/v/ might honestly be the worst board on the site, at least in comparison to what it used to be. It definitely has the largest infestation of xitter-tier refugees, and it shows. 60% of the catalogue at any time is coomerbait, 30% is culture war bait, and the rest is boring industry drama. /vr/ might be the only place on the site where there can be decent vidya discussion.
I've been noticing more /v/ kiddies on the board. I had a browse yesterday after being absent for a few weeks, and I can certainly see more /v/ level engagement bait that's not necessary on a much slower board. Currently the board seems fine at the moment, i'm guessing the mods deleted those threads I saw yesterday(including a Floigan thread that some autist has been spamming for years).
 
I find it interesting how drawthreads still have so many obsessive weirdos when AI exists. I guess the desire to make someone draw your dumb idea is stronger than just genning it.
 
I still have not received an actual explanation as to why there isn't a "/v/ porn" board. 75% of /v/ is softcore anime porn at all times and there genuinely needs to be a place to contain these gooners in. It has been like this for about a decade.

First time ever I post on /an/ and I'm already accused of being a boogeyman schizo of theirs. Gotta love nu-4chan.

There's no point. Most of the "fun" in posting lewd images on /v/ is that it's a blue board where you're at risk for getting banned for it and the unpredictability in never knowing when someone will start posting full-blown porn or how long threads will last before getting 404'd. If you made a red board where it's not only allowed but encouraged, it's no fun anymore. They'll ignore the new board and just keep spamming on /v/.

I always suspected they got off on exposing porn to regular people just trying to play video games. Call me crazy but I think they also get off on the fact that underaged people browse that board too.

Possible for the ones who just randomly post porn in regular threads. I don't think as much so for ones starting threads that are obviously not serious game discussion or who just start posting porn when other people are doing it.

It gets even worse when legit schizos with vendettas take advantage of that, especially when caught with their repetative behavior, by samefagging while talking about themselves in 3rd person, poison the well about their origins and intentions, deflect that it's the stalker children/boogeyman who're the "real problem" even going as far to larp as both, or they drop the act saying they're "merely pretending". They do this shit for 12+ hours. Every. Fucking. Day.

I've found these types of faggots more disruptive 9 times out of 10 because they're the root cause of most threads being derailed when there's genuine discussion. Ignoring them won't work and hasn't worked becasue they samefag until newfags take the bait, the majority of users don't seem to use filters or don't have patiences to do either, so it's just constant chaos. Even reporting them and/or the people fighting them nets you a warning for "le report abuse". You might as well just abandon ship when they show up.

The common excuse I've seen is it is/was to "scare off normalfags" but that seems dubious. Most of it's cheeky, a lot of it isn't and is used to tease each other, but in general it's shock value that's been beaten into the ground that just isn't funny. You call them out for this or being annoying gooners and to fuck off to the Red boards and you're met with:
>It's an image board. I'm allowed to post images.
>I don't see you in (x) threads complaining about those.
>>NOOO YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON /v/
>What "porn"? I don't see any porn.
>YWNBAW
>If a pic of a woman scares you then you're a faggot.
>Male centric board. Male centric tastes.

Interestingly there's a gay version of this with a shitskin named Farquaad who spams gay porn across /v/ and /vrpg/ becasue hates the hetero bias, among other things. I dont know much about him other than hates women and seems to frequent CRPG threads talking about how much he wants to have sex with male NPCs.
