>>1215134there's no such thing as gatekeeping on nu-/a/. All gatekept /a/-related imageboards and spinoff communities are all circlejerky with people who'd hang themselves at any moment. Different strokes, same shitty types of people. The otaku community, whether insular or the wider normalfag reach, is the most appalling group of people on the Internet. I'd rather learn Japanese, watch anime, and read manga with myself rather than interacting with the wider depressionfest of a community that is /a/ or /jp/. Hell, the djt thread on /int/ is miles better than the one on /jp/. It really tells you something about the overall quality of otakufaggotry on the Internet
