Is any serious waifuist here ? By thsi i mean someone on a monogamous commited relationship with their waifu who they genuinely love, anyways i just want to talk with other fellow waifuists (or not waifuists who find it interesting) even more since it would be funny to find one here.
>>31
Sorry for the late answer anon, I've been quite occupied lately.
Now into your questions:
What do waifuists think of lolicons?
It depends a lot, most old waifuists come from image boards and such most of them have no hate for lolicons, some of them are lolicons too. Now when we get to newer waifuists most of them are liberal kiddos from reddit so most of them despise lolicons and consider them equal to irl pedophiles.
Is it controversial?
Pretty much the same answer as the first question, there is no real concensus about it, on some communities it's extremely controversial while on others it's not seen as a problem.
Are there lolis as waifus or is this not allowed?
>>32
Who is your waifu and how long are you together?
What are good waifuists communities?
>>33
My waifu it's Hatsune Miku, we've been together for a year and some months, but I've been loving her since around 7 years ago, I barely managed to properly start waifuism recently.
It depends on what you want, i would recommend some of the 4chan generals (/r9k/ and the /c/ one), tohno chan it's a good place but really dead, the /Mai/ board of the new 8chan it's good (by new I mean the .moe one), outside of that you could consider joining one of the plethora of discords that exist about waifuism (most are splinters of other waifuists communities, usually the subreddit).
>>34
Do you have a doll or a plushie? Do you listen to songs or draw her? Does it bother you that a character that’s so popular probably has dozens of waifuists in a relationship with her?
>4chan generals
Umm yeah I’ll pass
Do you have a doll or a plushie?
I don't but it's mostly due to both living with other people and having difficulty actually getting one, rather than because I don't want to own one, it's on my list of things to do in the future.
Do you listen to songs or draw her?
Listening, despite being into it for some time I never got good at drawing so I can't even do something barely decent, regardless songs have always been my main focus and even the reason I got to know of her so they hold the most importance to me.
Does it bother you that a character that’s so popular probably has dozens of waifuists in a relationship with her?
Somewhat ? There is a sort of belief or just idea in waifuism called "Object oriented waifuism", this is most probably based on Objected oriented programming (The idea was or seems to be initially propagated trough a famous meme that says "explaining Object oriented programming with anime waifus" Wich got adopted by actual waifuists), to easily explain this when someone says "object oriented waifuism" they refer to the idea or belief that each waifu it's unique to the waifuist even if the character has multiple waifuists, in a way your waifu (or more accurately your interpretation of her) is a "copy" of the character Wich exists solely to you and in your head, it's something like this.
No offense but I've never understood the appeal of Hatsune Miku
>>37
No problem, I take no offense, a lot of people both in 2007 and since then just don't get why people even like vocaloid/synths, when it comes to the voices themselves some can't even stomach them, in general it's quite hit or miss.
Personally I always liked electronic music so I liked vocaloid the second I listened to it, and proceeded to instantly fall in love with Miku lmao.
So is this the mental illness thread or is this some sort of meta ironic humor?
What does the average date with a waifu look like? You take your plushie to a cafe and pretend to do date stuff?
>>40
Hahahha this is another one of the "it depends" question, even if you have dates depends a lot on the waifuist, some dont really find the more "roleplay'ish" aspects of waifuism required (wich is totally understandable and doesnt mean that you love less or more your waifu), and therefore they dont do things like "dates", some have them completely on their imagination and some like actually doing or rather simulating a date in real life, you usually just do what you would on a normal date and most talk troughtout the date with their waifu (on their mind as expected).
You can take a plushie if you want but many either dont bring anything or do it on a inconspicuous way (like a photo of her in a phone/tablet or on their wallet.
Most waifuists dont really want to bring attention to themselves due to how badly seen waifuism is (not like most people even know what waifuism is, but saying that you honest to God love a fictional girl will make most think you are insane).
I wonder if I should try using that site to help me learn Nihongo
I think it's important to learn slang but not as a starting point in learning a language. You should also at least know the meaning of the words before usage.
>>7
How the hell do you invoke Godwin's Law without the argument even starting?
Probably not. You probably want to learn the language in its legitimate use before its slang-informal use.
どうでも出来ないわ。日本語はおそらく時間かかて最後でやめる
lernu esperanton, gejaĉo
Esperanto is a false prophet.
If you're going to learn an international language, it must be Volapuk.
I can't think of a worse place to learn a language than a slang-heavy website that's mostly text with very little context to help you figure out words you're unfamiliar with.
2chan is about as dead as 4chan. The nijiura boards are just 2D porn dump threads with a lot of posters just submitting images with no text. Some of the more discussion orientated boards are about as active as a small altchan. Other than whatever it is otakus are tapping too, you won’t learn anything from that site.
