Russian image board worlds
Russian image board users have created numerous worlds on both OWOT and YWOT. Each of these pages are centered around a different topic, and presumably host different sub-communities, though all of them display similar styles of content. Russian worlds are some of the largest in the entire site, featuring ungodly amounts of conversations with the occasional art thrown in.
FP once described these Russian users as "the largest unified community across these text sites." They have existed since 2018 and are still around in 2025, though their activities have always been isolated to their worlds.
Worlds
"it's funny that the largest worlds [on OWOT] are owned by women and about gay sex"
All of these worlds are protected by FP using the Time Machine feature. Their names are censored so that the communities within them can remain undisturbed.
The contents of these worlds are mostly unknown due to them being written in Russian. Though according to an anonymous veteran user, much of the messages found within them are centered around erotic discussion of popular anime. ("Gay hero anime" is My Hero Academia, while "gay tennis anime" is probably Stars Align.) The anon speculates that users flock to these pages in order to escape Russian internet censorship, since YWOT and OWOT both render text in a format that cannot be read by spyware. They also believe that the following worlds are predominantly populated by female users, similar to the Manhatingzone, which also has an affinity towards homoerotic content.
The following pages were created from 2018 to 2020, and are still active as of 2025.
The large screenshots below were all stitched together by Rscr.
"Blossom"(Haikyuu world)
Dedicated to discussion of (homoerotic content relating to) Haikyuu.
The world was created on April 27th, 2018 and has attained 165,333 views as of October 2025.[1] For contrast, /main, one of the most popular worlds in the modern day, only has 53,652 views(though to be fair it only became active in mid 2022.)
According to FP, this is the largest OWOT world as of 2025. It is currently ~578 coordinates wide and 512 coordinates deep at its lowest point.
Mr.Guy would regularly explore this world during the pandemic, using a custom script to translate messages. Among the last messages he read from that time was "a really sad string of conversations about people being evacuated, and bombs going off, and power going out, and how few people were still visiting and giving updates on the world."
Detroit: Become Human world
A world dedicated to (homoerotic content relating to) the 2018 adventure game Detroit: Become Human.
The page was created on February 20th, 2019 and has been visited 124,483 times as of October 2025.
As of 2025, this world is ~195 coordinates wide and 100 coordinates tall.
MHA world
A world centered around (homoerotic content relating to) My Hero Academia. It is ~290 coordinates wide and 50 coordinates tall.
The page was created on March 23rd, 2020 and has been viewed 72,049 times as of October 2025.
YWOT Worlds
These are much smaller than the OWOT worlds, with the largest one only being 100 coordinates wide and 50 coordinates deep.
This is likely because YWOT doesn't have a teleportation system that would let users jump to the latest messages, so they tend to create a new world whenever the old one becomes too large to traverse. In OWOT, on the other hand, worlds are allowed to grow indefinitely without becoming unwieldy.
