I've been wondering now for awhile what the whole....'issue' about people using Japanese is.
Sure..it's mildly annoying when done too much. Or at the wrong times. or spelled wrong. But...WHY do so many people get SO pissy when people do it? A friend of mine does it. A lot.

"Isn't that cool?"
"Yeah! SUGOI!"
"..Ah..haha yeah.right."

It's kind of silly..but that's it. Some people act like anytime anyone says it it's like their pissing on their mothers grave or something. I've seen people on DA ignored by an artist for a comment like 'kawaii!'.
What the fuck is that about? They like your art. They might be stupid, but so what?

I do study japanese, and maybe it should offend me more..but fuck that, anime inspired me when i was younger. It's not my only reason now. In fact I stopped for quite some time and picked it up again because I was honestly interested in the culture (more importantly the mythology.).
BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE THE JAPANESE USE ENGLISH ABOUT 100x MORE THAN FANGIRLS USE JAPANESE.
(Regardless if they mean to or not. There are English words, and now common words that the Japanese didn't have at the time. Not sure why they renamed baseball though. I enjoyed hearing basubaru.)

....
NOT TO MENTION ENGLISH IS A LANGUAGE OF BUTCHERING OTHER LANGUAGES. CAPSLOCK.
...But seriously.
If you wanna bitch about fangirls using japanese. Bitch about how every single one of our days is named after a fucking norse god. THORS DAY. GETTIT? ... (And or other pagan deity. Monday=Moon dei Sunday..is fairly self explanitory. XD)

English is the love child of Latin and old German. And we've been absorbing other languages and words and making it our own for yeaaaars.

There's an episode of the simpsons that brings the point home, when they were in Italy and someone yells Vendetta! and Marge pulls out her little italian dictionary and says
"Vendetta is Italian for....VENDETTA!!"

Think about your own name for a second. The most popular names in the United States (And i'd obviously assume other English speaking countries..) are BIBLICAL NAMES...as in ...Ain't from around these parts...
James. Jacob. Joshua. Jesus. Mary. Aaron. Adam. Hannah/Anna...Must i go on? (Please don't make me. there are WAY too many J names)
And guess what. Pretty much none of those we say correctly. Because we like to butcher languages.
We turned 'Yeshwa' into Jesus. "Yasmeen' into Jasmine.

Just next time you see some...13 year old girl using the word 'kawaii' about Jacob Black (n' his rockin bod' Don't get mad. encourage them to learn more Japanese. Nothing is wrong with wanting to learn another language. Say something like, 'Do you know how to say that in a complete sentance? If you don't I can show you.

And think that they are just upholding a long standing english language tradition.

(And preferably hate them for their character, not that they occasionally use a nonenglish word. Cus' hun. we all do. )



.....And I apologize for that needlessly long rant about absolutely nothing important.XD
