW knows that this board exists.

Is anyone getting a bug where you post something, but it says you timed out, but when you go back to the thread from the catalog the post you made is there?

>>396113
any post takes minutes for me, yeah. Site crash incomming imo.

>>396113
Yep, same problem here. Goddamnit Moot.

>>396110
>SJWs everywhere.

lolin' @ u

By the way, one day later and we already need moot back. His return to the throne will make the balance right in the universe again. WHY CAN'T I FUCKING POST.

>>396124

LMAO this guy
LMAO everything about this post

Literally shilling 8chan here. You can say 8chan here, by the way, dingus.

>>396125
the sjw virus caused the decline of +4chan because i banned everyone, killed anonex and ate her heart to gain her powers.

>>396127
y u so blood cray bea?

>>396127
powers include: not doing things, sleeping

>>396109

you know, i just took a peek at their /co/. Every thread with a topic i'd even care about has almost invariably less than 10 replies and the rest are almost all image, mostly porn dumps with annoyingly big thumbnails or animated gifs and multiple of them per post, and if not, meta bitching. The catalog is strainful to the eyes too.

honestly i was pretty off put when this place started doing this centered board thing but it still beats that mess by a massive margin. I can't even browse that place fast enough to scroll over the stuff i don't care about.

>>396124
You are a fucking idiot.

And now catalogs and board directories are broken. Should be in bed by now anyway, though, and I won't be surprised if it's fixed by the time I wake up.

>>396136
Dangit, I got a screenshot of the catalog page, which always needed javascript, but I meant to show that is was broken for the primary form of page listing too. Now it's fixed, though.

posting is shitting itself again it seems.

QUICK!

>by the time he gets there I feel like it's a waste of his time and I should have deleted it so he could skip over
On the other hand, I was entirely right that there'd be no way for me to actually stop and think of a good question if I actually wanted in answered on the stream.

Is he still going?

>>396155
Yes.

I kinda wish moot radio was a thing. Listening to him talk about whatever has been nice. I hope he isn't a stranger and comes back to do these periodically.

>>396161
It really was like saying goodbye to an old friend.

>>396161
I wish I could have done it, but timezones are a bitch. Gave up aroundd 1 AM after 4 hours or something. At this point he seemed to have answered everything anyway. I will just miss the final good bye.

8chan picked out a bunch of the juicy bits

https://8ch.net/meta/res/52622.html

>>396224
If most of them were fake, that would take an incredible level of autism to fake that many chat logs with the degree of detail they have. It's 45mb of text files that are each 1000 lines long at the least, with he longest going to 2250056.

>>396219

>>396226
>that would take an incredible level of autism to fake that many chat logs with the degree of detail they have.

This means nothing given we're talking about 4 or 8chan, two sites full of users capable of such a feat.

Ok, I know that HLH is coming on toonami AND that Zone's flash is conveniently around the corner as well, but I find the sudden explosion of KLK threads on /a/ and /v/ annoying and suspicious.

>>396228
So... what? Viral marketing?
People tolerate shitty anime as long as there's a constant barrage of tits and ass in it?

>>396229

>>396232
>to kill someone is an order of magnitude more criminal that just hurting them, like cutting them, even.
>so it's an order of magnitude above killing, at least, to kill a CULTURE or LANGUAGE
I'm not seeing the part where they establish cultures and languages as having greater rights than people. They're larger, more influential, and often longer lived, but if anything that makes protecting them a lesser priority, not a greater one.

>>396233
Ditto. From what I've been reading 4chan mods and janitors be cray cray, they're holding some really illogical opinions.

>>396224
Not a single one is fake dude.

You're thinking of the pastebin discussion on IRC that was posted two months ago, and even that one wasn't actually fake it just never got confirmed as true by anyone reputable.

http://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/69055020/mehcad-brooks-cast-as-jimmy-olsen-in-cbs#bottom

I shouldn't be surprised, but all this anger over a supporting character who hasn't done much in DECADES is just... I don't know.

>>396236
I don't fucking get it anymore.

>>396236
I object. Not to Mehcad Brooks casting, that's probably fine (or at least not any worse than the rest of MoS' casting) but Jimmy Olsen's done some ood stuff. /co/ is just using it as an excuse to be racist as shit as usual.

