No. I'm being serious with you fags right now. The /v/ that birthed KS was a drastically different place, with different posters all together, from a different era of 4chan's cultural history and influence.

There may be some period-accurate memes and jokes in KS, but overall the narrative(s) were about some difficult, yet handled with a bizarre, almost un-4chan-like gentleness that modern posters are incapable of. We so fucking cooked.

Yeah, anons back then felt far more amicable than today despite all the shitposting. They actually wanted to talk to each other. People on here now are so misanthropic and generally unpleasant.

A lot of posts get even more annoying when you realize whose typing them. Anons going on about how based gatekeeping is or crying about immigration without ever realizing they're literally living proof of their own arguments. Undesirables from other sites coming here mocking the established culture while supplanting it and making everything worse until the site is more and more like the shithole they came from.

Speaking as a generic 32 year old who lived thru the hurr good days, this board is full of miserable people. It's not trolling, it's genuinely unhappy people who bicker over nonsense. You can almost feel the seethe over the computer

Also KS is probably the one good thing to come out of 4chan and I've been here for fucking 20 years. Japan time, ttyl being released, Billy Harrington dying etc were the only high points.

The /v/ that birthed something like Katawa Shoujo had this kernel of genuine humanity. It wasn't awash with daily threads espousing talking points from retards. There were real conversations here. People here had sympathy for others, born from shared failure. It wasn't a place some loser would boast about his trad life or shitty marriage or shitty trade job. It was the place of the spilled spaghetti meme, back when the people here were expressing a real sense of humanity without realizing it. Wojak used to be representative of that same feeling of social isolation, it was born from an sympathetic response for being an outcast. People weren't begging to be part of some cool kids club IRL talking about how based it was to go to church and be a normie.

That semblance of real humanity is gone. Most of these types abandoned the board, or worse, perpetuated this change. The end result is a miserable place where everyone is constantly putting on a show like a nigger wearing expensive Jordans. This place has become infested with niggers. They have another title. It's called being a normie, but the only thing more vicious and uncompromising than a normie, is a failed normie, who must never ever surrender his gay nigger shoe tier LARP.
>>
>>724336923
All furshit is predicated on a bunch of weirdos wanting to fuck anthropomorphic characters or animals. You could have made a game just as genuine featuring people, as evidenced by KS. The characters of that game being furries adds nothing to the story other than appealing to animal feature fetishism.

It can't be as good as KS if it's just animefaggot fetish shit. KS was good because people expected cripple fetishism and instead got genuine human stories with zero disability fetishization and awkward teenager sex scenes.

I also thought KS was mostly an /a/ project.
What I think is that until you implement extremely strict filtering methods or otherwise control the population of the board with the goal of turning this place into more of a dung heap in mind, good stuff will emerge occasionally. It's just that one has to sift through more earth to find nuggets of gold.

However, it is also possible that there is a certain threshold amount of people, that, when reached, acts as a sort of barrier that possibly prevents necessary interactions for the formation of a group capable of making something good. Like noise covering the important signals. I think it would be possible to combat this speculated phenomenon through persistent efforts.

Those people are still out there. They're among us right now. You're wearing rose colored glasses on this.
-reddit spacing-
The truth is, the KS devs themselves would tell you they got away from 4chan's chaos and instability pretty quickly because you need structure to work on a game. They probably had the same feeling as you do right now, something like "damn, 4chan is such a shithole nowadays, remember the classics like cockmongler and mudkipz? This rageface shit sucks (:"
-reddit spacing-
Offsite, when you're working with channers on projects, it's often the case that this site is a guilty pleasure people have a love-hate relationship with, just like you do. The posters posting right now beside us more than likely turn off their retardation the minute they step into a Discord channel (in KS days it was IRC), because retardation doesn't make projects progress. Retards get iced out by even semi-semi-semi-professionals, which the KS devs were. I can promise you, there are semi-semi-semi-professionals reading our posts right now who, if grouped together and given enough time, could at least hold their weight.
-reddit spacing-
Ultimately, KS wasn't a "4chan project", even though 4chan posters claimed the KS devs as their own. The KS devs themselves would tell you they met on 4chan but quickly went offsite because it's more conducive to production. 4chan isn't a workshop, it's a bowling alley. You do work elsewhere, you have fun here. Instead of thinking the site is a drastically different place from back then (it's really not) think whether the posters are drastically different. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. Elders always complain about the degeneration of their children, since time immemorial. Right now, there may be a project by channers gathering interest or mid-production that will blow the minds of everyone here. You've got to keep your heart open to possibility.

Why is it that whenever "4chan" gets together it always results in something like this? The girls are deformed, it is furries, most of the girls wouldn't look out of place on Tumblr, etc. You also gaze upon stuff like drawing request threads and whatever the hell is going on with those sing-alongs, and inside it is all more weird shit that'd get you called a faggot in most threads. I guess my main question is, why is "4chan culture" so gay and awkward? You see all of these people talking about the superior Nihon culture and bitching about how ugly they think some kids art is. But they don't actually follow their own rules.

I suppose it is the problem with a site that is popular with introverts. Most people here are super into really different things which bring them here. It causes regular instances of people making each other cringe which is why a lot of threads devolve into fights. Most of the more serious things that make money and whatever just don't explicitly mention 4chan. Which creates a bias in what is seen as 4chan creations.

I'm curious what's considered an oldfag at this point. I've been here since early 2009 IIRC, so was a flaming newfag although at least not underage b& at the time. Am I still a newfag to you??

There's levels to it. I spent the longest time not really considering myself an oldfag, and I got here in ~2006. These days I'd say there's a strong argument that anyone from 2010 or earlier is an old fag.

Though there's an argument to be made that anyone who's been here since pre-gamergate is an oldfag these days as since we've seen massive shifts in the site's userbase since then that have rendered it nigh-unrecognizable.

Are there any VN's with writing at least half as good as real literature? I tried this ages ago and it was decent iirc.

Yeah I have noticed that /b/ is way less funny than it used to be and is mostly just porn now. I used to raff and ruse all the time on /b/ back in the day.

I think /a/ is the only board that hasn't changed much throughout the last 10 years. Most of the fast boards have changed.

2008-er here. It's an absolute scale, not an sliding scale, like generational names. We will always be newfags, even though we probably wouldn't be considered "new" anymore.

Remember, "boomer" is short for "baby boomer," and they certainly aren't babies anymore.

Kawata Shojo was actually a collaborate effort since forums used to be a thing back then
