>>4434144To me, this event signifies just about everything wrong with /r9k/ as a board and community and why I never, ever, EVER want /bant/ to become something like that. People act like this is all just a shitposting site, but image boards can elect powerful emotions that cause people to do things, good or bad, and while most of 4chan chose to deliberately make itself a dispicable and vile place to be in order to stick it to people who wronged them, I'd rather /bant/ be a place where we can feel decent about ourselves, or at least the online personas we pretend to be. You fill your board with shitty frogposters and slowjakfags who get off by picking fights other posters, and what do you get out of that? Do they make people feel happy? Is it constructive? Does it make 4chan a better place to be? Do you want to remember those threads? No? Then don't make them! And that goes for drama threads as well: every single post made on /bant/ gets recorded on the archive, and for days like the Slowjak spam its honestly a chore to move through them for anything decent that was made that day.
>>4434387It's a move towards becoming mainstream 4chan. Robots just demonstrated what happens when you take that to its logical conclusion, and if we fall towards that path then the enitre existance of /bant/ would be pointles since we'd just be an extention of that disgusting post-ironic, attention hungry, self-destructive mass that the rest of the site decided it wanted to be. Whenever you start categorizing your fellow /bant/erers, you alienate themselvs and yourself from the rest of the board, as the implies that you are an "other", seperate from the rest of us.
