モデレーターまだ生きてるンゴ？
All I can say is that it’s Dragon Ball and Naruto mixed within some unfamiliar foreign cartoon. I can’t understand why Goku teleported from the toilet to the outdoors, as the context isn’t explained. So I don’t see what’s so funny about it.
We have a meme concerning Goku and poop already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzvn8_DIkPg
This is a recording of a man imitating Goku’s voice as he reads out a parody of a post featuring three mature men engaging in homosexual acts involving faeces.
One of the points where Japan differs from most other countries is that, due to its low crime rate and ethnical homogeneity, some expressions that are considered criminal or sinful in many other countries can be not deemed as such here. If you believe that preserving indigenous cultures is a good thing, I would like you to consider that Japanese culture should be preserved as well.
If the whole world were to start following a single set of rules, I believe it would make the vast majority of people unhappy. If their way of doing things is to be considered progressive, then I want to stay Noble Savage.
redditには不適切な発言を通報するシステムがあるじゃないですか？あれに対する対処は全部MOD（サブの管理人）がすることになってるんですか？それともredditそのものの運営自体が関与して発言を消したりできるようになってるのでしょうか？
運営からサブそのものが不適切と判断されてなくなったって事例は見た事あるんですけど、ルールを守らないMODはちゃんと処罰されるのかなって疑問に思ったので、訊いてみました。

Considering the alien on the right, it is reasonable to assume that the word エイリアン ("alien") is written there. As it's not showing the whole text, I can't tell if the rest is gibberish (alien letters) as well, so could you show me, if you don't mind?
What kind of an item you are thinking of? Does the "twin" means persons who've born from twin pregnancy, or just a set of 2 objects? Does the "spirit" refer to a supernatural, ghost-like entity, or to the mind of a living person? If the twin is object, it would go:
"The Twin Spirits" → 双魂 (sōkon)
"Synchronicity of The Twin Spirits" → 双魂同期 (sōkon dōki)
欧羅巴平鯛/ヨーロッパヘダイ consists of:
-
欧羅巴/ヨーロッパ - Europe
-
平/ヘ - flat
-
鯛/ダイ - sea bream
The details to be included on a gyotaku are not strictly fixed, but for example, this one contains the following information:
-
釣人 (fisher)
-
現認者 (witness)
-
[date in "Japanese calendar year/month/day" style)]
-
於 (in; where the fish is caught)
-
拓寸 (length of the fish as gauged from the gyotaku (in 粍, millimeter spelt in kanji))
-
目方 (weight (in 瓩, kilogrammes spelt in kanji))
-
[The species of fish written in large letters on the left]
In Japan, thanks to the health insurance system, all patients with dwarfism who respond to hormone therapy are able to receive treatment. I have ever seen only one person with dwarfism in my life, and that was a young woman I happened to spot in the street 20 years ago.
Currently, there are only two wrestlers left in midget wrestling in Japan. The number of people with dwarfism has fallen to such an extent.
Tokyo is not a city (municipality-level administrative division), but a prefecture named 東京都 (Tokyo metropolis; technically it is 都 to, one of 4 name paterns of prefectures consist of 都 to: 1, 道 dō: 1, 府 fu: 2, 県 ken: 43) Within Tokyo Metropolis, there are 23 special wards and other cities, towns and villages. While the prefecture covers only part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, it also includes the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands, which lie off the mainland.
Does the gilthead sea bream you fished have scientific name Sparus aurata? In that case, it has the Japanese name ヨーロッパヘダイ and it's spelt 欧羅巴平鯛 in kanji.
What you’re talking about is a form of bullying named 갑질 in South Korea, isn’t it? I suspect that in South Korea, the obligation for men to participate in the hierarchical society formed by military service is what prevents people from developing a sense of equality.
Japan was in a similar situation several decades ago, but in recent years this kind of power harassment has been on the wane. People who behave unreasonably because they hold a certain position in society are mainly found among the older generation and those with vested interests.
If you meant the context is for naming the countries in your story, Kogane/Shirogane/Akagane conveys more archaic and poetic sense but it isn't suited for components of compound words; meanwhile, Kin/Gin/Dou is normal way to refer those metals and isn't so elegant in itself, but it works well to make proper nouns combining some kanjis.
