'''/jp/''' is [[4chan]]'s dedicated [[weeaboo]] board, used exclusively by those who fully intend to [[Dying alone|die alone]]. Devoted to [[Otaku|Otaku Culture]], popular topics on /jp/ include "[[Japanophile|Japan is master raec]]", "which [[touhou]] would you fuck", and "I am so [[ronery]]".

/jp/ has its origins in 2008, when [[moot]] realized [[a/|/a/]] was being flooded by Japanophile content that isn't strictly anime-related and brought down the b&hammer so hard that the board split in two. It has since been left to fester untreated; untouched and unloved by the outside world.

Seeing as "otaku culture" is a broad term that encompasses everything from [[v/|video games]] to [[a/|anime]], [[Plastic crap|figurines]], [[int/|cultural discussion]] and [[Fleshlight|sex toys]], /jp/ can be seen as a safe-for-work version of the [[b/|random board]] for weeaboos and other befouled lowlifes. In practice, though, /jp/ functions as 4chan's dedicated [[Touhou]] board.

/jp/'s userbase is also noted for having had a very unwarrented sense of extreme elitism for much of the board's history.


== Old /jp/ ==

Because [[4chan]] has its origins in the otaku-themed ADTRW forum of [[SomethingAwful]] (and is, indeed, based on an [[Futaba Channel|obscure Japanese website]]), /jp/ briefly served as a natural refuge for [[Butthurt|enternally embittered]] [[Newfag|oldfags]] who've grown weary of the dismal state of website.

/jp/ has long prided itself on a culture of [[Censorship|self-moderation]] and [[Friendless|splendid isolation]]. In practice that meant that every thread deemed not weeaboo enough got [[sage]]'d into oblivion, and any mention of /jp/ on the rest of 4chan resulted in [[RAGE|infantile rage]] from the elitist [[basement-dwellers]].

In a statement scientifically engineered to cause maximum [[butthurt]] among its userbase, moot declared that /jp/ was his favourite board on the 10th anniversary panel in 2013. For added lulz, he then also stated that "[[b/|the more people use something, the crappier it gets"]]. /jp/sies [[Shit bricks|shat bricks]] and braced themselves for a crapflood of illiterate newfag /b/tards who want to experience "[[Old /b/ would have X|Old /b/]]" for themselves. But despite the retards' insistance that this marked a turning point for /jp/ and a rapid decline in quality, in reality /jp/ only suffered a day or two of increased activity.

/jp/ would succumb to the same [[The Cancer That Is Killing /b/|natural entropy that destroys all imageboards]], regardless of any specific event.


== Modern /jp/ ==

Today /jp/ is treated mostly as a garbage dump for every weeaboo oddity deemed too pathetic for any other board. That includes:

* [[Visual Novel|Visual novels]] (to mastrubate to)
* [[Prostitute|Idols]] (to mastrubate to)
* [[Vocaloid|Vocaloids]] (to mastrubate to)
* [[Vtubers|Virtual YouTubers]] (to mastrubate to)
* [[Fleshlight|Fleshlights]] (to mastrubate with)
* [[Cheese Pizza|Japanese pornography]] (to mastrubate to)
* [[Shit no one cares about|Japanese train videos]] (something to do in between masturbation sessions)
* [[Uboa|Obscure and unplayable Japanese games]] (to mastrubate to)

These take up roughly 10% of the board. The other 90% is dedicated to [[Touhou]] threads, and for the most part Touhou art dumps. The existence of /c/ continues to elude the sex-deprived neckbeards.

== Spinoffs ==

[[File:Jp spinoffs.jpg|250px|thumb]]

Splitting /jp/ from /a/ has inspired the pathetic inbreds to recreate the act in a desperate attempt to maintain "quality" (read: [[USI|elitist exclusivity]]). In effect that means that every other week, some idiot with too much free time and not enough braincells attempts to create his very own "[[Unrealistic expectations|new old /jp/]]", with a "[[Lies|unique]]" theme and/or culture. The end result is a fuckton of tiny little websites used exclusively by the admin and his two imaginary friends, collectively termed "/jp/ spinoffs".

The users of these boards tend to throw temper tantrums when their precious secret clubs (NO GIRLS ALLOWED) are mentioned on the wider internet, especially on ''uncouth'' websites such as [[Encyclopedia Dramatica|ED]]. A list of links has been provided for the reader's enjoyment. Remember to be nice and [[DO IT FAGGOT|not shit up these places with crude 4chan memes]]:

Outside these imageboards there are a bunch of textboards that attempt to ape a very certain posting style popular on Japanese forums [[at least 100]] years ago. All very pathetic and very boring. Only notable thing about these is the [[Tanasinn|VIP QUALITY]] culture, which involves posting the same dead 2ch memes from 2005 for [[Hell|eternity]].

Note it's a piece of shit. It's also very unlike /jp/. Seeing as they hate Crypton [[Vocaloid|Vocaloids]] for being to known and liked.
