People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
I come from an era before widespread official anime translations, when the only name an anime show had was the original Japanese name. So that's still the paradigm I'm using.
Edit: Out of all the shit I post, I wouldn't have expected this comment to be the controversial one
Some names just stick to japanese, especially on streaming services. I didnt even know or care about what Jujutsu Kaisens english title was until someone brought it up here.
By that same token, im not gonna call Chainsaw Man "Chenso Man"
Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't have a different English name? The English volumes all say "Jujutsu Kaisen" on them...
To be fair, more people know the name "Boku no Pico" than "My Pico"
I dunno. I would agree but there's some anime where the Japanese name just sounds better and it's easier to say.
Kimetsu no Yaiba has a silky feel to it that's lost in the English translation "Demon Slayer" which sounds a bit corny.
Same with Jujutsu Kaisen which sounds a lot better than "Sorcery Battle" or "Technique School".
Shingeki no Kyojin sounds better but I never remember it as easily as "Attack on titan" and people always shorten it to the English acronym (AoT).
As someone who doesn't watch anime, I prefer the English names listed here, except for the second example.
I mean I'm saying Kekkai Sensen instead of Blood Blockade Battlefront. Sorry ProZD.
This guy clearly haven't read enough Doujinshi.
That makes sense, because if you were actually writing it in Japanese you'd write it with their characters, not English letters?
Oh sorry, I'll stop calling it NouCome, it's My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with my School Romantic Comedy, my bad
Beautiful.
Imagine being such a weeb that ProZD shoves you into a locker.
King Dragon sends his regards.
shoves violently and slams locker door closed
Locker-senpai, probably.
I mean it's all fun and games till supersentai gets involved
Look, I get where you're coming from, but Youjo Senki is just a better name than "Saga of Tanya the Evil". As a name it prejudges the main character and you go into it with preconceived notions. Also, I'll die before I say Laid-back Camp instead of Yuru Camp. That is all.
I watched it BECAUSE of the English title! Also Yuru Camp is the better title... YMMV?
Just use what’s short and convenient. Totoro, Laputa, Naushikaåäö, Howl, Ponyo, Kiki.
Agreed, if I wanted to be quizzed on my Japanese by the UI and posts I would load up Misskey.
The only exception to this rule is Tonari no Totoro. Everyone knows what movie that means in any language.
Yea but then I‘d just call it Totoro because everyone will still get it. Same with Mononoke.
Agreed, but it frustratingly makes the series Mononoke more difficult to talk about, because you always have to say "mononoke, not princess"
Good series btw
Mononoke Hime seems pretty obvious.
Only if you already speak Japanese, or are a weeb who's figured out that hime=princess
Mononoke seems fairly distinct.
I mean there is a show called Mononoke, but I guess the average person who wouldn't recognize that hime=princess probably doesn't know it exists
That's fair enough.
What does it mean
Fist of the North Star
What? I thought it was a code word for tentacle porn??? 😰
No it's one of like 3 things in Japanese that doesn't mean that. But it can be code for school girl porn which is what most of the rest of the language is.
What if the English name doesn't stick, so you've gotten tired of having awkward pauses when you try to use it and have simply accepted you're incapable of using the English-name of that show in a sentence?
Not sure this fits. The guy is clearly Korean.
The community's description plainly states that they allow tweets from anyone
Forget about the post fitting the community - the whole community itself doesn't fit Lemmy. Why are we segregating tweets? I'll bet the mods here don't even know why /r/whitepeopletwitter existed in the first place because if they did, they'd know we don't "need" it here. It's arguably worse if they don't know because they're separating tweets by race for no fucking reason
Seriously just delete this community and use microblogmemes or whatever. Can't believe this reddit shit got copied over here.
Just wanted to let you know that I hereby grant you a super like. My thoughts exactly. And well formulated.
The practical reason it exists is because a lot of Lemmy users are looking for a replacement to Reddit, so the first thing they do after signing up is try to find communities that match the subreddits they were subscribed to. If you create a community that shares a name with a popular subreddit, you're more likely to get members to join.
I agree with you for the record, the racially segregated communities has always been a bit icky and there's really no need for it on Lemmy.
at this point Twitter is so dead that the only good posts are archival anyways. maybe we could have c/TwitterArchives or something
I like microblogmemes. These guys have Dying Twitter:
There was a gold rush to copy every single subreddit over here yet they didn't copy the reasons they exist or anything that made them special. The fact that nostupidquestions is a general "ask anything" community is a great example.
So many communities on this site are just uncreative shells filled with archival posts from reddit. I find it both sad and annoying.
This place doesn't have enough traffic for No Stupid Question to be meaningfully different from Ask Lemmy yet.
It doesn't have the sidebar rules yet, either. "we'll narrow it down later" is a weak plan
I agree that just because ProZD's voice sounds like he even showers wearing a monocle and a top hat, doesn't mean that he's "white". That said, I think the post fits because the people he's referring to are probably white.
EDIT: Grammar edit
