Does anyone else feel like Veeky Forums is the only semi-sane board on Veeky Forums? All other boards I have interests in are either pretentious, deeply ironic, sometimes even hostile.

there is plenty of shitposting but if you have a genuine question it will be answered and people seem to actually care about others making progress.

And Veeky Forums isn't?

it's relatively friendly compared to other boards, notably r9k

Have no idea if half the shit on this board is ironic, if a regular person had the ideals fit would he would be mentally unstable and unhappy because he'd have an unhealthy fixation about the length of his shoulder or the ratio of his index finger to his middle finger or some other retarded shit.

I use /k/, Veeky Forums, /trv/ and look at /r9k/ to remind myself of what I narrowly avoided becoming
>literally have actual DSM autism

/k/ is a /pol/ outpost but every now and then I have a specific technical question about one of my rifles, and they can help. generally will call me a cuck since I'm not much of a "gun person" (power to you if you are, and not going to call me a cuck)

Veeky Forums has always been cool to me, but I don't post much

Jesus /r9k/ is sad

/trv/ used to be the sane, laid back board and still is to a large degree, but even though "Veeky Forums was never good," /trv/ has gotten markedly worse, just like /b/. Enough that I basically no longer go, because it's a depressing reminder. Same way I'm kind-of-oldfag enough to remember /b/ having a use besides being a shitty /hc/

tl;dr Veeky Forums has its problems but I've noticed the same thing as OP and and and have actually mentioned as much recently in other threads

Veeky Forums has crippling body dysmorphia, self-esteem issues, insecurity, and autism. I'd say its actually one of the least sane boards, and its good they changed it from fitness and health because this is probably the board that's the least healthy for anyone to browse regularly.

switch money for physique and you realize Veeky Forums and /are basically the same board.

making it= earlyvretirement/passive income
glutenfree zealots= unflexible absolute capitalist or communist
turbo autist bbuilder=turbo autist day trader
calorie monitoring= money monitoring
water fast= MLM
e-coins shills= sip shills
unhealthy obsession with traps= unhealthy obsession with traps

I still miss /fitlit/, though...

Yeah Veeky Forums is probably the fastest, most sane board.

>HOSTILITY SCARES ME
low test fag

Key word being semi, it has the least amount of toxic behavior but still too much.

Other than here, /asp/, Veeky Forums, /an/, and/trv/ are the only boats I frequent and they are varying degrees of sane.

>implying you don't need a new insecurity

Outside of the incels that whine endlessly about women here this board is the best. The rest is a trump-anime-porn circle jerk.

People on Veeky Forums are interested in trying to affect an objective reality with their actions, that is, trying to grow muscle on their bodies. Being successful at this requires trying to reach an accurate understanding of what objective consequences their actions have. I think that this is what gives Veeky Forums the feeling of being more sane; the people here discuss things more from a perspective of "is it true?" instead "what do you think/feel?" than other boards (Veeky Forums, every board that's about entertainment). I feel that /diy/ is like that too.

Idk man there are some weird fucking people on Veeky Forums too

Been here like ten years. Veeky Forums reminds me of the boards back then. It's one of the last few good boards.

>semi-sane

Veeky Forums is the most sane board, hands down. Veeky Forums used to be a lot better, it used to get shit done, create a lot of homebrew material. But the core attitude remains, that attitude being one of minimal tolerance for individual preferences, pet peeves, and ignorance. Post a stupid fucking question and you'll be mocked, but respond to the people mocking you and they'll actually answer your question. It's sort of like a hazing to determine whether you're worth spending time responding to. And the idiocy inherent to the attitude of "stop liking what i don't like" is understood by pretty much every participant. People understand that having fun cannot be inherently wrong as long as nobody's getting murdered IRL, so you cannot have fun in a wrong way. I spent a fair while arguing with somebody about the merits of Pathfinder, and after spending that time shitting on everything I said, the person applauded me a little bit for being able to have fun with it.

Seriously, I love Veeky Forums. High test for the high test god.
