/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Let's start this thread with a good opener:
What are some of the best winners ever?

>>205695
Shadow

>>205695
>ms.
Frankie
>mr.
Spider-Man
>queen
Curly
>king
Dante

Do we include the side tourneys too?

>>205697
Side tourneys aren't real tourneys.

>>205700
Fair enough.

>>205697
the /trash/ ones aren't side tourneys.

>>205697
I don't see why not

>>205702
Well on that topic, I guess it's Tyr for the female tournament and I'm not sure that's for coom reasons and just because I liked her in Duck Dodgers.
The male tournament only has one winner so there's not exactly options.

>ANOTHER capeshit OP
Can we not for once?

>>205702
They're not main one's either. This place constantly gassing them to be the same tier as /co/ and /v/ is stupid.

>>205706
>still seething over Death winning

>>205707
I couldn't give a fuck (or fap) what the gay tourney elects.

>>205708
You are quite literally getting mad over furries.

>>205710
How is that what you glean from my post?

>>205711
>furry tournaments don't count because…they just don't okay?!

don't feed the trolls
ignore him, he's trying to start a meltdown over shit nobody seriously has issue with again

Personally I never got the point of tournaments on /aco/ and /trash/.

>>205713
Because they're small. I would've said the same thing if it wasn't a furry tourney.
If the tourney cannot average at least 300 votes per round it shouldn't count with the "big four."
>now inb4 Mr. get less than 300 this year.

Predicted vote counts this year:
>Ms. /co/: 450
>Mr. /co/: 250 or barely 300
>Queen: 750
>King: 600

If a board's tournament has gone on for 3+ years at this point, can it really be called a side tourney?

>>205718
Aren't "side tourneys" just tourneys that happen in attached relation to a bigger one? (i.e. bottom, barred, tag team and co-op too I guess). I think the better distinction for things like /an/ and such is minor and major tourneys.

>>205720
The parallel to major league and minor league in sports is quite fitting.

>>205720
Yeah, I'd say the /co/ and /v/ tourneys are the main ones, Playboy and Tag Team the minor ones, and Bottom/Barred the side tourneys

>>205717
Grim

>>205749
He would actually be a good winner.

>>205733
Pretty much this.
I can understand the case for things like the team tourneys and /an/lympics being discussed with the big four as long as no one is treating them as such (they often share hosts with the main ones, the Wiki front page acknowledges them, blahblahblah), but trying to group Barred and Bottom with these is getting too far and should be viewed as nothing more than side acts.

>>205705
Kingbro btw

>>205705
No need to say that about Capcom, anon.

>>205806
Ain't no way /an/ or /his/ is practically the same tiered status as /co/ or /v/. I still think the main marker should be voter count and activity.

>>205811
/an/ and /his/ are smaller boards, of course they're not gonna have as many voters
they only feel like a sideshow because there's no meta for /tnt/ to circlejerk over

>>205814
They feel like sideshows cause they're small. Small = minor. Minor tourneys.

>>205716
After the shitstorm that happened with the staff on April we will be lucky if we get 300 if the raid from sharty didn't fend off the regular lurkers.

>>205717
I don't see how getting less than 500 is bad. We're talking about threads who had an ip count of already 200 people posting and a lot of them most likely using alternate accounts. If anything less than 500 is the right amount to define the thread is voting. Of course not /co/ or /v/ general vote in these tourneys but you get the point.

>>205820
By the latter I obviously mean that of course not the other lurkers who are in the other threads are gonna pay attention to the tourneys and vote. Unfortunately these tourneys never get the vote of absolute everyone in the board but just a bunch of us who are still in touch with them.

why not:
>main board tournament
>off-board tournament
>side tournament
main can be for all on 4chan, off-board can be for /tnt/ and side tournaments can be from either site and are attached to a bigger tournament?

>>205822
Cause again, just putting all "main board" tourneys together now levels an event like /his/ that gets 20 voters and one thread with an even like Queen that gets 1000+ voters a 100+ threads.

>>205820
I don't know why it keeps being assumed the thread post count is so indicative to the voter count. There's nothing unrealistic to me that the active thread posters are only like 40% of total voters. You constantly have "silent powerhouses" that no one actively supports or even mentions getting far.

