To get (You)s

I like cartoons

Fuck comics tho, literally who reads that shit?

Sup Forums is not a hivemind, there are some people that genuinely like cartoons, and some people that genuinely like comics, sometimes even both, there's just a vocal majority that shit's on both

want to talk about cartoons, go to Sup Forums and say how can we make a game out of it
want to talk about games, go to Sup Forums and say make a cartoon out of it
walla

>"If you don't like every cartoon or comic ever you shouldn't be here"

because I'm avoiding Sup Forums like the plague due to fear of Sonic Mania leaks

did the same thing during the runup to persona 5. otherwise I usually just lurk here

I used to make scanlations of comics I like. I scanlated like a hundred and twenty books or something.

I just don't buy capeshit.

This but extended:

There are people that like a thing and a person that hates a thing, this is true for every thing we have to discuss. It weighs differently per thing on if it's a more liked thing or hated thing, but Sup Forums for the most part doesn't completely hate anything.

The hivemind way of saying "ugh, Sup Forums" comes from a fanboy being mad that there seems to be someone, anyone, with a different opinion. It's the ultimate excuse to dismiss an argument.

Sup Forums is one person.

>tfw every well populated blue board is now just Sup Forums retardation in a different skin

>people come to discuss comics and cartoons
>popular ones inevitably get brought up
>being a bunch of contrarians just for the sake of it will hate on it
>things that aren't popular don't get posted due to not being well known
>as a result anons can only be negative

Sometimes anons need to know when to admit "it may not be original, but it's true, I like this". Sure, sometimes you're really in the mood the hate on something, we all do sometimes, but I often find myself happier when I'm taking joy in liking something as opposed to when I'm taking joy in hating something.
It's okay to be a little honest with yourself sometimes and simply like what you like, even if it's not exactly that original.

...you have a point.

I think it's mainly for the Kill Six Billion Demons threads nowadays.

The problem is that all the "Sup Forums Console War tier" shitposters who enter any thread which isn't their favourite and tries to start shit.

With comics, it's obviously the Marvel Vs DC shit. If the thread doesn't involve either company or capeshit in general, such as European comic threads, they will usually go smoothly.

Modern cartoon threads are plagued with fandom wars right now, which is a stupid "You can only like one show at any one time" mentality made to derail threads. Classic shows avoid it a bit more, but discussions of modern shows get too plagued by people who think you care that they hate everything about a 10 minute animated show that actual fans can't be bothered any more.


Also people need to stop reacting to Sup Forums posters. So many threads would go far better if people didn't take the bait every time.

I think you're on the wrong board to post this hell of a meme, here, let me guide you:

To discuss politics and video games, since we actually like those.

I like Comics. I like Cartoons.
I dunno what the rest of these fucksticks are doing here.

I hate everyone here that uses the hivemind logic and the contrarian logic, they're part of what makes this board hard to use.

Please elaborate.

>video game board
>Everyone hates video games

>Bring up good shows Sup Forums would definitely enjoy and like for discussion
>Ignored and threads die quickly

Because it is more fun arguing about cartoons and comics than consuming them

For the waifus, I don't care about what they're from.

>lol you guys hate [board topic]

This mentality is what killed Sup Forums

...

you could say that for all of Sup Forums

the only reason you see these types of threads and discussion is because there will be others who are willing to defend what they like and engage in shitty arguments until they get sick of it or something new pops up for the vitriol to be focused on

>Website where you can be anonymous
>Everyone posts porn, dick pics, and uses it as a way to vent out their everyday anger

What did you expect?

It probably seems that way because more discussion is generated by people arguing about something than everyone just saying, "Yeah, it's good."
Visit the general threads to see what happens when everyone enjoys the thing being discussed. It quickly devolves into shipping, headcanon, and "what do you think _____'s farts smell like?"

>comics and cartoons
>no one talking about George Carlin, Seinfeld or Scooby-doo

Man. 2012 seems so far away now. I wonder if when I'm 60 I'll still feel this same feeling looking back on Sup Forums, assuming I'll ever leave this place.