>>396236
what I don't guet is why are capeshit movies viraling so hard they are starting to stain this very thread now.

Looks like Modern Disney Princesses finally made their way to /co/.

http://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/69095353/modern-disney-princesses#p69095531

I'm not really mad, just amazed over how some people can still fall for obvious bait just to get a chance to bitch about tumblr.

This is Modern /co/.

>>396251
Took them long enough. I guess they got bored with posting Diaz

>>396251
There was already threads on /co/ about this.

And I made the comment that last time I was on /co/ they would totally go for something like that. This whole idea of blind contrarianism is the cancer killing 4chan.

>>396251
/co/ always eat up all the internet facebook fads, nothing new. Also a bord notorious for spamming horrible fetish "/co/ Creation" threads by the dozen is really not the place to laugh at other people's vision of their medium.

>>396257
You say that as if that is a /co/ only problem and not a site wide problem and I include the horrible fetish OC threads with that assessment.

http://boards.4chan.org/wsg/thread/541802

webms with sound on /wsg/ and /gif/

I have to filter over half the threads on /tg/, 55-65 Hidden constantly, just to see the normal posts underneath the Quests, Civs, and -Makers. Is it worth going anymore?

>>396261
probably not. I have the same problem with /co/ after any cape movie/tvshows has any sort of tweets. dozens of threads about the same uninteresting, not comic nor cartoon event

>>396261
I tried to get into /tg/ stuff but friends not included.
Forget about /tg/ and go play with your friends.

>>396254
Hell, didn't /co/ have a big High School Disney Princesses fanfiction project
They are absolutely the last people to give anybody shit

>>396268
That's some silly logic. I doubt anyone complaining about actually was around when that project was done also by your logic, /co/ should not complain about anything ever since we have made racially swapped characters, children of two characters from different universes, trans characters, OC characters that are practically color swaps, fetish based characters and others.

Just because /co/ did something like it in the past doesn't mean we can't complain about something similar. The problem stem from people trying to make it some big deal because of tumblr.

>>396269
>The problem stem from people trying to make it some big deal because of tumblr.
This. The problem's all the people just ready at the gun to spew shit.
I'm sure the same people that worked on a lot of 'progressive' /co/ projects aren't even on /co/ anymore.

>>396270
>I'm sure the same people that worked on a lot of 'progressive' /co/ projects aren't even on /co/ anymore.
Can't imagine why.

>>396268
>>396269
The problem is people considering /co/ as a single minded person. /co/ projects are typically "300 posts, 15 unique posters" tier, it's far from being spread or popular. They just benefit from the board slowness to bump infinitely.

>>396277
That's now - the old /co/ we're talking about is around 2007 to late 2009.

>>396278
well duh, of course it's now. Why talk about old stuff that doesn't match the modern posters considering we are talking about current events. People who post on 4chan now don't have to carry any sort of legacy based on what people posted 8 years ago.

>Monty Oum memorial sticky at /co/
It's like I'm watching the best and the worst of /co/ at the same time. Mostly the worst.

8chan's /co/ s trash

>Nobody posts on the thread
>Some other Anon posts Princess Ugg
>Thread becomes a debate on the feminist merits of the comic

>>396284
I'm glad I hid that sticky. the rbwy threads were never especially attractive.

>>396286
8chan's /co/ is like Ultimate Marvel. It could do something different but they just take everything 4chan /co/ is and put a 8 on it.

The only real difference is that on 4chan, that thread would probably hit 500 posts and then get recreated a few hours later.

I wish I could go back to times where I didn't know terms like "male gaze" and "cultural appropiation". Because I didn't learn about them from the handful of people who actually use them unironically. I was bombarded by them from the thousands of idiots who are obsessed with these handful of people.

>>396289

they desperately want people to move to the new /co/ since they're the whinners from before realizing they're useless on their own, and insist it exists sepparatedly from the counter feminist warfare and /pol/ shit from the rest of the site.

>>396291
Eh, if you now know how to use those terms in their proper, academic ways, it's not bad, is it?

