Reminder that there are no native words for trannyshit in Japanese (or most any other languages, for that matter) - all the words for transgenderism are loanwords from English. There is no cultural analogue here, so of course the mod doesn't know wtf they're freaking out about. For a bunch of so-called tolerant and totes culturally aware group, they're all too happy to mouth off at a Japanese person on a subreddit for a Japanese game for not being familiar with their nonsense. Absolute insanity.
There's no native words for trannyshit in Korean either, and every time I hear news about tranners in Korean I have to laugh because it's all loanwords. There's native words for homosexuality in JP/KR/CN but they have to use English words for troon stuff. Almost like it's not a universal thing and is largely a subculture found in white westerners.
It's funny, you know. This post kind of highlights a phenomenon I've seen elsewhere and been thinking about putting into words for a while now.
Recently, Bobvids made a video sperging about a video game developer liking racist and transphobic tweets. This is, coincidentally, something Jim Sterling has covered as well (his Jimquisition review is notable for giving it a score of 0.5, which is way lower than all the others, by comparison - gee, I fucking wonder why?
). The guy's name, though?
Artur Łączkowski.
Now, maybe this is just me, and maybe
I'm the one being prejudiced here, but looking at that dude's name, and assuming the sort of culture that someone with that name would come from, I, for one, would be very surprised if he 100% passed the contemporary Southern Californian woke smell test.
Like, Eastern European people tend to be quite right-wing and traditional in their beliefs in general, due to the influence of the church over there and the, let's be generous and say, 'checquered' history of Communism in those countries.
Now, I'm not here to white knight for Łączkowski, I don't really care all that much about video games nowadays and later in the video, it's revealed that Bobvids looked into his history and that he used an actual real life 911 recording of a woman being raped for what looks like a shitty Resident Evil 2 clone he made, which is arguably a fucking tasteless, insensitive, awful thing to do, so fuck him.
Howeverrrr, I don't believe Bobvids and Jim Sterling et al genuinely give a fucking shit about that. You know why? Because if this was something they truly felt was worth bringing to public attention, they would've lead with that, wouldn't they? Instead of the bullshit tranny Twitter drama?
As it is, they only care about this now they can use it as corroborating evidence that someone they already disliked because he liked some memes that they deemed as 'twansphobic' is a shitty person.
Anyway, getting back to the point I'm sort of trying to make here, here we have two examples of online self-styled 'leftists', people who claim they're woke, culturally aware and tolerant, coming up against two cultures where their tranny shit isn't really understood or accepted, and demanding that that person kowtow to their worldview or face the consequences. Claiming that other cultures are 'so far behind' on these topics, as if they're backwards simply because they don't embrace their ideals?
Is this not the very model of
colonialist behaviour?
I mean, if you wanted to get really into the weeds here, you could argue, something something, globohomo, something something, po mo, something something, CIA, glow-in-the-dark, something, something, psy op, grumble, grumble, grouse, something something, but I'm not really in the mood for that kind of politisperging at this time of the day.
