It's no secret that the state of online discourse has completely deteriorated over the past two (or even three) decades...

Then they've succeeded.

No they haven't Chaim. There's been an enormous backlash against (((them))) this year in the form of games like Persona 5 not giving a fuck about their sensibilities. Also, P5 has the bonus of you first fighting Moloch, and last fighting the demiurge.

You call a single game an enormous backlash? Normies won't change overnight. Censorship is the norm because normies and people in general will always try to turn everything they dislike into that thing they like. Everything has to be X. Everything has to be the same. They're just taking advantage of what humans do naturally.

Why is it a surprise?

I said games like P5, you stupid shit. Japan also released Nier and Xenoblade 2, and the (((feminists))) can't stop losing their collective shit over it. You're either a kike, or a complete fucking moron.

It's specifically targetting (((their))) main two objects of worship. It's literally Japan's middle finger to (((them))).

Unless they keep it up in the next installment I'd be willing to bet it was just a coincidence. Moloch and Demiurge have been villains in the series before but afaik never actually important to the plot outside of Demi being the last minute asspull true final boss.

Games like that have always been released.

The main villain in the SMT games has always been the Jewish god. Fucking casuals.

...

Mostly from Japan. (((They're))) doing everything they can to marginalize the Japanese market, and prop up multiplayer American trash that's full of pozz.

How is that a bad thing? The more marginalized gaming is the better things are. Normalfags fuck off to the next shiny thing the Jew has prepared for them and leftists find a more popular avenue for their propaganda attempts.

Exactly. If there's no change in the west then we've made no progress at all.

You're thinking from the perspective of being an image board regular. Normalfags need to be woken up if we ever want to throw off (((their))) shackles&shekels.

I literally have no idea what you're trying to impress upon me.

are you a joke? are you joking?
japan is fucking dying in both population and economy and degeneracy is litered all over tha place (just look at all of their h-shit and ecchi, it ruining their people, but youre probably too sucked up in it to realise that how bad it is) you have to be fucking retard to think that japan last bastion of good video game practise. the only reason japanese games are not as shit as the west is because jews dont look like asians, so they are forced to use japanese middlemen who then work as a filter to make game less shitty

That nothing happened. There is no enormous backlash. Nothing has changed at all.

Move along, Shlomo.

You're just being a blackpilling kike.

A couple good games from nip nong is a common occurrence. It happens every single year. I just don't want you to get your hopes up over the recurring norm.

(((We))) (((need))) (((to))) (((gas))) (((every))) (((kike))) (((and))) (((everything))) (((will))) (((be))) (((perfect)))

Stop absuing echoes (((you))) fucking retard

I know, OP. I know.

Also, this is now a dubs thread.

I know a few people who know about image boards, and are kind of curious about joining them because they want the dank memes, but are too scared to visit because they assume the boards are full of child porn and being put on an FBI watchlist.

I mean, that's literally anyone's reaction to imageboards at first. You just have to swallow your fear.

Remember to filter out these idiots.

If I were to point to a cause of why this board went to shit is probably due to its sustained popularity.
Honestly at this point I'd rather turn this place in to a gated community. Atleast for long enough so that these retards would get bored/go somewhere else/get removed.
Right now I'm in a Discord with currently ~30 oldfags and it's been a safe haven from this joke of a board. It's sad to see how things changed from the first September to now.

Shitposting has been a thing since Usenet/irc days, user.

Who do you think you're dealing with?

...

Not mine, but then I've been lurking weird image sites on the internet since the early days of Gore Gallery in the late-90's and ConsumptionJunction in the mid aughts. It was just a natural evolution of that, plus discussion forums and anime.

Stay there and don't come back.

As you said, this is a problem with accessibility, but it arose during the 1990's, due to the decrease in cost of the Internet (remember all those AOL disks). Even in the 1990's, every man, woman and self-absorbed teenager could spread their shit all over the Internet. Most didn't, because they were afraid of Internet boogeymen, which is the only thing keeping normalfags away from "muh spooky deep webnets," The level of discourse has largely fallen not only because it's easier to access the Internet and websites, but because the quality of discourse has fallen overall. There's no closing these floodgates (without a massive social paradigm shift) so we'll remain a stark minority. My personal opinion is that's because people have become so involved in the Internet that they now think of it as their second life, where they actively long for government and corporate fuckery and fear autonomy, anonymity and independence.