>>396291
Eh, from personal experience I can say it's definitely way more than a handful of people using the phrase "cultural appropriation" unironically, even if most of them are overapplying it. I've actually got into debates with an astounding number of people who do use it to complain about frivolous things like white people wearing kimonos or Native American jewelry, and sometimes I manage to get my point through but a lot of it ends in "shut up you white POS you don't know anything" even though, hilariously, I'm not even white. It's gotten to the point that actual left-leaning news websites have written multiple articles criticizing the bunkum spewed about how awful it is that white people bellydance or wear bindis. It's even gotten to the point that black women are being attacked for appropriating bindis because they wore similar looking African jewelry.

At the same time, regardless of how many people are doing it most of them are just angry teens going through a phase and wanting an excuse to be abusive to people while feeling self-superior. It's not a good platform to judge the actual academic merit of "cultural appropriation" or a reason to dismiss the idea wholesale, and the same goes for all the other valid sociological concepts like "racism = prejudice + power" which became warped into tools for petty social revenge after leaving the ivory tower.

>>396289
Specifically Jeph Loeb's Ultimates run.

>>396312
their logic tho
>white people can't wear kimonos or our culturally-based jewellery! that's fucking disgusting
>whats wrong about me wearing white clothing, using their technology, eating their traditional foods and speaking their language? are you trying to be rascist!?!
Maybe we should finally tell them tumblr was created by a cis white male.

>>396323
wait what that does not hold up at all

>>396323
Usually cultural appropriation is about things that have significant cultural value, not just food or technology. So a person eating sushi wouldn't be considered, but if they were to use a headdress as a prop, it's disrespectful to the actual real deal. That's disregarding that most people wear white clothing, use white technology, and eat traditional foods and speak English because of either assimilation or market dominance: it's very hard to call an American eating a burger 'appropriating' even if they're not Caucasian.

People will talk about how it's a matter of who's oppressing who, but really cultural appropriation is just about a certain level of respect between different nations. If it's sacred and unique to here, it shouldn't be a costume prop and a punchline there.

>>396328
Both food and technology can be cultural, especially food which along with things like art, language and religion is one of the pillars of culture. By tumblr logic I should lose my shit at every non-European that drinks European alcohol, eats European food, speaks European languages or reads European authors, listens to European music, or wears clothing traditional in Europe.

>That's disregarding that most people wear white clothing, use white technology, and eat traditional foods and speak English
White kids are being forced to listen to rap by media, therefore they aren't culturally appropriating when they grow up and become popular rap musicians.
White people are being exposed to foreign foods through popular market giants like taco bell, and being exposed to headgear by economic forces (such as fashion or sports) as well, therefore neither are cultural appropriation.
See how dumb the logic is?

In any case, none of this should distract from the fact that 'cultural appropriation' is bullshit on a basic level. Any multicultural country thrives on the mixing of cultures, ABSORBING the best of international cultures and REJECTING the worst, to create something new and better than anything before.
Take away the ability to ABSORB and all we will be left is REJECTION of foreign cultures, which will turn our society xenophobic as fuck.

People who unironically using the phrase 'cultural appropriation' fundamentally don't understand multiculturalism.

Oh, also, non-whites in America use white culture because they have been assimilated, that's true, but multiculturalism tries to assimilate whites to non-white cultures as well.

Anyone arguing that whites shouldn't use parts of other cultures is arguing for white supremacy, a world where non-whites are assimilated to white culture, and only whites have an unmodified culture.

>>396330
>By tumblr logic I should lose my shit at every non-European that drinks European alcohol, eats European food, speaks European languages or reads European authors, listens to European music, or wears clothing traditional in Europe.
By tumblr logic who the fuck said that tumblr gets to define these concepts
Mixing cultures is great, cultural appropriation is just a term for when a culture is degraded through its absorption into another. Food and technology are cultural but they're not uniquely sacred, and nobody's even saying that the uniquely sacred things can't be assimilated but they should have it done with the proper respect. Multiculturalism should mix, not conquer or turn a way of life into a punchline. Eating Taco Bell isn't cultural appropriation (it's just eating shitty food), but a Taco Bell built to look like the Ramakrishna Temple to celebrate a new Ramakrispy Taco is a bit shitty.
It's like your only experience with social issues is arguing with idiots online. It's not a black and white issue, multiculturalism can still be celebrated while keeping the dangers of cultural appropriation in mind.

>>396330
>By tumblr logic I should lose my shit at every non-European that drinks European alcohol, eats European food, speaks European languages or reads European authors, listens to European music, or wears clothing traditional in Europe.

Oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg.

Why is it that every time I see someone complaining about "tumblr logic" it not only directly contradicts the posts I see on Tumblr about this stuff, but also starts making up new things to be angry about? Maybe at this point Tumblr has just become a boogeyman for cranky people to yell about when they're done reading the Daily Mail every morning.

>>396334

No, he doesn't.

Can you explain it in a way that doesn't make it sound completely retarded then?

Goddamnit did I start this shitfight? Fuck me.

>>396348
"Caricaturizing how real life people actually live and treating it like a theme park oddity is a Shitty Thing To Do." That's it. It's not about eating food other people eat or wearing clothes other people wear, it's about, effectively, blackface and minstrel shows. Eating sushi isn't cultural appropriation. Calling yourself Jim-san, dressing like a cartoon ninja and ending all your english sentences in -desu is cultural appropriation.

>>396350
So basically cosplay is a shitty thing to do? Finally someone agrees with me on this!

you are in fucking tears, goddamn. Are you even the legal age to browse that site?

>>396350
>>396361
Absolute nonsense.

You're talking about doing something in good taste or bad taste, which is a matter of personal TASTE and varies from person to person. And even if someone did something in bad taste, the onus and blame is not entirely on them because we can't say at a glance whether someone is doing something with malice by simply looking at them.

For example, what constitutes "caricaturizing"?
Are cornrows on a white girl caricaturizing anything? What if her hair is naturally curly and she's doing cornrows to control it?
Is a white person listening to or singing rap songs caricaturizing anything? Does it matter if they're a diehard fan?
Is a Kimono worn by a white dude who call himself Jim-san a caricature, if he's actually doing his best to respect and learn about Japanese culture, and is just failing hard because he suffers from autism?
Is a cheap $0,50 plastic Jesus figurine a caricature if a nun would still seriously pray in front of it?

You see a girl wearing a Native American headdress at a football game.
Is that person culturally appropriating something, or is she trying to get closer to a culture, respect a culture and learn from a culture in the only fucking way she knows how?
It's borderline insane to expect everyone to learn about cultures from a book, 99% of people out there learn through experience.

And even if there existed a case of actual "caricaturizing" of a culture such as stereotypical stand up comedy, it still wouldn't automatically be a shitty thing to do because lighthearted making fun of other cultures is part of freedom of expression, and is part of the process by which we accept good ideas or reject bad ones.

>>396365
>Pretends not to get the point of what's being said so he can go on his political rant that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Okay, have fun with that.

>>396366
>Ignores refutation of his entire argument because afraid that any glance would cause entire preconceived house of cards to collapse.

Okay, stay in your bubble. Which is extremely vulnerable to the most routine examination.

>>396367
You didn't address the argument. You used it as a starting off point for the argument you *wish* you were having.

>>396364
Oh, so you're projecting! It all makes sense now.

>>396368
What are you talking about, I directly addressed it. I questioned your use of caricature to attack anyone not perfectly copying another culture, and your baseless assumption that everything that isn't exactly carried out according to tradition must be out of malice.
Go back over it because you obviously didn't read the comment.

Maybe my reply should have been
>DOES NOT READ refutation of his entire argument because afraid that any glance would cause entire preconceived house of cards to collapse.

>>396365
>seriously championing the "IT'S IRONIC!!!" defense

entry level /b/tard pls go

I been a regular /v/ poster for a few months now, and... why does that board has so much bait threads?

>>396393
The more trollable a community is, the more it's going to get trolled. There are not many communities on the internet more trollable than 4chan in general, and /v/ in particular is particularly susceptible. Probably more than any of the other boards except /b/ and /pol/.

>>396365
What if none of the things listed there are actually considered equivalent to black minstrel shows?

>>396396
/v/ is way more concious than you think. The chaces is that your epic wins are actually you being played like a fiddle.

>>396404
I'm not saying I do it. I'm saying they do it to themselves.

O boy, a movie is announced, sur is worth a /co/ sticky...
seriously, is 4chan accepting sponsoring now?

>>396406
Calm your tits. They do that to (hopefully) offset all the movie announcement threads because you know how people make tons of threads about any semi-important announcement.

And really this have been done on 4chan before so why bitch about it in the first place? Not everything mods do is some kind of agenda.

