Welcome to Hell.
Due to the content wars on /d/, as well as the unending battle against the NSFW content that tempts many anons to post on the theoretically worksafe /co/, one of Mootwo's first acts was creation of this board.
Being the 4chan equivalent of the /pco/ (Promotions) from other chan-based imageboards, /aco/ - Adult Cartoons is the board for content of a pornographic nature which is "Western" (defined on 4chan as "Not Japanese") in origin.
Within short order, the first historical moment of the board was written as furry porn was banned (to the point of even anthropomorphic animals, eliminating a very large chunk of potential Rule 34 content and unintentionally earning the ire of the /co/mrades it was supposed to appeal to), and the second historical moment was written as futas rapidly became a frequently posted genre on /aco/ (as they are on /d/).
Overview[edit | edit source]
/aco/'s original intent was to become the western counterpart to /h/ (4chan's "normal" hentai board) and the NSFW version of /co/. However, it quickly became settled by numerous exiles from /d/ who had found that Western art was no longer tolerated on /d/ as it had been in the past. (While there was a rule forbidding Western art there, it was rarely if ever enforced until /aco/ was formed.) As a result, /aco/ has accommodated a schizophrenic mix of cast-off /d/eviants, /co/mrades of an adult bent, and people whose fetishes just aren't catered to by Japan enough to have threads elsewhere. So far, these populations have managed to tolerate each other but it's anyone's guess as to how long it will last.
The creation of /aco/ was rather fortuitous for /tg/. After the mod-pocalypse actually enforced /tg/'s blue board status, and purged NSFW content from /tg/ threads starting around 2014, /tg/ had become a more sullen place. Without a place to post Warhammer smut and lewd /tg/-related art, the /wsg/ - Warhammer Smut General master thread popped up on other red boards like /d/ and /h/, but was barely tolerated. However, /aco/ was created as a space that encouraged western-style art (which most 40K smut is), and needed new content. After years of wandering, the creation of /aco/ finally gave /tg/ a new home for their lewd thread!
As of 2022, /wsg/ continues to thrive on /aco/.