It can be difficult for someone who isn't a native speaker to capture the natural flow of Japanese compound words, so please feel free to consult if you're thought of this.

Gyotaku has a unique format. When following that format, it would look like this:
鯛
釣人 [your name]
Since the term 鯛/タイ (“sea bream”) encompasses several species of fish, if the fish you caught was a red seabream (Pagrus major; the most common species of sea bream in Japan), write “真鯛”. In other cases, if it’s a type of sea bream that has a Japanese name, I can provide it if you let me know.

If she have been raised within also Japanese community and the dialogue is given on the premise some Japanese people are there, I would make it like:
-
うちの甘えんぼさんは誰かしら～？
-
うちのふわふわな可愛い子はだ～れ？
-
誰が私の可愛いフワフワちゃんかな～？
The difference is that there is no expression in Japanese that compares the object of one’s affection to sweets. If you considered "cream puff" in figurative or some slang sense, it can vary somewhat though.
It depends on whether the character originally speaks English and you want to provide Japanese version dialogue for them, or the character is Japanese and speaks Japanese to begin with. Because the approaches to showing affection to pets and children differ quite significantly between English and Japanese. Even if you use a phrase that sounds like a direct translation of "Who’s my sugary cream puff?", Japanese people will accept it without finding it unnatural if the context is culturally Western.
Also, the way you say it varies depending on the speaker’s gender and age. So, if you could provide some information about the character who says this line, I should be able to give you an answer.
Although the highest number of foreign nationals committing crimes in Japan are Vietnamese, the level of hatred towards them appears to be lower than one might expect. It is true that there are some discriminatory comments directed at them online, but these are far more moderate than those directed at Kurds and Muslims residing in Japan as well as excessive Chinese tourists and resellers. I think Vietnamese are probably viewed more favourably than Koreans whose negative perception has been fading in recent years in Japan. As their high crime rate is thought to be due to shortcomings in the residency system, the situation may likely improve in the future by tightening of residency requirements. As a matter of geopolitical strategy, Japan needs to maintain good relations with them.
However, from a national perspective, given the size of the population, their content industry is entirely unknown, so it's difficult to grasp exactly what they are thinking and they're not managing to earn a positive image with it.
At least the Vietnamese people around me are more hard-working and capable than some of the useless Japanese people. Personally, I have a good impression of them.
They banned child gisaeng (Korean prostitutes) and implemented strict measures to control sexually transmitted diseases. Korea has a long history, dating back to ancient times, of offering women to rulers in this way. There were also many Japanese women who served as military comfort women. It is far worse that soldiers rape local women without providing prostitutes.
It seems you are trying to paint a negative picture by referring to them as ‘sex slaves’, but they did not suffer the kind of inhumane treatment that Black people endured as slaves at the hands of white people in North America.
In fact, since the US forces that occupied South Korea also used those ’sex slaves’ themselves, if you were from US, that would be a ’boomerang’.
It is dubious that the atrocities committed by the Japanese were more terrible than ones by the Western colonizers and former dynasties. For example, some Chinese claim that Japanese soldiers threw babies and stabbed them to death with bayonets in Nanking, but the Chinese themselves used to carry out a brutal execution method whereby they would cut the flesh from the bones of those who had defied the government, in 3,000 slices while still alive, didn’t they? Furthermore, they practised the horrifying custom of castrating men as if they were livestock—removing not only their testicles but also their penises—and deliberately stunting and deforming women’s feet for aesthetics. No matter how much the atrocities committed by the Japanese are condemned by the people who won’t even pay their respects to the victims of the tragedy that took place in Tiananmen Square on 4 June 1989, it seems to me that’s no different from the demons from Frieren lying that they have familial love among them to lull humans off guard before attacking them.
In fact, in Indonesia, Vietnam and Burma, Japanese soldiers who remained behind fought for the independence of those countries.
When you say ‘they are not viewed favourably in any respect’, isn’t that a sign that you’re either too poorly educated or have fallen too much for the propaganda of particular countries?
I won't hate someone because of he is a gaijin. To judge people with race is the most unintelligent action. If they are behaving in a way that is considered bothering others, unless it is illegal or done with malicious intent, I'll assume that there was no shared understanding in their homeland that such behaviour is bothersome, and that they are simply unaware of what is considered disruptive in Japan. So, despite being thoroughly put off, I'll pretend not to react.
