The context of the joke is originally a more stereotypical hillbilly looking farmer that assumes and uses the term 'liberal' as a means of describing person annoying him. In context of what it actually says about the politics about either, it doesn't matter. The person is a stand-in for a bother that the farmer would rather run over and commit violence against than do a simple movement and ignore their disobedience.

When switched with Lucky Star and the context section from the original video removed, no longer do you have a confrontation between the driver and the person in the road. Instead what we have are Shiraishi and Akira which leads to assumptions about the context. Said context being that Akira simply wants to run over Shiraishi because his existence alone annoys her, not for any ignored commands. The original audio overlay serves a similar exaggerated purpose to the original but with even less of a connection to anything political because no inference can be made outside of the sound of the voice.

Therefore, unless you're some retarded uncultured swine, the video is not political.

Let me try my hand at this: We bring 4taba back online and make cool-guy the head moderator, that way he can realize his vision for genuine discussion while the so-called "community growth" continues to happen on Kissu, as per the will of the rest of staff. This will establish a symbiotic relationship in which people banned from 4taba will flock to Kissu and help it grow, while those dissatisfied with this development will join 4taba. Verniy will keep covering the hosting bill to show support for this new, mutually beneficial ecosystem and everyone wins.

When someone deletes my posts on the internet I just think "oh well" and go on with my day, at most I'll ask why they did it so that it doesn't happen again or explain my reasoning if a misunderstanding needs to be cleared up, but I would never try to challenge a set of rules while being under somebody else's roof. That is all to say, I don't understand how people can get so obsessed with the fact that their post was deleted that they'll go on an endless tirade about how they should've been allowed to post it to begin with and that the rules are wrong, so-on.

Political or not, I'd get tired of jokes about libtards. I don't come to kissu to hear pejorative modern political term jokes, or any modern political terms. I pragmatically solved political systems as a whole at least up to a certain point, and none of the places where political discussion is allowed, casual or academic, tried to scratch that, anyway. What I'm saying is, anything of modern politics is useless for discussion of what matters, and is a net negative to any community. It's religion without the spirituality. It's always a philosophy of crab bucket hell covering for attempts to dupe you. Boo!

In the most surface-level way it can carry a political connotation, but then so do plenty of anime by way of having messages about slavery or drugs or whatnot. Yani Neko or GiTS now become harmful political anime to be deleted by your childlike standard.

>>42616
I would say the definition of what is 'politics' in the sense of what people want to avoid on a website is the culture war or American left-right ideology collision. Pointless political bickering that accomplishes nothing and only serves to get people roused. Although here people will probably want to avoid any sort of ideological discourse at all even if it's elevated above the usual standard of online political discourse because having said discourse at all is a magnet for the lower level of it.

That's even worse then. You're """standing up""" for someone who doesn't need or want you to do it and creating completely needless drama. Somehow an even bigger waste of time.
But I'm not really telling you anything new here, am I? You doubled down on it after all, so you are completely aware of the fact that it is a waste of time for everybody involved you included, it just doesn't bother you as much as you have nothing better to do with your time. Luckily I do though, so I'll just leave you with this on the off-chance that my earlier assumption about your intentions is wrong before going off to better spend my time elsewhere.

Okay but why here has to be a joke where the hate for some political group has to be the medium? Humor is based on benign transgression and a transgression of putting up hateful and tiresome American politics isn't benign for here, people are tired of it and practically try to avoid it by coming here.

This somewhat hinges on the definition of 'liberal' being that of a political group in the context of the original video or not. So I should probably post that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB5zXwHPOGo and then you can see that there isn't any sort of meaning to the word. There's nothing to indicate the person as belonging to any political affiliation. The farmer simply uses "liberal" as a means to define "any person annoying me". As such it becomes not a hateful term against a group, but instead a blanket term with no meaning which could be substituted with anything else.

To paraquote Deleuze and Guattari, when a schizophrenic carpenter keeps building something wooden and it ends up being a chair without him even understanding the context of a chair or a concept of a chair in the process, it's still a chair.

