>>2890"Politics is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group. It refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance—organized control over a human community, particularly a state."
You must first see /jp/ as it's own non-physical state, with counties (2d mascots) fighting for dominance.
This community is mostly made up of men who have time to think freely, unadulterated by many wage workers.
Now, most popular touhou will get their own thread/s, which will be governed, and controlled and defended by devote believers in their currently self elected best 2d girl.
You could call this a political party.
Now, people will start terf wars, often wanting to expand the amount of threads per their elected girl, and share disapproval in rivals threads.
Now best girls aren't only picked for their looks, morals and beliefs take a factor as they do with real leaders.
Anyways /jp/ is like /pol/ but cut off from the real world, a perfect representation of peoples forever differing beliefs and taste, and the endless war they provide.
All this but without the horrid effects of electing real officials who are always flawed, but within a community that still feels it's effects.
