/jp/

/jp/, or the 4chan State of /jp/& was an abortive board made last Thursday by moot during his period. Unhappy with all the Touhoues, Visual Novels, figs, and general fun times to be had on /a/, moot reached his limit during that time of the month. In an abrasive show of his own power and smartness, he decided to split /a/ into two slow and boring boards; /a/ and /jp/. He also instituted more janitors.

The Buttranger

The Buttranger is an forced meme of 2011 relentlessly spammed by newcomers to the board who think that making shit threads and whining because you don't like 4chan moderation policy not old as shit and patently idiotic, but fresh and hilarious because it's being done ironically. He takes the form of a persona who spends all his time trying to fight the janitor in EPIC BATTLES XDDDD like it represents the culmination of /jp/'s long and storied history of autistic fights against the janitor, whereas it's actually just the last and probably most unimpressive version of it.

Still, like most memes, good for some cheap laughs when there's nothing else on.

The comic version

In a desperate attempt to make moot give a damn, several very, very bad drawfags offered their services and made every third thread a bitching thread. It resulted in nothing happening, just as it was thought. It did, however, give raise to a good ban.

Modern /jp/

Spoiler image used in /jp/.

/jp/ has no real Japan-related content. This enrages Japanophiles who, after looking at the board's name and its rules, believe /jp/ should be about pinku bento boxes. When they realize it's filled with animu, ronery, Visual Novels, Touhou and TYPE-MOON, they proceed to collectively whine about how much the board sucks because no one wants to talk about the glorious country of Nippon. Ironically, anyone who makes a thread about Japan-related content will be flamed and directed to /trv/.

One of the reasons for it being so popular is because it's relatively safe to post CP on /jp/ because of a prototype software implemented on the board that checks every image uploaded and recognizes whether to put a spoiler image over it or leave it as is. If you've gone to /jp/ you'd have noticed that there seem to be a lot of Japanese bird cooking spaghetti threads. The reason is that software that upon realizing that CP is being uploaded, changes the content of the post and puts the spoiler image of a Japanese bird cooking spaghetti.
