Why are users of this board so consistently cruel and snarky? Honestly the average /pol/ user is less toxic than the average /a/ user.
>>82377589i thought about this recently, a lot of board culture was a vintage gatekeeping mechanism to keep normies out, but now the population is depleted and there are only a handful of autists left who think it's a genuinely way to interact with people. the gatekeeping mechanisms selected for genuinely unbearable people and we're stuck with them
>>82377589They're based. One of the only boards to successfully maintain their old culture.
>>82377589Anime = troons and fags
>>82377589I watch anime but I have zero desire to discuss it on the internet
/a/ is just reddit, all the anime general threads repost shit from the related subredditsthey're also way too attached to their oldfag culcha, to the point where they get genuinely angry and upset if you post a pepe or wojak (even though those memes are also well over a decade old), it's so pathetic
>>82377680>One of the only boards to successfully maintain their old culture.its lame though because none of them are even oldfags, its just performative and sad watching a bunch of redditors larping as le oldfag 4channers
>>82377781Basedjacks= untreated Schizophrenia
>>82378800It's better than the alternative.
>>82377589You would've hated /mu/ in 2014.
>>82377589I'm thankful that /a/ has had such a strong culture it's remained virtually unchanged to how it was 15 years ago
>>82378861It just makes you think that we should have gatekept r9k
>>82377589Cause theyre a bunch of fucking weeb turbovirgins that circle jerk over cartoon girls
Bro it's the best board on the website. And I don't even watch anime>>82378869/a/'s jannies carry the board. /r9k/'s actually try to kill it
