| This is a directory for linking to in-depth character descriptions of the [[Board-tans]] living in 4chan House for the [[4 chan anime]]. [[/tg/]], as it is wont to do, has written a few relevant [[4 chan anime Writefaggotry|short stories]]. There is an [http://shimmie.4chanhouse.org/ image gallery] and [http://dis.4chanhouse.org/char/ character discussion boards].
| |
|
| |
| Due to the chaotic nature of 4chan, there will never be a [[canon]] for the board-tans. There may be consensus, but it is best to treat all of the characters as fanon. If a certain character design upsets you, use the interpretation that you like the most, or be a real [[fa/tg/uy]] and [[Character Creation|make your own]].

| ==History==
| |
|
| |
| Once upon a time, [[:File:4ChanHouse.jpg|an image]] was posted on the /r9k/ board of 4chan labeled "4chan house" that showed all the then-boards of [[4chan]] as little stick figures doing board-relevant things. Then a [[drawfag]] named {{Anonymous|Three Angled Blue}} drew [http://dis.4chanhouse.org/comic/res/21.html#21 a comic] immortalizing /b/'s failed invasion of /v/, showing both boards personified as characters. A new era dawned unexpectedly.
| |
|
| |
| Prior to these events, 4chan's boards did not have character representations. There was always the portrayal of {{Anonymous}} as the featureless green-skinned "<nowiki>[No Picture Available]</nowiki>" man-in-a-suit, and there were certainly [[Yotsuba|mascots]], but a character that ''was'' a whole board? Preposterous.
| |
|
| |
| Fast forward some years through multiple iterations of failed group projects, thread deletions, and moderate obscurity and you get to where we are today: a vast and rather unorganized collection of scribbles, fiction, and even cosplays that portray the various boards of 4chan as anthropomorphized characters living out their crazy lives.
| |
|
| |
| Some thought it brilliant, and others equated those people to fanfiction-loving scum. In the end, it's a matter of [[skub|taste]].
| |
|
| |
| The -tan suffix is a [[weeaboo]] holdout, in the vein of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan#Tan_suffix OS-tan] characters.
