Your name in Japanese

[Dewgong]

I will never forget how much I love this thread.

... Karaoke, dammit. Well, you people don't pronounce it right.

The pronunciation of that word has always bothered me. People kind of made the word into (Kair-i-o-ki). Kair like Care.

I don't mean "you" as in "you, ArtificialFlavor", but "you" as in "you white people". The same way we get called yellow and, er, African(-Americans) get called "black", though that's almost true for some of the darker ones.

well we could say 'light beige', 'beige with a slightly yellower complexion' and 'varying shades of brown' but that's a mouthfull.
Anyway I've never heard anyone say 'yo check out that yellow guy', I've always heard Asian but I dunno :v

Why is everyone throwing a shitfit over mistranslated Japanese anyway. I see people make mistakes in French all the time but I don't go 'YOU FUCKING CUNTS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE OTHER TENSE NOT THE COMPOSITE PAST FUCKING WEAFRENCH FUCKERS JESUS TITTYFUCKING CHRIST ''AMERICANS/BRITS/RUSSIANS/MEXICANS/ATLANTIS-PEOPLE'' *EYEROLL*'
i like to imagine this exact thing is happening on a japanese forum somewhere with a 'your name in english!' thread and some guys are pissing themselves correcting them exactly like here.

Mmm.

By the way, I approve of the word "weafrench".

Except not many people give a shit about the French, and vice versa.

And I've put up with it all my life. I guess it starts to piss me off after a while. Kind of like the way people immediately assume all martial arts are "kuh-rah-tee".

But I'm not white. D:

Even if French is spoken by X% of people, nothing good ever comes from France or whatever.

why should they care about japan then
i mean france has produced and continues to produce many great things that aren't cartoons or martial arts
i mean those two reasons are the only ones as to why everyone luvs japan because no one cares about actual culture

[OrangeAipom]

Except weeaboos.

There's also cars and all that. And that stereotype that the Japanese take crappy American junk and improve it or some bullshit like that.
