been interested in the guy and his character design because of the fnf mod (don't jump me). downloaded it for the first time ever and i think the ost is great. since he's such an old character(?) and from skimming the catalog i don't see him often, so i was wondering if the people on here rlly care about him at all?

no, all oc is dead. in fact, we have a lot of anti-oc sentiment now.

He's just a rage comic and no better than a feels guy variant. Feels guy is only called wojak by newfags anyway so obviously you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
It's the most generic design you can have barely above a stick figure. You can argue his popularity led directly to the feels guy spam years later.

Too often OC turns into retarded avatarfagging, ritual posting, and other unsavory shit. Crap like Pepe and Wojak because they're more universal and even if you dislike them the intent is more straightforward in an attempt to convey an emotion. Le angry Vman and le daughterfu Vivian don't do that and at most are characters used in comics. If anything it's surprising there isn't more OC since people talk to avatarfags regularly now too

Sadly this imageboard has become a weird mix of rulesfagging (no racism, no off-topic, no OC/board culture) AND offsite twitter engagement (tertiary vidya related) into a total shit goulash.

answer is no though, since it feels like that sort of fun culture with board-tans stopped being a thing for a while. the last time i recall it being relevant was during the fusion board april fools event. it does suck, since there's something infinitely appealing about /v/-tan's design

I think what really sucks is around that all the archiving efforts for this seem to fall through. I'm browsing the bibliotheca anonoma to make sure I'm not missing any of these comics and half the links are dead.
>>747618698
He hasn't been seen since all these comics were made which would be around 2010 or so, maybe earlier. He definitely was a big hit on /v/ and everyone reposted his comics so much it made other anons create their own OC.
It always starts with one.

Yeah it's pretty dead just by looking at how unbumped this thread is.
You have all these tiny pockets; the /v/ musical, King/Queen of /v/, The Final Rumble threads, the /v/GAs, Save The Princess threads, but except for very rare times or when it's they're time of the month are the only times when /v/ ever shows signs of life. Besides that you're forced to comb through endless seas of shitposts, outsiders, and like you said, genuine ban-evading schizos. Unless you have a very aggressive and similarly minded admin staff, these things are going to fuck your boards over time as we can see. OC is at an absolute standstill, the regurgitation of the same memes because anyone creative moved on to just lurking or hustling somewhere else. This place garnering such an infamous pedigree that shitters can copy paste or even just fabricate their own threads here to make engagement dollars off of. And we can't forget to mention the various outsider groups whomst've 4chan has pissed off over the years running gayops.

It's a very collective shit sandwich that only a true visionary could fix.

You feel it too, don't you?

the whole "/v/ hates video games" was originally a meme, because /v/, despite always being pretty bad at vidya, was still passionate about it, and willing to argue about it down to favorites, lore, methods, etc. The whole thing where someone asks you to post your favorite games and then just calls them shit would have been seen as cowardly.
not because you called them shit, but because you didn't say why, and you didn't then respond with YOUR favorite games.
/v/ didn't hate video games, but it does now.
>>
>>747625792
Blame the tumblrfication of vidya, not /v/.
>>
>>747625792
>despite always being pretty bad at vidya,
I think that depended on the vidya. Anons were great at metagaming/theorycrafting so WRPG and JRPGs were usually what was talked about a lot here. My biggest memory of 4chan is checking out /v/ for the first time and seeing that 'I broke Morrowind' post stickied.

They also craved unforgiving vidya because during the late 00s and early 10s, casualization was really hitting hard. So games like Stalker and Demon's Souls (later Dark Souls) became popular. You even had tripfags like Holden making entire mods for Stalker (L.U.R.K.), who always was well received from what I recall.

Vidya as a culture, and this place as a community, had just become filled with fuckheads and faggots.

the truth was that there are Anons here that are really really good at games, it's just that there's also always been a lot of people that suck at it.
I remember hosting certain /v/ events way back and yall were some fun fucks to play with, but also really bad 9 times out of ten.

you're right, the whole "casual" thing was definitely there, but a lot of people were bad still. the thing is that despite being bad, a lot of people had the virtue to be able to struggle through and beat games even if they were shit.
there are still some people with that resolve for vidya but there's a lot more crying now.

>Save The Princess threads
It's a shame they've become unusable over time due to the enshittification of the site, actually they're not even a thing anymore and have become a forgotten culture of sorts probably in due from the moderation team cracking down on them which slowly killed them off
>nobody wants to draw
>participating has a very high likelihood of catching a stray ban
>lack of interest because most are phone posters nowadays
>ultimately devolved into fetishfag posting
>was most active during covid; the chan was most active during covid at the expense of teenagewojakfags completely derailing and killing threads wherever they saw fit
drawfags and the sort are regulated towards select threads where they're permitted to do away with posting with what they want, specific being the key word because since everything has become easier to moderate (non ban evaders, site slowing down due to bleeding user count) it's meant easier moderation practices to further their view of what this board should be like in their vision, and it's fucking garbage.

something has changed in recent history where shitposting has lost its charm, every shitposter who participates in certain threads already knows each other, the outrage bait, twitter and article threads feel fake as hell; there's something wrong with the chan and I don't what exactly it truly is, culturally dying but ever animated.
>>

>something has changed in recent history where shitposting has lost its charm,
Shitposting and ragebait became monetizable.These aren't your run of the mill lads having a laugh, these are people whose livelihood depends on them getting 4chan screencaps, samefagging or not, to engagement-bait elsewhere. All those jokes about the internet being srs business came true in the worst way imaginable. The internet isn't even an escape from the real world anymore.
>>
>>747628591
I tend to forget that you can make pennies off of self screenshotting your own post or one other's, then again I feel that sort of stuff is designate to the lowest of the low form threads where the process may as well feel automated or broken in how repetitively the same they all feel.
No wonder there's an abundance of twitternigger-like posters and threads nowadays given one can make enough off of it, let alone the other topical threads of relevance that have incredibly low forms of value like the gacha threads or similar.

4chan doesn't have a culture anymore, /v/ itself hasn't had a culture for like a decade.