>>205825
You forgot /m/

>>205826
That shit was cancelled by the jannies

>>205825
that's actually a good point that I missed, main tournaments take place ON their main boards and voter count isn't really a factor

>>205827
....................Why?

>>205825
>>205828
Just split up "Main" category into "major" and "minor." I don't know why we want to completely ignore the division between tiny and giant tourneys that get way more attention and content.

>>205831
It would be too cliche if we only consider the /co/ and /v/ tourneys as the only 4 main tournaments, We should but adding some more doesn't hurt the importance of /co/ and /v/ tourneys. I know /his/, /trash/ and /an/ don't get that much attraction let alone for some being too new but they still take place in their respective boards whatsoever.

>>205830
Didn't the organizer bail?

>people just finding out /m/ tournament was cancelled

>>205832
>too cliche
What? Why would it matter?
Also not even what I'm saying. You can call a tourney "main" but also "minor" under all these categories. I don't get insisting they're all equal when there's obviously a massive difference between them.

>>205837
stop trying to min/max tournaments lmao
#alltournamentsarevalid

>>205834
I thought this was common knowledge, it was posted about pretty frequently in 2023.

>>205837
I just personally think the category shouldn't be necessary. A lot of the differences come from the amount of voters around which not a lot are aware of these others. Other than that, it's not much different.

>>205842
It's seems pretty straightforward and common sense. Dinky loosely put together events with a few dozen circlejerkers and single threads vs. massive organized events with several hundreds of anons and tons of OC and off-season hype and discussion and meta. Does using more than one axis just blow your mind?

Just call them board tournaments.

>>205846
Boardies for short.

ngl this just feels like some people reeeaaaally wanting to have their tiny pet favorite tourneys thought of on the same level as the big old founding four in the inter-meta tourney autist-verse.

>>205849
I honestly forget /an/ and /his/ tournaments even exist sometimes.

>>205842
>it's not much different other than this factor that makes them hugely different

I think the only tourneys that can really stand with /co/ and /v/ in terms of numbers and fanfare are the hypothetical /a/ and /tv/ ones, both of which seem impossible to get started and just disappear into aether whenever anything seems to get going about it.

>>205849
This desu. Whole thing sounds like an anon really wanting a meme pick like Anon's Budgerigar Birb to be discussed alongside other "le ebin winners" like Johnny Bravo or Dante but is insecure about smaller tourneys.

>>205853
It kind of misses the point that these are CHARACTER contest and trying to replicate that with general plants and animals won't have the same effect as using fictional characters.

>>205852
/trash/ got like ~80 votes a round average? /an/ was about the same and so are the side tourneys here. /his/ is at the low end of about ~25.
Mr. gets about ~400, Ms ~700, King ~800, Queen ~1000. /mlp/ is kind of hard to find the data but looks like about ~100?
If I could guess at hypothetical numbers for other proposed tourneys:
>/a/ (female): ~800
>/a/ (male): ~600
>/tv/: ~1000+ (i legit think it could be the biggest on the site)
>/m/: ~80
>/lit/: ~150
>/fit/: ~120
>/pw/: ~150
>loli/b/owl: ~100
>/mu/: ~100
>/jp/: ~120
But this is all pre-hack. One of the interesting things with this years tourneys would be a hard look at how much the hack might've actually effected traffic.

>>205849
so really we should define them also as meta defining and non-meta relevant tournaments?

/mlp tourneys are weird. They're these events that are as old as /v/'s and seem to be decently active and well run but pretty much exist in their own completely isolated context with no relevance at all here. I keep forgetting about them then someone brings them up and I think "oh yeah, those happen."

>>205857
Doesn't help that they're near impossible to talk about outside /mlp/ thanks to GR15.

>>205857
When do those even happen anyway?

>>205851
which is?

