Co/: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:18, 27 June 2018

/co/ is a board on 4chan where cartoons and comics collide. Theoretically, it's supposed to be about the discussion of cartoons and comics, but in reality is used for anon to discuss animated porn, pirate comic books, pirate infantile animated shows, whine about their sex lives, and circlejerk with drawfags. To their credit, they do attempt to create original content more often than most boards, but it's usually just gay 'Music Meister' porn or anthropomorphic personifications of the various boards on 4chan. /co/mrades, as they refer to themselves, are probably the least harmful 4chan users to meet in real life; while the others will just rage at you for not having their opinions, /co/mrades usually at least buy you dinner first before asking you to dress up as Neil Gaiman. /co/ is also unusually tolerant of femanons (or at least they used to be), unlike its cousin /v/, with whom it has an uneasy relationship.

Unfortunately, that all changed when the /pol/tards and /tv/ nerds invaded the board and spread their memes and cancer, turning /co/ into a cesspool with no self-awareness. Nowadays, the typical state of /co/ is endless arguing over trivial bullshit, accusing anyone who likes comics and cartoons of being a normie, and hissing at the sight of anything that isn't a white male.

History

/co/ was created At least 100 years ago as a refuge for western-style cartoon porn aficionados to go and fap over pictures of Power Girl, Black Cat and Deadpool. This mass exodus of basement dwellers has also had the result of making /a/ full of only weeaboos.

At some point in /co/ history, their tolerance for women and minorities suddenly stopped. Many blame Steven Universe, a show made by women with minority characters, and /co/ hates that show with a fiery passion because of all the filler and messages of diversity and acceptance. Expect there to be a lot of threads blaming SJWs for whatever nitpick they have with current animation, along with the customary belief that people who work in animation don't deserve basic human respect. In its current state, the only good thing about /co/ is the drawthreads, and even then those aren't that great. One must wonder why the drawfags continue to draw free shit for anons when they wear their disrespect for professional artists and animators as a badge of pride.

Ways to Troll /co/

While trolling is an art, even the greatest artists must start somewhere. Following the bullets below will help you to begin a solid career in trolling. NOTE: Sticking around the threads for a while may actually get you interested in comix, so troll carefully.

Mention Scott Pilgrim. At all.
Sage or otherwise shit on sharethreads.
Post unrelated images in storytime threads.
Praise Tim Buckley.

Complain about the four different Flashes in the DC Universe.
Create god-awful OTP threads.
Start a drawfag thread without drawing anything.
Complain about the new Captain America, who happens to be a black guy.
Compare Joe Murray to John K.
Mention John K.
Bring anything from /a/ to the board. Note: This may fail due to nostalgia-fags who loved Toonami.
Start a Total Drama Island or 6teen thread. For extra trollage cred, upgrade it to a shipping thread.
Start a "Who was the better Joker?" thread.
Ask what the Green Lantern's superpower is.
Say /co/ is love.
Mention Maggie at any time, you don't even need a picture, however this is particularly effective in Adventure Time threads.

Praise Cartoon Network for moving to "real life" programming. Shit will hit the fan and lives will be lost. Have fun with this one!
Ask why other artists can't draw as realistically as Greg Land does.
/co/ has found a recent love for Hey Arnold!, just find one and say you hate Rhonda and/or that Helga is one-dimensional and boring.
Discuss Dragon Ball Z or Digimon.
Discuss how funny Tom Preston or BrokenTeapot's comics are.

- Related, ask if they can do better or tell them to stop harassing internet artists over perceived slights.
- Better yet, point out how several multi-man professional animation projects have just as many smears and perspective fuck-ups as her one-person internet works.
Praise webcomics in general.
Mention or praise Seth Rogen and/or Sausage Party.
Say someone's waifu is shit.

Try to have a comfy thread. Either nobody will respond or things will derail.
Talk about Randy Robert Stair when someone is trying to have a Danny Phantom thread.

Troll copypasta for drawthreads

Chun Li/Wonder Woman

Ok, this is after a long fight/foreplay, so they're both pretty sweaty and stinky.

Chun Li had this outfit on, but now she's half naked and she has unshaved armpits and legs (because they'd be covered by the outfit), the armpits are very hairy, but the legs aren't incredibly hairy, just average, she's half-Asian anyway. She has sweat stains around her armpits (if the discarded outfit is visible in pic, if not, disregard. She is muscular but also a bit chubby, she has semi-visible upper abs and very meaty legs and thighs. Her lower abs aren't visible, and she has a tiny bit of a lower belly. Typical Asian long pubic hair. Her feet are dirty and stinky (she has one of her boots off).

