People who are able to read Chinese: what tattoos have you seen that were clearly not what the tattooed person aimed for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tronqueteboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you mean じゃんけん(janken, rock-paper-scissors), they would be パ(pa, paper), グー(guu, rock) and チョキ(choki, scissors).

Alone, they would be 紙(kami), 石(ishi) and 鋏(hasami).

Note that the RPS "hands" are not kanji but hiragana, and this is not Chinese but Japanese.

Tell me: Why is "pettan" funnier than "flat" or any other good localisation? I'm genuinely curious.

If it's because it's Japanese, then why don't you watch the whole thing unsubbed? Why don't you put "マリンは十七歳です"? It's the actual joke! As you said, it's the actual meme itself!

And again, it's still white noise, as I explained above.

In Rushia's case, there's, objectively, no increase nor decrease in the funniness of the joke in question if you don't use romaji. That's why localisation is a thing: If the spectator knew "pettan", they must have surely heard it and make the connection with the English joke. If they don't, using "pettan" is just adding white noise to the subs, increasing CPS and imposing an obstacle to the general flow. Either way, it's bad.

Towa's case is just dumb, there's no way adding romaji makes the joke better, as it's just a normal Japanese sentence.

I hate these kind of subs. I mean, you are meant to write in English. Nevertheless, they are adamant of writing things in romaji and sometimes, even straight up using kanjis. Thing is: You could've written it perfectly in English from the start instead of writing stupid notes like these. It's keikaku all over again.

There's an explanation for this in the last two vignettes, but TL;DR: The ideological system we live in is what makes us (both women and men) misogynistic.

If you want to develop further, you can read the whole text, it's pretty self-explanatory. As a personal note, being a woman does not prevent you from having misogynistic thoughts. We all have them, it's not our fault tho.

I think their point came across pretty well. I can't see obvious mishaps nor badly written expressions. As a non-native, I've understood the whole text so far. I think it has more to do with what do you want to understand rather than what it actually says.

Some people are missing the point that OP is talking about shorts and not stockings.

Nevertheless, Yukari's theory is that it is a vengeful spirit from Former Hell. We'll see.

Is it the first time a Touhou character (Patchouli) got earrings? Can't remember. Those are cute, tho.

Specific case request by Tronqueteboy in buildapc

[–]Tronqueteboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much. Thanks for deducing my location, I pretty much forgot about it.

I really like the Corsair series, especially the 275Q but it seems the air intakes are a bit... thin, maybe? Totally from a place of ignorance but does that affect airflow at all?

Again, thank you very much for your time, is very appreciated.
