Welcome to 4chan in 2010 + 16.

>>729375325
Funny, that's how 95% of the threads here are to me

>>729375325
I actually wrote 90% originally and then changed it

>>729375214
There's also zero actual discussion anymore. Pretty much every thread is bait and the entire thread just devolves into trying to outbait the other person and trying to score the most (You)s

>>729375325
You just described every thread about politics on /v/. Exaggerations and nothing else.

>>729375214
>jannies delete most of the remainder

I think it's funny that threads are deleted at all. I'll have one thread open, and it's deleted after 300 posts. This one, for example: >>729368917
It's like why did it take two and a half hours?
What does that even do? If you delete a thread, those people will still be on the website, and they'll move to other threads. So yeah, I don't understand thread deletion.
It's like people are playing cards and you just flip the table. Those people will wait til you're gone and then play cards.

>>729376426
I think they keep controversial threads up for a while to drive site engagement. I've seen actual discussion threads and loli/CP get nuked within minutes but those always stay up for some reason.

>>729375214

>I think they keep controversial threads up for a while to drive site engagement.

If engagement was the only thing that mattered, they wouldn't delete anything that isn't straight up illegal, like CP as you said. That's what old 4chan was like. Nu 4chan is literally a prison where you get trolled by the guards every now and then.

>>729375214
4chan built this culture up itself, nobody to blame except for 4tards, the whole bit about being an obnoxious edgelord contrarian hoping to get a oneliner and btfo someone is now what everyone tries to do, and then you get the (You) addicts or retarded political schizos come from their containment boards to spam racebaits and gender wars. It is what it is, if your shit is anonymous and you reward retardation and don't have trigger happy jannies this is the end result. Muh freedomcuck.

Hidey hole? Your strategy is to run? When you run, you lose the place the left. I will not find a hidey hole, and instead I'm going to wait for one of two outcomes.
1. Everyone I hate is gone.
2. I am dead.
That's my plan. If you don't like it, then go find a hole.

I doubt there's any real strategy, I assume each janny has something different which triggers them, so some will pass up on deleting a thread, another will log on and throw a tantrum and start deleting things.

I think they falsely believe they're an agent of good. This analogy I wrote at the bottom of my post: >>729376426

Unless you can prove him wrong, then he's right about the 75%. Maybe he posted here for a long time, and that's how he got the 75%. If you want to be le pedantic two digit IQ faggot, then make a survey people can vote on to find out the demographics of /v/.

I mean he's coming to a flawed premise by asserting that it's a racialized problem, but there are straight up ethnic differences that make people completely unable to have conversations with online.
Like how most of the nation of India genuinely does not grasp the concept that there are other people on the internet.
Or for an example of a more contemporary cyber ethnic demograph, most of the core web views sockpuppeting and astroturfing as legitimate practices on an online discussion.

The last sticky with Vince Zampella death, killed something in me.

The VGA one was just as worse for other reasons.
/v/ is a haven of degenerates and pedophiles probably hiding in their pseudo generals as of now.

I hate /v/ man, just add global ids so i can permanently filter the biggest shitposters and retards.

>>729378442
>I mean he's coming to a flawed premise by asserting that it's a racialized problem

Why is that a flawed premise? Let's say hypothetically I'm a White person, and I want to speak to other White people. What's the flaw there? Except maybe that there are none.

Feminists and trannies take over and turn the industry into their personal propaganda arm. Turns out that generates a lot of /pol/ discussion over the years. Who knew? Sounds like a lot of people here are just upset their side is getting called out. But if you're actually some apolitical discussion purist, then be the change you want to see. Learn to ignore the shit you don't want to engage with and drive the discussion you want. If absolutely nobody will talk with you then perhaps nobody gives a shit about your topic.

>>729378761
You are racebaiting by making the claim it's just browns being retarded when you know damn well there's a bunch of white/yellow/black incels, porn addicts, trannies, and ragebaiters here posting too. I would rather talk to normal nonwhite guys about vidya than talk to politics and ragebait obsessed deranged weirdo freaks that are often times white. If you go to /lgbt/ like 75%+ of posters there are white and most of them are troons into deranged fetishes. Is that le epic white pride? Racism is retarded.

Reddit is bad with how it works and people try to post shitty jokes to get top comment. No discussion to have there either, it's not a proper forum.

You'd have more luck on FB, twitter even fucking discord than reddit.

GameFaqs is the perfect forum format but it's dead. Maybe 10k posters across 500 boards and they had to merge game boards being multiplat to increase activity.