>>205852
The doomerism about /a/ and /tv/ is so stupid because literally all that needs to happen is one guy manning up and making a nominations thread. Queen of /a/ was an absolute dumpster fire, like genuinely the worst tournament ever hosted thus far, but it was genuinely good for the single day that the host didn't sperg out. People were generally happy, threads were fast and even some OC got made. It was a little rough but absolutely could've ended great with better management.
We just need one man, A HERO, to rise to the occasion... but who? Whom will dawn the armor and be our shining knight?

>>205866
The heroes of heroes.

>>205866
My knees.... They are kneeling on their own!

>>205865
Why don't YOU do it anon? You know a host kit exists? Is it laziness? lack of motivation, confidence, and/or time? Therein lies the problem. Everyone talks about starting new tourneys but no one wants to run them. It's telling that the Queen of /a/ guy was also an apparent retard newfag, probably underage too. It seems to take that kind of brazen naivety to just storm in, create and try to run a new major tourney out of the blue.

>>205869
Plus there's the one thing that's been discussed over and over again; there has to be genuine desire from the home boards and so far there hasn't been much of that. A lot of the times, it just as across as people wanting to push tourneys on other boards regardless of what the inhabitants think.

>>205855
>/tv/ -1000+
Still makes me confused why nobody's started one given /tv/ has next to no moderation, just last week I remember seeing a frogpost OP with no text and the thread was full of off-topic schizo rants and funposting, and despite all that it stayed up for like 16 hours with no deletion or autosage. And /tv/ is filled with these kind of brainless threads all the time, if the jannies allow those there's no way a tournament where people actually talk about television shows and movie would be a problem.

>>205910
Someone apparently went to contact the mods but there's been no word since.

>>205695
>Queen
If I put personal bias aside, then Midna. Otherwise, Samus.
>King
Dante
>Co-Op
Banjo & Kazooie

Dreams Never Die
I never participated in the /co/ tournaments, so I don't know if I could really give an opinion on who the best winners are, so I'll just say that I like Jenny and Bravo the most.
>>205910
I believe it was during Queen 2022 that someone tried to start a Queen /tv/ tournament out of the blue, but it got saged.

>>205911
Do we need to? Like anon said the moderation on that board seems lax enough that they wouldn’t give a shit if we ran a tourney unannounced.

>>205920
If that happens I never want to hear people say xitter is less cancerous than reddit again
Both are absolute cancer but xitter is way more invasive to 4chan in general, just look at how many retarded twitter screencaps from blatant tourists flood every single board.

>>205922
How are so many screenshot threads even allowed? A lot of the time they barely have anything to do with the board topic.

>>205920
Most seem to assume an outside flood would come from something related to /v/ tourneys. But the biggest leaks to date were /co/ related (ten reddit thousand views for that wedding OC and the facebook crossover).

>>205921
Better to be on the safe side and to ask because A. it doesn't look like a tournament is being forced on the board and B. insurance in case a janny decides to suddenly janny.

>>205924
Nope. The biggest tournament leak was Ashleynigger posting tournament thread OPs directly on twitter. A piece of tournament art for Madotsuki got something like a quarter of a million views. Xitter is still the worst of the worst.

>>205943
Riiight. Funny how that pretty much got memoryholed. I remember everyone having a meltdown and calling it the end of tourneys then everyone completely forgot about it next thread. Asheyfag even posted more OC in the threads later and no one brought it up.
Which honestly is okay since it didn't seem to have any perceptible effect on anything. Xitterfags seemed to not know what the fuck it was. The worst leak is still the facebook thing since it was a direct poll link that increased turnout 100+% and got a hated character to win and arguably ruined ms. /co/ for years.

>>205946
It's still more ammuniton for why lolifags are shit

>>205947
We know you're obsessed and want any reason to bring them up.

>>205949
You're right, I should stop. Apologies.

>>205943
Biggest you say, it was a complete nothing burger you autist.

>>205958
why would goku do that

>almost all of /v/'s most remarkable and prolific drawfags are lolifags /tnt/ hates

>>205958
Why is this crap so funny?

>>205963
You're autistic.

>implying autism isn't the fuel for all of these tourneys

COMPLETEMONSTERku....