...

...

So you've come to terms that you're on a watchlist? :^)

The Spanish Inquisition?

If I am, they haven't done fuck-all about this far. Another decade or so, and getting put away could be considered a retirement plan.

When we meet each other in the cell, I will tell you you're a big guy.

And I'll shank you for being a memeing cocksucker.

Come on, user. You can't be serious right now. We live in a world where cartoon frogs are publicly denounced by the media and presidential candidates alike. Of course we're on a fucking watch list.

I was more scared of screamers, personally.

You're a fucking moron. That's exactly what my post was inferring.

Great conversation piece anons.

You pretty much hit the nail on its head. The reason why this thread exists is because the pure amount of tainted shit has hit critical mass and is pouring over in to here.

So what do you propose as a secret handshake?

Correct, if you popped the mod dick out of your mouth for a second and tried some other boards you might notice it.

Your flag makes it too obvious. Nice file name too >>>/tumblr/

Ah, a man of culture.

Add in StileProject and you complete the degenerate trifecta.

No, user, you're just a shit writer who has to rely on memes and sarcasm to convey a point. Stop inferring and using emoticons like a woman.

I only used the jew emoticon to reflect the fact that they certainly are onto us. You're just too fucking stupid to understand a halfchan level troll post. Kill yourself.

You only used the Jew emoticon because you have no other way to express yourself. You've become what you hate. Kill yourself.

No, I can also use (((echoes))). Guess you're going to attack that next, right? A built-in function to name jews—you're going to call that a meme too, right? Put the shotgun in your mouth.

You're just showing the degraded level of intercourse this entire thread exists to discuss. It's frankly embarrassing.

Haven't you gotten the memo? All threads, especially ones like these, are supposed to be the quality of canned cheeseburgers.

Just shut the fuck up, kike. All you can do is spit at the goyim no matter what they do.

What was the Spanish Inquisition's purpose? What were its mechanics? When were Royal Decrees made? What did they do and what groups did they target? What is a Converso? Which notable Converso is associated with significant historical acts closely timed to one of these Royal Decrees?

So many coincidences :^)

Is this quality enough for you?

I want Holla Forums to go back to the way it was before election season 2016.

Too bad, bitch. Holla Forums has quite literally taken over the entire internet. You still have time to suck a shotgun.

Can it at least not be crawling with faggots like you?
You're as condescending as the sjws.

Guess that's why you're losing, Chaim.

Every time I see someone that retarded rambling on, disrupting conversation and spouting "nigger," "kike" or "degenerate," I always feel like it's Holla Forums pulling a false flag. I know there are people on nu/pol/ who are genuinely that autistic, but it just reeks of someone erecting a strawman to me.

I hate to say it, but I wish we were a bit more like /a/.
I mean, pretty much everyone there is waifufag with shit taste who will defend any series with a pretty girl in it, but at least they are all on topic and you can have a real discussion there without retards derailing with tired memes, spam and shitposting.
I mean, you get auto banned for "smh, tbh, kek, fam" and other such garbage. Some may get their panties in a wad over it but it really does help the quality of discussion overall.

You are a fine example of the cancer killing this board.
Not because you browse Holla Forums like all the kool kids in the kool kids klub, but because you have that condescending "lol i'm always right and everyone who has anything bad to say about me is wrong and stupid" attitude that is the entire reason discussion on the modern internet is impossible.

(Checked)
I wholefully agree.

so why not just cut out the middle(((mann))) and just go to >>>/a/ ?

Because I want to talk about video games and a side effect of them being on topic means I can not do that there? You're smarter than this, user.

Too bad. The bots, the memer beaners, and underaged edgelords are here to stay, and will continue to spout dead memes, especially when you have literal Reddit T_D mongoloids running Holla Forums, who somehow failed imageboards 101 by not reading every post as sarcasm and irony.

Polite sage because all of this shit is off-topic as fuck.

...

Wanting stricter moderation is a double edged sword. I don't want this place to become rulecuck central, but at the same time it would be nice if aggressive shitposters who were obviously trying to derail a thread got banned.

