For me at least, the board is so empty and slow that I don't want to post since it kind of feels like I'd be spamming the place up. Additionally I mostly like fandom stuff, but my main fandoms are super niche things nobody's heard of anyways, which makes the chances of anyone on such a small board caring about them abysmal.
No.1381
>>1379Sure, the majority of those communities are retarded antis and I don't think anybody would want them here anyway, but there definitely are some fujos who are ok with the problematic content. I think the bigger issue would be the overall negativity on this site, like the trans hate thread, the trap hate thread, calling everyone a moid for liking something you don't like etc. I think that's what would put off most people even if we advertised this board to them. As someone who's been on 4chan for years I don't mind any of that, but a lot of people aren't used to this kind of negativity being all over the board.

No.1435
>>1434>lurk and then complain about seeing political commentary)It's probably because those threads are the most active on the whole site and take over the front page when freakouts happen.

No.1826
>>1825Agree wholeheartedly. There already aren't enough places where women can freely post their anime tastes.
If a woman posts about liking an unconventionally attractive character on social media it's "cringe."
Posting about how cute a male character is in a space not specifically for women? Tits or GTFO and "lol gay."
Posting amongst other women about guys you like? "Why do you like X, he's awful/ugly/misogynistic/violent."
Women are incredibly critical of each other and it's pretty reductive. I think there are ways that you can discuss disliking something and maintain an aura of respect for the other poster.
"I do see the appeal of X character he… Why do you like him is it…?"
Or "I don't understand yumejoshi do you just like one character per show or…"
It opens an actual dialog and can help you and the other poster better understand each others taste.
I also want to say that as a whole there is very little respect for the scope of female interest. You look at any otome game or female targeted show and it's all bishie boys with the main variety coming from personality traits not physical differentiation. Even amongst female targeted works there is the message of "This is what a female anime fan should like."
Harem shows have more variety in the female cast they present and men seem more open to another guy having interest in a broad range of different women even if the waifu-wars are as brutal as ever.
Some women like shota, some the geriatric. Some like jocks for others it's goths. Thin, thick, long hair, bald. Women don't have a homogeneous taste and we need to normalize the whole scope of female interests and Otaku lifestyle not just what anime companies and social media sites have deemed marketable.

>>1939>I swear I have seen more CP here in just a couple of months than I ever did on 4chan in years.Did you notice? All other alternative chans like kohlchan, lainchan, dreamcity etc, don't get CP raids - they don't get any raids at all. Only female-only chans get raided with disgusting images - I still remember the big raid that happened at CrystalCafe that was send by kohlchan - they were posting scat, gore, CP and pictures of ugly nude males.
Why can't these animals (males) just leave us alone? Why do they have to disturb us with their digusting masturbation material? We women don't do that, so why do they do it? What do they get from it? Can't they ask themselves the question "what if the women in my life find out what I do? How will they react?" But by now I've understood that the males who do these raids have the mental capacity of a toasted bread.
No.1943
>>1940Sorry if I'm stupid, but is it really a raid if it's only a few threads? It looks to me more like some bot advertising an illegal Tor site. I agree with
>>1939 I literally had only seen IRL CP post twice before using this site and never once seen it on 4chan. I don't have much experience with alt-imageboards though so maybe shit like this is just part of dealing with the slower culture. The mods in /site/ talked about being understaffed so hopefully they'll be able to deal with this quicker soon.
No.1944
>>1943Even if it's not a real raid, it still disturbs the people in the image board. Also bots are way worse than real people, there was once a bot that plaqued CrystalCafe for an entire week - when the mods deleted their threads, it automatically created new ones and because of that the site had to shut-down the option for creating threads and posting images for around two weeks.