>dislike thing

MAKE UP YOUR MIND Sup Forums DO YOU HATE IT OR LIKE IT
or
LOL CAN'T THINK FOR YOURSELF

Sup Forums loves comics, at least, which is why they get so mad when presented with nothing but shit from the biggest publisher

We're all massive hypocrits.

Don't you wanna know what's in the hole?

Well that;s just it though. So many people are too cowardly to make up their own opinions. They're too afraid of the trendy crowd wailing on them so they attempt to fit in by mimicking what they see, regardless of how much or how little they actually know about the subject at hand, and here, where memes are no longer made for posts, but posts are made for memes, the thought doesn't even cross people's minds that you should express anything different than the next shitposter.

Ironic shitposting killed this whole website.

This
Ironic shitposting means you're smart enough to know what's dumb, but too dumb to know what's funny.

Pull a /fur/ on all the "inner city" boards. Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, pol/, Sup Forums, the lot of em. Permeban everyone. You can't get an old forest back to its original state, but you can induce secondary succession and watch new things grow. All I know is that we've been in a state of decay for seven years straight.

I like you, Squidward. Keep drinking that tea.
>that pic
>realize I've let Sup Forums heavily influence my likes and dislikes on comics I'll never read
Fuck.

>durr hurr why do people argue about things

Were you dropped as a baby? Arguing about dumb shit is fun.

>post critical of a show you like
>"you all hate the entire medium!"
It doesn't work like that.

>So many people are too cowardly to make up their own opinions.
This is a retarded statement when it's usually used as a rebuttal for a dumb show having a shitty fanbase that the show's crew watches for notes

comics are okay but anime and futa hentai is the best

>people totally can't change their IPs and evade bans
>implying gook moot would want to lose users and in turn lose fakin joocy gook ad revenue

I'd suggest to kill Sup Forums for a solid six months or a year, and a good bit of the cancer would go away. Or I'd suggest for anons to create groups of posters that try to facilitate and promote quality posting while shaming/reporting cancer on their respective boards.

Futa on female is top tier, but futa on anything else belongs in the trash.

This. The only way to enjoy cartoons is to stop looking at its negatives and find its positivity.

If you enjoy something, you're a shill

If you don't enjoy something, you're a contrarian

If you want to argue a point, then you got baited

If you like _____, then you're a _____fag

We're no longer excited that there's an actual comunity of us out there, we can actually discuss cartoons and not be looked down upon. We forgot that feeling about wanting to share and talk about an awesome cartoon you found, but not having anyone who cared about the medium listening. All we care about now is making sure that if anyone has a slightly differing opinion then us, its shit. No reasoning to why, they are just, shit. This is what ruined this board, and don't even dare complain about it, because you will only be met with
>Sup Forums was always shit lol
and that mentality is why it can only get worse from here.

Because they both could be so much better than they are now

i love comics i dont know why i'm here

I'm the exact opposite. I can't stand cartoons these days. I'm all about comics now.
Hell, I used to hate comics, too.

>stupid people make thread
>Make bad hyperbolic comments

I've never felt so sad for Sup Forums.

No wonder you people fucking lost Sup Forums to the shitposters, you're goddamn Geriatrics so set in your ways you couldn't adapt and meet with the evolving internet.
You don't fucking know how things work anymore, believing shit like furry spam and "raids" will actually be of any worth on a now globalized and massive Sup Forums, still acting like Furaffinity and Sup Forums threads are the only place where those are common and people haven't seen a million Furshit images before. You're trying to capture the magic of the olds days, of old Sup Forums, when that shit ran out almost a decade ago.

That's the exact same way robots on /r9k/ are "fighting" the constant Trap and BBC posting that's taken a hold of their board. Is it working? Fuck no, because fighting cancer with cancer hasn't been an effective form of combat against shitposting for nearly 10 years now.
They're trying to fight a war they've already lost because they can't accept the fact of change or adapt to it. They're a dying breed for a reason, and that's because they're weak.

Same as you all. You're too goddamn focused on remembering the glory of old that you more or less have chosen to damn the future because you realize you've grown bitter at it and there's no place in it for you.

