>mfw I'm a black liberal from la and i post those pepes all the time

Christ, the liberals have gone quackers, haven't they?

jk rowling is like the writing world equivalent of al bundy and harry potter is al bundy talking about how he scored that one touch down once in high school

>and harry potter is al bundy talking about how he wrote the best selling series of books in history
ftfy

That was a four touchdown game, shithead.

...

If rowling were smart she would write another fantasy series, maybe slightly more mature, but like a dumbed down version of game of thrones.
Her idiot fans would eat it up.
Im sure she wants to be a serious literary writer, but no one wants that from the harry potter bitch

>Im sure she wants to be a serious literary writer
what are you basing this on

Nah or we'd never hear the end of it.

Maybe we'd be able to introduce HP fans to actual literature. She'd inadvertently be doing them all a favor.

More like neoliberals get BTFO by a wwe hall of famer because their collision with the donor class and passing of globalist trade deals has turned the rustbelt into a howling snake pit while the wealth accumulated at the top and jobs were outsourced and every western nation was flooded with hordes of shitskin brown people and the left became emotionally invested in divisive identity politics that focused on gender and sex and race but ignore any and all economic and class issues while they live in gentrified areas and gated communities and the white lower class slowly dies until a magic man with golden hair comes down from the heavans and tells them to get in the car faggot we're going to make america great again and instead of admitting their massive failure they would rather blame neets on a mongolian knitting forum and russia

I wish I would get famous just so people would make threads about me and I would see them and maybe respond

Proud of you

I mean, I'm not a fan of hers or anything but surely people can't be this delusional to think she isn't relevant.

Article was pretty good, but I think it did a poor job in discussing the cultural vacuum or the excesses of the left. /pol9k/ hysterics against women =/= telling a jobless neet in southern ohio with no prospects for employment that he is a privileged individual.

> like a dumbed down version of game of thrones
> implying Game of thrones is a smarter equivalent to anything

JK Rowling or JK Simmons?

best selling /= good

>People who disagree with me are virgins who only disagree with me as a joke: a 10.000 word blog-post on "ARE U KIDDIN MEEEEE?"

It's getting to the point that I can sympathize with some of the people who go full-nazi. I mean, the american left is so fucking repellent.

JK Simmons. Truly a working actor who does roles for money and fun.

>using the term "skeleton key" to appeal to normies who played skyrim and make them associate ideas.
Fucking disgusting desu

JK Simmons. A true gentleman with a great ability for acting. Plus he delivered the best performance of the year in La La Land as the boss who snaps his fingers and smiles. Best 5 seconds of my life.

garbo article, hits all the right talking points and you would expect from a fucking goon, no nuance, no attempt to actually understand what motivates channers but instead focuses on filtering out every detail of this place so that all you're left with is a caricature to feel superior to

also can't stand the thinkpiece tendency of being bloated; this article is 32 minutes long but has about 5 minutes of substantive content/argument

These long articles on Veeky Forums always make me laugh. You can always tell whether someone genuinely understands the site's culture or not, and it's so embarrassingly obvious when they don't. It's like when Redditors come on here and type with loads of spaced out paragraphs. Really makes me think.

>he thinks skeleton keys only exist in skyrim

are you retarded?

word

i literally can't think of someone less qualified to talk about Veeky Forums culture than a feminist something awful user who writes think pieces

This, but also people invariably end up writing children's books when their other efforts at publication fail because of how low the bar for children's books is.

Are there any good articles on Veeky Forums?

>This new site I didn’t understand. It was a bulletin board, but its system of navigation was opaque. Counter intuitively, you had to hit “reply” to read a thread. Moreover, the content was bizarre nonsense.

Not that I agree with these cucks and their biased opinions, but Veeky Forums will one day be examined with actual academic methodology. This can't happen overnight, so obviously they need to begin with these type of articles. Just like the initial scholarship of a philosopher is different from the one that is reached after hundreds of years of examination, the narrative for Veeky Forums will one day be more full.

I personally believe only a person who has browsed at least 50% of the board at different times and has been otaku-tier on some of the big boards can fully get the big picture here. Also a person with no understanding of anime, will never get Veeky Forums fully, ever.

His points about male unemployment as the impetus behind the rise of the alt-right are on point. Bannon says the same thing about a "lost generation"

>a person who has browsed at least 50% of the board at different times
Does such a wretched creature even exist?

Not really. Newfags writing articles couldn't really work from the start, you know. Now, if someone actually dedicated themselves they could do something decent.

Semi-related but this guy's channel is pretty good: youtube.com/channel/UCR1D15p_vdP3HkrH8wgjQRw

this one is okay

canopycanopycanopy.com/contents/anonymity_as_culture__treatise

angela nagle has written some decent articles too and she has a book coming out called "kill all normies"

Really? I imagine anyone who been here since 2010 has at one point known the flavour of the month memes on many boards. I personally have never spend more than 10 munites on /co/ an year, but the cross-boarding and memes travel and I do know the general feel there.

