- (11:18:38) +AoC: [10:59:04] errorname457 RapeApe I'm going to delete Kotaku threads
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [10:59:08] your thoughts?
- (11:18:38) Alkaid: [10:59:46] Kotaku...like threads that just link to Kotaku or like ones that promote the site?
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:00:28] no, the ones that are just a template and fill in your own feminist propaganda text to troll the board
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:01:06] https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177623319
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:02:18] My reasoning is simple and has the precedent that we already delete for feminist shitstorm threads since they ceased being about videogames long ago
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:02:44] and kotaku itself is barely a vidya site these days
- (11:18:38) Alkaid: [11:04:17] Ah, quite true. I might have a similiar situation on /m/ with the new Super Sentai series having only 1 female member and that tended to explode as of late.
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:05:34] lmao i love this kotaku shit
- [...]
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:06:54] no input, I'll just kill everything for now
- (11:18:38) %RapeApe: [11:07:43] AoC, leave them alone for now
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:07:54] aw come on
- (11:18:38) %RapeApe: [11:08:22] the ones i saw earlier were photoshops, which seemed like users just having fun
- (11:18:38) %RapeApe: [11:08:27] which is the purpose of 4chan
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:08:27] why do we have to ignore threads with 500 replies consistently about how women are evil?
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:09:07] I agree that's the main goal but there are limits and I say the line lies where every single shoop is not even videogame related
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:09:32] is this a personal crusade against fun or?
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:09:56] the one i'm looking at has an animal crossing one in the 2nd picture
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:10:08] and kotaku is a gaming site with a section for editorials about women
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:10:47] idk; i'm new here, but i think we just need to chill brah
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:11:34] isn't the WORD "kotaku" a banned word on /v/?
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:12:39] doubt it, since people are using it
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:15:21] no they're not
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:15:27] If the next thread ends up exactly like this one
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:15:30] >Letaku
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:15:33] https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177623319
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:15:39] >Ko-taku
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:15:42] i see at least one kotaku url here
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:15:44] >Shitaku
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:15:52] >kataku
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:15:57] that is, discussing only racism, why submissive foreign wives are best and misogyny I say nuts to all this
- [...]
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:16:15] why would a major gaming blog be banned from /v/ anyway
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:16:30] >gaming blog
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:16:38] well what would you call it
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:16:49] last i checked it was about 5 people blogging about games
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:16:57] it's like the /b/ of video games
- (11:18:38) +Anikitan: [11:17:02] blogs
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:17:20] it's just a Gawker group blog
- (11:18:38) +Deckenkatze: [11:17:23] i don't think it's any more deserving of a ban than gamasutra, joystiq, et al
- (11:18:38) %RapeApe: [11:17:25] Alkaid, can you give me the full link to that post?
- [...]
- (11:18:38) %RapeApe: [11:17:45] just makes it quicker for me
- (11:18:38) +AoC: [11:17:48] they pay based on page views, so anything that is controversial is gold for them
- [...]
- (14:21:43) +errorname457: Back. AoC, I would agree that kotaku threads should be removed if they are just femenist shit.
- [...]
- (14:22:42) +errorname457: You wouldn't see a thread on /a/ from ANN about "why aren't there more females in animu," I don't see why we should suffer them either.
- [...]
- (14:23:30) +andonuts: Really any Kotaku thread on /v/ is terrible. The only ones to even consider leaving up are the edited stories threads, which are sometimes fun.
- (14:23:46) +errorname457: those are fun
- (14:24:16) +errorname457: Context is 9/10ths of everything I think, and proper satire should be encouraged
- (14:24:32) +AoC: oh lol, those are exactly the ones that I'm considering for deletion right now since they've been nothing but more feminism on top of everything
- [...]
- (14:24:50) +errorname457: Like there was one edit, "why were there no females in the opening of Band of Brothers," good stuff
- (14:24:55) +AoC: last thread turned into "why don't you have a submissive foreign wife"
- (14:26:03) +errorname457: Those can be quite bad
- [...]
- (14:26:45) +AoC: anyway, since it seems like I'm just being no fun allowed, I'll just keep a close monitor on them and keep the content while deleting the off-topic discussion that doesn't add to the thread
- [...]
- (18:50:54) +Anikitan: http://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177696865 dear /v/ janitors, it's happening again
- (18:51:38) +Deckenkatze: but i love these threads
- (18:51:45) +MDN: Holy fucking lol
- (18:52:12) +Anikitan: http://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177696839
- (18:52:14) +AoC: I thought we agreed on trying to keep them around and doing the extra effort of deleting the text-only feminism posts
- (18:52:30) +Cadfael: https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177696683
- (18:52:43) +andonuts: There's nothing wrong with the OC edits of Kotaku articles.
- (18:52:54) +Cadfael: https://images.4chan.org/v/src/1361584135678.png
- (18:52:55) +MDN: Keep them in one thread, though
- (18:53:11) +Kazisho: But they are off-topic.
- (18:53:12) +Deckenkatze: yeah rapeape had said they were just people having fun and there's no reason to DFE
- (18:53:39) +Kazisho: I didn't delete that thread, though.
- (18:54:18) +Deckenkatze: also how are they off-topic? they're based on a real post on kotaku and never mind i don't care
- (18:54:30) +AoC: >careful feminazi janitor deleting
- (18:54:32) +AoC: augh
- (18:54:45) +Deckenkatze: tbh that's the impression i'd get too
- (18:55:41) +Kazisho: >they're based on a real post on kotaku
- (18:55:43) +AoC: yeah, things are always muddled in the ground due to invisible black box moderation
- (18:55:45) +Kazisho: What game is that.
- (18:56:07) +Kazisho: It's not even "secondary vidya".
- (18:56:08) +Deckenkatze: they're a response to the author's article about the ps4 launch having no women on stage
- (18:56:22) +AoC: >faggot feminazi mod cunt
- (18:56:23) +MDN: WAT Deckenkatze
- (18:56:26) +MDN: Really?
- (18:56:28) +Deckenkatze: yes
- (18:56:34) +MDN: By that Pat cunt?
- (18:56:35) +AoC: yeah, I really don't feel like defending these bastards but a job is a job
- (18:56:41) +AoC: Lawful Neutral, yay
- (18:56:46) +Deckenkatze: http://kotaku.com/5986025/the-lack-of-women-presenters-at-the-ps4-event-is-bigger-than-sony
- (18:57:00) +Deckenkatze: http://kotaku.com/5985822/why-were-there-no-women-presenters-at-the-playstation-4-event
- (18:57:15) +MDN: I just don't even
- (18:57:24) +Deckenkatze: that's why it's funny
- (18:57:30) +Deckenkatze: a humor-joke if you will
- (18:57:40) +AoC: for the ;ast time, this is Kotaku's MO for the past 6 months
- (18:57:52) +AoC: get Patricia to troll gamers, collect pageviews
- (18:57:53) +MDN: I'm glad the AU Kotaku only gets one or two of her articles.
- (18:57:54) +AoC: PROFIT
- (18:58:04) +Deckenkatze: and /v/ makes fun of her for it
- (18:58:09) +Deckenkatze: i don't see the issue
- (18:58:41) +AoC: they lost feminism discussion rights somewhere along Anitagate