I don't like Overwatch in fact, the few times i've played it have made me hate it. but I thought what happened to their threads was pretty fucked up. The vols should have stepped in to curb dedicated shitposters like the ones that targeted those threads.
Today it's a thread for a game you don't care about, but tomorrow it could very well be a thread for your favorite game that gets shitposted to death.

Curse thy Turk. The Semites are at fault for this.

There is no solution. Once something is globalized you need to deal with every flavor of retard on the face of the planet.
Play with friends. If someone annoys you just leave whatever group you're in. Your remaining in a given group is entirely based on how much bullshit you're willing to put up with I suppose. Unless you enjoy feeling uncomfortable, then stay. I don't know. I'm not you.

I see what you mean right here:

Is codebaboon messing with the code again? Images and webms take forever to load

Nice dubs, but the same can be said of self-moderation.
Sure, a thread for a game you like may be shitposted, but at least you can get your talk in before the shitposters catch on, and shitposting a thread to death is significantly harder than moderating a thread to death, especially if there's mods who will delete/ban truly flagrant shitposting such as the brownpill pasta or ==FUCK OFF TUMBLRTALE==

The better solution is to not pay attention to these shitposters at all. Unfortunately too many anons are giving these shitposters (you)s.

Ignore the kikes and do what is the right solution: kill jews.
Those retards in the Op's example are just tools of the jews.
Kill the jews, and we can fix everything after that.
Yes. The Jews. "Da jooos!"
Yes. Kill the jews.

*ignore the kikes' derailing the thread

Ebin meme, friend.
Upvoted, favorited, and gifted reddit gold.

This is bait,or a particular kind of retard, when shit gets too bad oldfags will do another exodus to any of the bunkers that currently exist to escape faggots like you that have no idea where they are

That's not true at all. I've seen shitposters completely derail a thread within the first 20 posts or less. Self-moderation is good in theory, but in practice it falls apart. Sure, you can ignore a shitposter and try to get on with the discussion, but you can't stop 3 other retards from taking the bait and fucking up the thread.

Regardless, you shouldn't have to hope and pray that a thread you like doesn't get shitposted to death, the mods should do their fucking jobs and put a stop to it.

Why did you give him a (You)? He's probably tweaking his nips because you didn't read his le ebin xDDDDd trickster filename

It wasn't accessibility, user, pimball games and early console games were even more accessible to normies in the 70's than today.

The moment of change was the Obama election, the game changer in his campaign against Hillary was his internet propaganda, young people falling for that BS and influencing their parents, before that internet was seen as just a facilitator for geek hobbies, business or news, not a meeting place for millions because people didn't mix, they were in their own universes, each in their own site, until google and facebook changed that.

Socialists in the 00's were still focusing on academic grounds to influence people, their strategy since the 70's, creating BS courses and crazy studies to expand their influence sphere, but when they saw Obama's victory, the internet campaign, they knew internet was the place to take the war to. It took them some time to figure out the internet but eventually they found that games were an important pillar of the internet culture and therefore they had to infiltrate it, this is what it's going on.

(((Socialists))) are the real evil of this world, their demonic cult of obsession for power and control is the real menace to the future, not normies.

Normies are as much victims as we are, waiting to be woken up, subliminally aware but still too confused to connect the dots, they just need a herder.

Ironic negro speak has always been a somewhat tight culture trait on Holla Forums though. What's up with it?

The problem with using IRC over discord, when it pertains to oldfags, is that oldfags don't exclusively associate with other oldfags. Besides, they definitely don't use it like an imageboard - it's just not the same thing. It's only useful for talking with friends, not real discourse with a wide variety of opinions. A fair bit of oldfags are hanging around here, or even 4chan. But most just left, really. They're oldfags for a reason. They have actual jobs now.

Oh, youngfag. If you only knew how bad it really gets.

Stop lying to me, you son of a bitch! I've been here since the exodus and I was browsing 4chan back in 2005. I've tried leaving, but I've learned that I'm only escaping in a body bag and so is every other oldfag.

I'm an oldfag too, friend, I just assumed everyone up and left since it's so shitty nowadays. And since there's no one here anymore. Pretty sure I'm right though. Most oldfags managed to get actual lives. I think neets like me will be here forever though - I certainly haven't been able to leave yet.

