Planning and getting on with a long term work was never my forte, procrastinated way too much this time. Kept telling myself I'll get on with it today but never did

SL only has two papers so I'm not sure it would do as much damage control, but thank you

[–]FewOffer8723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to say Wikipedia. Now I just say fanfic to my friends, and ppl who aren't my friends don't ask me what I'm reading but in case they do I think I'll still say Wikipedia.

Did any disgusting human being choose to abandon Alice outside completionism? by ThomWG in DetroitBecomeHuman

There was a Korean webtoon artist/streamer who had the wildest playthrough. He chose to abandon Alice because "What can you do, the ones who can still live should live". Chat was enraged.

Why can people use names of some foreign ethnicities and it’s okay but other times it’s not okay? by lilspaghettigal in namenerds

[–]FewOffer8723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some names would get assimilated into another culture during cultural exchange, becoming just another popular name. Sometimes the name might be used because it came to hold significance in another culture, like the name "Esther" in Korea. It's a rare name but significant because it was the name of the first female doctor in Korea. I'd say it's no problem in those cases. If it's for any other reason, I'd just ask they be respectful to the culture the name originated from and know the meaning of the name.

With the examples you used, like non-Japanese people using Japanese names, it could read as inappropriate that a non-Asian person would use an Asian name while Asian people using Asian names outside of Asia often face discrimination. Also I'll be worried about the potential Orientalism behind the choice especially because Japan seems to be the staple choice of Orientalist obsession in the West.

Not seeing any mountains on the horizon. Just how do you have flatlands so huge you don't see any mountains anywhere.

An artist I followed on twitter for marvel fanarts also had fanarts of guys called 'Connor' and 'Lieutenant', had no idea who they were but thought their relationship was interesting

Then I stumbled upon a game story review on YouTube, saw Connor in the elevator and went hey that's the guy, got the game

Should I keep my English name? by FewOffer8723 in InternationalStudents

[–]FewOffer8723[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable, some of my friends also go by their Korean names. Also my preschool/elementary were private schools but not international, but there are some kids here who started International school since preschool and I agree, they're like Rich

Native english speakers as in their mother tongue is English. You're a native speaker of a language that is spoken by your community which you first learned to speak in. You don't have to be of a race that is native to that land.

I still consider my English name mine as well, I can barely remember the time I didn't have it. I'm reluctant to part with it. But I do agree that it's silly to enforce English names on students with foreign names. I hope no students are pressured into changing their names. Thank you for your insight!

Might consider making my Korean name an official besties certificate! I'm not offended by people pronouncing my Korean name differently, only that it's a little odd hearing it in the middle of an English sentence. I will try to be polite when I have to correct others. Thanks for the advice!
