/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What is Oskar saying? It sounds lewd.

>I think the Japanese version of that name ("Arisu") sounds really pretty.

Ugh.

>>9865270
I agree, but I would never say this.

Oh, I just did.

At least I still have "I'd never say it on Facebook."

>>9865280
It's not the "Japanese version" of her name. It's the only way they can say "Alice" in their limited syllabary.

>>9865287
I don't see how it's wrong to say that 「アリス」 is the Japanese version of "Alice."

I've seen mcuh better Alice pictures.
This whole motive is so uninspired

>>9865287
I think it's a reasonable simplification.

it really makes me upset that cool 2d things are made for normal people

because to them it's just like that angelo lopez dude said: 'so nice to look at'

we get to be socially fucked and he gets 'something nice to look at' because of our continued support of the culture

>>9865292
If you think about it, it is the japanese version of the name alice. Just like the spanish version of John is Juan. There is no way that english people can spell Juan with english, so they changed it to John.

>>9865300

not to mention that liking 2d shit is somehow 'hip' for normal people now, so there's that too

>>9865300
In which case, we've come full circle. Those cartoons and comics weren't originally made for weirdo otaku because weirdo otaku didn't exist yet.

I get what you're saying but I think it's a little hypocritical. Touhou, of all things, isn't a secret club. I'm sure plenty of ordinary people in Japan enjoy it, so why not in the West?

>>9865322

the japanese audience created the demand for the actual content

westerners didn't really do anything other than fart up their sweat pants and passingly go 'LOL COOL PICTURES VERY PRETTY'

i mean, isn't it fucking stupid that one minute anyone who likes 2d stuff is a social pariah, and the next they decide it's time to cash in on the culture and that it's 'hip' to do so?

>>9865346
paying attention to anything normalfags do or say is a recipe for unending sadness. it's best to just do whatever you want.

>>9865300
First off, you're most likely not supporting anything, you're just a leech. And it is a pretty pleasant picture, are you disagreeing with that? Finally, you being "socially fucked up" is your problem, no need to somehow link that fault to others who don't care about you. "2d" isn't your secret club.

>>9865300
Sounds like you only like something because you want to be known as the guy with the cool unknown hobby.
There's a term for this, you are a hipster.

If you really like something take it easy and disregard what society things

Why would you even post a random Touhou picture on Facebook? Because you want attention?

>>9865366
I thought Facebooks only purpose is to get attention by random people.

>>9865366
why would you post random touhou pictures in /jp/

or, for that matter, blog updates

>>9865362

you type like someone i'd find on gaia or some other outlet for normals, so i don't really find it surprising for you to be defending them

>>9865381
No, what you're accusing him of doing is being from Gaia or some other outlet for normals because he's defending people you don't like. You fucked your cause and effect.

>>9865382
to share pictures with people in return for them sharing pictures with me

>>9865388

no it's definitely the thing i said

what with the 'first off,' 'and' and 'finally'

people who have been on the internet for a long time don't write like that

>>9865398

fuck off with my grammar structure, shitloin

this thread is a fucking failure.

You're a master of irony, I'll give you that.

Leave Peter Payne alone, guys. If it wasn't for him, 4chan probably wouldn't still be here.

>>9865418

it would

maybe not in this form

Why is everyone (sorry, the two fighting guys, not really everyone) so buttdevastated over a 2hu picture JLIST posted on facebook?

Why are you even surprised?

is that crino?

>>9865423
Cheezburger presents: 4chan.org! All your epic lulz, daily.

>>9865427
aren't there enough shitty meme websites already though?

>>9865427

sure, it might've been worse

might've been better too

The comments aren't actually retarded at all. This makes me happy.

What's with the Pole?

Should I be angry at the "Arisu" or at the girl who wants to cosplay her?

>>9865448
Why would you be angry at either? I don't even mean this in a strictly "take it easy" way. "Arisu" does sound pretty neat, and it is how her name is pronounced in Japanese (as people ITT have discussed).

I don't see why the cosplay thing should bug you, either. We simply don't know enough about Envi San. Maybe she's a fat weeaboo who thinks Touhou is an anime. Maybe she's a dedicated fan and does good cosplays.

The thing that bothers me about this screenshot is that, going by the top half of his picture, OP is about 15.

>>9865467

the cosplay makes me angry because she is clearly only leaving the comment to show that she is a cosplayer and demonstrate how 'otakool' she is'

ps. stop being an ageist shit

>>9865467
>>9865471
Actually the fb post was originally by J-List. Who cares how old OP is; he's obviously mentally stunted either way.

>>9865477
I know, but you can see OP's picture in the bottom right.

>>9865530
Sounds like a translation of some chain message people have ironically posted. He says no to all her things then comes back with better ones ("I don't like you, I LOVE you!" etc.) Then she gets hit by a bus. Maybe I'm getting confused.

You're delusional. There's a pretty wide spectrum between "secret club" and mainstream normalfag garbage. Posting Touhou on sites like facebook is retarded.

>>9865846
Srsly? 2hu is as mainstream as it gets.

>>9865846
There's no mainstream normalfag police that finds you and puts you in Facebook prison because you posted something on Facebook that wasn't mainstream and normalfag.
