And here's the thing. Are we just going to allow VN threads that house no anime discussion, just because users accept it? Of course they will, they watch anime, after all. They are deeply tied into the core of otaku culture. It's just natural that they'll want to explore other parts of it, such as Visual Novels and Action Figures. But, is this right? Literally accepting the subject matters that were the reason for /jp/'s existence because users said it's alright? In my opinion, no. Moot created /jp/ for Otaku Culture, and /a/ for Anime and Manga. Just like anime discussion is 99% of the times forbidden on /jp/ (usually accepting old anime threads, and even then, very rarely), even if many users watch anime and can discuss about it, we shouldn't allow VN threads to bloom and hold such solid fanbases and threads on /a/ just because it has an anime, that has/hasn't aired already/yet.