Well, you see, when I was a kid and I had drawn my naked young aunt crudely, just to show off my originality and skill, I was scolded, and I believe that was a reasonable thing to scold me.
¥ what?
I exaggerated her pubes, but, later, now in adolescence, while accidentally peeping on her I noticed that her pubes didn't actually grow that much, and were of lighter color, and I'm only connecting the dots just now. I was actually factually inaccurate, regarding that drawing.

If you raise your index and middle finger in Australia with your palm pointed inwards, that's the equivalent to giving someone the finger over there.
Of course, it might not be your intention to do so, and you can explain that it's not offensive where you're from all you want, but the key point is that you're doing it somewhere where it IS offensive. A symbol only has meaning because a group of people collectively agreed on what it means. When you visit or interact with another culture, the local "social contract" takes precedence. Expecting an entire nation (or in this case, an imageboard) to rewrite their cultural vocabulary to fit your personal habits is an uphill battle you will lose every time.
I don't think anybody expects you to to know every rule instantly. But once you do know, choosing to keep defying them isn't asserting independence, it's deliberately choosing to be a nuisance. No one will bend the knee or take you seriously.

I simply don't see anything that amounts to poison with this, that's the main issue. If people jokingly say something that could be construed political am I to think about politics immediately after and then have a philosophical debate because of it? That's why a major point I make is that the one who sees politics first is the one who needs to change their thought process because they themselves are too political.

>In Protestant Reformation history, confessionalization is the parallel processes of "confession-building" taking place in Europe between the Peace of Augsburg (1555) and the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).
>This confession-building occurred through "social-disciplining," as there was a stricter enforcement by the churches of their particular rules for all aspects of life in both Protestant and Catholic areas. This had the consequence of creating distinctive confessional identities that influenced church dogma, faith formation, liturgy, and the development of universities.
There's this really interesting phenomenon that happened in the Late Middle Ages: the population became far more faithful, far more ardent, far more filled with the Holy Spirit, and this was seen as a regeneration, a path forward for fixing all of society's very real problems. But it ended up killing Christianity as a societal force and set us up with the liberal doctrine of "you gotta tolerate each other or we will all literally die". Modernity as we know it is a reaction against confessionalization.

I think something not entirely dissimilar happened to the internet in the 2010s. Heightened antagonisms led to the formation of politically-driven communities and the average user became something closer to an armchair activist, soapboxing on social media and policing their peers and enemies alike through harrassment and mockery. The precursor to this isn't to be found in vague, general anti-establishment Guy Fawkes messaging but in something like the fight between New Atheists and Evangelicals, that's the conflict that was both heavily publicized and heavily tied to people's identity. It was then around the time of Elevatorgate that New Atheists split into the side of anti-feminist compilation debatebros that'd fuel the tard-right and the side of reddit libtards who fucking love science (and still hate religion bcuz it's so regressive, man). Much of the internet was assimilated into perpetual blood sports.

That's, I think, the main way things have changed. But one alternative began to take shape in response, and that was to shut it all down, to reject activization by rejecting politics. Think of the sort of guy who correctly says /pol/ took over 4chan then incorrectly says beforehand racism wasn't important or somesuch. To attempt to crush politics and build an apolitical oasis is reasonable, but it's also as much a break from the past as activization is. I think the problem here is that our dear immoderator wants a more chaotic site, wants more diversity of opinion and expression, but is mixing up his ideals with the fact that people don't care about the edit, they care about the loaded political term still present in it.

I thought it was well known that he no longer writes his own episodes. Personally, I think it's for the best. The Calvin and Hobbes theory is you either quit at the peak so you're remembered fondly, or you keep going until you're irrelevant and lose the spark of creativity. In my opinion, James found a middle ground where to a viewer who doesn't have that context, his newer episodes read like character development where he's mellowed out instead of like a parody of his earlier work that don't understand the original pull.

Bleh. I'll come out of hiding and writhing in bed with pre-tooth canal pain since people are talking about it in mod chat.

