Talk:Rebecca Black

WHY DOES THIS ARTICLE EXIST?! WHY DO WE DIGNIFY THIS WHORE WITH THE LEVEL OF ATTENTION?!

This song fucking cracks me up every time I see and listen to it.

You are now hearing Borale singing this song. Manually. - Jaimas 12:28, 21 April 2011 (EST)

How dare you sully Captain Boreale's honourable name, Jaimas!

Honestly, I COULD NOT stop laughing when I saw people posting the lyrics in Boreale-related threads. One of the highlights of it. Wish to fuck I had saved an image or two from it. - Jaimas 04:20 AM, 24 April 2011 (EST)

And thus, Boreale is now responsible for moar cultural phenomenon. Ain't he the best faws commandah evar?
Serious dog 05:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes he is. Though, 'Captain'. Speaking of which, which company did he lead anyway?

Relic didn't say. The only thing known is that he led 5 companies into Kaurava and served in the Blood Ravens 3rd company during his regular days.
Serious dog 07:33, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

According to Cyrus in Chaos Rising, (assuming he's the heretic) Boreale led 3 companies in Kaurava. Of course, Cyrus' betrayal is non-canon, so yeah.

It's actually strange he said 3 companies, considering it's mentioned in Boreale's bio that he led 5 companies.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T TYPE "R" IN GOOGLE. Ragnasal 16:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

He's right. I tried it, and now my soul is dead Munch munch 03:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

All I get are statistical computing stuff.
Serious dog 04:01, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Me too. But my mind asploded Munch munch 04:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Tzeentch gave me the ability to divide by 0 after seeing that.

The Purge begins

The original Youtube video was taken down in mid June by Ms. Black herself over claims of copyright violation.

Too bad, I constantly use that video to rickroll people. Ohh well, we still have this: minus the hilarious video. Also, I think it was because Rebecca Black had enough of the millions of growing hate already.
Serious dog 01:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

The lulz cannot be stopped. -- Jaimas 02:36, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Distant Ancestor

Wait a minute. Isn't Rebecca Black from the 3rd Millennium while Indrick Boreale is from the 41st. Wouldn't that mean that Rebecca Black is Indrick Boreales distant ancestor rather than daughter? ilniaj

The whole article is just a big joke anyhow, so don't think about it.--Newerfag (talk) 02:23, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The warp works in mysterious ways.--Boss Ballkrusha (talk) 02:24, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Mother, then. Although, I'm still confused as to how a video made for the benefit of someone's family should get to be so widespread. Shouldn't private shit stay private?

Does this meme even have any relevance now?

Call me a cynic, but it's shit like this that makes 1d4chan seem detached from what /tg/ actually is. I can assure you that if you made a thread about her now, not a single person would know who you're talking about. Shouldn't "/tg/ history" be something whose absence would actually be noticed by the board as a while if it had never happened? The fact that the article itself seems to be forcing the meme by having it piggyback off others which fa/tg/uys actually care about doesn't help, and above all it's just not funny: the jokes boil down to forced comparisons and "it's shit because I say it's shit". Twilight's article was deleted despite having marginally more relevance so why does this one get special treatment in spite of its even lower significance? We're better off without it.--2600:1003:B015:4F4A:1788:F740:40A7:CF7A 20:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, the Twilight piece shouldn't have been deleted either. This relentless Orwellian ADHD-addled purge-a-thon has got to stop. --Furore23 (talk) 01:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Articles not relevant to /tg/ do not belong on the wiki. There's nothing Orwellian about it. Neither an old meme nor a half-baked romance series are /tg/-relevant.--Asorel (talk) 03:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

And no, "something happening" is not enough to warrant something being recorded on the wiki. 1d4chan is a database for useful content to fa/tg/uys. If you want to reread some shitty thread from days gone by, go to the archive.--Asorel (talk) 03:19, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Even as pure humor, it falls flat on its face because it just sounds like someone whining about how awful she is and assuming that's enough to be considered funny. How it even got off the ground in the first place is a mystery to me.--Newerfag (talk) 05:34, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

You're both wrong, and clearly stupid, but I'm tired and bored of this, so you 'win'. Congratulations on shitting the place up still further.