>he thinks oblivion players are normies.
>he thinks morrowind players are people
>he thinks skyrim didn't had that deep impact in normie culture.
>he doesn't check the outside world

Are you a frogposter?

JK Simmons in OZ gets a face full of shit but even then his work isn't as shitty as JK Rowling

PWNED

Like, I've been to every board but the concept of someone spending time on every board and really getting a deep feel for that board's specific culture would take years. I think to understand a board you would need to spend probably a minimum of six months daily browsing that board.

>He is both the “promise” (the labyrinth”, the “alpha”) and the empty center (“the promise betrayed”, the “beta”), in a sublime, hilarious, combination that perfectly reflects the worldview of his supporters.
FUCK I hate it when authors do this. Line them up properly

Those comments:
>There’s one piece of the puzzle that Dale misses, and that’s the infiltration of Veeky Forums by white supremacist groups like Stormfront, in the wake of Project Chanology.
>Other ex-Channers have made similar comments on other boards: how Veeky Forums started talking more about “degenerate culture”, or /x/ going completely off the rails.
>What truly chaps my hide about all of this is how Christopher Poole (moot) takes no responsibility for what he has wrought, and indeed, was rewarded with a cushy job at Google instead.
lmao

>I think to understand a board you would need to spend probably a minimum of six months daily browsing that board.

I think that only goes for the big boards, since they evolve fast. The ecchi anime boards for example don't move much in terms of their own culture. You automatically receive culture from the small boards because of crossboard posting.

> how Veeky Forums started talking more about “degenerate culture”
What is wrong with this. It's basically an opinion that could be shared by most members of the Frankfurt School.

Angela Nagle from Dublin uni is releasing an academic book entitled "kill all Normie's" which actually could be interesting as her Twitter is unusually nuanced for a millenial, she was on channel 4 last month stuck in the middle of a screaming sjw and alt righter

Veeky Forums is a left-wing conservative board

Good point, but then again, to understand all of the big boards - let's look at that, it's /a/, /b/, /v/, Veeky Forums, /r9k/, /pol/, /sp/, probably some others. That's still a lot of browsing. I feel like I can hardly keep up just between Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums.

I've never been around when /b/ was worth it(I really doubt it was actually worth it), but the others are possible. /sp/ has really fallen from their part of the main culture, so I don't consider them important.

moot never wanted this shit though. He was just a kid who wanted to shitpost about anime 2chan style who inadvertently became a champion for free speech and anonymity in an increasingly identitarian age.

Your post read like you genuinely thought that the term skeleton key only applied to Skyrim. It's a real, well understood metaphor in the real world (IRL), not some fucking video game reference you autist.

To be fair it seems like the author of that article was at least somewhat familiar with chan culture to realize Pepe is not inherently racist or anti-semitic. But yes, anyone who calls Pepe a "hate symbol" demonstrates that they don't know what they're talking about. Even the ADL admitted Pepe is not inherently hateful and it depends on the context in which he is used.

It made me smile when progressives accused of her of racism for only giving Africa one wizarding school, and accused her of "cultural appropriation" for portraying skinwalkers as non-evil.

>I Understand Veeky Forums: The Article
>Written by: A Clueless Goon

He's called The Weaver. He's a primordial drawfag of ancient Veeky Forums, currently taking residence in /trash/

I actually felt that the guy was honestly trying to be sympathetic to the people on this site. This article is one of the few critical commentaries on Veeky Forums that I've seen that views user as real people with real problems and doesn't just dismiss them as loser NEETS living in their mom's basement.

>But rather than take this as reason to be ever more contemptuous of Anons and their misogyny, the left should regard user/the deplorables as a failure on its part, a terrific mangling of the left’s own arguments that has resulted in alienating the very group of people who could be the most helped by their ideas, if not the most convinced.

...

I thought this analysis of Kek was pretty good.

>There is an entitlement and expectation that is simply different for the straight cis (often white) men of Veeky Forums than it ever was for me…and I think that difference of expectation is not to be downplayed.
well we are entitled to it

>Veeky Forums will one day be examined with actual academic methodology.
There are already a number of academic works and scientific articles focused primarily on Veeky Forums, you just haven't been looking for them.

The bar for writing children's books is extremely high because so many people like yourself think it's easy and try to do it.

>What truly chaps my hide about all of this is how Christopher Poole (moot) takes no responsibility for what he has wrought, and indeed, was rewarded with a cushy job at Google instead.

I hate this notion that moot should share responsibility for the rise of /pol/ and reactionary politics. When moot deleted /new/, the stormfags didn't leave, they just shitted up other boards. It can be argued that /pol/ is a failed containment board, but at least mods can ban people for posting threads that clearly belong on /pol/, and at least we can tell people to fuck off to /pol/.