- (19:03:21) +Anikitan: literally kill me now

- (19:40:06) +errorname457: hmm
- (19:40:22) +errorname457: AoC
- (19:40:48) +AoC: ?
- (19:41:11) +errorname457: Do you want me to watch these spoofed kotaku threads for a bit?
- [...]
- (19:42:01) +AoC: no real need to at the moment, the spammers are focused on the /q/ threads now
- (19:42:19) +AoC: post rate slowed, but there's less shit this time around
- (19:42:33) +errorname457: Alright

- (19:51:27) +duanemoody: nigga, that's my preferred method
- (19:51:32) +duanemoody: but who else knows
- (19:51:37) +AoC: that's actually better. Good show
- (19:51:48) +duanemoody: https://images.4chan.org/v/src/1361584788372.jpg
- (19:51:52) +AoC: but they keep passing around a psd template and that's how most are being made right now

- (20:30:50) +AoC: errorname457 tag me
- (20:30:58) +errorname457: eh
- (20:31:01) +errorname457: ?
- (20:31:27) +AoC: like in tag wrestling. I have now slapped your hand
- (20:31:32) +errorname457: ah
- (20:31:41) +errorname457: My turn to watch them now eh
- (20:32:14) +AoC: yeah, I need to eat something
- (20:32:39) +errorname457: sure
- (20:34:30) +errorname457: So far they're pretty quiet, I'm going to let 'em roll
- (20:34:43) +errorname457: RapeApe, are you there
- [...]
- (20:40:02) %RapeApe: errorname457, i am now
- (20:40:10) +errorname457: There you are
- (20:40:47) +Azatsu: you did
- (20:40:49) +Azatsu: ?
- (20:40:52) +Azatsu: oh I see
- (20:42:07) +errorname457: https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177707703 I agree that the stance on these kinds of threads is that we should let them run so long as they're creating content, but I do worry about them. At some point, they will likely become entirely about the kotaku writer, femenism, and all that assorted garbage that rolled out with Anita
- (20:42:35) +errorname457: Its a touchy issue.
- (20:44:07) +errorname457: What are your thoughts?
- (20:46:49) %RapeApe: i think that the OC, the number of threads & reposts in such a short period of time, and the anger posted on /q/ is evidence that the /v/ community wants these threads to stay. moreover, some of the stuff is funny.
- (20:47:25) %RapeApe: we can stop individuals relatively easy. we have no power to stop a large group.
- (20:47:39) +MDN: Let them do it, then in a while they will complain that Reddit caught onto it and wish for the old days again and stop doing it.
- (20:47:44) +MDN: Or do it ironically
- (20:48:47) +errorname457: So let it ride out then
- (20:48:52) +AoC: The /q/ outrage wasn't over getting rid of the threads, but protecting them
- (20:49:23) +errorname457: How to deal then with the meta inside the threads
- (20:49:38) %RapeApe: i know, AoC. you did a good job.
- (20:50:04) %RapeApe: but whatever we do, we're going to piss people off.
- (20:50:21) +errorname457: https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/177707703#p177710782 For example, regardless of intent, this shit should not be permitted on /v/, it has gone on long enough
- (20:50:42) +errorname457: He may ultimately be right, but that is not an excuse for such shit.
- (20:50:44) +Sange: I always BR those
- (20:50:56) +Sange: for global 6
- (20:51:09) +AoC: same here
- (20:51:20) +errorname457: My point is, touchy as the subject is, I don't think we should be exempt from going into them and removing shit like that.
- (20:51:40) +errorname457: And I want to be sure this won't blow up in my face if I have to get rid of a few of them and I get called a nazimod on /q/
