Complete Review on 2Chan - Porn Chan Site

Futaba Channel, also known as 2Chan, doesn't need tricks and gimmicks to get people to talk about it. That's because this kind of site's anonymous nature lets so many users from around the world post anonymously tends to gather controversies around it. 2Chan is one of those sites that implements anonymous posting on its boards. Originally a Japanese textboard when it was created by Hiroyuki Nishimura way back in 1999 when he was still studying at the University of Central Arkansas, 2Chan has evolved and it's now a Japanese imageboard that people who aren't only from Japan are using as a source for various kinds of media including pornography. That's why we considered adding this site to our list of porn chans despite the fact that most of the boards here are for SFW stuff like sports, popular memes, animals, photography, fashion, hobbies, food, and specific topics that seem to be popular among Japanese geeks like Hololive and Zoids.

By the way, one board here is equal to one discussion so users of this site should be considerate about where they post stuff. Actually, there are lots of things you'd have to consider before using this website. You might want to know as well about the main difference between websites with chan boards and mainstream sites. Honestly, I think the best way to get to know this imageboard site is by checking out the boards here by yourself. However, you might have trouble getting past 2Chan's homepage because the auto-translate feature of your web browser might not work even after trying to the homepage several times. The entire homepage is filled with Japanese characters and there are just too many boards for anyone to check one at a time. So yeah, we'll just tell you everything you might want to know and need to know about 2Chan on this page.

Are The Controversies About Illegal Content True?

other websites like 4chan, 8chan, 8kun, and other chans became launchpads to groups of hackers like Hacker Collective and Anonymous. However, the more troubling issue that made websites like these rise to popularity without the need for advertising was potential for criminal activity created by the total anonymity of their users. In fact, Jim Watkins of 8chan got involved because of the posted manifesto concerning the mass shooting in Texas. Of course, Jim Watkins was not directly involved in the incident but he was guilty of creating a space on the web that lets its members use it to get illegal activities posted for others to see. Hey, that's not all. There were several other incidents linked to his site that are related to the posted content there that involves stuff that goes beyond hate speech. There were lots of white supremacists lurking in its community while abusing the anonymity they were granted. It shouldn't be too surprising since most of its users were from the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. 8chan later on became 8kun and it is now very strict against the use of VPN and IP addresses are now required to be shared with the main hosts' servers.

2Chan was not exempted from such issues. Back in 2012, the site was accused of letting its users advertise their offline amphetamine deals in Japan. Fortunately, it didn't become an actual case like what happened to 8Chan and its founder. I guess you'll be surprised that these kinds of websites actually affect society not just online but also offline. Although, even if it's just out of curiosity, don't even dare to search the boards here for anything related to stuff that should only exist in the deepest darkest corners of the internet.

Getting Around 2Chan aka Futaba Channel

The most important things you have to know are all about the boards on 2Chan. Since they all have Japanese titles and auto-translate can often let you down when it comes to Asian languages, I'll tell you all about them from top to bottom as they're listed on the left side of your window. On the imageboard section that starts from below the QR code, these are listed - Hololive, Shelter, Baseball, Soccer, Mahjong, Horses, Cats, Animals, Gardening, Insects, Aqua, Outdoor, Cooking, Sweets, Ramen, Vehicle, Motorbikes, Bicycles, Cameras, Home Appliances, Trains, 2D images, 2D Archive, 2D Archive (hentai), 2D Archive (games), Copyrighted Materials, Non-Copyright Materials, 2D ID (Doujinshi), Speed Graphic (photos shot quickly), 2D Story, 2D Industry, FGO, The Idolmaster (doujin), ZOIDS, Umehara General, Games, Online Games, Social Games, Kantai Collection, Mo'ai, Touken Ranbu, Fortunetelling, Fashion, Travelling, Parenting, WebM, I Agree, Nintendo, Sony, Net Character, Transformation, Self-Made Pictures, Self-Made Pictures archive, Crossdressing, Gay, Yuri, Yaoi, 2D Grotesque, 2D Grotesque archive, Ero-Games, File Uploads (index), Small File Uploads (index), PC Builds, Special Effects, Robots, Movies, Toys, Toy Models, Toy Models archive (SFW only), Toy Models archive (mostly NSFW), VTubers, Hololive, Synthesized Voices (like Vocaloids), 3DCG, AI new, Politics, Economy, Religion, Yoon Suk Yeol, Tertiary Live Commentary, Military, Behind The Scenes, Math, Flash, Wallpapers, Wallpapers 2, Touhou Project, Touhou Project Uncensored (hentai), Drawing, Graffiti, Graffiti archive, News Timeline, Showa, Heisei, Electricity Generation, Natural Disasters, COVID-19, Chat, New Board Request, IPV6, and Layout. The rest of the boards below the ones I have mentioned are all for technical stuff.

Now then, I think there are titles there that need explanation so we'll discuss them now. For example, there's a board called "Hinanjo" which we translated as Shelter. It is simply a place for members to rant about random stuff and you might find hate speech there but they're never about racism or sexism in particular. There's also one they call "Aqua" but I think it's better translated as "Marine Life" because the posts have so many topics that cover from swimsuits to underwater critters. You might also notice that there's a title I translated as "I agree" which is originally "sodesune". It can also be translated as "that's right" or "I see". It's a virtual place where random folks can post random stuff that others can only say "sodesune" to or can't be replied to with something negative. You might have noticed 2 boards there that may or may not sound familiar to you - Fumio Kishida and Yoon Suk Yeol are politicians from Japan and Korea so those are boards where both their fans and haters can talk about them. Lastly, you might be curious about what Chat is. There isn't an actual chat box here. It is a board where a user can start a thread for others to reply freely to. There's also one called New Board Request that you can use to ask for your own board with a completely new topic. IPV6 and Layout are boards that aren't really useful but the 2Chan administrators were supposed to use to get inputs from their users.

If you're planning to be one of the 2Chan users, you don't have to sign up to post any kind of media on any thread whether it's an anime poster, a self-image, any kind of image, or even video game links. You might want to check out the threads that were already created before you start a new one.

What You Should Do About 2Chan

Japan really is Otaku Land not only for anime, manga, and video games but also lots of other topics. Internet boards like this one are quite different from the adult forum sites that we know. 2Chan is more like a safe space online where people who can't express themselves in real life or even on social media platforms either because of censorship or their own fear of criticism associated with their identities can actually say everything they want. However, because of the popularity of 2Chan, the ratio of users to moderators has a huge difference so it can't be helped that this site is loosely moderated. There aren't a lot of people who bother reporting posts that are in the wrong channels so it's kind of dizzying here.