I am against the thread or any other that seeks to create division. It's one I would have purged instantaneously on old kissu and received the requisite "fuck u hope you die janny don't delete my redpills" thread of replies from the cavalcade of parasitic antisocial wastrels that eventually kill every imageboard after withering down every moderator that resists them. It was my time to feel the weight of that so I've been taking an extended break. Hopefully not everyone here has the type of autism where they can't understand that other people have human emotions and understand why it was I wanted to leave and enjoy myself again.
"Then why did you become mod if you wanted to be seen as human deserving of basic decency?" That's a good question, but one I can't answer.

History is simply repeating as it always does: give people the freedom they want and they make a clone of every other imageboard. People are not unique and special; they follow patterns. They want politics. They want shitposting. They want conflict and anger. They want the blase ubiquitous of apathy and irony because positive emotions open them to judgment. They want shallow performative connections to people that can easily be severed instead of thinking deeply and bonding over shared experiences and values because those things open them to betrayal.
Kissu gained a lot of 4chan people at once, and continues to do so, and kissu is adapting to 4chan/twitter culture instead of people being forced to adapt to kissu. I'm not saying all the bad posts are from new people, no, a lot of crap is coming from older users that no longer feel my gaze on them forcing them to behave. It's unfortunate to see the illusion of shared cultural values broken like this, but that's how it goes.

This is not a kissu thread, at least not the way I moderated it for the first six years which slowed its growth for the sake of community cohesion. This is not about Lucky Star any more than a red MAGA hat on Momiji is about Touhou. It's a perversion of the character to advance a social goal: to "other" liberals. What a liberal is for OP is up to interpretation as it always is, but it's an enemy.
It should offend anyone that has ever thought "I really like Japanese doujin culture" or "This character is beautiful and so well written". This video is the modern inauthentic tripe where someone paints over some social media crap with "anime aesthetics" because it's cool these days. Anything beautiful or cute has to be corrupted because it's so cool and unexpected and not at all what has been done 50,000 times before that month for the sake of chasing the algorithm. It bothers me that the same people that seek out Japanese media for its authenticity are so quick to insult and mock it for the very same thing. Kissu still labels itself as an otaku culture imageboard instead of a netouyo board I assume?

Pause for a moment and ask yourself if this is a thread you expect on kissu or instead a thread on 4chan or gnfos or wojakland or twitter? Or rather, the kissu of say 3 years ago.
What is the goal of the thread? Will it make people feel more welcome? Will people bond over shared thoughts and feelings? Will people feel good or will they feel worse? Will it bring closer together or farther apart?
I again feel compelled to share my "death from a thousand cuts" thing. This thread won't cause kissu's death on its own but it makes kissu weaker as a community. There is zero doubt in my mind about this. Driveby shitposting against 'others' doesn't build or foster a community, it creates an atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion as people await their turn to be othered, or perhaps they will make the next declaration of a target for the hyena to pounce upon. This is also why I absolutely loathe the /r9k/ "norms" thing, but that's been grandfathered in by /jp/ spinoffs as part of hobbyist discussion somehow.

Looking at >>>/jp/121443 the process of "othering" is already well under way as people tear each other apart because they no longer see kissu as a unified group and instead expect antagonistic judgment in another corner of the board somewhere.
What people do from here will determine the future of kissu as a place for fun hobbyists passionate about things or a loose-knit collective of bored people that are simply here to pass the time and feel no bond with another and instead await the next dose of stimulation from an image dump or politically charged shitpost. You can decide if I'm insane or if I'm the canary in the coalmine.

Well, that being said I'm heading back to IRC and I don't want to post again until September, outside of the seasonal stream announcements of course.

More refugees are bound to come here.
You can:

or

There needs to be cultural enforcement of some sort on the site, new people can't integrate into kissu culture if there is nobody around to teach them that culture. Doubly so if what >>42718 says is true and there will be even more people coming here in the future. While I think most people from the hack and the 4/jp/ autosage have adapted fairly well, I still see posts here and there that look like they were taken straight out of 4chan, and it bothers me that it often doesn't get dealt with in some way or another.

