newsflash

fuck. I should discontinued browsing 3 years ago, at least.

Yeah, you won't get permab& or anything. It's a moral and legal obligation.

I would be all alone on /a/ if that were enforced. ;_;

Blast, I have only existed for fourteen millenia. Very well.

OP is butthurt by underage

you're not my real mom

>>21776942
No you wouldn't. /a/ would be a much better place if it was enforced, too. I fucking hate underage faggots.

excellent I was born 19 seconds ago

Actual underage faggots will probably think "fuk u, im matur"
How funny.

FORTY FIVE YEARS OLD!?

>>21777091
Tell me of the days before the internet. What was it like?

i was 21 when i first came.

>>21777164
link plox

>>21777238

idk

i just googled "anime in 1964"

I first heard of this place when I was 17, but only came here when I turned 18.

>>21777023
I don't care. 20 and have the maturity of a five year old. 'cept I can fap.

>>21776942
I believe they used to ban you based on how old you were, extending the ban until you turned 18.

>>21777320
Five year olds are actually more mature than fifteen year olds. True story.

>>21777361
On what basis? You mean in the inability to think for themselves and just do what they are told?

That's not a sign of maturity, bro.

>>21777361

SYNTAX ERROR

>>21777320
I could fap when I was 5...

>>21777215

How could you stand not to fap till you turn 21?

Get out if you can't read subs
Get out if you request upscales
Get out if you request archive for /a/ threads
Get out if you don't know what TT is
Get out if you favor Chihiro
Get out if you go to Gaia or Animesuki
Get out if you go to /b/ or /r9k/
Get out if you use vlc
Get out if you are under 18
Get out if you hate h264 or MKV

>>21777432
you forgot get out if you're not a lolicon.

I came here when I was 14.

I am now 19.

The rules also say that trolling outside of /b/ is bannable. Moot doesn't care about the rules, though.

>>21777432
If we're gonna be assholes might as well add:
Get out if you watch/read popular fighting shounen (Bleach,Naruto,One Piece,Negima,etc.)

>>21777445
You mean:

Get our if you're a normalfag

Why do we hate underage people so much? I mean, most of /a/ is comprised of pedos, isn't it?

3D underage is pig disgusting.

>>21777432
100% agreed with all of those.

>>21777498
Because fucking children and dealing with their shit are two different things.

>>21777550
2d underage is also pig disgusting

>>21777567
So you just want the pleasures without the problems. You pedos really are scum. Never again claim you want to fuck children because you are the only ones who truly love them.

>>21777567
You do realise that sentence has 4 possible meanings...

>>21777622
Who said that I want to fuck children? I'm just explaining two different things here. The whole "fucking someone and not wanting to deal with their shit" applies to all ages.

>Get out if you go to /b/ or /r9k/
that one is pretty stupid. I've been going to /r9k/ for about as long as it has existed, and /r9k/ probably has the smartest, most level-headed posters anywhere on 4chan.

>>21777432
>Get out if you request archive for /a/ threads
nowai

>Get out if you favor Chihiro
If other option is AniKat and AniYoshi is slow then...
but yes, i don't favor or prefer chihiro except over shittier shits

the other things i agree.

especially if one can't READ subs. that's like
OHGODHOWDIDIGETHEREI'MNOTGOODWITHENGLISH

>>21777659
>The whole "fucking someone and not wanting to deal with their shit" applies to all ages.
That is true. Most Anons want a girl to fuck, but they complain all the time about women and their problems (although, truth be told, women problems usually ARE retarded). But pedos usually argue that they're the only ones who truly love children because they treat them as "equals". Well, maybe I was wrong, I guess they do when that's the same way they treat an adult woman: just fucking them and never listening to them.

>>21777679
>/r9k/ probably has the smartest, most level-headed posters anywhere on 4chan.
Even if this is true, it's not an accomplishment. They lack common sense as much as everyone else.

I'm looking at /a/ right now, and about half the posts look like they've been made by a /b/tard, underageb&, or a combination of both.

Fucking summer.

>>21777708
>especially if one can't READ subs.
It's usually Americans who whine that the subs go too fast and they're "distracting". Basically, they admit they are slow readers.

Why are we even trying to discuss anything here? Everyone knows /a/ is the stupidest SFW board.

>>21777757
I think /v/ has us beat.

>>21777622
It's not pedo if you aren't attracted to real 3d kids.