I got no respect for oldfags like you two. You're fucking chumps, the 90's kids of Sup Forums, too focused on the past to try and make the future better, content to just sit on your keisters and whine about the kids these days and how trolling had heart put into it.
Never having enough care to put heart into what you post now, always waiting for someone else to improve the site, never yourself.

So?

Just because something is new doesn't mean it's not shit. Evolution isn't linear. Evolution just means that whatever survives the best survives the most. Evolution doesn't care for things like quality and culture. The reason things are so shit is because it's easy to be shit.

Literally who said anything about "fightign cancer with cancer?" What's so salvageable about the current state of Sup Forums that warrants you defending it this vehemently? What makes you think anyone who isn't sucking mod dick on IRC can really do anything? The most one can do is ignore the shitposting, but that it. Newfags will be newfags. They will imitate what they see here, and what have we seen here for the last seven years (at least) but unadulterated shitposting? It's like drinking your own piss over and over again. Someone who knows better knows ot report and ignore the next BBC thread they see, but the new guy? He'll bite that bait like a complete retard, or worse yet, he'll think that's what he ought to do.

Now, i certainly don't lobby for fighting spam with spam, but be honest. get off your high horse long enough to think for a moment. If you aren't what I think you are (that is, a shitposter who doesn't want anyone infringing on his favorite anti-depressant pastime), then what do you think will actually help? Define "adaptation" here, if it isn't just deciding to resort to brainless shitposting in resignation because "oh well, if that's what the kids are into..."

>I suggest a solution for maybe, just maybe, fixing Sup Forums that gook moot would never do
>I suggest that people should facilitate and participate in quality discussions
>try to band together and make boards good

I am just trying to be hopeful. But you are right at certain points. Sup Forums has become super popular over the years, especially with the fairly recent 2016 elections (look at domain traffic). There really isn't much we can do about and the people that do try to fight either use lame shitposting or get bored of reporting/debating. It sucks. But I try to engage in quality discussions on my respective boards and I try to breathe life into another imageboard that I frequent.

>you're unable to adapt to the evolution of Sup Forums

Because it's a shitty evolution. Blatantly new posters suck and don't bring much to the table. Everyday threads somehow manage to descend into political discourse, intense circle jerking, blatant b8, or people arguing about social-justice and other stupid shit.

You read what I said but didn't comprehend half of it. Instead of finding new ways to fight the shit, you kept doing the same old crap you always did, and when that didn't work? You were left with your hands in your lap wondering where everything went wrong.

I'm not saying the new shit isn't garbage, I'm saying that you oldfags, Sup Forums, didn't change your ways at all to adapt to it. You kept doing what you used to when you were an underage here until you realized you couldn't anymore.
You didn't notice any signs, you didn't stop feeding the troll when you noticed he didn't stop, you never did jackshit to try and help Sup Forums survive the test of time. You were too content sitting in your bubble before you realized the area around you was on fire, then you threw up your hands in a shrug and went "Oh well, that's just how it is".

Defending Sup Forums? Fuck no, I'm blaming you oldfags just as much as I'm blaming the shitposters for ruining this place.
Half of you faggots jumped ship the moment the newfags started coming in, while the other half didn't do jack to try and teach them how things are supposed to be beyond yelling "LURK MOAR". You know what happens when they lurk nowadays? They learn that shitposting and shit-flinging are the norm and you gotta always hate on whatever's popular, as is the Sup Forums Contrarian nature.

You can blame newfags all you want, and it is partly their fault. But blame goes onto the Old Guard of this site as well. You people let Sup Forums become what it is today. You let this site decay into the heap it is now, and now you sit here and pass all the blame for it onto the newguys?

As for adaptation, there is no adaptation for you. My suggestion is to make like a tree and leave, you clearly despise, and rightfully so, what Sup Forums has become, but are more inclined to throw fingers and accuse others of being shitposters simply when they don't agree with you like most of the newfags today.

>Sup Forums is not a hivemind
Could have fooled me.

>everyone hates comics
But that's not true
>everyone hates cartoons
That's not true either.
Why are you even here if you don't browse this place? You clearly aren't apart of the community.

You, on the other hand, have good ideas, but your suggested methods to try and improve quality on Sup Forums aren't the way to do it at all.