>>205943
> posting tournament thread OPs directly on twitter
He didn't post the OP. He posted his art, which was then used for the OP.
Also if you looked at NiggerRock's king /v/ plane post everyone was completely oblivious to the tournament part and just going haha funny pilot.

>>205943
The only thing that would kill them (that is not mods ending them or the site dying) is if some YouTuber made a video directly about tournaments

>>205969
Someone should educate them.

>>205958
>that indentation in Bejita where the car ran him over
Keeeeeeeeeek

>>205953
Please continue.

>>205987
I'm afraid Goku killed them all
>>205967

>>205962
/tnt/ is faggity circlejerk that never represented source board opinions.

Gotta be honest I don't see as much motivation in myself about the tournaments. It could be related to some things but I say it's mostly because of that stupid 10 posts limit rule that 4chan established.

>>206001
Wasn't it less than ten now?

>>206001
It wasn’t that bad last year, everyone got their nominations in despite the rule

>>206014
We were setting nominations records despite the rule. Kind of bullshit tbh. Likely goes to show how samefagged it is.

>>206001
>10 posts limit rule
What??

>>205920
Well I mean he did posted a King OC once with no context whatsoever. Its more likely than you'd think.

>>206000
The tournaments themselves are faggoty circlejerks that slowly lose ties to its source boards.

>>206057
It's literally just a beauty contest powered by Google forms. Faggots like for example the cuckfag from /co/ don't even bother participating in the tournament they just want a reaction for the sake of that free (You).

>>206001
That doesn't matter much outside of nominations.

>>206060
>It's literally just a beauty contest
It's more like a favorite character contest. How would you explain the male tourneys?

>>206064
Shadow is pretty hot, seems more like a beauty contest winner to me.

>>206064
Straight male demographic.

>>206132
Nothing straight about what goes on in either male tourney. Or even some of the female tourneys if I'm being honest.

>>206134
That's just a loud minority.

>>206219
I checked every winner from both boards. The only one's to win and not be nominated the first thread are:
>Kronk (thread 2)
>Betty (thread 2)
>Reimu (thread 2)
>Recette (thread 7)
Once again Recette's a huge outlier. Every other winner seemed to get nominated pretty quickly. So your likely winner is someone nominated in the first twenty or so minutes.

>>206225
Kleinerfag always does manage to nominate one of his picks in the first five minutes...

>>206262
To be fair so do all of you
I guarantee that everyone but pure funposters who don’t care for tournaments who see this post will be refreshing the board tomorrow waiting for the first thread and nominate a pick within 2 minutes

>>206262
And they're all either literally whos or meme picks.

>>206263
>>206264
Now I'm wondering who the first character nominated in every tournament was. And I'm talking about every year.

>>206064
My dude a good bunch of people voting for Zorak just did so because they wanted to fuck him

>>206264
That doesn't narrow it down.

>>206272
Archives exist.

>>206297
Just take the L on the retarded take instead of throwing out more of them.

>>206320
>3rd is Death from Sandman
sad falloff, that one.

I think the nom system is kind of broken ATM, the (you) system filters out laggers and very very obscure characters. The number of yous scales pretty well with the number of nominations so it doesn't really alleviate anything.

>>206375
however inadvertedly it does help the threads archive faster so people can nom even more people. Although if the goal is to have fewer nominations, paradoxically it would be better to let everyone nominated with an image in and have the thread die out slower. But this would be asinine

>>206376
On the other hand there are redundant nominations quite often so perhaps there'd be more room for nominating new characters faster in each thread

>>206373
It's the duality of being a cult favorite waifu.

>>206373
She would've fallen off regardless, but it still has more to do with cartoonfags finding tournaments and drowning out comicfags past the first year because comics are a niche hobby. Even though /co/ owes its existence to comics, since it was created because people kept posting comic book pages on /b/.

Alright, here's a list of the nominee from every /co/ tournament. In 4 hours this will be outdated.

Can't even split them up now since it would create another /pw/ scenario where one board thrives more after splitting off.

GUYS WHY IS LITTLE AUDREY AND THE JETSONS ARE MISSING CAN YOU ADD THEM ALL OF THEM GOT TO 9 REPLIES


Also Hailey Flower and Jojo Violet are still missing please update it NOW


And also Little Suzy too, where is she?

