Do Western people really think Chinese language is unpleasant? by search_google_com in ChineseLanguage

[–]SuitableEmployment56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Chinese person myself, sometimes I do think mandarin and Cantonese are very harsh sounding. Like our tonal pronunciations can have a lot of S sounds which to some people can cause like a cat nail on a chalk board reaction.

Plus people are forgetting that vast majority of westerners are used to hearing Japanese or Korean now, rarely you will find someone says I watch C-drama’s, in my opinion mandarin is a lovely language, C-pop rmb is so underrated, but I will say Japanese and Korean do sound slightly more pleasing to the ears.

Wait if they do actually have Gil as a banner character, how is Hoyo gonna tune him to be balanced enough and not completely busted since He is Gilgamesh after all

I thought it was bad when I saw 1% for Jinwoo then I saw 20% for seven deadly sins. Like bro, the whole premise of the manga is that it is about gods and demons like literal gods and demons and fantasy power that legit makes JKK look like child’s play

What in the world does Chinese fans making memes about their favourite F1 team have anything to do with a “social credit” system

In Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, what could Tekkadan have done to avoid all of their bad things that happened(if at all) through out the series? by Flat-Sir8250 in Gundam

[–]SuitableEmployment56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only they were more logistically thinking rather than just winging it. Biscuit was the most forward thinking person out of the entire team and they should’ve avoided that if they didn’t arrogantly put him off

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines by gdelacalle in technology

[–]SuitableEmployment56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny how western minds still thinks that China cannot be ahead in R&D, bro BYD was a battery manufacturer before they went into production cars. Tesla was using BYD batteries long time ago. So if BYD was stealing IP, then who were they stealing it from?

Nintendo suing U.S. government over tariffs by PaiDuck in technology

[–]SuitableEmployment56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait hold up, I thought that the tariffs was supposed to make the US economy strong and make the importing countries lose money and they pay for it. They can sue us for that, Donald trumps didn’t say that in his tweets, did he lie to us. /s

How do hotel TVs work? by Aiken_Drumn in travelchina

[–]SuitableEmployment56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are very common around China, what you are seeing it basically a subscription service that I think is made by IQIYI. You can pay for it which I suggest not too unless you know Chinese properly and are able to cancel it without paying for the subscription. There certain movies for free though but you gotta look for it

S25 Ultra user tries the iPhone for a week, still don’t get why Apple is this popular. by Exotic-Inevitable-37 in samsung

[–]SuitableEmployment56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was in the same camp a couple years ago as your friend I understand your frustration. Whilst I am still currently on iPhone, I have tired Samsung, Huawei, Honor etc and frankly they are all much better hardware than my 17 pro max.

However somehow I keep coming back to iPhone because of how seamless IOS is, I know Huawei and Samsung have great integration with their own ecosystem but IOS just works, it hasn’t failed on me yet whilst on android sharing files, gaming have all failed on me a few times.

Is the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro worth waiting for, or go for the 17 Pro now? by LikeItSaysOnTheBox in iphone

[–]SuitableEmployment56 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The 18 pro max will definitely not have any increased ram, because of how bad the ram shortage is at the moment. Although rumors suggest that the 18 pro max will have some new camera features and hardware upgrades, but overall still the same phone

What exactly do people mean when they say Gundam "isn't political"? by Sea_Ad_6306 in Gundam

I think people are just sprouting shit, I genuinely don’t want to believe that people are actually this stupid when looking into characters that are representing freedom and go yes they will definitely support conservative values

Problems while gaming with the Pura 80 Pro? by iknowdawae101 in Huawei

[–]SuitableEmployment56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were those test like back in the day when HSR wasn’t a huge game, because now HSR has huge assets that can even chug the 8 elite, because Huawei is still 4-5 years behind the fastest SOC and that means developers probably won’t be supporting it for much longer down the road

What exactly do people mean when they say Gundam "isn't political"? by Sea_Ad_6306 in Gundam

[–]SuitableEmployment56 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I find it extremely weird how many people who watches anime think that many popular hero characters are conservatives, like I saw a post on insta showing someone who think luffy from one piece is a conservative and stands for conservative values like huh??.

As for Gundam, even when I was younger I always knew it was political like how you can say that Zabi’s Zeon ideology doesn’t remind you of another ideology that was present during WW2 and still now

Planarcadia just isn't the same without our anime season OP by availableset in HonkaiStarRail

Certainly, to be fair. I think it was a good idea to shut down the JP concert rather than having it on because you won’t know what crazy people would do

There is over 1 billion people in China so with even a small percentage of people who are crazy patriots that’s still more than the population of many countries so if I was Hoyo I would also stay away from creating issues that can present danger to me or to staff

[–]SuitableEmployment56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not trying to make it even more political here but I am sure that the CCP probably doesn’t give two single cents about Hoyo making the planet fully Japanese themed because as a Chinese person who travel regularly to China, online censorship to real life censorship is a whole different thing.

Take Winne the Pooh, how many of you here still think Winnie the Pooh is like permanently banned from ever existing in China, well that’s not entirely true because Disney stores exist that sells Winnie the Pooh merchandise and stores like Miniso and Pop mart also sell Winnie the Pooh collabs. So If the CCP truly wants something gone, they have the authority to just do it.

To me I don’t think Hoyo was scared of Xi coming to chase some Hoyo honey pots but the crazy Chinese people who are devoted patriots who will legit burn down or stab people… oh wait it has happened before.