>>396407
They have 2 stickies promoting movie threads on /co/ as the norm, made because people dared to complain movies are neither comics nor cartoons and they don't agree. They are definitely pushing their agenda using their mod power to do so.

>>396408
If there wasn't a sticky, there would be 8-10 threads about Spider-man going to the MCU and you would probably be complaining about those threads then. There is no agenda but what you imagined.

So, I've been away from 4chan for close to four years now, and away from plus4chan for a little less than one--took a break from this place starting about April of 2014. Haven't really been on any discussion imageboards/forums since.
On 4chan, I used to primarily post on /co/, and decided to pay a visit.

The catalog function they've got is pretty neat.

There are a couple of very minor things I find slightly irritating that I'm not entirely sure how I feel about, like attractive girls being described as "qt3.14s" and "lol" effectively being replaced with "kek."

The biggest issue that seems to be a thing now that gets on my nerves is probably how often people seem to whine and complain about SJWs. I mean, holy crap. Maybe I just chose bad times to visit, but there was not a single moment that someone wasn't telling someone else to "get the fuck back to tumblr SJW" or something of that nature. I've read some of the comments these people respond this way to, I find that a decent amount of them aren't even really overbearing in terms of political correctness and sometimes are even just neutral observations.

I empathize with people who get irritated with others who insist on being politically correct to the point of being completely insufferable, but am I alone in feeling that it's gotten to the point that these people complaining about overly sensitive people have now become overly sensitive as well?

I noticed a few comments about SJWs above. Is feuding with SJWs a thing on this site now too? What happened while I was gone?

>>396416
Nerd culture in general is going through a protracted Extinction Burst regarding antisocial behavior, and the feuding with SJW's thing is the primary outlet at the moment. It's going to be a thing in most communities that are made up primarily of nerds until they figure out that throwing tantrums isn't going to stop the world from changing.

>>396416
It's not that the "SJWs" are being overly politically correct, it's that they are politically correct at all. Nerds tend to be made up of anarchistic teenagers who don't believe in or even understand censorship or professionalism. They think that if you get even mildly offended by something that could be seen as racist/sexist, you are a whiny baby.

>>396416
>Maybe I just chose bad times to visit

No, it is literally like this on some boards on 4chan all the time. /v/ for example will not shut up about them ever, even when no one said anything about them.

>Is feuding with SJWs a thing on this site now too?

No. Occasionally a retard will find his way to +4 and throw a hissy fit because we don't act like neo-nazis over here. Or that guy who comes in and shills for 8chan for God knows what reason.

Anytime someone uses the term "SJW" non-ironically these days, there's a good chance I just dump the post in the trash bin. All it means anymore is "You're not as bigoted as I am." instead of the old definition fitting internet slacktivists and whatnot.

>>396418
>They think that if you get even mildly offended by something that could be seen as racist/sexist, you are a whiny baby.

Which is true. An adult have no reason to blog about being offended, being offended is puerile at best. Especially when it's about irelevant shit, and when your answer to deal with it is ordering the world to make it illegal.

>>396423
In contrast, blogging about how people who insult your favorite videogames are the cancer killing Western society has nothing to do with being "offended(tm)" and is the height of maturity!

>>396423
I love it when someone tries to take the high ground (in this case, against people blogging) when you're spending your life posting on a Mongolian Puppet Theater spinoff site.

>>396436
This is such a piffling complaint. Do you genuinely lack the ability to show restraint and not have to sexualize every aspect of your life?

Incidentally, that *is* porn. I know 4chan has developed this idea that porn has to involve fucking or something, but porn only has to have been made with the idea of tittilating the viewer taking more precedent than anything else. That drawing was made with the primary goal of giving people boners: that makes it porn regardless of the content.

>>396436
Well the thing is... sometimes, believe it or not, SOMETIMES people do NOT want to be thinking or talking about porn. I know, it sounds ridiculous; why would anyone ever spend even one waking second NOT masturbating?? No one does that!... right?

But it's true. Sometimes people want to talk about something that is NOT porn, and that is why SFW board exist. Not to viewable at work, but to be free of porn, which derails and distracts.

Also, your image IS porn.

>>396436
NSFW rules exist to stop boards from becoming porn shitfests, not because people are browsing 4chan at work. I still don't understand why people don't get this.