In other words, your only argument for keeping the page was tradition and inertia, and now that it's been exposed as being unfunny garbage you can't do anything but spew out ad hominems and boast about how you know so much more about what belongs on this wiki than anyone else does. Congratulations on proving yourself the true cancer.--2600:1003:B001:B991:6BD8:E6EB:2165:23F5 18:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Considering our rulesets are relative, like the statement above, arguments in future articles are just going to boil down to a mob rule version of democracy, rather than a universally agreed-upon decision that shuts up both sides. Tactical Mehren (talk) 15:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

All the more reason to redo the rules so they have some objective grounding behind them instead of having to repeat the same fucking debate over and over again without fail. Relative rulesets are worse than no rulesets at all. --2600:1003:B001:B991:6BD8:E6EB:2165:23F5 18:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the mob rule -- I would figure that, as memes fall out of favor, we shouldn't erase whatever articles or content are devoted to them -- we don't delete articles about previous editions of games even if nobody (or only a slim minority) plays them anymore. (I suppose this leaves the question of whether Rebecca Black and Twilight rose to the level of "deserving" an article in the first place.) --Not LongPoster Again (talk) 23:53, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I believe the latter point is the one under the contention. Even when new, neither article was very /tg/-relevant.--Asorel (talk) 23:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

For Twilight, it was (some time ago -- haven't seen it lately) frequently used to launch world-, game- and novel-building discussion threads -- something to the effect of "Every day you're not writing your novel, Twilight stays on the best-seller list." It probably wasn't as discussed on /tg/ as it would have been on /lit/ or what have you, but it definitely made an impression --Not LongPoster Again (talk) 17:00, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I haven't been browsing the board long enough to see that sort of thread, but I'll take your word for it. Makes sense, but that's a role easily filled by any fiction that's notoriously, horribly bad.--Asorel (talk) 18:34, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Many moons ago, all the squats were eaten by tyranids, do they still deserve a page on /tg/, I believe so, Rebecca black Almost performed exterminatus with her song, does she still deserve a page on /tg/, most definately, education is the best prevention --Darkpaladin (talk) 11:12, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Give it a rest. For the last time, 'board history' is not grounds for keeping a page. One of the many archives can fulfill that purpose for you, and you can autistically sperg about this irrelevant shit in piece. Melodrama about educating future generations doesn't do much to help your car either.--Asorel (talk) 11:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

^Considering we keep this around, that can kinda be challenged. Tactical Mehren (talk) 15:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd be in favor of deleting that page as well. What the wiki needs is a clear set of rules of what does and does not belong. Not necessarily objective ("This shit isn't funny" is subjective, for instance), but something to which one may point when adding the 'delete' tag.--Asorel (talk) 15:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

why did you delete that as well, these are all important pages that define /tg/ next thing you'll want to delete the page for FATAL --Darkpaladin (talk) 17:55, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

And who are you to declare that something is relevant simply because you say so? For a start, FATAL is actually a tabletop game which has been discussed on /tg/ more than a handful of times in the last 4 years. This page on the other hand was about a washed-up floozy that a handful of spergs screamed about for a couple of months before they found other things to rage over, and the few who still give a shit about her can't even describe their rationale for discussing her on /tg/ in the first place. For someone who hates her so much, you seem awfully interested in trying to keep her relevant long after any discussion of her has ceased.

How about you start a thread discussing her and see if she's really as historical as you think she is. If you're right, /tg/ shall vindicate you. Otherwise, you'll have conclusive evidence against this article's existence. Either way, the question will be settled.--Newerfag (talk) 18:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Started one [[1]] --Darkpaladin (talk) 21:47, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

The thread's about as stagnant as WH40K's plotline. 01:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

That's a resounding "fuck no", then. /tg/ has spoken, down the memory hole it goes. --Newerfag (talk) 07:35, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

That may be fair enough for this topic, but I wouldn't use a spontaneous thread as a test for the relevance of a topic going forward -- if you're looking for a threshold level of activity to make the decision, that's easy enough to fake. --Not LongPoster Again (talk) 19:27, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Muh History

If you want a record of board history, go to the archive.--Asorel (talk) 15:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

(Fixed the link.)

Also, there's a slew of fuuka/foolz-based archives out there that grab all posts -- the most complete active /tg/ archive has posts from 2013, on 4plebs, and desustorage is importing the foolz.us/archive.moe data (dating to 2011) -- keep an eye on their status here. --Not LongPoster Again (talk) 17:00, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Relocating.

Would anyone mind if I moved this into the meme page under a collapsible section? It never seemed like it deserved to get its own section to me and that'll stop any future edit wars and preserving the "history" behind it. -- Triacom (talk) 21:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

IMO, just redirect it to Heresy. Tactical Mehren (talk) 01:34, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