>>24
But 4chan isn't dead. It's the most popular imageboard and most active.
Futaba has never been a chatty site. The whole purpose of an imageboard in Japanese net culture was to share high quality images. Serious talk was for discussion boards, which in English we call textboards. Hence the many posts that are just images with no text. It’s always been that way. Futaba is less active today than it’s heyday and most of the users are old anyway. That’s because Twitter and other American platforms have successfully colonized the Japanese internet and neither Futaba nor 2channel/5channel can compete.
>>25
4chan is a zombie site. It’s very active, but high quantity is combined with extremely low quality. The majority of threads on most boards are one or two line bait posts designed to provoke an argument. There’s a surplus of useless generals so fast they are basically chatrooms. The place is crawling with lame Twitter memes, reposting of the same old templates and is filled with deranged right wingers and actual normalfags. It’s becoming less and less of a Futaba clone dedicated to otaku culture and just unfiltered Twitter/Reddit dedicated to racism and culture wars bullshit. You’ll get called a tranny for posting anime or using Linux. In that sense, it’s a spiritually dead site.
When was the last time you used a search engine to find anything worthwhile? Even on a conceptual level they are a bad way to navigate the web and virtually every result page these days is muddled by algorithims built around marketing and spam. Search engines remove the interactive and community based nature of the internet. Remember when the only way to find sites was through word of mouth or spending hours procrastinating clicking on link after link? Today the average search result brings up a bunch of shit op eds and news articles sponsered by a company or just recyled press releases and reddit posts and its all set to get worse AI bullshit.
>everyone should use Linux
>correct wey to use Linux is no gui, terminal for everything, browse web, mail and fap to loli porn with command line
Never before have I seen people whose enthusiasm for their cause is matched only by their extreme elitism and gatekeeping. What do you Loonix morons want? Do you want Linux to be popular or do you want it to be something only basement dwelling neckbeards use? You can’t have it both ways.
Just use kde or xfce. Avoid gnome, it sucks.
Agreed. A computer desktop should not look like a smartphone. Gnome is vomit inducing.
You watched one Luke Smith video and think you know everything... Many such cases.
Why does anyone need a search engine? Corporate algorithms shove more content up people’s anuses than torturers at Guantanamo. I bet with ChatGPT integration many people will stop using search engines altogether and spend their lives asking questions to chatbots or consume slop they see on Reddit/Twitter/Facebook and turn into mindless vegetables.
>>62
Whom are you quoting?
Anyway, I use GNOME, Wayland, IntelliJ, Steam, I'm feeling comfy for many years, and I don't give a fuck what Youtube clowns are thinking about that.
Modern web browsers are garbage too
another freefag delusion. this isn't how real life works. people use search engines because they work, otherwise they wouldn't be using it.
i use them but they are noticeably 10x worse than 10 years ago
we are the product now, its just all corporate ad listings.
I mostly use wiby.me these days... but then again, I don't really work or study (´･ω･`)

She appears to be giving a review of 4ct for some...school assignment? But if that was the case why post it publicly?
I like how she calls the threads those little boxes!
Dubs my anus
Nicolette Richelle are you reading this? x3
Is 4ct down now?
I don't care, but I don't mind her sucking my dick.
The idea of someone reviewing 4ct for a school assignment is very funny and weird to me. I'd be surprised if that was what was happening here though it just feels to outlandish even though that does kind of appear to be what she is doing
>>4
It's incredibly interesting to me to see someone trying to figure out a textboard for the very first time presumably without ever even having seen seen an imageboard before. I remember when I first visited 4chan it felt kind of surreal, it was just so different than the any of the other more mainstream websites I used and it took a little while for me to figure out what was even happening on it.
It's from a site called UserTesting. You basically pay for someone to review and provide feedback on a website. Not a school assignment, just some chick making easy money.
I've seen this same thing done with Lainchan and Sushichan.
Well that's hilarious, and yeah its probably for money, its funny regardless lol.
I think I'm in love
"very very, um... diverse topics"
lmao
It will be 4-ch’s 20th birthday soon. Obviously it was 4chan’s birthday and it went. Couple of people cried over Moot being a no show. Nothing else happened. Sadly 4-ch hasn’t outlived that shithole. So what should we get 4-ch? A big cake? Send a probe up to the Moon and put ascii characters on it?
I suggest 4-ch launch a (friendly) raid on world2ch just for old times. Its not like Angeleno has any users on his site anyway. We’ll offload all the “why is this place so dead?” posts onto that site so the why it dead posters can have a home of their own. Maybe invite a few people from /kind/ and eat mooncakes or something.
You had me at mooncakes or something!
I'm shocked that 4-ch is younger than the other 4channel. Functionally we're only as dead as 4chan. This one's a corpse, and that one's a walking corpse.
