/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I want to make an appreciation post for all Holomembers trying to speak a language that is not their native tongue.

I want to give a positive message to everyone who doesn't care about the language barrier and tries to get their point across to the other party the best they can.

I want to praise Mel, who seems to be always in the front lines when interacting with someone from HoloEN despite not having the best English knowledge.

I want to praise Ame for having many collabs with JP members despite not knowing much Japanese.

I want to praise Subaru for doing her best to accommodate her overseas fans in basically every streams she does.

I want to praise Calliope for her English teaching streams and for her many projects in Japan in general.

I want to praise Iofi, who is basically the emblem of a bridge between languages.

I want to praise Towa for recognising that language barriers don't matter especially when you have a common interest.

I want to praise Kiara for not giving up in face of difficulties and always being a beacon for both Japanese and overseas fans.

I want to praise Moona and Pekora, who are maybe the most iconic duo when speaking of smashing language barriers.

I want to praise Holostars for, well, everything. Tenma does a lot of English learning, Aruran made me discover Holostars through his gratuitous Italian, Astel is a bro for putting everyone in line no matter where they come from and so on.

I want to praise everyone who I didn't mention yet, because honestly everyone deserves it in one way or another, but I want to especially give my praise to Haachama.

As she went to Australia, I too went to a foreign country to study without knowing much of the language, and I too struggled. I was confident, but quickly that confidence turned into disappointment and then into shame. I felt inferior to everyone else there and I could feel the mockery that was sometimes coming my way. But hearing of her adventures, I felt like I wasn't alone and, most importantly, it made me realize that even if my experience was, quite honestly, not the best, it still brought me something, it made me somewhat better.

Seeing the effort that everyone in and outside this list puts motivates me to do better, to put the effort to become the person I want to be