And if you don't think porn can ruin a board, /gif/ is the perfect reason WHY every board doesn't need to allow that shit. You know how that board is like 90% porn now? Wasn't always like that.

Also, FYI, cheesecake and beefcake, while not explicitly porn, would land you in hot water in most workplaces, making it NSFW.

>>396437
>piffling complaint
As are most others in this thread. This is what it's for, ain't it?
>genuinely lack the ablah blah sexualize everything in your life
I guess as much as you lack the ability to not make grandly assumptive statements.

Your latter statements are laughable. Not only are you yourself using the developed idea of "porn" you accuse me of, but if it were true, then every fast food advertisement and laundry detergent magazine spot would have you agree that you're a legal adult.

>>396438
Here's the people who have no control. If they can't carry on a discourse in the presence of some nipples.
My image is about is only implicitly more porny than a Calvin Klein ad on a bus station.

>>396439
>implying /gif/ is ruined.
What the people want to post is what they want to see, in that case. FYI2, being on an internet image board at work would land you in hot water in most workplaces too. I'm puzzled as to why it's thought that if you're only breaking a rule 100% instead of 120% you're doing better.

>>396441
>resignation via "ha ha i win no matter what you do" reaction.gif shitpost

No, namefag, you are the son.

>>396440
>What the people want to post is what they want to see

So every board should be allowed to degenerate into a /b/-style meme-filled wasteland?

>>396443
Sometimes I think the majority of 4chan thinks they should be completely unaccountable for any of their actions and should never have to follow any sort of rules, laws, etiquette, or social norms. And take it as a direct assault on their liberties when people ask them to act like human beings.

>>396443
>What the people want to post is what they want to see
Yeah that logic worked so well for /v/ a few years ago, when it wasn't uncommon to see only one video game thread on the front page.

>>396443
Slippery slope there man. Watch your footing or you could fall into the hyperbole hole like >>396444

>>396445
You've overlooked the identifying "...that case." in that statement. Hopefully not purposefully. /gif/ goers wanted porn by and large, most were posting porn, most were coming for the porn. The nonfappers were not stopped from posting their #REKTgore and cute animals animated contrary to what you may think. If they were choked out it's because they weren't what most people cared to see/post there, which is porn!

Another example is /tg/ and the quests and civilizations and shit. Many don't like it being the plaguing constant of the board, but more do or else it wouldn't be there as prominently as it is. Understand?

>>396446
I understand that what you're saying is that you don't like being expected to follow rules that are common sense anywhere on the internet or in real life.

>>396446
>Another example is /tg/ and the quests and civilizations and shit. Many don't like it being the plaguing constant of the board, but more do or else it wouldn't be there as prominently as it is. Understand?
If only 5% want it but they post ten times as often, they'll make 50 out of 145 posts. This isn't an unreasonable discrepancy to expect given the ease with which one may dump porn or write simple commands for a quest rather than compose something in-depth.
However, that's ignoring that 4chan is not a democracy. Go somewhere else if you want different rules.

>>396447
I don't like being expected to do anything so I never disappoint.

>>396449
>go somewhere not 4chan he tells me
>on a place that's not 4chan
you silly billy

>>396459
Alright, I just get annoyed when people use that reasoning when dodging bans to keep posting porn of /co/.

>>396436
>>396440
>Here's the people who have no control. If they can't carry on a discourse in the presence of some nipples.
>being on an internet image board at work would land you in hot water in most workplaces too.
If you can carry on discourse, you can do work, and thus it wouldn't be banned from offices.

>>396461
>If you can carry on discourse, you can do work, and thus it wouldn't be banned from offices.

Please help me understand this line of thinking. I'm legit confused. Because I'm pretty sure I can hold discourse with my dick flopping about and a large buttplug in my ass. That doesn't mean I'd be allowed to do it at work.

>>396477
Yeah, because you would be displaying the exact kind of imagery which is banned from blue boards on 4chan, which is my point.

>>396480
Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if you were arguing for or against posting NSFW on blue boards.

I got off work not too long ago, if that excuses anything.

>/pco/
>jpg or png
>Not allowed to start a thread with that filetype
lol wut

>>396516
It should just be .jpg

Unless you're like my iPod which uploads pngs as jpgs so both don't work.