Fucking god there is alot of missing characters, both krisztas are missing too. Where are they?

uhh where did the ms. /co/ thread here go?

>>206895
/tnt/ mods banned ms /co/

Good news: the whole tourney environment might get a new resurgence of hype and fun like after NSA was outed
Bad news: since this happened mid-season, this will likely take up a ton of discussion for the next few months and detract from the actual tournaments

i was gonna put this (>>207897) into 4chan's ms /co/ thread but my IP got banned souhh ye

(hopefully this pic still ends up on 4tourneys)

>>207901
What did tranjan b& you over? Just reset your roiter and delete your cookies. In the meantime, I can post it for you if you want.

>>207903
ithink someone else broke a rule an' i was on the same IP as them so i ended up banned aswell

>>205694
Which character do you think had the longest gap between appearances?

And just to remind you folks, Mr /co/lympus begins on October 10th

>>207522
TARDjita...

Another one

Who is the least underdog winner ever?

>>208155
Samus, Armstrong,Dante,Reimu

>>208155
>top seed
>huge fotm factor
>widely known and liked by the board (at the time) to the point meta and spite factors wouldn't matter anyways
>everyone knows they're going to win from the beginning
>crushes other classic competition
Spinel, Fang, and Garland.

>>208155
>>208167
Yeah, I'd agree on Garland. His win felt almost like a canon event for King of /v/. Don't mind it myself since I like the character and thought his main supporters did a good job propping him up outside just memes. It was just very obvious he was going to take that year. I feel Spinel would be a similar case if she wasn't marred by the Peru shit.

>>207934
Cassandra Cain first qualified in 2018, the first tournament, with her second qualification being this year

This beats out the three-way tie for second between Megatron, Judge Dredd, and Principal Skinner in Mr. /co/, with their qualifications being in 2018 and 2024

when will /his/ starts?

>>208339
Realistically next week on friday

>>208349
Seems like my trip code changed. Well you'll know it's me since I still have the same challonge account.

>>208360
What a delusional faggot you are. You deserve the ban. Why are you blogging in /tnt/ of all places? You should get banned here too.

It's disheartening to be sure of it seeing the jannies allow so much detestable coomerslop that doesn't even try to be SFW on the blue boards, while at the same time deleting people actually discussing the board topic for no reason. If 4chan is going to have these disgusting, despicable ass porn boards could they at least do us the liberty of keeping the garbage that's supposed to be contained on those boards in those boards?

>>208360
Numnuts...

>>208360
Yoel I think you should take that sign from God and fuck off here too retard.

>>208363
I know right? And they ban those who actually want something done about it. The mods are too busy on their Discord server to do their jobs properly yet they only ban when it's someone they personally disagree with or when it's people reporting because getting reports cuts into their personal time, why do the job they don't want to do when they can just ban everyone who wants them to do their jobs.
The mods and jannies of that site are only in it for their own benefit and i wouldn't be surprised if all the off topic goon posting is nothing but mods and jannies.
Last time i tried to appeal a ban of mine the mod who looked over my appeal faulted me for trying to appeal my ban to him when he was unavailable for a few days, yet he was the one who reached out to me and didn't tell me that while he we were discussing my appeal, and he even got defensive and mad when i told him that if he was too busy then he should not have offered to look handle my appeal.

I have no problem with coomer content. 4chan has always been porn brained and I don’t get to why it makes some people so irate. The twatter screencaps and political junk has got to go though.

