  2. @davidahilljr I thought it was legit 2ch slang? Or is it a 4chan joke made to sound like Japanese?

  3. @feitclub @davidahilljr regardless of its origin, it's hard to deny that its usage in western communities is based on a racist stereotype.

  4. @__kaas_ @feitclub Yep. Racist stereotype, and "Engrish" adoption of katakana pronunciation.

  5. @__kaas_ @davidahilljr that's a sensible position.

  6. @feitclub @__kaas_ Also FWIW, its usage in Japanese is pretty much always to paint the user as creepy and disgusting. Without fail.

  9. @DragonReine It's almost never used here, and when it is, it's specifically to make someone look like a slimy cretin.

  10. @davidahilljr Your avatar is from a video game that appropriates Japanese pop culture. You and your followers are both guilty of this.

  11. @davidahilljr Also, why do westerners come to my country and impose their western ideals on my culture? Stop being cultural imperialists.

  12. @davidahilljr It's not based on a racist stereotype, it's taken from Azumanga Daioh, you history-less imperialist.

  13. @davidahilljr Can you stop using a "Dr. Genki" avatar? It's racist. It's based on Japanese stereotypes.

  14. @davidahilljr Can you stop infantilising the Japanese people, and stop getting hurt on their behalf because you don't think they are

  15. @davidahilljr capable of thinking for themselves? I'm sick of expats living in Japan trying to make it like their home country.

  16. @davidahilljr Why expatriate to Japan if you're just going to try to make it like home?

  17. @satensansan @davidahilljr Please stop. The 13th Amendment makes it illegal to own niggas like this.
