My thought is that Google's spiders saw so many instances of my name in discussion threads about Kiwi Farms after Byuu faked his death, that Google started to think my name in Japanese literally means Kiwi Farms.

Put a space right before ア and it gets it right. That's crazy. It even translates it into other languages "correctly".

If they're really using their search index as fodder for their translation engine, then there's an opportunity for somebody here. Google's translation service drives a whole bunch of other applications and services that are used every day. Imagine the chaos of a well-placed googlebomb fucking up an otherwise innocuous translation.

Vaguely reminds me of that time /pol/ briefly attempted to make "google" a replacement word for "nigger". They had partial success because this still shows up in search results.

It might have been specifically caused by Japanese translations of Byuu's tweets, which mention both Kiwi Farms and Joshua Moon.

Still translates to Kiwi Farms with that dot in there.

So, are you going to use the Send feedback feature?

While it is cool seeing it in action, I have to ask: are you sure that "Google" is doing anything? I wouldn't be surprised if it's an invisible false positive on most of the internet due to cdn/metrics scripts.

If "Google" is not a meaningful search term then I'd expect the results for just "rapes white woman" to still look like that simply due to the rules of 13/50.