>>396517
That is still profoundly stupid. Tried again with a .png at around 11:40 am eastern on /pco/:

>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@boards.plus4chan.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

>Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

>>396519
JPGs are not currently allowed for starting a thread as an anti-CP-bot measure. PNGs should work fine, though; I see there is a thread with that name, was that the PNG you were trying to upload? If not, can you send the PNG to support@plus4chan.org so I can look at it?

There are two known reasons for odd errors when uploading:
- File size is larger than Apache file size limit (7MB or so), which takes affect before the board software can check the file size
- Total Pixels > x, and i forget what x is right now. But it's a fairly large number so it's only a concern for incredibly large (dimensional) images

I expected the thread to get deleted, so it wasn't too surprising

>>396531
>A bunch of boards are wiped
/s4s/, /r9k/, /pol/, /mlp/, /mu/, /sci/, /x/, /int/ and /sp/ seem to be the only ones affected.

I would be okay with most of these boards being removed entirely

>>396532
/v/ is empty, but you can reach it through catalogs.

Shit, /co/ down now. Would be funny if we have to start over with fresh boards for once.

>>396541
Americans should stop appropriating Italian culture by calling themselves Americans.

Like

Made me reply.

>>396545
Agree. "Native" Americans are the worst offenders.

>>396550
First Nations is also just way cooler-sounding as a whole.

>>396550
>FIRST nations
>erasing the lived experiences of all tribes, nations, and peoples that came before them
It's as offensive as white people assuming they're the First Civilization.

>>396565
ASSEMBLY of First Nations, First Nations for short, by definition of what it is actually called you have no argument.

>>396565
But those are also grouped together as part of the categorization "first". It's "the first however many until Europe stomped over everything", not "the one first ever".

>>396550
I thought that was a Canada-only term (at least for now). Not sure what Mexico and other Latin American countries use for theirs. Just the tribe name?

>>396581
Mexico has several internationally recognized races of indigenous people, so if they're not referred to as such (Mayan, Otomi, Purepecha, etc) they're usually just referred to as "Indígenas." Aka, straight-up Indigenous.

Not to be confused with the slur "Indio."
There's quite a bit of white supremacy goin on here. Maybe not politically, but socially, yeah.

>>396582
>There's quite a bit of white supremacy goin on here. Maybe not politically, but socially, yeah.

That's a little surprising to me. Don't get me wrong, I know there are a lot of caucasion hispanic people, but I would've thought the larger-than-the-US number of non-caucasian hispanics would mean less of a chance for white supremacy to take the fore.

>>396594
Wow, that's bullshit. I'm sorry to hear it's like that.

>>396594
>People say there's no racism in Mexico because "we're all hispanic"
A lot of people in America forget (or never knew) that those of Irish descent were treated almost as bad as those of African descent in the early 20th century. Inter-anglo racism is pretty much unheard of these days in America (the worst that regularly happens involves hillbillies.) But, it's not unprecedented for people seen as a "race" by someone of another race to actually have racism for further distinctions of said "race", so the stuff you describe doesn't surprise me at all.

You could write entire books about the inter-nation relations of Asian countries, too.

>>396599
>hillbillies.
We prefer the term 'hill-men'. If you don't mind.

>>396602
I thought you prefered the term sons of soil

>>396603
Maybe if you're one of those south by south eastern hick trash.

/v/ shitstorm about the Order 1886 and the fanboys defense force is pretty hillarious, but I fear that those kids are actually serious when they claim stuff like "reviewers didn't play the real game" and such nonsense.

>>396620
It's a standard David Cage fair, though this is the first time I can recall one without him.

>>396622
except at least cage games are honest about their content. And have replay value.

>>396627
WHAT? Dude Cage games have ANTI replay value, the more you play them the more you realize it all falls apart with a second thought.

And they are WAAAAAAAY more deceptive about their contents.

I'm not saying either are good or that one is worse than the other, but those are WILDLY inaccurate statements about Cage games.

His most iconic game is still Heavy rain, and it still offered branching story lines. the few action sequences or even investigation sequences also offered more than the Order in any possible way.

>>396629
Fair enough.

Bans on 8chan are board specific, maybe try that.

>>396566
I think the point is that the first nations would have been the south American ancestors, because there were actually four waves of migration into the American continents and the people who call themselves "First Nations" were the second last (old world people were the last).