The only difference between the other imageboards and lol.cow/crystal.cafe is that they have more active mods. If I recall correctly, there's already been an imageboard that's been shut down because it was spammed by some bot posting CP.
No.1953
>>1951I've seen the tranny sushi.girl imageboard get spammed with CP as well. I've also seen some totally unrelated newly born imageboard which got spammed with beastiality. So i'm sure it's mostly bot targetting smaller IBs for some obscure advertising or shutting down the IB reasons. But I still think whoever creates those bots prefers targetting female only IBs because I have seen those spams more frequently there than anywhere else (Maybe it has to do with the fact that I hang out more on female IBs so I see them more often.) + it's not that hard to deduce that a moid created the bot and that this exact moid hates women. If I remember well, during the crystal.cafe gore and CP spam the images were attached with posts writting about hate for women all over it so yea.

But seriously, you really think it's just as easy as ~fighting back~? You really think people don't do that constantly? Like having created this imageboard specifically? Men hold all the positions of power and most of them have varying degrees of hatred towards women. Women who don't bend a knee a men or at least try to make an attempt at gatekeeping them from their spaces are ostracized and punished relentlessly until they break mentally. Even on this imageboard women who write posts about the feminist aspects of the fandom to bring more awareness to what women should look out for get told off for being spoilsports and "bringing in too much politics".
No.2219
>>2216i mean, in places that are obviously more cattered to women for example /cm/, the few men who complain in there and try to derail generals are invaders and its the rightful thing to call them out on the fact they are on a female-dominated space so they don't have the word on anything no matter how delusional they will act about it so they don't think too highly and smug of themselves, in other words, gatekeep.

No.2251
>>2250I also think that it's hard to know stuff like that until you know someone for a while. I have a co-worker, 40 year old guy, super nice and hardworking who likes anime. When we work together we talk about shows we're watching and our opinions on the current state of the industry, while he clearly doesn't watch as much as me he's one of the better irl anime fans I've met because he doesn't just watch Jump stuff and pretend to be super into the medium as a whole.
Anyway at one point Kodomo no Jikan came up and he mentioned backing the English physical release Kickstarter since its the only chance he'll get to buy it physically. Since then we've gone on to share a mutual interest in Alicesoft games and hate Twitter antis. He sometimes even indulges my rants about the current state of fandom even though he doesn't really participate.
Only see him at work, don't know much about him otherwise besides that he volunteers for city council but the point is I didn't learn that about him until after a year of working with him because normal people don't just out of nowhere share that information, and the kind that do are probably unapologetically degenerate or creeps.

Due to the lack of work experience, there's also a section for other activities that could make you appealing, in my case I have some (outdated) experience in web design as a hobby.

>>2219This reminds me of the time I got banned on /cm/ in the 00s for posting "make me a sandwich". The ban said something like "there are women browsing!" There's definitely not that level of moderation these days. I've seen threads where people turn up and keep insisting characters are lesbians and have no dicks, and are clearly trolling, but reporting them as trolls doesn't do shit compared to on boards like /a/ where they'll nuke a whole thread.
>>2409>>2410Weird seeing other people with the same story-ish. I've been trying to get help but the job center denied me any unpaid training work, and the local therapy services kept saying I shouldn't be there and they don't know what to do with me before kicking me off their books. I'm glad I get free care from no income, but that shit about hobbies becoming chores is way too true. I'm constantly stressed and stir crazy just sitting at home like there aren't enough hours in the day to achieve anything and it feels awful. Any time I try even thinking about how to fix things and sort my life out it's like my head is screaming relentlessly. Anything I say to anyone would be a lie, I have no skills, especially not social, I'm physically unable to hold a pen or be present most days of the month. Who the hell would bend over backwards to accommodate that.
Doctor at the hospital recently confirmed there's no pain killers or diagnosis I can be given, what's wrong with my body just doesn't count as a problem in their eyes, so I've had to think things back over after months of pretending it's nothing. Skip the getting a job thing since none of the routes I tried went anywhere. Just plan how to kill myself once my folks are gone, and it's only a matter of years now. I had this nice idea in my head that the older I got the more seriously they'd take it when I tell them I can't sit upright or my arms give out randomly, but they just keep saying the same shit no matter what, no matter where, no matter who. "Are you working? No? Then it doesn't matter." Case solved, no treatment required. Leave me to rot. Actual fujo I am.