When will mods ban these pesky "video game" related threads?

There's really no room for opinion in a lot of matters, yet they pretend there is.

A lot did. The rest of us are just Christmas cakes where college has been replaced by work. Same general schedule for prime shitposting times.

Shit goes in the garbage, quality is held on high. There is nothing not apparent about who is holding up a fat fresh donker.

Did you look at the replies? Every time I've seen a GAMEFAQs thread when looking up something in a general search the community there isn't the type to go for this kind of cultmarx faggotry.

>hurr not the jews goy y-you're stupid also I use (((discord)))

Kill yourself.

I'm not sure why you're saging. There is no going back.

>I was really young too, but never posted.

well,hello there fellow old fags i am an old fag too
i hates them homos too wink,wink nudge,nudge where are them vidya at?

That's usually how it goes. Most people don't post for the first good bit, if they're smart. I came in around 2007-2008 or so, but probably didn't make my first post until 2010.

it really makes my almonds go for a jog

i found 4chan on my own I was extremely young compared to everyone posting. Though they helped me form opinions on a lot of things.

password protected onion links are the solution

Not me! I fell for the NEET meme and became a hikki.

Haven't you realized that Holla Forums has… no games? Oh, we do have fun here.

haha. Fuck off dubsman Holla Forums never hated video games. You stupid cunt., they never ever did and you're full of shit.

Does it not realize the DSM turned down the redefinition to exclude disorder from identifying as another gender?
Or that medically this shit isn't even recognized because the social sciences STILL can't get any but that failure hack's Dr. Money's paper on it.
Seriously, dysphoria as a hard category at least predicates the medical issue of hormonal deficiencies causing dysphoria.

...

And even given that any type of rewriting would only be in a novelty sense considering all the sourced and written out documentation would still claim regardless and they'd essentially ignore the novelty definition in favor of actual medical science.

...

I swear to god if you're a mod being a complete faggot to try and bait people into bans, I will destroy all the cake in new york.

More like since man invented writing

Great job OP, you found 'em all. Imagine if it were this simple in real life.

There is no barrier to entry. Once the Internet became so accessible that even women could comfortably use it (around 2008), it went to shit. That being said, this place is what you seek. You want a more niche place than this, then there will be almost no traffic.

Still better than seeing unrelated racist and homophobic comments in vidya threads. Holla Forums is worse than normalfags.

Normal individuals have been a commanstay since newsgroups and IRC. It's a flat circle. Bad fellows finding worst fellows. It ain't changed, and some of you are just getting older.

...

There ain't no goddamn quality of live above what you have seen. What you did see, you hold onto it and never let it go, even as I'm operating on you, to see if there is something that makes you tick and worthwhile here or anywhere.

Not playing this game today. You're the same shitheel that thinks Holla Forums hate video games. You don't exist, that's all you are and ever were.

Now, this is an impressive level of baiting!

That shadow doesn't know what it is if you told it to look inside.

Couldn't be more obvious, but still worth pointing out.

dont invite normalfags and dont invite people who are going to invite normalfags.

It's not about individuals that show up fresh here, it's about the animals that know exactly where they are.

And how was that combated from the get all here? Telling them acting retarded is still retarded. But, this was never their land even in the eternal gyre of their beings. That rocks that they crash against forever, are those with a home forever. The internet may shift, but…

It's been happening to them over and over again even before the internet. Crashing against it with different yet similar sounds every age. It doesn't matter who you tell not to breed or kill themselves, they are the perpetual wailing sounds against whatever this is, whatever you are, whatever I am, presently.

i said normalfags, not newfags.

Tired of your shit.

Before time itself, they were what they are, falling forever through the void, probably older than us, they will just never be made up of the same material. Forever. Nothing changes.

It's all going to happen all over again. Right here, where I never left. Where I always was.

im tired of shitting

Yep, same went for me as well.

Yeah, we should have great mods like /a/'s who ban

STFU faggot.

Glad we're all in agreement.

I'm going to post sources and you can't stop me

don't be that guy. There might have been some people leaving comments on geoshitties sites in 1996, newsgroup discussion and some bbs chatter every 3 hours but it's more or less 2 decades of shitposting.

i like posting sources because sharing feels nice.
shame i dont know shit