Wonder Woman is completely naked save for her bracelets and tiara, she is very muscular, and has a lot of armpit stubble (but they're shaved, though not very recently). She also has a hairy bush and an unshaved happy trail. Shaved legs, again with some stubble. Her toes and feet aren't shaved (if she has her boots off).

Chunners is kneeling around Wonder Woman's torso, pinning her down with her massive thighs. She is displaying her hairy cunt to WW, and pissing all over her tits and face. She has one arm behind her head, and she's in the process of letting her hair hang down (taking off the head dress things), so her hairy armpit is clearly visible. Her other hand is behind her chunky butt, fingerfucking her ass. There is some poop residue on the visible part of her finger and around her anus.

Wonder Woman is lying down on her back in complete bliss, both of her arms raised above her head so her armpits are on display, her wrists tied by her own lasso. She is sniffing and possibly licking one of her armpits. Her large clitoris is erect and throbbing, and she is rubbing herself onto one of Chun Li's discarded boots, which is lying between her legs. There migh be faint poop residue around her mouth suggesting Chunners let her lick her dirty finger.

Furry/Statue of Liberty

Bridget from an American Tail wearing nothing but sexy boots, fishnet stockings, and a garter that goes around her waist. She is standing naked on top of the statue of Liberty and waving the Irish flag. Pronounced armpit (possibly pubic and belly) fur and tuft of chest fur would be great. I'm not the original requester, I just really liked the request so I'm pasting it!

Also the original requester posted a link to fuckawesome Western boots she should be wearing but I forgot to save it. I pasted similar boots into the ref image but I'm not sure if they're exactly right.

Use this copypasta to drive away drawfags and deprive /co/ of their only power source

Requesting all the drawfags give these people nothing because you self-absorbed hypocritical fucking faggots don't deserve anything nice and the drawfags deserve so much better. Being a drawfag on /co/ is like being the personal macaroni chef to a mentally handicapped bigot who hates macaroni with a burning passion and considers people who make macaroni to be subhuman garbage. The only reason he doesn't complain about your macaroni is because he doesn't have to pay for it, and the moment you start making macaroni for the masses as a professional career he will hate you merely for existing. So please, no more drawthreads ever again because this board is shit and deserves shit.

Troll copypastas to rile up /co/ for fun and profit

Nobody knows how animation works

Note: Due to recent changes made on 4chan this may require multiple posts in order to fit everything in.

It's quite obvious nobody on this board has even the slightest idea how animation works, neither as an art nor as a business. Yet they think they know more than the people who do it for a living just because they can point out when something is off-model. Rather than offer any sort of constructive advice that could potentially alleviate the problem, making everyone happy, they instead scream at the artists to do better and sit back on their fat asses, eyes glued to the computer screen, ready to complain again when the next episode airs. The board has a sense of entitlement towards animation. It believes that animation is not created by living, breathing humans with their own lives, feelings, and shortcomings, but rather spat out by a faceless machine. When the machine does not give them what they want, they believe the machine to have been incompetently assembled. The manufacturer tries to defend himself, aware of humanity's imperfection, calmly explaining that he and his staff are doing the best they can and that there are many different factors at play when creating professional animation for public consumption, only to be met with infuriated screams and accusations of laziness and dishonesty. When something is not up to the board's standards, they feel personally attacked, as if their so-called Benevolent God of Cartoons is taunting them. Any fault they do not blame on the animator they blame on vague, imaginary boogeymen who oppose their ideals, fictitious monsters they've deluded themselves into believing are real. They know no joy. It is an emotion they have long since left behind, but do not know why. They believe the benevolent animators can restore it for them, but the board is not satisfied with what they have to offer. Could their mistreatment of the workers and constant demand for absolute perfection, which they are convinced they will never have, and their inability or outright refusal to simply move on to a different type of pleasure be the cause of their misery? No, it must be the fault of incompetent artists!

Teen Titans Go copypasta

Teen Titans Go is the greatest cartoon ever because it actually has the balls to call out cartoon fans for being the whiny, self-entitled, disrespectful failed abortions they are. The writers for other cartoons are either ignorant of the problem or avoid mentioning it in order to stay professional, but the truth is, this needs to be addressed, and more professional writers and animators need to see the cartoon community for what it truly is. Teen Titans Go is one of the brave few, and because of that, it's gone from being an "okay as its own thing but not as good as the original" show to a brave, bold, and biting commentary that has my utmost respect.
