>>3779544Neither was Berry Pink to [s4s], but feels-era /r9k/ when it was about genuinely confronting emotions and /jp/-lite /qa/ where the weeb-staffed board also answered meta questions like board speeds and statistics without shitflinging were some of the best times of both and both were victim to /pol/ cancer strangling the decent content and posters out of them, which bled onto /bant/ if it didn't just quit 4chan entirely. It's the reason we're all on /bant/ not on either of those boards in the first place. It's why we need to "force" an identity, because /pol/ is practically at our doorstep waiting for the moment to sink its dick into /bant/'s anus like it did the other random boards.
>>3779605Ignoring doesn't work if the userbase gets large enough to sustain itself and is more active than the host. The reason /pol/ managed to annihilate /r9k/ and maintains a grip on /qa/ is because it works faster and harder then the entire "native" bases of both boards, and its true green Kekistanis are willing to spend literal years replacing and converting the native population with their cancerous groupthink if it means they get to brag to Sargon about the epic piece of virtual real estate they just looted. The not!Pepes needed to go because they ultimately would have left /bant/ compromised from either directly agitating them to strike like Borche or attracting dumb frogposters who can't tell apart Apu and Pepe into thinking they're in good company.
And your picture means nothing. 2008 Cirno and touhouposters were still transitioning from /a/ to /jp/ and they had no reason to go to a random board over a dedicated 2d/r board that didn't ban their ass for posting on-topic like modern /jp/. All it is was a mod posting a Japanese Culture picture because all of 4chan was Japanese Culture back then.