It also strikes me as ingratitude. Veeky Forums is single-handily responsible for nearly every meme that's existed on the English-language internet after 2003; but people will trash Veeky Forums in-between sharing a meme from a "dank memes" page on Facebook that was created on Veeky Forums a few weeks ago. They'll proclaim that every site should have real-name registration as a way to stop trolls on the internet, and then they'll complain a few months later that there's no more dank memes being created.

People just don't want to admit that Veeky Forums isn't "humanity at its worst", Veeky Forums is human nature at its most basic core. user are ordinary people showing their true selves when all social inhibitions are stripped away. People don't want to admit that humanity just may be this bad, so they tell themselves "the internet makes people into assholes" without considering that maybe everyone was just an asshole to begin with.

Do you know any good ones?

I think the beauty of Veeky Forums is that the guy calling you a worthless nigger in one thread may be the same guy going out of his way to share a rare ebook with you in another.

>hard truths for the left
>fake news article by journalist who somehow knows Trump supporters think he's a joke
>evidence given are memes off anonymous frog board

Here's a screenshot of some assorted things I have bookmarked but can't be bothered to copy and paste the links for but you can try and google them if you want.
Three books that I know of are "Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistle-blower, Spy - The many faces of Anonymous" by G. Coleman, "This is why we can't have nice things" by W. Phillips and "Expect us" by J. Beyer. The first one's a bit overenthusiastic but the other two are interesting. I'm sure more good ones exist or are being written right now.
It's sort of funny that all the academics writing about Veeky Forums are women.

Not so much if you are aware the women love 'bad boys'.

>Wachoski Sisters
triggered

I gather from the thread that this is a bad article. Is it amusing, though? If it's both bad and unfunny I won't read it.

>somebody with no understanding of anime will never get Veeky Forums fully ever

Bullshit. This website has long since transcended it's initial pretense of anime discussion.

I have read some and they are generally low-tier as far as academia goes. By low-tier I mean they are mostly descriptive, since they are probably the first one ever to exists. I'd consider something worthy if it gives itself to a grant and consistent in-itself narrative. We need a philosopher, not some media science/communication/PR/digital humanities academics to write something great.

It definitely has insights, but is ultimately from an adversarial point of view. Also, an objective reader cannot come away without asking why these disenfranchised young men are so openly hostile to women. Just stating "sexism" is not an answer.

It is definitely someone not familiar with board culture, and is obsessed with "/b/" where as the site is currently dominated by interplay between /pol9k/ and the outlier boards, like this one, Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums, /k/, /int/, and /v/.

the /b/ population has much less interaction with these boards, which have become much much more serious in the last 5 years.

The dialectical method(which I think is the only method to easily explain the evolution of this site) can only begin from the start. You just can't go to being the reactionary site we are today, without years of the ideology that anime induces.

>inb4 anime is anti-conservative because of hentai, gaynees or else

Expect us is a commentary/analysis of why Anonymous as a political force rose on Veeky Forums rather than other large contemporary websites and This is why we can't have nice things is an analysis of the way in which trolls and the media feed off each other. That's not just descriptive, is it?

No! I went to the Yale bookstore and bought and read a copy of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs." I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing.

not even a terrible article honestly. he brings an interesting point of view, in that he's an outsider-looking-in who's been an outsider-looking-in for a decade. of course, this limits his understanding of the actual nuance within the culture and history of the site, but he does pretty effectively capture the broader perception of the site as it traveled through the years. also think he's on the money with regard to trump's youth appeal. we've come of age in a post-vietnam, -watergate, -war on drugs, -war on terror era. politics is a corrupt joke, something that works for 'them,' never 'us,' filled with empty suits posturing about empty values. then trump comes in and doesn't even try to conceal his sleaziness. he's the only politician whose public persona is compatible with our understanding of politics.

Most of Veeky Forums's favorite anime are actually vaguely authoritarian, aren't they? I'm talking about stuff like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Gunbuster, Gurren Lagann, etc.. If they don't overtly support authoritarianism, they at least tend to make it look cool.

/b/ is pretty much another porn board nowadays.

Yes. Also Christianity is portrayed as cool and evil on many. /a/ was actually one of the first boards after Veeky Forums that had a sizeable unironic populace of christian shills, even before /pol/.

>Are there any good articles on Veeky Forums?
newfags couldn't do it
oldfags wouldn't do it

That's what I've used it for the past two years. It's nice to have some spontaneity in fapping.

my diary desu

Veeky Forums + Veeky Forums crossposter. The hangouts for true failed normies.

That's a good way to put it. I've felt comfortable exposing myself as an absolute psued in most threads because it can't be used against me later.

That whole article she links to is crazy.
It's all "muh dark corner of the internet, le virgin evil weeaboos /b/".

Just relax, you old lady. It's just a imageboard, with a lot of different boards for different subjects.