It's endlessly enraging how newfags are gaslighting everyone into thinking that 4chan was always for being a bigoted edgelord hating on minorities and oppressed demographics when that was absolutely not the case in the beginning, the anons in 2004 were more occupied with hunting down pedos and animal abusers than the retarded life ruination and harassment shit incel /pol/faggots are doing now to random women and human rights activists.

No.2436
>>24334chan did market itself as "the depravity of humankind" but that was mostly about the breed of dark humor there which was the vogue in the early 00's. The thing is that it was just that, humor. People laughed at racist and misogynist jokes and memed about lolis and everything but nobody was seriously writing manifestos about going on a shooting spree or accusing jews of controlling the western hemisphere. What I remember from 4chan in the early to mid 00's is the snarky, nihilistic memes and a certain kind of fondness for those who had no place in the world.
Gamergate definitely acted as a focal point because during that time opportunistic right-wing nuts who weren't even gamers or outright despised them (Milo Yiannopoulis for example) co-opted the entire movement to manipulate and push their own agenda on gullible masses who were initially there to rightfully call out the corruption of gaming journalism. The ball sort of started rolling from there. Some of the well known figures even dropped the entire movement solely because of not wanting to be associated with said political values. After the 2016 elections and Trump winning presidency the /pol/ slanted side started gaining even more traction and those who used Gamergate to inflate their audience like the entire "skeptic" movement gave birth to the "alt-right" subculture, a mish-mash of conservative, homophobic, sexist, white-supremacy ideas combined with incels. I used to side with Gamergate in the beginning when it was "just" about the ethics in game journalism but as it progressed it was a real eye-opener to how every man has a sleeping beast that should never be awakened.

No.2439
>>2431>>2436Yeah, there was always dark humour and cruel jokes in 4chan, but in the end you were there to discuss your hobbies and interact with other people who were into the same things so there was an organic limit to how edgy you'd be. Most newfags don't even have hobbies beyond braindead video games and porn, they just use the website as an extension of Twitter or Discord and insist on this narrative that 4chan was always like this anyway. It's like they can't conceive having an actual conversation on an actual interesting topic, everything needs to be a sarcastic joke on the current state of the world to them.
On a personal level, the change /an/ has gone through deeply saddens me. I used to be a regular poster there at the beginning, and it was a genuinely hearty place where people would make threads to keep us updated about their pet's death process that would reach bump limit. Nowadays it's filled with edgy sociopaths that have normalized threads about cruelty towards animals and the use of "go back to reddit, vegan" to dismiss any non-cynical posts.
Also sorry for this dumb question but what was the whole Gamergate thing exactly about? Despite wasting my youth on the internet I always lived inside my own bubble and never paid any attention to these things.
No.2440
>>2439>in the end you were there to discuss your hobbies and interact with other people who were into the same things so there was an organic limit to how edgy you'd be. Very well said. I learned so much from different hobbyist boards and was passionate about sharing my own knowledge because back then people were actually doing that and not just posting child porn, racebait and ranting about not having a girlfriend. I remember when /soc/ opened and that felt like the beginning of the end because the people who were there to be autistic about their interests were shunned in favor of sociopaths who wanted to mingle and suck each others' dicks at webcam meets and IRL gettogethers.
>Also sorry for this dumb question but what was the whole Gamergate thing exactly about?In short, it was about three key people. First of all a game called "Depression Quest" by Zoe Quinn that was more of an interactive novel was greenlit on Steam despite adjacent games being rejected, and it received manufactured praise from journalists that she had close connections to. Secondly, Anita Sarkeesian was stealing game footage and scamming money with nonexistent crowdfund campaigns by milking the feminist angle in video games, mostly taking scenes out of context and saying "this is misogynist" without much elaborating or intelligent analysis. Third, Brianna Wu, a transgender game developer mooching off his rich husband's money and an absolute cow in his own right, faked being attacked and stalked. All of these people were called out for being detrimental to the entire gaming industry by exploiting nepotism, such as Zoe Quinn getting another female-exclusive game jam cancelled because it was competing with hers. So it definitely came from a place of good intentions to fight the lies and corruption in the industry but was branded as a harassment campaign almost immediately, attracting the attention of political activists who saw their chance. Of course there's a lot more nuance and story to it but that's basically where it started, however it's extremely hard to find a good, thorough writeup that isn't biased towards either side.