>>21777715
I assume that IRL pedos (the ones who aren't rapists) probably act kindly towards children and do love them. The ones on 4chan? Not so much.

>>21777679
lol
The only GTFO criterion that applies to me is that I go to /b/ and /r9k/. I don't go to /r9k/ for maturity...

>>21777469
moot gave up on /a/ last autumn. I guess he hasn't even enough mods to delete all the CP on /b/.

>>21777498

>>21777755
This thread is bad enough as it is without you trying to turn it into a political thread, thank you very much.

>>21777708

>>21777825
>I guess he hasn't even enough mods to delete all the CP on /b/
Because he refuses to "hire" any more. Who cares if they'd raise some shit, we need some fucking mods!

>>21777785
>I assume that IRL pedos (the ones who aren't rapists) probably act kindly towards children and do love them. The ones on 4chan? Not so much.
This argument started because someone said that /a/ should love underage b& because /a/'s full of pedos (thus attracted to prepubescent children), but underage b& are generally not prepubescent children, but annoying teenagers. 14-17 years old.

All of you in this thread that admit going to /b/, or use 3D reaction image, get the fuck out.

>>21777828
que?

>>21777772
It really doesn't. /v/ is like that on purpose.

>>21777913
>3D reaction image, get the fuck out.
What the fuck are you talking about, stop sucking your own cock.

>>21777891
You have a point, but the argument I'm making more than anything else is that attraction=/=love

>>21777708
Oh, someone's watching Asura Cryin. The bad thing is, now that I started watching a Shithiro sub, they're starting to get slow. Looks like they're oversubbing Hayate no Gotoku now, which is beyond retarded.

I was 17 when I first got here. But that was 2006.

>>21777955
Sucking my own cock? I'm fucking anonymous, that's not even possible unless I explicity state "I AM AWESOME FOR USING 2D REACTION IMAGES ONLY", which I clearly did not. Stop being a fucking idiot.

>>21777949
>/v/ is like that on purpose.
Keep thinking that, bro. And even if that was true, that's stupidity in itself to deliberately do that.

>>21777891
That's because the law defines pedophilia as being attracted to pubescent children too, but it's not the same at all. In my opinion, pedophilia is only when someone is attracted to prepubescent children. Being attracted to teenagers is normal.

>>21778034
Oh, to clarify: we like teenagers' BODIES. Not their attitudes.

>>21778034
you keep telling yourself that, pedo.

>>21777913
If you're going to resort to reaction image faggotry in /a/, it should at least be 2D. Especially since when it's not it's usually a reaction image from a shit board like /b/. Still, even if someone uses 3D reaction images, I'm fine with them as long as they meet all >>21777432

>>21777990
This board is about anime and manga. If you're going to post reaction images (which is retarded), post on topic ones.

/a/'s biggest "cancer", if you want to call it that, is the posting of completely unrelated to anime/manga/VNs/Mahjong and other topics that make some sense to post in /a/. THIS THREAD FOR INSTANCE. I also wish /a/ would learn how to use the sage function and stop aging shitty threads to the top. Why do you retards have to keep aging the Bleach>One Piece threads? Why do you keep lifting your terrible arguments about who cares to the top? No one wants to see that stuff, but you idiots bring it up to the front page again, and again, and again.(Don't give me any of that hide the thread bullshit. Not only does it rarely work properly in linux, but there's also the fact that I'd rather not have only one thread to look at on the front page. The shitty hidden threads take up space too!)

>>21778115
Sage does nothing.

Stop whining about reaction images, there's nothing wrong with them. They're funny, and a good way to express how you think about something without writing it in the same sentence all the time.

It's only annoying when a thread becomes a "reaction image thread".

>>21778115
>anime/manga/VNs/Mahjong
>VNs/Mahjong
>VNs
>Mahjong

If you are going to talk about cancer. Cancer is the people who think the rules only apply to what they want. So really we should only have threads about animu and mango.

>>21778179
I hope you're trolling.
Sage is a thread voting system. It does the opposite of bump, and if enough people sage, it will be deleted.

>>21778179
No, my idiotic pal. It actually does something. It stops the thread from being bumped to the top while you leave your opinion. E.g. you can have your stupid internet arguments and not disturb the rest of the board. But I guess assholes like you would rather the front page was filled with garbage, eh?

>>21778115
>anime/manga/VNs/Mahjong
VNs are /jp/ material. Mahjong is /tg/ material.

>The shitty hidden threads take up space too!
If those threads were gone they'd just be replaced with different shit.

