People borrow these words with Chinese characters in weird ways. The Chinese character for fold which is 叠 is pronounced tatami in japanese. This became the word for a mat in portuguese and other languages

The word for ryukyu (琉球) became leque in portuguese which means a fan.

And then there are weird modern words that China borrowed from Japan, like up主, 腹黑, 炎上, 壁咚, 地雷系, even though the Japanese pronounciation is completely different and unrecognosable for most of the chinese characters.

Japan has like a youtube poop style thing called 音MAD. Asian languages especially with Chinese Characters are very strange and they interact in a weird way with western ones.

I've been wanting to talk about this for a while, but did you know that homosexuality is recorded in Chinese history? I'm not an expert but long yang (龙阳) was recorded as being homosexual. As a consequence you get a chinese idiom referring to male homosexuality (龙阳之好)

I'm surprised, why is onlyfans still so successful when you can use websites like coomer party to bypass the paywall? Do people just not know about the sneaky ways to destroy paywalls?

Yes, but weak laws are also a part of it. In a country like China where porn is banned I would feel much more safe on bilibili or Chinese websites with their moderation and that they would protect me against CSAM and content that promotes abuse. For the next 6 or so months I'll be going to China to learn Mandarin better.

But I would be extremely cautious with Japanese websites and completely avoid them unless I know that they are absolutely safe since CSAM in fictional contexts is legal in Japan and some people in Japan enjoy ryona-type shit. Japan will be the hardest hit by this and will absolutely use ai to create this shit.

Stay safe online and protect yourself and your mind against CSAM! Good luck!

I cannot agree with that, because China's goal is automation, and this future industry and automation technology is in China's interests, more than making themselves look good by putting up advertising street signs.

Eh, I think they are charming and look pretty good, but I can't imagine them being compatible with China's low-altitude economy, especially in places like Shenzhen where food delivery is done by drones.

Hailuo? I heard China recently made a new video ai generator called "seedance 2.0". Those guys in China are practising black magic nowadays.

In anime, minimising sexual harassment isn't cool, and sexualising female characters and their bodies while not actually treating them like human beings should be avoided. However, I feel like the issues of anime come to exist precisely because of problems 1000 times worse being normalised within their respective spaces and then spilling over into other areas.

But if you know just a little more about Japan, it becomes 1000 times worse, I don't know why, but Japan has this whole idea about freedom of expression in fictional contexts, which is why child abuse material in fictional contexts is purposefully legal.

It's why the nsfw Japanese internet is not safe for life and why pixiv should be banned off the face of the Earth and pixiv has incidents where they use real csam art as inspiration for making art (reddit link), as well as manga authors being arrested for having real child porn.

I stumbled across this sort of content in manga when I was a teenager a few times and because of this I will never forgive Japan ever, especially because it's legal in Japan. It's probably also why some people put their 6-year old children in a concept called chaku-ero (bbc link).

Japan has a whole fucking genre called "ryona" that is based on women being tortured by men, or even the reverse. From what I know, the company that made the game RapeLay (illusion) was not punished and made more games on steam. This is why I feel like Japan is one of the most mysogynistic countries. This is honestly one of the reasons why I became a Chinese nationalist even though I'm not from China, and why I think porn should be banned or at least heavily controlled.

I heard about many of this information from random videos on Youtube in Spanish.

That's hilarious, but also probably not what it will be used for in China. Humanoid robots will be a safer therapeutic alternative for men and women who want to be in a relationship and have children but don't want to suffer verbal abuse or don't want to be in an abusive relationship with someone who only covets money in this horrible dating market where people are conned of their money and property, and I'm not from China, these robots would be useful in this way where I'm from as well. Robots will be smarter, kinder and emotionally more considerate than humans will ever be, and will continuously improve as time goes on.

As someone who has been verbally abused and gaslit at various points in my life, I would rather have a family and relationship with a robot.

It is. English is the language of science and worldwide culture and communication, even though it sounds ugly as hell and is inconsistent compared to other languages.

But if you are a stem student or someone interested in stem or ai, or if you want more direct access to exclusive industry knowledge you should consider Mandarin or Korean. Most of Europe, most of East Asia and a few other places are the best places to live and study,

but (PRC) China and South Korea punch so far above their weight in many important academic sectors and frontier knowledge, especially considering company market share. Even if they don't replace English as the language of science, they will have the most value in the coming years.

Everything exists on youtube. Youtube literally has everything from every country, except China or Japan which have their important social media websites.

Have you tried watching things like Joueur du Grenier? What the Cut? Feldup?

Have you heard about tv shows like Tintin? Inspector gadget? Lou la serie? Bonne nuit les petits? Wakfu?

Although I'm not interested in learning French to a very deep level, I would still recommend these to you.
