/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So why is the Western VN translation scene so much more advanced than the Korean one? I thought they were godless capitalist pigs that are being oppressive.

That's what the Chinese "media" wants you to think. But ofcourse there's a shitload of chink weeaboos just as there are cracker weaboos

you guys are fucking idiots, If you can read Chinese you can read 60%-80% Japanese, the Japanese pretty much stole their entire written language from the Chinese.

a flood of ronery chinese bachelors and not enough girls for them. The logical choice is to resort to 2D...

There are actually a shitload of Chinese weeaboos. When I went back there to visit family there were a shitload of stores devoted to pirated anime, manga(yes pirated manga, they print it on cheap ass paper) and pirated VNs. They sell fan translated shit in copied official boxes and stuff.

it's easier to translate from japanese -> chinese
it's also easier to replace ingame text with chinese than it is to replace with english. since we spell out all our words, equivalent sentences take more space to write out in english, so you have to get a little creative with text insertion usually.

>>1292361
They do the same to American movies too, they just want money....

So to become better weeaboos and otakus we must switch our market system to socialism with Chinese characteristics?

Because VN is actually fairly popular in China?
FSN have an offical Chinese version. As in, approved by Typemoon and all that.

VNs are pretty big in China even though being an otaku or weeaboo is pretty looked down upon. For some reason shoujoai and yuri shit is REALLY popular in China and I remember they had this big ass event at a mall in Shanghai for Sapphism no Gensou with free gifts and shit.

why do Asians have the highest population again?

Why does knowing the fact that there are Chinese weeaboos out there make my blood boil?

>>1292374
God I love Harper's. Easily my favorite magazine.

>>1292402

Jealousy that they can learn moon easier? Or they jack up the demand curve and make figures more expensive?

>>1292400
7000 isn't really a good representative of the Asian population.

>why do Asians have the highest population again?
Because back when Chairman Mao was still alive, he wanted more people

To outlast America in a nuclear war

>>1292400
They breed like rabbits.

>>1292402

I really don't know seems pretty natural. There are more consumers of otaku culture throughout China, Korea, south and SE Asia, oceania than there are in Japan.

>>1292374
First article?

>>1292374
Cucumber made me lol.

>>1292402

You only realized this now?

...

Because software piracy in China is not forbidden, it's encouraged. I'd like someone to try and force a cease and desist order for intellectual property in motherfucking China.

>>1292417

I was encountering asian weeaboos of all kinds back before fansubs were downloaded off the internet..

besides, it helped to have an Asian connection back in the past...

>>1292428

Gaijins should create more original VNs.

>>1292431
Done.

>>1292361
I dont see the problem, i buy from that kind of stores sometimes, when im too lazy to download by myself.

>>1292429

Ah yes...I remember going back to HK and buying anime that western pigs wouldn't watch or know about for another 5 years on VCD subbed in Chinese and English. Good shit...

Yeah otaku culture is pretty mainstream in China
Back when I was in 3rd grade, our principal once organized a whole school excursion to watch Laputa

I remember before I emigrated here to the US seeing an anti-Japanese rally at my middle school with posters of DBZ characters shooting shit at Japanese flags. When I look back it made me lol...almost roflmao

>>1292443
And where did you go to school? I wish my elementary was that relaxed.

>>1292451
Shanghai, Yangpu District to be specific
I think my primary school have a yearly cinema excursion, I happen to remember Laputa most vividly.

Was funny too because the year after we saw Laputa they put Nadia on TV, and while I was watching it I was like, hang on, I remember a movie like this...

You know what is funny...if you talk to a Chinese otaku about this shit and ask him if he hates Japan he'll say yes. And he will see no hypocrisy about it.

>>1292428
>>1292431
>>1292435
>>1292374
Wow, that was brilliant. I'll never look at pedophilia the same again.

>>1292474
I don't see what's so hypocritical about it. I hate American foreign policy, does that mean I have to hate all things American?

>>1292486

They hate Japanese people and all things Japanese. They want to boycott Japanese products....Yet they want the Japanese loli and fappan shit.

>>1292474
All Chinese hate Japan thanks to WWII, and the fact that you can't get a Japanese person to admit a lot of their culture comes from China.

>>1292492
You're generalizing a bit there, seen as Japan is like China's second biggest trade partner.

As for boycott, they boycott everyone depending on the flavour of the month: USA, Japan, France, etc.

What Chinese love is to steal from Japan, not to love Japanese cultures.

Actually, the daily life of a guy in China is pretty similar to that of Japan. I guess visual novels are so popular because they can relate more easily.

>>1292517
I'd like to steal something from China in revenge as Japanese, but unfortunately there is nothing to deserve to steal in that country.

>>1292556
Because everything like language, and culture was already stolen?

>>1292556

Japan stole enough already

>steal something from China in revenge as Japanese

Ironic

>>1292562
>>1292563
Stupid Chinese who are confusing cultures with copyrights appeared.

>>1292484
I don't know whether the guy is right or if I just got trolled by a Marxist.

"Japanese stole kanji, so we can steal everything!"
Chinese claim it seriously.

>>1292582
The problem is not the idea that the Chinese originally made it. The problem is that the Japanese won't admit it came from China

>We're going to steal everything"
fix'd

We don't need reasons to steal from Japan, or any other country for that matter.

chinks please kindly leave.