>>9
A raid sounds funny, and it's not like 4-ch could managed to cause any major damage through a raid, what with its 3 monthly users.
Who’s gonna cut the cake? Is Shii gonna turn up?
And…. nothing happened. Anyway, hard imaging a kareha style site has been up this long.
We could still have a party! Let's never be apart!
I got a cake with drawing of 4-ch in white icing being squirted out of a dick but I ate it all by myself.
>>13
Why shocked? These places being fast paced has always been a fluke. It's a niche nobody else offers. We're probably the same faggots that have always been here with whatever stragglers find their way here.
happy birthday!
Employment is a joke. Low pay, unreasonable hours, tasks that eat into your lunch break, working with assholes who criticize you while doing literally nothing and using company internet to use twitter or whatever the fuck people use these days. Wage work is fucking slavery. Just today my manager gave me a warning for sleeping at my desk during lunch recess. I can do what I like in my 30 minutes fuck off you jew! And holy fuck do they underpay me, all my wage goes into rent. I can't even afford lunch. What's the fucking point? I'd be happier starving all day and killing time watching anime and playing games. What did this job give me? Fucking nothing. Why do undeserving pigs have so much and we so little? The wheel will turn soon enough.
Work is good
Employment is bad
Of course work is a scam look at the cost of a tiny house, 1 million average here in Toronto. Minimum wage like $14 bucks. Average wage is like $25 on the high end. 20% down payment $200,000 who has that? And interest you will be paying over the life of the mortgage is like $800,000 interest is about 180% not 5%.
Its all agenda 21 no house no family no kids depopulation. Vax 5G cancer it all works together to depopulate.
After working at the same company for several months, someone finally asked about my sex life (or lack thereof...)
i quit my job because my boss was promoting people that started after me above me. he did offer me a raise to stay but it was going to be a few bucks less than what the others made and i would have to do most of their work. that was a big fuck you to me. hard work just isn't rewarded in a capitalist system unless of course your working for yourself. but when you work for someone else it's just not. employers reward hard work with more hard work.
>>103
Ahh, the well known way to fuck up as a boss. That stuff just isn't for everyone.
>>103 My boss doesn't do that, if I work harder to get something done for a surprise deadline, I get bonus time off. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I often see people complaining about employment in general when really they were just unlucky not to work somewhere better
Don’t worry ChatGPT will replace us and dysfunctional AI can do your job for you except shittier. All while the rest of us all share a side walk on skid row hoping they’ll finally employ us after the next skyscraper comes down because some genius replaced the architect with a chatbot.
Coops, worker owned companies, or and (some) state governments all provide better conditions. Brother works for the state and gets paid well, gets a pension (that's not underwater), and has good benefits all while doing less work than when he was in the private sector. My roommate works for a coop as a dev and has an excellent work/life balance. Currently what I'm seeking to escape the hellscape that is contracting.
>As if unions actually did anything even when you give them money.
You are aware this year (and to an extent, last year) were hot summers and tons of folks won better pay, right?
What’s the most traumatizing thing you’ve seen on the internet? What are some of your internet horror stories?
When I was like 12 years old, I found an Iraqi beheading video. It really fucked me up. What really messed me up was the way the guy was screaming “I don’t wanna die.” I felt sick for days. Unfortunately, I’m pretty desensitized to that stuff now.
There was a time you could find threads full of child porn on /b/ and that wasn’t spam it was put there by the users. Some of them were CP fappers and legit pedos but most of them did it for the lolz. That kind of brain damage there is probably the darkest thing I’ve seen online. Peoples sense of right/wrong being warped to the point you don’t even know if you should take child rape seriously.
i believe you with the for the lulz thing, i remember one thread on /b/ a guy didn't like it so he just spammed it with pictures of an old man raping a real baby so everyone ALT-F4'd the thread. can't imagine it was something he actually liked.
I once saw a video of a girl being raped. It didn't feel staged and it looked like she was really struggling and crying.
I came away from the mr hands video thinking horsefuckers actually existed and it was as common as being gay or something.
That one fat atheist shoving a banana up his asshole. In and of itself that isn’t the worst thing I’ve seen. The worst thing was watching a midwit Reddit atheist try and justify it and explain why it made him better than all Christians.
Naked pictures of my sister. Well, it wasn't really that bad, just really weird.
I think reading Nana's Everyday Life as a kid traumatized me. It was posted often on 4chan's /b/ back then. Or maybe it was Wakachan...
saw a video of a guy littering. made me sick to my stomach

Hear me out a second, it's really related to what you're all discussing. I went to Greggs the other day, you know Greggs? But the place was packed, and I joined the queue outside the door, in the rain. As I got closer to the sandwich shelves, I could see there weren't many sandwiches left, but couldn't see what I fancied. I figured I'd wait til I moved forward in the queue a bit so I could get a closer look at them, but people behind me in the queue were moving in front of me to pick their sandwiches then moving back to their place in the queue. I felt like grabbing them by the scruff of the neck and flinging them out the door, but I concentrated on my breathing to calm down.
