Re: Imageboards...yeah, imageboards
So, each board has on it different "teams" for these contents as well, right? What exactly are the topics? I have tried probing 4chan and the like in the past with little success because I have always felt that it is not exactly intuitive in how it is laid out, but that is probably just me.

Re: Imageboards...yeah, imageboards
Hmm....the only board I will wholeheartedly warn you about is /D/. It has it's own set of rules.
Other than that, try to stay on the 'safer' side of things.

Are you referring to the whole /a/non, /c/itizen, /d/enizen, /b/tard, etc stuff?YoakeNoHikari wrote:Each board is a team, and all the players are AI.

Hey, I like Watashi ga Motenai....YoakeNoHikari wrote:Different boards on 4chan pertaining to different topics.
This will give you an idea of the rivalries and what many boards are about, if you look around. /b/ is a cancer. They or /a/, (or the /v/irgins,) posted several pictures of penises on this mangaka's twitter, in reaction to her surge in popularity among /a/nons.
That's fucked up, seriously....
I knew there was good reason I don't go to 4chan....why is that no hacking counter-offensive from Japan for this?
but still they're not 2ch or BBSPink...

Ugh I am pretty sure everyone on B-T is AI too. Don't tell me that you haven't realized that.YoakeNoHikari wrote:Each board is a team, and all the players are AI.
BOT:
To start with 2ch is not an image board. But since much of our discussion centres on it I guess it is still relevant.
2ch is basically as diverse as you can get in terms of breadth of topics and quality of posters. Although it is general consensus in the Japanese society that it is no more than "toilet graffiti (便所の落書き)" in terms of reference value, IMO it is futile to try condensing it into one single phrase. After all, it is perfectly normal to see some highly intellectual discussions in one 2ch thread and perpetual trolling in another.
Imagine if you consolidate all internet forums in your native language into one single site, force a universal (and retarded) 1990s page style upon them, but still allow them to run independently from each other. This would be the 2ch in your language.
The key is to find the right thread for you. I had quite many pleasant chats in the novel threads and find them very informative. They are certainly no worse than most light novel discussion threads in English. On the other hand many of the android girl threads are full of annoying trolls, but I still frequent there for manga and illustrations updates.
The xenophobic atmosphere is certainly hard to swallow. But after reading so much of their bashings on Chinese and Koreans somehow I gained an immunity towards that and just stopped to care. Also, the braindead ultranationalists pretty much concentrate at certain topics. In general as long as you avoid all political discussions and vipper threads you will be doing fine.
As for image boards, I am disappointed that no one brought up gurochan, which is one of my favourites.

The xenophobes certainly steer clear of eroge boards

You know, I don't think I could ever justify to myself decking my room out like that. Even with infinite riches.
Though, if it was given to me...

I do not what is what: the fact that he has all of those pictures that will virtually ensure that he has no children or that I know NONE of those characters.

Well, with the amount of cash this guy must have (or amount of debt) I think having kids isn't that high on his priority list...lol

Re: Imageboards...yeah, imageboards
Loneliness might be the number one cause of depression. So are Otaku depressed? Do they occupy the hole in their hearts with anime?
Note on that image: Looks cool... However, not something I will care to do in my room. I wouldn't make fun of him, or have any insults directly or indirectly hitting this subject, but all I have to say is. It's their choice/money/whatever that allowed them to do this. I see that he's proud of it, for he has placed himself in the image. He also wears a shirt, which looks like Shana to me, demonstrates that he isn't afraid to show the public about such concerns. I kinda think that's nice. I don't have enough courage for such things.