>>208373
Two things.
For starters just because something was always bad doesn't make it any less bad, that just means a fix is a long time coming.
Secondly was 4chan really always such a gooner site? I admit i wasn't on 4chan in the olden days of the site but from what i have seen 4chan was more about memes and communities getting together making fun screencaps, telling stories, actually discussing what they love, making memes, etc, but now the NSFW posting has gotten out of hand, seriously, when was the last time 4chan has made a good wholesome meme or had a screencap that was just good hearted SFW fun?
It's not just NSFW posting but also the toxic behavior with far more people going into threads about subjects they hate to let their hatred be known instead of going into threads about stuff they actually like.
And it's only gotten worse, i haven't participated in this year's Ms. /co/, didn't even enter a single thread for it, but while looking at the catalog i noticed that the OP images being used have become far more NSFW than they were last year and the years before. I assume this may be because of how many people left 4chan due to the Sharty hack, including OC makers, and the people who stuck around being the toxic users who always start fights and the gooners so the tournament managers pretty much had so little options on OC to choose for their OP. Like i said this is just an assumption so could anyone who was in those threads tell me if my assumption is correct? How many people voted and ere in the threads compared to the previous years? What was the overall experience and posting like compared to previous years?
Now that i think about the Sharty hack causing OC makers to leave could also explain why /coc/ is more dead than it was before the Sharty hack.

>>208362
ngl /tnt/ feels like an asylum with anons casually posting stuff that’s better off private the more they get comfortable posting here.
Frankly I want to talk about tourney shit in the tourney thread.

>>208374
>was 4chan really always such a gooner site?
Yes. It sounds like your problem isn’t with nsfw anyways but ass and titties in swimsuits kind of pics. If you’re that neurotically angry about some lewd pictures in the catalog then probably you’re better off leaving.

>>208378
What you described is NSFW, it's just not outright pornography. There's a difference but both are NSFW.

>>208379
Not really but it doesn’t matter, you’re a gigafag.

>>208374
I mean, people came up with rule 34 for a reason. Not to mention old 4chan boasts such wholesome memes as "your resistance is only making my penis harder" or "a cat is fine too".

But back then, it was mostly a cool edgy counter-culture thing. Porn naturally existed in huge quantities, but it didn't cross over with memes that much. People posting "a cat is fine" too most likely didn't jerk off to bestiality, but people posting "damn brat needs correction" nowadays most likely do jerk off to lolis. Porn on the internet has become a normie commodity, the half of twitter that isn't inane arguing is soulless trend-chasing porn artists. It grew from a niche subculture into something a ton of people online are constantly consuming, and turns out even something as low-brow as porn can get more low-brow when normies get into it. The internet is somehow both more horny and more puritannical than before simultaneously, though on 4chan the horny part is obviously more visible.

That said, a lot of "NSFW" pics you saw were probably from the swimsuit round, which is an early tournament tradition from years ago, giving artists incentive to draw cheesecake of their favorite girls is one of its purposes.

>Cumnuts samefagging about shit he doesn’t know

>>208384
Now we wait for him to ask for Silveranon's email for "non-tourney related reasons".

>>208380
He's probably one of the SF fags.

Why the fuck would you be so invested in 4chan as a devout Christian. It’s always been a godless den of degeneracy.

>>208390
Ask Pencil Anon; he seems fine with it while also being devout.

>>208376
This isn't your hugbox. We can talk about whatever we like.

>>208378
>>208380
So true furry bro.

>>208390
Iit's become hip and cool to pretend to be Christian on 4chan as a contrarian thing, so maybe if you're autistic you could get fooled by that.

>>208395
>We can talk about whatever we like.
Does whining about being banned from 4chan because you don't like lewd images contribute to tourney discussion whatsoever? No? Then I don't give a shit about your off-topic blog post.

>>208381
The rules of the internet were made to be a joke never to be taken seriously yet sadly it has causes people to obey, if not outright worship, one of the "rules"to justify their own wicked behavior.
And the two examples you posted really are just exceptions, not the rules, and those two memes died for a reason, that reason being sex and pornography just isn't funny, meanwhile we have lots of good, not NSFW, memes from the past such as Rageface, Trollface, Rick Roll and even Pepe started out wholesome and honestly has become more wholesome in recent times so good on them for making Pepe wholesome again.Even the tournaments were more wholesome than what they have become.

I completely agree with you on your second paragraph.

If what i have seen was swimsuit round then perhaps the swimsuit round should be replaced with something else, not to mention that the image mages in the OPs i have seen were more fetish suits than swimsuits.
I guess this means that somehow something already made to be gooner posting like the swimsuit round has also become for more low-brow than it was before, like what you mentioned with the subculture stuff.
>>208387
Who?
>>208390
Same reason why Jesus and his disciples hanged around the sinners and outcasts.
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers.
Although it is good to take breaks from such company as the apostle Paul warns about.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Bad company corrupts good character.
Good reason for everyone to take a break from 4chan honestly.