>>21778243
And this is what newfags really think about sage.

>>21778243
>Sage is a thread voting system. It does the opposite of bump, and if enough people sage, it will be deleted.
.......

Oh my god. OH MY GOD, there really ARE people who believe this bullshit! Oh goddammit, you are such a fucking retard it's unbelievable!

>>21778253
>herp derp I only wants threads relevant to my own interests being bumped on the first page

Too bad I'm underage

>>21778257
I wasn't talking about what's supposed to be posted here. I was talking about what makes sense to post here. Many people here play Mahjong/VNs, so it's not that out of the picture to bring them up. Some people don't want to invoke a shitstorm over on /jp/ y'know.

>>21778293
Since the beginning of time sage has been used for threadshitting. Don't act like there was some holy time on 4chan where sage represented anything but thread voting.

>>21778243 Sage is a thread voting system
No, it isn't, dumbfuck. Some people might want to use it for this purpose, but that's clearly against the original intention.

So people get all pissy when you use sage in their thread, and the whole thread usually goes down the shitter. Fucking summer.

>>21778314
Well, yeah, that's what he said in the first place. He's just whining, I thought that obvious from the first time he wrote.

>>21778314
Not really. I don't complain at all when there's a (non-wiki spammed) OP thread, or a Negima thread, despite the fact I hate both enormously. I will complain if there's a bleach thread, or a completely stupid metathread like this though.

>>21778352
>Many people here play Mahjong/VNs, so it's not that out of the picture to bring them up.
Yeah, and many people are Americans too, so it's not out of place to start a discussion about whether Obama is a good president or not.

Idiot.

>>21778355
Ugh. My face hurts from facepalming so hard. Sage is a tool to post whatever you want to post without bumping the thread to the front page. It never once was a voting system to delete threads. You want a voting system to delete threads? The report button is the closest you're going to get and we all know how effective it is.

>>21778352
Just because a lot of the people have interests in something doesnt mean they post it in a board that is unrelated to that topic.

.>>21778243
10/10 FFFFFFFF A+++++ WOULD RAGE AGAIN

>>21778355
You obviously havent been here since the "beginning of time" or you would actually know.

>>21778372
I won't deny I'm whining, because that's true. Just like many other people in this thread. That doesn't immediately invalidate my opinion though. I just wish people would stop putting metathread/trollthreads/threads that will only result in trolling on the front page. Any discussion is fine, even about series I don't like (as long as it isn't going to obviously incite trolling).

>>21778425
Not a fair comparison. While many people here are Americans, not many are interested in politics. Obviously an Obama thread would only get trolling and idiotic opinions, which is a reason not to post that. A mahjong thread on the other hand can get some interesting discussion about a topic a lot of people in the board are interested in with minimal to no trolling.

sure is summer 2009 cancer in here

>>21778433
Not for deleting threads but for insulting the OP. And it's a known fact the more sages a threads gets the faster it gets off the front page, it's why sagebombing worked for so long.

>>21778433
In his defence, a lot of people started believing this because some people perpetuated the dubious fact that if a thread gets enough sages, the reply (bump) limit will be reached earlier and thus the thread will fall off the board quicker. But since those limits are like 200 posts per thread now, and sagebombers start when there's been 3 posts in the thread, it's just bullshit.

>>21778551
>sagebombing
>work

>>21778551
>Sage is a thread voting system.

Explain this then.

>>21778523

See >>21778441

Now shut up.

>>21778586
I'm not getting your point. Because it's against the rules, you shouldn't do it even if it causes no harm, and improves the quality of the board? The /jp/ / /a/ split is stupid anyway. People shouldn't have to switch boards to talk about completely related interests.

>>21778523
Plenty of /a/ssholes play videogames. Does that mean they should be discussed here? No? We have a board for that, just like we have /jp/ and /tg/ for VNs and Mahjong.

>>21778641
>I'm not getting your point.
Then you must be mentally absent.

Also see >>21778658

>>21778641
>The /jp/ / /a/ split is stupid anyway.
Sounds like someone is butthurt.

>>21778658
Actually, we do have videogame threads from time to time, and they tend to work out pretty well. I can remember one yesterday actually. /tg/ obviously is a bad idea for Mahjong. Seriously, that's not what they play. And /jp/ is filled with a bunch of elitists. They'd probably insult you for bringing up a /vn/ if it didn't fit in their tastes.