Nope, we have sufficient population to work. It's just the slavers a.k.a. neo-colonialists want their slaves who can work for cheaper wages. That is the wrong path, as it leads to the concentration of wealth solely among the wealthy and hinders the distribution of wealth. Please think about it: Germany’s per capita and gross GDP has overtaken Japan’s, but does that mean people there are living happily?
What has happened in Western countries that have welcomed large numbers of immigrants in order to maintain their GDP, in other words, apparent prosperity? Their public order has been destroyed by rape gangs, and children are no longer allowed to venture far from home on their own, aren’t they? It is extremely difficult to prevent unlawful intruders crossing the land border, so their laws are based on the assumption that those who have entered the country without being screened well already exist in large numbers. On the other hand, in an island nation separated from the continents by a wider stretch of sea—not one as narrow as the Strait of Dover, which some people can swim across if they are willing—illegal entry is difficult; this makes it possible to rigorously screen those wishing to enter the country. It is not that they are racists who wish to keep their nation ethnically pure and are therefore reluctant to accept foreign workers; rather, they do not want to lose the security of their daily lives and the order of their society.
The reason people from the Third World seek to move to developed countries is that the infrastructure in their home countries is poor and they face difficulties in their living conditions. Have Europe and the Anglo America invested sufficiently to improve the lives of people in Africa and Latin America? Countries where are merely exploited cannot produce people with civility. Regarding Japan, she has provided proper support to East and Southeast Asian countries (though this is, of course, related to reparations for ww2), and as a result, the people there now can access non-exploitative workplaces and convenient living infrastructure in their home. What we should be striving for is literal coprosperity; it must not be exploitation carried out under the guise of coexistence.
To begin with, Japan was once far too welcoming towards workers and prostitutes from Korea, and there are still people who complain about it today. If we start indiscriminately increasing the number of ‘slaves’ now, we will definitely end up repeating the same mistake. What is needed now, rather than human workers, is progress in AI technology to assist with labour and reduce the workforce.

No. Rather she likes those girls in the context of identification. She says that she used to have the same hairstyle as her favourite manga character, and that her OC, "チャンド" (her avatar/sona/self-image in other words) is designed to incorporate her 性癖 (kinks/fetishes), including hairstyle and other features. Even if there were any sexual connotations here, it would simply be a desire to adorn herself with such a type of sexy image; it does not mean that she is seeking sexual acts with other women.
It would be ティカーニ.
In the orthography of Ahtna, <aa> means the long vowel [ɑː], which would be transcribed as アー in katakana.
Examples of foreign proper nouns being transcribed like アア are limited to cases where there is a phoneme represented by a zero consonant, such as [ʔ] or [ʕ], between two short vowels. Ahtna language has the consonant ⟨'⟩ [ʔ] but this is not the case it was spelt <tika'ani> but <tikaani>.
It is a fact that, statistically speaking, boys are at greater risk of death than girls. But in recent decades, the spread of medical care has led to a decline in child mortality rates in every country.
I searched population pyramid data of countries, but I haven't found, at the moment, countries where females outnumber males by the late teens.
Every time they label someone's remark or action without bad intention as microaggression, I wonder if they are deliberately trying to sow discord between different peoples. It’s not that people with certain attributions are shit; it’s just that nobody’s perfect, and everyone’s got their flaws somewhere.
I absolutely agree with your frustration at the overinterpretation of racism. However, given that you too decide that "yellow people" is a malicious term, please realise that you are in the same boat as them. It’s not that they’re malicious, they're just immature in civility. The most important thing is not to condemn one another, but to forgive one another.
The problem with this data is that it does not take into account the ratio of genders in the population. Human beings are designed so that more males are born than females, so if you were to apply the same criteria to university admissions, there would actually be slightly more men.
It caught my attention that despite the fact that the younger generation in China has been deliberately born with a higher proportion of boys, there are still more female university students in China. What sort of social context lies behind this?
It’s not weird. I don't think gaijin is a offensive word or slur. Though some people try word-hunting it, it is far worse to rebuke someone who is trying to communicate without bad faith. If you are non-yellow, they will not assume that you behave in the same way as Japanese people. Rather, I think they can be flustered by being struck up a conversation with them casually. Please don't feel hurt if that happens; they may be just shy. Have a nice trip!