I know you've mentioned you don't use the moderation UI and try to moderate based off content rather than posters, but it truly disappoints me to still see this interpretation after I said >>42663. I never tried re-making the thread, or defended it's worthiness to stay. I was the one that asked that this fifth incarnation either get deleted or moved to /secret/. I really don't care that the original thread was deleted -- I really did just want to make an unserious thread like I subsequently made >>>/poll/12926. It saddens me that you would assume such cynical motivations. I made the thread on a whim after seeing the video and that was all.

I sparingly post, so seeing such absolute conviction of my villainy makes me wish that you had been following my posts to get a better idea of myself. I post videos and pictures in the hamster thread, post my cat occasionally in the cat thread, post about my tech interests on /maho/, post (a few) pictures here and there on the seasonal boards, and post things I like on /ec/ & /megu/ -- alongside heavy usage of #qa. I would hope that I don't give off the impression of being a nefarious poster, but I feel the need to reply since you have critiqued my intentions and character in a direct manner, clearly without having any frame of reference to how I preoccupy myself on Kissu. I don't think it's productive to contribute to the fearful and paranoid attitude of posters in this thread.

* * *

This juxtaposition feels a bit ironic. You would lambast me for making stupid meta threads, and being cynical about the state of Kissu, for whining about /secret/ and posts I overreacted towards, and yet here you are doing the exact same. I won't fault you for feeling the same as I have. I hope my at times miserable attitude hasn't worn off on you, and I'm sorry if I have influenced your thinking. You've been saying that Kissu isn't moving in a productive direction, but I'm really not seeing any indication of that being the case at the moment. If you're currently in a depressive spiral that's clouding your judgement as I have experienced, I would just like to remind you of your own words >>>/test22/63 and say that you were right. It just takes time for people to move out of their comfort zone and interact in other places. The only thing I could possibly point to that I personally find off would be the occasional western media reaction image, but I don't see any malice from such posts -- they're just clearly out-of-place, unassimilated.

>I don't want to post again until September, outside of the seasonal stream announcements of course.
>>>/trans/33132 >>>/trans/32434
I'm really not sure what's gotten you so persistently down on Kissu, and you deleting your threads (>>>/trans/32922 >>>/trans/32639) worries me a bit -- but if it wasn't caused by anything and you really just wanted them deleted for unrelated reasons (as I can relate to with this very thread...) that's fine. If you need to take a brake, take your time to recharge and come back with clear eyes. Doing so has helped me recalibrate my opinions on things and realize that many things I thought were indicative of some perceived decline were in actuality a reflection of my own negative emotional state transposed onto other posters, leading to cynicism about their behavior and the trajectory Kissu was on.

If you're going through it, I would like to remind you of your own words:
>>>/test22/89
>I hope you know that you have people that care about you here
I, personally, often look to your opinions as north stars to right myself and your absence the past while has been felt, especially on #qa. It might not seem like that, but I assure you I mean it. Sorry if I've been a little shithead troublemaker in the past... I'm not sure our interests align, but please do reach out if you ever want to talk about things.

If you can't see the difference between this and Momiji in a MAGA hat then you're definitely letting politics consume your mind far too much. The goal is not to 'other' liberals, the original context of the joke is that what a liberal is has no meaning to the person in the tractor. It's just a person that annoys him and that 'othering' itself is satirized.

As I said before, the imposition of Lucky Star onto the video adds a different dimension to what the viewer is meant to think >>42649. The dehumanization in the driver's PoV, who's now Akira, is Shiraishi. Someone who if you need to be reminded she repeatedly dehumanizes and antagonizes in the Lucky Channel segments so the behavior in the OP video actually falls perfectly in line with something one would expect of her. Thus the comedic angle of the video instead of some "LIBTARDS OWNED" backwards logic you're applying to it.

If you want doom and gloom though, I want to shank myself every time I'm watching new anime of this season because it's such a stellar season and nobody seems to be as invested in it as they should be. Maybe others have been as busy as I over the past few weeks but seriously GiTS has been in the main stream and fucking NOTHING about that anime for a whole month? Makes me want to scream.

The premise that this is some sort of trojan horse is itself ridiculous... Just check the thumbnails of the channel to see what sort of person they are. The notion that it's a political statement doesn't line up at all.

