>/v/ is just softcore porn and hating on big game companies. /vr/ makes more sense, but I still don't see it.
/v/ is a set of behaviors more than anything.
The softcore porn types tend to occupy /tv/ since its purposes align a bit more with /v/'s, but so many people are obviously transplanting behaviors from /v/ to /a/, and it has gotten especially bad since the site came back up.
There's a thread in the catalog right now that is pure /v/, just a screenshot of some clickbait rag with no text in the OP, just low-effort bait, and the worst part is that it's a REPOST of a thread from yesterday, and the thread has probably been reposted a dozen times before already, always getting over 300 replies.

A big indicator of /v/tards is just how often they'll bring up something games or culture war related unprompted. They always divert "discussion" to "The west is KILLING anime" or endless localization debates (when anyone who has actually spent any amount of time on /a/ knows that any translation is a meme, that debate was settled years ago). It's fairly obvious /a/ is the vacation home for /v/ posters that don't evade, with a healthy dose of just plain low effort trolls from /v/ and /qa/.
Doesn't help that it seems /a/ has basically lost all of its active janitors since the site's closure in April, as this was always an issue, but shit would always get deleted and there'd be enough bans to curb it. But now, instead, /a/ is a board that looks like this
>40% endless generals with no real discussion (outside of seasonals one day a week)
>30% endless dailies/storytimes that are probably allowed because they make the site look more active
>15% low effort posts (endless threads asking retarded questions about Naruto like "Why did X happen if Y is so strong???")
>10% ragebait / trolling (as already mentioned)
>5% genuine threads (die before 100 posts)