>>2442True. nta but that's the year when I gave up on tumblr and deleted my account after it slowly but surely turned into a SJW obsessed shithole, and when I made a twitter, thinking it'd be less terrible. It was way less terrible at first, until normies with no reading comprehension and critical thinking skills and tumblr refugees ruined it during the USA presidential elections. The gamergate shit was also annoying as fuck, literally just to different yet adjacent brands of retards fighting each other for internet clout. You'd think being a European weeb of African descent would make me not give a single fuck about this whole American bullshit, yet American localizers wouldn't stop fucking with Japanese games I was interested in that were released in NA and Europe and it got old very fast.

No.2449
>>2440>Zoe Quinn>Anita Sarkeesian>Brianna WuI think the thing I hate the most about "muh women in dork media" is that none of the "faces" of the movement ever have any fanart/fanfic in their history. I recognize that "no true Scotsman(fangirl)" is a fallacy but I just feel so strongly about fandom being a core tenet of womanhood in online spaces that it really bugs me that nobody who makes a career out of it is actually "one of us", you know?
No.2459
>>2449True lol, honestly the people who were the core targets don't even feel like they give a rats ass about the medium. When Anita starts complaining about sexism in games and uses Peach as an example all I can think is "Are you actually a fan of Mario? Do you play the RPGs? Why aren't you just writing a fanfic to address this problem?"
Like at the end of the day it's a bunch of basic bitch normies who don't have enough creativity or passion to expand up the things they play. I never felt excluded from games until they started complaining and then a bunch of men turned on all women in gaming spaces. Not that GamerGate was bad in principle, game journalists should get fucked, but the movement created some nasty annoying people. I think its telling that some guys at the center of it like Metokur bailed after they saw how stupid some of the losers involved became.
No.2460
>>2459>the core targets don't even feel like they give a rats ass about the mediumYeah, because they didn't. I'm nta, I didn't follow the whole thing at the time but even before that I remember Anita's videos being posted on tumblr with half of the SJWs there praising her for complaining about surface level shit, and half of them actually acknowledging she had no clue what she was talking about as a whole. Like, sorry but I like playable female characters who are fully developed characters with a well written arc and who are useful gameplay wise even if they're wearing "unrealistic" cute dresses in frills or sexy clothes as opposed to a fucking burqa like armor. Pic related I guess.
> I never felt excluded from games until they started complaining and then a bunch of men turned on all women in gaming spaces. I mostly play single player stuff and the fans I talked to the most often irl and online about the JRPGs and Nintendo games I like were girls and women around my age by far. The men I know who are into games are usually into shit like FIFA and COD and have no clue wtf Final Fantasy is. The only guy I know who is actually nerdy enough to sound like he knows what he's talking about is one of my friend's bf.
No.2461
>>2459>>2460There's honestly a lot to be critiqued about games and the gaming industry regarding casual misogyny and the disparity in female and male characters and how they're designed but Anita's videos were, as said, very surface level and went for reaches that weren't necessary. I also don't like the fact that women get ridiculous bikini armor while men get cool full armor in the same game or how female employees are treated at game companies but the entire argument loses its focus when you start sperging about characters like Princess Peach or muh violence in vidya. It's clear that she had no first hand experience with video games or being a part of the community and was more intersted in monetizing the harassment she got (and encouraged with purposefully provocative tweets) than making a real change in the community. Which is what made me support Gamergate before it became the white supremacist breeding ground it ended up turning into. It's grating because now whenever you bring up sensible critique about how women are portrayed and treated you immediately get branded as some Neo-Sarkeesian SJW causing the entire debate to take three steps back again.

