But he's 34, used zoomer lingo, got butthurt about criticism and argued with people on an online manga forum, all while using his age to justify it. So, why can't I? I can tell you are still young and don't realize that people can have fun online reading and chatting about manga and teasing people even in their 40s, look forward to it, it's great.
he wasnt using zoomer lingo in his regular speech unlike you lol. Why can't you use your age to justify yourself? cause you're obviously not 40, lol. I'm actually 50, that's how I can tell
Well, thanks for the compliment, makes me feel younger. You might want to work on recognizing facetiousness.
You didn't recognize my facetiousness? Of course I'm not 50, you goofball
I'm not replying to your comment.. Why did you suddenly attack me? This forum is for this series and it's lore not for language debate.. Even tough sometimes it's wrong we already know what that's really mean so you did not have to be mad about it.. If you have any problem with the scanlation just leave one comment and that's it.. If you didn't agree just settle the rest privately with the scanlation group on discord or something.. If you can't just respect other opinion just shut up.. If you want to argue about language just go to the language forum or something not there..
The issue isn't whether you're replying to my comment in particular or even to comments of a sort in which mine is included.
Because your comment was unreasonable.
This forum is for comments on the associate scanlation. That is why, if the same instalment receives a different scanlation, it will have a separate forum, rather than each instalment having only one forum. The forum for the series more generally has a link in the title entry. People arguing here about language are more specifically arguing over whether the scanlation itself has got the language wrong.
Rizz comes from the middle of the word "charisma" and was popularized by the twitch streamer Kai Cenat, along with the actor Tom Holland. It is Meriam Webster's word of the year, meaning something like "the power to attract other people, or actions that make you attractive to others." I'm very loosely quoting America's national public radio, which also made it seem like the word was popular all over the english speaking world. Finally, idek what the hell gyatt means, I don't have enough "hello fellow kids" energy to figure it out.
I just don't suffer stupidity. If I actually make a mistake, (spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc.) I own up to it straight away. The problem is I don't think I made a mistake- I've explained my reasoning, in detail and still have people saying "Uh, NO. Slang bad." (essentially) and I'm defending my decision.
"Gyatt" is the shortened version of "Goddamn". Do you take issue with the word "gonna" (or further, "gon'" being used in place of "going to"? Because that's exactly how your argument sounds to me. Japanese have dozens, hundreds even, of example of full words shortened down to just two or three syllables by primarily the youth cultuer (I instantly remember a discussion about the use of "マ？" among the youth as opposed to the more formal "本当に？") The same applies here with "gyatt", he's a young guy, shown to be flamboyant and uses casual, somewhat meme-y language before and in this case he used a single syllable from a longer word to express surprise/arousal(?). As to the doesn't make sense to those who don't live in primarily English-speaking countries.... well, I'm translating it into English for an English-speaking demographic, that kinda isn't my problem?
I think you're letting your personal opinions on neologisms get in the way. It doesn't matter how you personally feel about a word in colloquial use, the fact of the matter is that it's in use by the same demographic that Kuzutani is in (if he were English-speaker) so I use the words and manner of speaking that he would use if he were an English speaker, as close to the essence of the words being used in the raws.
"Gyatt" has a very similar origin to "rizz"- Basically the first part of someone shouting "GODDAMN!" in a state of exasperated surprise/arousal. Most often used in context of "Goddamn, look at that ass!" with the "d" slowly turning into it's phonetical cousin "t"
Get your cultural colonizing ass out the door. You think I'd read this shit if it was western? If I want western culture I'll read a western comic. I'm here because of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean culture shit. What's the point of reading foreign shit if the foreign stuff got erased and replaced by western shit?
"Gonna" retains some of the original word in it, so it's understandable instantly. Gyatt doesn't retain anything from the original goddamn. It's a squeal, a grunt. And if I was a Japanese boomer I'd probably have some issues with マ as well, but at least that's just マジ shortened even further. I don't really care about your usage of slang in the manga to be honest, I mind the word itself because it's nonsense.
least obvious manga plot 💀
thats what GYAT and RIZZ does to readers apparently 😂. This manga is no literary masterpiece to begin with, i am unsure why people are so up in arms about it
I've spent almost half my life in Japan, haven't set foot out of Japan since 2010 and am currently in the nationlization process.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
