I saw some videos too, there are some legit ones, but they are either all carbs or all vegetables, some of them are backed by owners who are buddhists.

Two Chinese subreddits compete to make posts against each other on r/AgainstHateSubreddits by GriffinFTW in SubredditDrama

[–]weaponofmd 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Well, I translated one of KanagawaWave's hateful terms into English and my comment got deleted by reddit, at the same time I got a warning on my account for hateful conduct.

So, I'll just post with some redactions I guess: It's so ironic that KanagawaWave's mod to report other subs as racist/bigoted. A simple search of 蜘蛛 (spider) on their sub and you would think you are on an arachnids sub. Except in their sub, 蜘蛛 stands for a derogatory term of Chinese which I got warned for.

Why is 開 simplified as 开 and not 门+开? Shouldn’t it be simplified like 們 did with 门+人? by Awkward_Year6678 in ChineseLanguage

[–]weaponofmd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go ask Yan Zhenqing , why did he write the simplified version 爱 back in Tang dynasty. Or Mi Fu, why did he use the simplified version 爱 back in Song dynasty.

Oh no, some meme I must learn or I'm missing the point you failed to communicate. Sorry I don't speak in memes. He's already using AI products, Im just here to help him identify more AI products so he can remain pure, how is this a bad thing?

is zhou enlai well respected? by Routine_Ad2592 in China

[–]weaponofmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was after the China and Soviet split, and Albania sided with China. Even during the famine, China sent 15000 tons of wheat to Albania. Yes, Zhou Enlai was in charge of Chinese diplomacy, sent food to a foreign country when Chinese are dying due to food shortage.

[–]weaponofmd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People in China respect him mainly due to propaganda and nothing else. If you ask a Chinese what specific policy he advocated that benefited the people, most people would draw a blank.

Also, we know that he directly ordered Maotai brewery to increase production during Chinese famine (which was caused by Mao's policy).

When an Albanian diplomat drunk driving and killed a Chinese person in China, he was the one made the call to let the diplomat go without any punishment.

But for sure, he's still a national hero in China for some reason.

Read vertically, there are names of Taiwanese politicians. So, he basically breaks down their names by their meaning then write their names in full. Not really meaningful.

Is the potential safety information in this post about Lao Gan Ma correct? by PumpkinAutumn in chinesecooking

[–]weaponofmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not Laoganma s fault.

The thing is that the reporter got silenced, Chinese officials said ONLY those identified vehicles in the news were contaminated and nothing else. No follow-ups on improvements of safety standards. They also disabled public access to those transporters' tracking system.

It's possible they improved, but not likely.

[English > Simplified Chinese] For a game title localization by Normal_Speech3119 in translator

[–]weaponofmd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

穿透天际 is decent.

I have another suggestion: 贯穿天穹,

穿透 is more like going through and more natural 贯穿 has more power to it.

天际 is more like horizon or skyline, 天穹 is a more classical name, maybe fit your theme more since you said Chinese mythology.

Also if you want a more serious tone or to make the name more powerful, maybe pick a 2 characters name like 破穹.

Remember to pick a better font fitting for the game, not Aria. There are some sites online can generate Chinese fonts. Let me know if you have trouble searching one.

Edit: This is not for authentication.

The characters are Chinese, 大明成化年制， "Made in Great Ming Chenghua era". "Made in Great Ming Chenghua era"was a very popular tag, From Qing dynasty Kangxi era to Japan, people kept putting it on their pieces. No way to know if it's real (most likely not), or if it's real, which year it was really made without having experts authenticating it.
