I prefer “How do you do, Ken?”-ing and “Sorry you Ken!”-ing…
This was the best thing I’d seen all day, until I saw this:
…and this is just true love:

Otaku when they learn about Kogal fashion:
We had this in the west as well when I was a kid. It was called fus-ro-dahing or something.
Oh god, skyrim is 14 years old
We had hadokens before Morrowind, let alone Skyrim, when I was a kid. Street Fighter was pretty popular.
Way better than the fad of throwing jugs of milk in grocery stores.
You’re goddamn right.
This quiet offends Slaanesh, things should get LOUD now!
Nah, man. This is likely Khorne for the old battle bugle
Fake, she’s not even blowing on it.
I need a dramatic close up on a bystander who gasps in surprise before announcing “She’s not even blowing into it!” followed by the close up of the shooter saying “That’s right, I have gone BEYOND the need to blow into my instrument of destruction!”
Shes using an advanced technique common in bass instruments known as “slapping.”
I’ve never seen this but it feels at least 10 years old
In Japan, it’s rather old and I haven’t seen anyone doing it lately (though I admittedly barely touch any SNS, though watching my wife browse insta, I’ve never seen it).
And seen multiple people using it, not just Japanese.
I’ve never seen this specific photo, but it absolutely was popular ~2010.
Tubas and trombones were popular choices among band students
Yeah, it has real ‘Early 00s
SmartphoneCameraphone’ vibes
I was there Gandalf, I was there three thousand years ago…
Darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every meme was as long as a life age of the earth…

I thought that was when you just spammed ranged attacks?
Is this the next Hibiki Euphonium series?
If japs didn’t exist, they should be invented.
FUCK OFF WITH THE RACIST SLUR
Are you aware that’s a slur?
I’m italian and in Italy that’s not considered a slur. It’s more telling someone they’re funny or amusing.
In english there’s a similar sounding word that means a joke or something done in jest, Jape with a long a
You really need to use your hands more so we know you’re Italian. 🤌
When written, Italian does look a lot like English then.
Not the sentiment, the word used for Japanese people. Saying “if Japanese people didn’t exist, they should be invented” would be totally acceptable.
It can be hard to avoid slurs in other languages though, especially when English has so many. My husband’s not a native English speaker and it comes up maybe every other month that he’ll say something and I’ll have to tell him to avoid that word or only use it in one specific usage. I’ve only been corrected/gaped at for inadvertently using slurs twice in over five years living in Germany, for comparison.
Ok, now I get it. I didn’t use “japs” as derogatory, obviously.
Yeah, it is an easy mistake to make. Generally abbreviations/diminutives for nationalities are insulting (Brit excluded)