He's basically being anal about facts, but they ARE facts.

>>396633
There is a wakfu thread on 8co but it is not popular last I checked

well

at least you're here I'm not completely alone today

Are autosage deactivated? I seem many 500+ pot threads still on the first page

>>396672
Might have been moved (or stickyed)

I know some boards have a 1000 bump limit

>>396677
I'm checking and it's the catalogue that bugs. Doesn't reflect the thread's place in the normal pages.All 500+ threads seems to get stuck on top while the others are stuck in place after creation. It's weird.

For some reason catches don't appear on my phone. With my computer no longer working, this is quite annoying.

>>396681
hmm, so now I tried with a laptop at home and the laptop works fine, meaning my desktop has issues with 4chan for no reason now. wtf.

Maybe it isn't sorting catalog by bump order. (dropdown menu at the top of catalog list)

It's about the people who post, it always was. It's the other posters, that can make or break an imageboard. Userbase is everything, owners are nothing.

I'm disgusted. Simply disgusted. What was the point of /tv/?

>>396830
I'm honestly starting to think that banning threads about live action TV/movies would vastly improve /co/'s quality.

>>396836
Did you even apply for a janitorial position? You should have since you feel so strongly about it.

Man, I've been gone from /co/ for a long ass time.

I like Gravity Falls, so I checked out the thread they were having for it on 4chan.

Apparently, Alex Hirsch's girlfriend was there or something and perhaps as a result a bunch of posters went into explicit detail about how they would like to rape him.

She, and some other posters, were not fans of this turn of events, and they were accused of being pussy newfags.

Now I'm no stranger to how fucked up 4chan can be. The first board I frequented was /b/, and that was about 9 years ago. In 2007-08, I discovered /co/ though, and that became my home for a while. When I left /co/ around 2012, it was no longer the harmonious, creative, love-filled nerd-utopia I had first fallen in love with, but it wasn't this either.

It wasn't limited to this thread. When I was there, the overall content of the board more or less seems the same, but the mood, interactions, and hatred towards minorities--not just in regards to recasting white characters as non-whites, but genuinely complaining about black guys and cuckolding, and Asian men being gross micro-penises that no one wants to look at--makes me wonder if it interbred with /b/ at some point.

I mean, complaining about whiny sjws is one thing, but when I was there these just came out of nowhere without justification. What the fuck. Why is there so much /b/ everywhere.

>>396852
Because most of these newfags came straight from Reddit to /v/, /tv/ or some other board. They care for nothing other than "dank memes" and shitposting as hard as possible.

>>396852
>a bunch of posters went into explicit detail about how they would like to rape him
Jesus christ what. First time I heard about people on 4Chan wanting to commit male rape. That's pretty fucked up.

>>396859
>Jesus christ what. First time I heard about people on 4Chan wanting to commit male rape. That's pretty fucked up.
Is it though? They already treat every woman who admits to being a woman on 4chan that way. If anything they're finally putting their money where their mouth is about treating everyone equally horribly.

>>396835
No, I've been posting here on and off for years. I don't make spam, I report it. I genuinely needed help with something, but since no one here responded, I had to ask someone who basically knows nothing about 4chan, which was kind of a pain.

>>396867
Why would anyone respond to some vague as fuck post from some random dude?

>>396868
Because if people didn't do that then 4chan would have almost no activity.

Looks like that new Jem and the Holograms comic will be impossible to talk about on /co/:

http://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/70057550/its-official#p70059389

There were already people butthurt about the character designs, but with artist Sophie (formerly Ross) Campbell coming out as a transwoman, any attempted discussion will be doomed to fail.

>>396852
Hi Alex, defending your GF from afar it seems?

>>396874
I'm confused. Are you implying that it is a controversial opinion to think that 4chan and /co/ have become shit when you suggest this guy must be Alex for saying so? Because I mean it was my impression that was the majority opinion on plus4chan. Isn't /co/ and 4chan being awful the whole reason we have this board in the first place?

>>396878
Yeah right, 4chan is so good all the time with namefags, remember the vagina cheese incident? And now the fanboys are in damage control to save their waifu honour telling how 4chan is sooooo mean and ruined now.

>>396880
Dude, 4chan has been shit for like 5 years. Are you a newfag or something?

I think you meant 12 years, newfag.