>>208398
That's not me, turns out someone else disagrees and uses this board to talk about stuff unrelated to tourneys.

>>208399
Swimsuit round is swimsuit round. It's an old tradition that everyone wanted back, because it's a waifu contest and it's natural to appreciate their appearance as part of it. NSA only ignored it during her years because of laziness/prudishness. It's not what I was referring as the soulless low-brow stuff. That would be something like the Elf comic slop that Hexfag latched onto, stuff that only exists to inspire porn.

You guys realize you are arguing with Numnuts, right?

>>208381
Porn and sex were not an ironic niche subculture, retard. People were absolutely always gooners.
>posting "damn brat needs correction" nowadays most likely do jerk off to lolis.
This here's a great instance of exposing yourself. Lolifag degeneracy has always been a staple of 4chan. It was founded by weeb wankers and there was board in the early days devoted to it. If anything there's way more prudishness about it now since it's a huge no-no for the normiebase.

>>208402
I thought it was Numnuts arguing with himself,

>>208403
Akshually it became a no no after moot disavowed it in the early 2010s. Or was it 2009?

>>208405
moot saying something years later after he became a public adult figure and his site went mainstream doesn't mean much.

Let's be honest. The problem is with straight sexy wimminz. If it was furry cock and balls numnuts would probably join in by posting more of his asshole.

>>208403
You're missing the forest for the trees. The point of that example is that people jerked off to whatever, but they usually didn't make memes about their fap material (unless it was something funny in its own right) because that kind of culture didn't form yet. "Damn brat" becoming a meme on 4chan is in the same vein as "step on me" becoming a meme on twitter, people online getting more comfortable with making their fetishes and the porn they consume part of their identity and self-expression.

>>208408
Seems your issue is more with certain cultural rot then than the actual sex content

>look at catalog
>only about 15 out of 150 threads are coom OP's
My virgin eyes can't handle the cooch bro's, 4chan must die...

>>208406
Reading the original post, he seemed more annoyed than anything. Wonder what ate him.
>>208407
That's all of tnt.

>>208402
I just find it funny one guy is all it took to derail tourney talk.
This board will talk about anything besides the actual tournaments.

>>208415
>Wonder what ate him.
Probably his crazy hobby site getting so mainstream and him needing to dial back, maybe for legit legal fears. And just getting older, maybe starting to become a family man. Changes a lot.

I can't believe this conversation is still going. I can't believe this is not samefaging. I can't believe this isn't a false flag. I can't believe someone would get so offended about literal drawings they come to blog to /tnt/ of all places, like it'd do anything. Go back to Recettera.

>>208426
>I can't believe this is not samefaging.
Anon I…

>>208426
/co/ is all about getting offended over drawings. This is why bad comics get the most traction.

>>208395
>This isn’t your hugbox so we can talk about blatantly off topic shit
Why are retards like this all over 4chan now?

>>208450
It's the new retard meta.
Patch when, devs? Ragebaiting was at least funny some times when it was really obvious.

>>208426
>offended
No, i'm just doing God's duty for me. I must never give up. 4chan got God's warning once, and the way God works, each warning becomes more and more of a slap across the face until people either see his truth or get their kingdoms destroyed, the kingdom in this case being 4chan.

>>208401
>waifu
Ah yes, "waifus", a modern form of idolatry, same with "husbondos".
Those who actually delve into such a thing are hurting themselves and their potential, especially in terms of family.
Just look at how much "waifu" culture has gotten a tight grip over Japan for the past few decade then look at the nation's birth rate.
In fact look at the worldwide birth rate after Japan's "waifu" culture became worldwide. It's a curse.
But with that being said i will agree that the Hex stuff is far worse. May God have mercy on the poor soul behind the Hex posting.

>>208405
I wonder how moot feels about what he has created.

