>>301257The problem is that there's nothing inherently shitpost enabling about /v/. Videogamea are just as legitimate as anime and (prior to the middle of generation vii, around 2008) honestly cut from the same cloth regarding its userbase.
Honestly when you look back at the history you see a lot of parallels and where things diverge. 4chan was created during the late 90s early 00s anime boom, and /v/ was created early on in the middle of the PS2/Xbox era. Then the two mediums went different ways. Anime got less popular both in the west and as a whole, while mainstream media latched onto videogames and made the medium generally shit and popular.
/v/ is bad purely because of its size, and measures taken to reduce its size would reinvigorate it.
