of the many japanese loan words vtubing types like putting back into English sentences the one I absolutely insist you all stop doing is "black company", please realize how that's going to come off really wrong if said to someone who isn't an otaku!! I'm saying this for your own good!!!

this thought brought to you by me stumbling across a post that was obviously talking about the recent vshojo fallout but described the company that way and caused me to double take before realizing oh wait they're not racist they're just a fucking dork
Exactly why Yakuza Kiwami 2 translated the term as “sweatshop” instead lol. Much better descriptor with similar connotations
in the west you would just say company anyway
the bad working conditions and shitty c-suite are implied by default