Trying to get a group of anons to "enforce" quality discussion, snubbing out any that doesn't reach the standard is asinine.
People in general, especially people on Sup Forums, are usually anti authority in some form of another, and pissing people off by making a group of people who at any time can gang up on you and bully you away would quite literally make Sup Forums a hugbox, almost Tumblr, even.

As nice as it sounds to have the shitposters shoved away, the good times wouldn't last before seemingly normal conversation is bullied into submission because it doesn't fit the good standard of discussion, and more and more people would get angry with it before they either demand change or simply leave.

Imagine the Janny situation but increased 10 fold, where what counts as "quality discussion" is a much more vague term than "this guy posted porn on a blue board, ban him".

I say just keep doing what you're doing, promoting good discussion and ignoring the shitposting, is what's best, even if it doesn't seem very effective sometimes.

>"You can only like one show at any one time" mentality made to derail threads.
I remember this started up in the days of horse show, they were talking about how they were "converting" people away from other cartoons into watching it, even bragging that they'd stopped watching others and were only watching pastel equines. Fucking cancerous fucks

I think the most appropriate, succinct and monosyllabic rebuttal to this would be "bitch, you don't know me."

Note how I talked about the "Inner City" boards. These are not the only boards I go to, in any regard. I (usually) OP the Invertebrate threads on /an/. I also frequent /k/ still nogunz though.... You are indeed correct in saying that has the best idea here. You are wrong in assuming I'm some old fart yelling at kids from his rocking chair. I do what I can to add to discussion. I participate, and when possible, I contribute OC. The Dead Space threads on /tg/ were perhaps the most fun I've had on this site period, and that's when I, among many others, did everything that guy just described. Whether or not you believe me or take my word for it is up to you.

It's interesting that you can see both sides of a coin. Just be wary not to assume.

>it makes an ASS out of U and ME

Maybe I wasn't too particular on how I'd like it to be done, and maybe you are right. Even if small groups based out of IRC or Discord did what I suggested, sooner or later there'd be fights and arguments over what is considered quality posting.

But if you think about it, a small six or seven man group could easily breathe life into threads. They could just mind their own business and try to make the best of the threads they create/participate in. I think it'd also be good if anons branched out a little more and tried to become regulars of imageboards that aren't Sup Forums.

we don't hate it, we just love hating on them

You know what, you're right. I apologize, I'm just so tired of seeing of the old blaming those that came after them for all the problems plaguing this board. I absolutely despise it when people try to scapegoat everything onto a single group of people, never taking any responsibility for themselves.

Once again, I am sorry, and I did make an ass out of the both of us.

Maybe, but any group that's particularly small and tasked with enforcing or encouraging a set standard of rules or way of acting is usually prone to corruption or infighting.
Branching out could be a positive as well, but even if Sup Forums is shit, most people here are used to the shit or think that other sites are even worse, it'd be hard for a lot of them to leave their comfort zone.

>As for adaptation, there is no adaptation for you. My suggestion is to make like a tree and leave, you clearly despise, and rightfully so, what Sup Forums has become
An other oldfag here. I would have left this place long ago if I knew of any other site even a little bit like pre-2011 Sup Forums.
Everywhere else I've looked the culture of the sites are not my cup of tea to straight up abhorrent. The main reason I'm even still here is that once in a blue moon I see some glint of the old culture that brought me here in the first place. Even if it isn't the same as it was.

Agreed. Its way better than arguing about serious and important shit.

What about comic and manga?

I was here for the cartoons for a long time, but now i'm only waiting for clarence and SU to finish so i can finally say that i don't watch cartoons, i go into comics thanks for being in Sup Forums so long tho

THIS THIS THIS, Trying to get back to the old times never gonna happend and you ain't gona fix anything why that, why? because there is a reason things change, and if things return to how it was, then it gonna to return to being the same is today again

>Board of specific tastes/interests
>More critical of said interests due to larger time investment than others

The same reason Sup Forums posts on their board

for ze lewds

I like both.
I just hate shit.
Thing is that just about everything nowadays is shit.

We can only circle jerk so much
hence why most threads are about things that are mediocre
