>>61582 Because vtumorfags and gachafags are filthy paypigs. That's why they're shunned. They waste money on streamer whores and gambling for PNGs. Literal subhumans.

>>61665 An anime may or may not be produced with the intention of milking money however the end product, when it's good, is entirely removed from their intentions. Anime girls speak and behave accordingly to in-universe goings on. Their movement is completely compartmentated off from reality. The same cannot be said of vtubers that are functionally identical to masks.

>>61669 While I understand your point now and mostly agree, then with the same logic you could also argue that the money goes to roasties who then provide more content people want, even if said people are extra cucked. And then otaku don't have a monopoly on the anime/manga style which became so successful even retarded westerners and roasties like/use it. But I have no energy in myself to hate such people, if the crap is what they want. >>61672 Okay, this is more convincing. Thanks.

>>61695 Vtubers aren’t e-thots, they are entertainers: basically idols who don’t need to be attractive irl. WESTERN vtubers do resemble e-thots to a high degree so I want to make that distinction because they’re also really bad as entertainers, ie, can’t be bothered to change their voice or pretend to be a certain character etc. Japanese vtubers are straight-up entertainment workers in the entertainment industry.

>>61711 I've never masturbated to 3DPD as far as I can recall. My introduction was 2D 15 years ago, and I've remain faithful.

>>61714 yeah I keep forgetting how much western indies ruined the scene and made it look just twitch streaming with an avatar, but most JP chuubas are basically digital idols, kinda makes me think of how AKB48 started as "idols you can meet!", but for the internet

>>61723 Probably because it's just blogposting past a point, but I find the conversation of masturbation to 2D vs 3D part of the entire otaku identity. It's also irrelevant to the thread I suppose. Could also just be the anon deleted both posts by mistake, since they posted it twice in a row.

what is this śchizo thread even about anymore

>>58560 8moe didn't have the same exposure as 4chan does cause to begin with it being censored by Search Engine Giants(Google, Bing(Microsoft), and Yahoo, and it prevents it from getting the exposure it needs. In fact the only search engines so far that show 8moe is Startpage, Mojeek, and Brave Search, with the latter two requiring specifically to search 8chan moe while you can actually find 8chan.moe by just typing "8chan" on Startpage. That said, 8moe has done remarkably well for being censored by association for the original 8chan. It retains good traffic even if its declined after 4chan has reopened. It just needs to maintain steady servers and the rest will take care of itself. >the cuck website with its 3 captchas, 15 minute timers, blocked VPNs and every other thread getting nuked? Obviously not, 4chan has its base largely due to brand recognition and being one of the "1st" imageboards out there. However, gradually, people will realize the superiority of 8moe and will flock here as they get tired of 4chan's arbitrary restrictions.

>>61750 🙏 🙏 🙏

>>61750 >However, gradually, people will realize the superiority of 8moe and will flock here as they get tired of 4chan's arbitrary restrictions. I wish I had your optimism anon

>>61750 >However, gradually, people will realize the superiority of 8moe and will flock here as they get tired of 4chan's arbitrary restrictions. How will people find us though? you need to know about 8chan and remember it as an option in order to go there. really 8chan just needs more exposure. that's the biggest issue imo

I'm thinking about taking a break from posting because it seems there's little actual anime discussion here and there are literal frogposting faggots in the other thread dominated by the retarded ID discussion.

>>61764 fugg, I thought it'd take a bit longer for frogposters to appear welp, it was nice while it lasted

>>61764 >checks thread >no frogs >the closets thing is a dbs capture

>>61776 See >>61730

>>61777 well that's Apu. he's the good frog

Lol, he deleted the frog out of shame

>>61780 no such thing as good frogs. let a single frog in and they take over your entire board. this is why they need to be genocided on sight. >>61783 no, probably got deleted by justwannahelp for triggering him.

>>61784 >checks logs >it was a different bv rent free

>>61790 he samefags now from multiple accounts now? sad.

>>61792 >avoids the point

>>61795 >wittgenstein midwit, opinion discarded

>>61800 Thanks for confirming there's a freeloader in your head. Q.E.D.

>>61802 I accept your concession.

>thread for the niche show i'm following this season is now dead sad

>>61874 on here?

>>61582 Because you're being offtopic and oversharing stuff people give no crap about, like a low-functioning autist. >>61714 Dude, they are hostesses in an online hostess bar wearing masks. They do what the customer wants for spare change, not with 'artistic expression' or the 'love of singing/acting/stand-up comedy' goals in mind. Any third-rate starlet writing crappy songs and being a piece of wood on the stage is more respectable and authentic than them. >>61728 It has outlived its purpose. >>61750 Bing doesn't censor 8chan. See pic. >However, gradually, people will realize the superiority of 8moe and will flock here as they get tired of 4chan's arbitrary restrictions. Perhaps to 8chan as a whole, but definitely not this ID-infested board. >>61762 Do your part.

>>61599 If you want to go conspiracy theory, the 4chan blog had a grok generated image, and GrapeApe is known to pay for a Xitter subscription.

>mods create a new meta thread and autosage this one instead of just pinning this one fucking retards

>>62001 It's meta but not related to 8/a/. The alternative is merging this thread with >>37670, that would bumplock both.

>>61582 There's no shared appeal and people post vtumors because muh anime artstyle

All this lash back at vtumors is heartwarming lol >>61719 Aniki.. Similar situation but 12 years here

>>61582 Japan raised vtubers and gacha games organically, but they weren't getting translated to English until they got huge, so to the western sphere they look like sudden invaders that are killing anime.

>>58560 this place has the problem of 8kun of not pruning old threads/not having a bump limit the board is full of obsolete and old threads that doesn't help the fact that this place has a really small population