>>208609
Spy Kids 2 Gets Existential

>/co/ thread and tournament are filled with schizos
>/v/ thread has gone defcon 5 in arguments
These are hard days for /tnt/.

>>209072
>/v/ thread has gone defcon 5 in arguments
What's going on?

>>209087
Seething about /co/ for the past few hours.

>>209169
Seriously? Why?

>>209087
>>209169
That and the same arguments about King that this board has been having all year but with even more retardation.

>>209170
Their pet artist got exposed on /co/ and they took great offense to that, even citing racism.

>>209176
There was so much retardation that the thread managed to reach 400 posts in THREE days.

>>209182
I wonder if Black Hand gets any revenure from that sweet sweet PPH.

>>209176
What's the argument?
>>209181
Really? People from /v/ are making accusations of racism? This is a rabbit hole i am now even more interested in. Where can i learn more?

The hack was the best thing to happen to the site in years, and this year's Ms. is proof. Initially, I believed the hack would drive people away, but Ms. just reached the 1K vote mark on R1, a guarantee in /v/alllhalla but a rarity here. Rigging? Don't think the worst. PUBLICITY. The hack actually spread across the internet, and reignited interest in the site. And when newcomers saw the concept of voting on their favorite characters in a fighting tournament in the guise of a poll, they flocked to it. People did leave, I'm sure. But people CAME too. Dontsaythatswhatshesaid

>>209219
I think it might've killed off more interest in tournaments than you think.

>>209219
That's why I think Raven ended up barely surviving against Ragatha. A lot of newcomers without exposure to TourneyMeta were just backing their favorite girls without being as responsive to prior year bias or campaigning, and it offset the people who didn't want another FARTS winner

Ok so going forward we need to explain rules and ideas really really fucking clearly because 60% of the thread is people shocked we aren't doing Round Robin, most of them having apparently never heard that word or having completely missed the prior discussion on it.

>>209181
>Their pet artist got exposed on /co/ and they took great offense to that
You left out the part where he wanted to send him an IP logger through his email and look through data breaches.

so are we switching to round robin

>>209234
>are we gonna change format from the voted option in the middle of the tourney cause of samefag
No, shutup fag.

>>209233
WHAT

>>209188
I wish.

>>209233
>>209236
That was a /v/ fag avatar fagging with a Simpsons character and long after the initial exposure. /co/ does not care for this person no matter how much people push him, yet there's this narrative that this board is out for Peruvian blood.

>>209280
I told you it would be a bad idea!

>>209280
What have the shit storms been other than what's gone on here?

>>209282
Every single meta complaint built up from ms. burst upon, especially concerning Fang. That and off site drama has completely spilled over.

This basically turned into an average /co/ stealth thread now.

>>209284
>>209287
It feels like a /cov/ situation. Like, the tourney itself is fine, and the results will probably be fine, but the threads got overrun with any excuse meta drama possible.

>Told everyone it would be a horrible idea to do All Stars as it would just be a drama shitfest and we should just let things go on
Glad to see I'm vindicated.

>>209290
Nah, I still wanna see how the tourney itself plays out.

>>209290
What's happening? I'm ignoring it and you got me interested but not enough to actually go into the threads myself.

>>209219
From what i heard the hack drove people away.
Did it just drive away the bad people and brought in good people?

>>209292
The normal meta arguments you would expect.
It's really not that bad though, outside of the Hexfag drama here getting discussed there.

I legitimately struggle to understand how people get so legitimately angry about 4chan tournaments that they cry at every opportunity for literal years (3-6 depending on who they hate). Fang haters just got their way and they’re still going on and on about how non waifus need to be banned and shit and this tournament is proof.

They’re funpost tournaments and I doubt the majority of the total vote count is even legitimate. What is the need to get so upset about it?

I think Betty getting so many cartoon showcases on the streams and her thread activity nudged her just over Monarch who otherwise has historically been considered better

>>209305
There are two things you have to consider:
>much lower turnout this tourney
>the voting demographics change every year
The people voting in this are a subset of this year’s voters. Of course results are going to be different than what you might expect.

>>209305
Monarch had no pity boost too.