I didn't say or mean that you were a bad person. I said it was a damaging thread that I would have culled for hurting kissu's sense of comradery. One staff member said it was a thread that deserved deletion and another said it was a thread worth preserving, so I had to give my tie-breaking vote and my reasoning for it in a thread that was now hidden from the main page. I would have posted earlier but I've been semi-comatose.
I would have deleted the thread and moved on (and received the community backlash for it) but that's it. I'm of the opinion that posts should be judged as they are instead of pulling an investigation on the poster to see if they get a reprieve. This is my attempt at being unbiased. I would only look at IP history if I was considering a ban, which I wouldn't for that situation.

>deleting your threads
Some people are more sensitive to cultural changes I suppose. As someone said in another thread >>42574 "kissu is low politics, not zero politics". That's not a change I agree with because it will grow as it always does, such as the need to filter "norm" because people can't keep their redpills in their pockets.
I didn't want Kuon or AiPri associated with the cultural/demographic shift so I deleted those threads of me talking to myself, but I didn't delete any thread with participation in it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and I would never forgive myself to see Kuon sharing page space with repugnant things.
(Bad memories of getting Sachiko on the front page of 4chan before 4chan got in the news for bad things and Sachiko was shown prominently alongside them)

>You would lambast me for making stupid meta threads
I never lambasted you, I was always there to talk to you about it I thought. I hope I never seemed condescending or rude.

>>42723
The /a/ part of /amv/ was about ten people, just very active people for its size so if people are missing it's really obvious. I do think we've lost a few of them since the beginning of 2026. I remember a post on /poll/ where someone said "It (kissu) used to remind me of old /a/ but since the hack it's modern /jp/". There's really nothing you can do when people respond to changes unfavorably, each person has their own preferences.
Part of the issue is "front page culture" where /jp/ typically dominates, which has only grown with more 4/jp/ people around so /amv/ threads get buried quickly. If you're not there when someone else is talking about the anime during a specific time of the day on a specific day of the week then you simply won't see the thread at all unless you look for it, and people absolutely hate looking for threads. High participation rate with a minority population has quirks people need to work around.

Oh, and in case someone wants my opinion on the Terry thing. He was a mentally ill guy that 4chan and kiwifarms bullied to death for fun. He deserved help instead of open mockery. The culture around it gave rise to some buzzwords, one of which is also now filtered on kissu newly this year because of cultural changes. There was an attempt to defuse it with a silly filter instead of deletions so people knew that posting style was unwelcome.
In any community where mutual respect is desired, particularly towards people struggling with mental illness (which is common on imageboards) such a thing should never be allowed.
That's my opinion and you're welcome to your own.

All time post.

In a past /secret/ thread about excess gayposting on /jp/ (a problem which I think has been entirely fixed because most people were not as retarded as the person I'm about to reference), an ex 8channer miraculously determined "Kissu leans politically to the left," which I suppose is true relative to 8chan but lmao. The schizo's impression that kissu is left wing comes, I imagine, from the fact that those users who are leftist tend to keep that to themselves (as do most right wingers, who I assume are the silent majority in any space like this), while a certain section of right wingers either can't help themselves (thanks >>42654 and your creepy 3DPD fantasies) or do not even know they are failing to help themselves, much like the man with his aunt in the already quoted all time post. Therefore, mods delete right wingers more than left wingers, which apparently means they are left wing?

The 8channer in the gayposting thread was not a poster on the masturbation thread, nor on most gay threads really, but he did make the most rancid posts on some of the worst threads (at least if I've tracked the kissunons correctly). His type is capable of posting on this site while moderated, but if allowed to run wild will cause the most damage. When naive, accidental politics are allowed on the site, then his type will infest the site with /pol/ kuso immediately. Actually, because the foremost worry should be becoming /pol/, we might (because it is true that the video wasn't sooo political, and in fact everything has some tie to politics if you dig long enough) define "political posts" as those posts which open space for the worst /pol/sters on earth.

TL;DR: moderation can look left wing even when mods aren't because the worst kind of 4chan colonization is from far right retards. "politics" doesn't require wanting to be political; it only requires giving room for /pol/ retards to kuso everywhere