The only actual threads that get consistently deleted are the psudeo general threads like for XIV, Deltrarune, YuGiOh, Coffin, and all the gacha shit. But that's not even the problem. The problem is shit like

>the 24/7 claude threads which belongs on /vp/,

>drawthreads (yet another general) that are just bots reposting the same requests

Hey, rapeape. Get your fucking mods and jannies on the same page. Either /v/ can have generals or it can't. You have more exceptions than rules at this point. Make up your fucking mind. Get rid of the recurring threads or don't.

Someone report me so maybe a mod will read this

By and large i enjoyed all the new releases I chose to play in 2025 - I'm not sad enough to give a shit how big the tits are on a digital character or if one line of dialogue in several hundred thousand makes a ham-fisted trans allegory. Normal people might just roll their eyes and carry on and enjoy everything else, /v/ screams and gets hysterical like it's the end of society.

No I'm not going to add a fucking addon that let me know what hidden tags or whatever are linked to a given image. If you are a babyfucker or too scared to use other boards then maybe just fuck off?

He was actually right, though. If he assumed everyone he was speaking to was White, he would have been right 80% of the time. This survey is from 15 years ago.

Here's the thing /v/ absolutely had problems before it, but if we're pointing to any major event that actually fucked up board quality outside of the industry going to complete shit, it was a WAY bigger problem when m00t nuked most of the board during gamergate.

It was the case that most people were white straight males online.

What do you mean nuked most of the board?

>>729379795
Tbf idk why anyone is surprised that modern 4chan is diverse? You do realize it's accessible to anyone in the world that's an english speaker and the biggest english speaking countries in the world are India, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc. Also it's mostly used by younger adults and younger adults in western europe and north america are about 50% white and 50% non-white, almost 100% every second person here is non-white, so larping that it's mostly white is hilarious.

>>729379795
looks like a highly legitimate, peer-reviewed source of information there.....

>>729379986
>every second person here is non-white, so larping that it's mostly white is hilarious.

Nobody is saying that, and they're saying that it used to be White. Someone says "75% brown" and then some brown person disagrees, which is where the issue arises.

>>729379986
You type like a jeet

>>729380083
Why?

>>729379986
It became diverse because 4chan keeps making headlines in normalfag tv news channels and every idiot and their dog has access to the net in their hand.

It was bound to happen but would've been slower without mainstream optics.

>>729379945
I'd have to ask for you to clarify
>What do you mean nuked most of the board?
Because even if you're assuming everyone making fun of game journalists at the time (a storied /v/ tradition unless someone wants to pretend Sonic is a bad franchise) was a politically motivated tourist it's well known that they banned a shitload of people at the time, and that had led to the whole split between 8ch and 4ch and why from time to time people fuck up and draw anon red despite that website being dead as hell

>>729380113
How?* i'm ESL and asking "why" makes no sense.

>>729380237
>it's well known that they banned a shitload of people at the time

It's not known to me, which is why I was asking. I was a Gamergate refugee, and I left /v/ around that time. I would have no idea what happened. Why do you think I have a survey for another board? The one I posted is from /tv/.

>>729378017

It is insane how many people think they can honestly gatekeep 4chan or hell treat the site as some kind of secret club unironically. People expecting /v/ to have some sort of quality when you literally don't even need an account or name to post. As much as faggots on this site will hate to hear this if you want at least the potential of quality and gatekeep then reddit would be where to go. You either get complete freedom to post without anyone being able to track who you are or any of your older posts OR you get control by being able to limit what people get to say or at the very least know who they are and what they had said in the past. You can't have both. Really curious how many people use /v/ exclusively and simply don't understand how much better other boards can be. It is well known /v/ and /b/ is where all of the retards go straight into and never leave. Maybe /a/, /co/ and /tg/ if they feel daring. Hell how many people are even aware there is 7 boards for video games alone not counting /tg/ or /vp/ which can technically bring it up to 9.

What actually is the legality status of loli in the US like? This whole time I'd been under the same impression that it's fully legal in the US and is considered protected speech under freedom of speech but a discussion I saw unfold in another site kind of made me unsure of things. According to a wikipedia article, there are countries where loli is fully legal and I thought the US was one of these countries but apparently it's not according to the article. Apparently it's considered a legal grey area in the US, people have been charged and jailed (if I read correctly) as recently as within the past 5 years. So how does it work exactly? Since this site allows it on /b/, and because some other sites do as well, I always thought that it's just legal.