Up until then everybody who actually talked to me about video games online and IRL was other girls.
To this day I don't consider normalfriend games (FPS, sports, MOBAs) to be real games. Fake gamer girls? Try fake gamer BOYS.

>>2431Thank you! I remember years back ranting at someone how there was this shift occurring and no matter what you said someone would be trying to revise shit against you. I know I was a kid when I started browsing so I didn't understand how heavy some references were, but you knew people meant things in jest and when they didn't. There was pride in having "fujoshi" instead of "rabid yaoi fangirls", image boards assumed they were more sophisticated internet users who knew their specialist subjects, instead of witch hunting themselves to death. The people now who insist on being offensive seemingly for the sake of it feel to me like children with a case of "you're not my mom, you can't tell me what to do!"
I open an anime board to discuss anime, not imaginary bogeymen on some other site or whatever the hell they've decided woman psychology demands this week. I used to be part of various raid boards back on 420chan and the
old 8chan, and even those had more humour and sense than the vitriol people spend so much energy on today. I get plenty of kicks out of watching people seriously try to sus out how women think, but it hurts knowing 10 years ago they'd have rightfully been a laughing stock, instead of commended and "based" for spouting contradictory conspiracy theories. But no, do tell me how this week women are base animals who can't grasp emotional bonds like men, when last week women could only touch themselves to emotional drama for pansies. It really complements my manga about office workers. :^)

>>3082I'm in pretty much the same boat as
>>3083 , busy with work, studying, and other
super awesome and fun adult stuff. Doing my best to squeeze in room for my hobbies but it is difficult. Things will definitely cool down once the new year comes around, though.
I miss talking to all of you so much ;__;

In my case I was busy with work and always tired and seeing my friends irl so that left me no time to come here. Now I'm on sick leave for one more week after getting surgery in Wednesday (which went well) so I'm using that free time to get some rest at home, be online a bit more until I can go outside again soon, and play vidya. But there's barely anyone here, I just posted about SMT5 a few days ago and that's it, nobody replied yet but I'm patient. I'm looking for more fujo art of the characters too, I'm that bored, so I'll post more if I save more pics.

>>3085Thats the case for me too, I mostly just lurk now on my lunch break at work then get back home for the never ending mountain of house chores, friends always leave my house without cleaning too so I'm not inviting them over as much. I'm waiting for the weekends mostly to start posting again but I was forced to work the last weekend so I've been away for a while. Hope you're recovering well from your surgery nonnie, get well soon!

>>3085Happy to hear your surgery went well, feel better soon! I've actually been meaning to get into SMT as one of my friends is fucking obsessed with it
and the smt5 protag is a cutie, but I don't have much free time nowadays… it will happen sometime though.

>>3082I'm dealing with an overload of end of term assignments and procrastinating like a motherfucker on typesetting the SFX in a (non-BL) manga. I keep zoning out for hours as a shitty coping mechanism fml.

>>3082Just too stressed and depressed, real life eats up all my drive and motivation, everything feels pointless.

>>3086>I mostly just lurk now on my lunch break at workI don't do that on fujochan, but on lc. I'm too worried someone will see weird shit on my phone here and one of my coworkers is a fujo or at the very least know some BL manga and anime by name, I don't want to get in trouble or whatever.
>Hope you're recovering well from your surgery nonnie, get well soon!Thanks a lot, I'm doing better everyday so I'd say I'm doing good so far.
>>3088I love Megaten as a whole, I'd say you can play SMT5 as your first game without any issue. The only thing you'd miss out are the very vague hints that it's a sequel of SMT3, which is not necessary at all to enjoy it. You can also start with SMT4 on the 3DS which was my first mainline game, or SMT3 if you don't mind random encounters. As for SMT4 Apocalypse, it's one of the best game in the series if not the best gameplay wise, but it's a direct sequel to SMT4 in terms of story so I absolutely recommend it but not for now. Then there are a bunch of spinoffs like Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Survivor, etc.

>>3105I assume it's not likely to be the case for me because it's all in English and I'm not in an English speaking country. I'm careful around my coworkers though. I even check cwc on my phone when commuting if I'm bored.