When I finally reached the sandwiches, there were no chicken+lettuce and no chicken+bacon baguettes left. There was one Mexican chicken one, but it looked like it had been squeezed by a dozen people before me. I settled on the “tuna crunch” baguette. I love tuna, but normally I avoid prepared tuna products on sale to the public; idk, I just feel a bit funny about certain foods made by strangers. But I went for it anyway, with a bottle of Lucozade in the meal deal. I shoved them in my pockets and went home to eat my lunch.
Well, I should have stuck to my tuna principles, because the baguette was boggin'... dry, stale tuna with hardly any mayonnaise, and slimy red onions that had lost all crunch, wrapped in stiff chewy bread. I took a couple of bites and had to put it down. But I didn't have anything else in the house to eat, and not enough time on my lunch break to go buy something else. Like an idiot, I forced myself to eat half of the baguette. The consequences came a few hours later, when I got the mega-shits at work 15 minutes before home time!
What I'm trying to say is, it's best to be responsible for your own tuna if you want to keep your digestive system nicely in tune!
Twitter has officially rebranded as X and the service is now dysfunctional and falling apart. In other news, Kuz has AIDS and Kolyma has disbanded. Yet despite all this, 4-ch lives on!

GNU social is free software. This means you are welcome to run your own server and share the software with others.
If something is labeled GNU there’s a 50/50 chance it will suck. The FSF and GNU project are lazy and cheap. They stopped putting out quality software decades ago. Now they are just a masturbation cult around Stallman. Those morons are still wasting their time on useless projects that have no purpose, like Hurd which nobody wants or will ever use anyway. Do you really trust a bunch of fat out of touch programmers to develop a good alternative social network? They don’t even know what socializing is.
The best alternative to Twitter are old fashioned message boards and phpbb/vbulletin sites (softwares created by FSF anyway). But nothing beats karehe script. These are sophisticated 2ch softwares created by Japanese so they are flawless and perfect. Kareha was the peak.
>>52
GNU Social is the alternative to Twitter. It exists today. It is your own fault for choosing Twitter when these things are already here.
>>53
I think you're confused about the mission of GNU while you measure GNU toward your own standards without any investment of your own. The primary mission of GNU is to merely exist as free software. The matter of GNU being subjectively "bad" or "good" or "popular" is not a priority for GNU. The ideal is that users start with free software (such as GNU) and then invest themselves into improve the software towards their subjective perfection. Merely complaining that other people (the GNU project in this case) refuse to work to your own standards is self-induced helplessness.
>>54
I didn't choose Twitter, I chose a fediverse platform that is actually used by several hundred thousand people, and is compatible with other fediverse apps used by millions. Stop shilling your shitty dead software when the only thing it has to offer over the open source alternatives is the "GNU" label.
The matter of GNU using objectively "some garbage protocol they designed decades ago" instead of "the federation standard every other fucking piece of software uses" is evidently not a priority for GNU either.
I could ask the maintainers if they want my expert programming skills to help them advance past the stone age, but I bet they have some asinine reason for refusing to use ActivityPub. And even if they don't, I could spend my valuable time contributing to open source projects enjoyed by over 500,000 people, as opposed to one only used by a couple hundred basement-dwelling neckbeards who probably call their operating system "GNU plus Linux."
All that said, I'm pretty sure Kareha was coded from scratch by WAHa_06x36 who is not Japanese, so >>53 is delusional too.
Why’d anyone want a Twitter alternative? It’s like asking for an open source alternative to AIDS or cancer. I guess Twitter is good for certain people but it’s just a plague on humanity and most of that has to do with the user interface and now the whole thing is designed. I hope Elon chokes on a dick and croaks.
>>55
I think you're very confused. "Dead free software" is meaningless because everybody is welcome to update the software to their own purposes - free software doesn't die in reality. GNU Social supports ActivityPub. You don't need to contribute anything to the GNU Social team, all you have to do is update your own copy and use it for as long as you need it. Once more, big popularity isn't a priority for GNU, the biggest mission is that GNU exists as free software; it's perfectly okay if you don't use any GNU software.
>to their own purposes
I think you mean for the purposes of the FSF.
GNU licenses are very long and FSF holds all the power.
Also for someone supporting GNU social you've clearly never used it yourself. The code is a branched mess and when you manage to install it it is bugged beyond hell.
But of course GNU software is all about the branding, not quality.