>>21778682
I can see it just fine without you constantly pointing at posts, thanks. Bring up an actual point, or you're the one who needs to shut up.
>>21778689
Pretty much.

>>21778707
Just because you don't like the people that go to those boards doesn't mean you can just post it somewhere else. Those are your peers when it comes to those interests, and those are the ones you'll have to do with.

>>21778734
>Bring up an actual point
Okay it's obvious you are trolling now. Ignoring.

This thread just imploded on itself and became horribly fulfilling in it's own disturbing way.

I don't think I can put up another 2 months of the same predictable drivel. I can tell already that older members are leaving because the buffer between normal discussion and the usual unrefined posting you can spot a mile away is lessening. What's left is the older and yet more sensationalist members who start fires like this. The way the internet as a whole is becoming more and more like a mirror of the demographics in the real world is indeed disturbing, and in the case of media forms like this board promotes, a flytrap.

The ironic thing is, i'm 18. And yet I feel old and outdated, that my territory is disappearing to the general kids, manchildren, womanchildren and bored teenagers on GCSE study leave or the other corresponding equivalent where you live. I shouldn't be feeling like that now.

At this point, change needs to be swift, but those in charge or those with the power to are beyond help. But where exactly can I leave to?

>>21778707
>Actually, we do have videogame threads from time to time, and they tend to work out pretty well.
Lol.

Kawata Shoujo or w/e is really the only one. Before we found out it was shit Valkyrie Chronicles was in here. We had JUS around last year with Onsoukumaru all the time, I cant remember past that too much because I dont care about /v/ and its related material much.

>>21778754
Because, why, exactly? I can easily make a Mahjong thread here. And even if I got banned for it, getting out of bans is easy. I wouldn't get banned, though, because mods have better things to worry about. If I would rather discuss things with /a/, and most of /a/ is willing to discuss the topic, there is no problem but the rules, which as I've said are easily avoidable. And in this case unnecessary. I'm done arguing now, sorry for wasting so much time on this stupid topic, but it's always fun discussing things with /a/, even stupid things like this. Good day sirs.

>>21778707
>/jp/ is filled with a bunch of elitists. They'd probably insult you for bringing up a /vn/ if it didn't fit in their tastes.
Welcome to every board on 4chan.

Also, just because the discussion can go well, it doesn't mean it should be allowed. The reason this board is called "animu and mango" is because it exists for discussion of topics that are directly related to anime and manga. Not touhou and mahjong and a few VNs and maybe some videogames or reaction image threads or politics discussion threads

.If you want a board where you can discuss anything, fuck off to /b/ or /arcanine/.

Take a break from 4chan. And search for a new home on the smaller chans. They're slow, and most are /b/ centered, but maybe you can still find something good about them.

I've never understood why people hate the idea of young people posting on 4chan. Most of us were underage when we started posting here. I know I was.

As long as people act reasonably mature and try to make intelligent contributions to the discussion, I don't mind.

Retards are retards. There's plenty of idiots that are in their 20s who browse /a/. Age isn't an excuse.

So... you're admitting to being stupid?

>>21779026
True, it's just that people <18 are usually idiots. If you're not 18 yet, but you can make posts (not mentioning your age) without everyone going "underage b&" then there is really no problem. Worse are these kind of people: >>21778776 who think they are SO mature, their opinion is more valid than others, and they don't need to listen to other people's arguments, because, well, they're so much more MATURE than them.

>>21779099
I don't even get how you could possibly arrive at that conclusion. It's probably some logical fallacy, but I'm too lazy to look up which one it is exactly right now.

But it was probably intentional because you're just trying to troll. Or you really are stupid. Either way, no need to bother.

>>21779026
>As long as people act reasonably mature and try to make intelligent contributions to the discussion, I don't mind.

This is the problem. Admittedly, we've always had this to some extent but at the very least, it's not as common as during this time of the year. What's worse is that people don't even lurk at all and just start posting thinking as if they know the ins and outs of how we do things here. I remember that someone made a comparison of our situation to a bunch of whatevers (experts? experienced?) going about their business when some kid butts in acting like he knows more than all the experts(?) in the room. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it is definitely annoying.

>>21779168
Not just that. He's so smart, I don't understand what he is even doing here, among all those retards. He's obviously out of place. He'll probably fit in much better with the intelligent crowd at Gaia or Animesuki.

Anon, just leave /a/, you're too good for this place. You are wasting your intelligence on a site filled with retards like this.
