Memes are nothing like logographs (“kanji”) linguistically speaking

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

is TPB dead?

Those instances are terrible for many, many reasons. Transphobia is NOT one of those reasons.

Hm. Is this for linguistic curiosity? It seems like by “different perspectives” you are seeking political commentary. But I could recommend plenty of sources for hearing people speak English as a second language. Hell, I just found this one today: https://www.youtube.com/@InaYu2024 Seems to be a Japanese oncology pharmacist living in Canada. (Very slight accent, hard to place.)

You can shove your personal attacks about my background up your arse. You don’t know me as an actual person. How am I supposed to respond to this shit without sounding like an arrogant jagoff? This isn’t conducive to anything productive. You are just venting online and trying to make moral judgments around it. If I told you that I’ve literally been around the world, lived in multiple countries, speak multiple languages, and have gotten to know people from dozens of different cultures, and that if you really avoid people so much then you ““introverts”” probably are a lot less culturally aware than you think – how are you going to react? Is that going to change your mind? Are you gonna say “Whoops I guess you are pretty culturally aware!” Is that going to make my perspective any more valid to you? That maybe, just maybe, you are part of the problem here? No, of course not. You have already picked your good/evil, right/wrong, and you set yourself up to dismiss me as someone who “just doesn’t get it” (get why I’m right of course).

Maybe, just maybe, the fact that this seems to happen wherever OP lives suggests that it is culturally appropriate there? Or are you using “culture” as a trojan horse for “whatever I personally like to do”? And the people in your “culture” are just the people who like/dislike the things you do? Can you see how that might undermine actual cultural difference? Probably not, because apparently you only care about raging online - not a good faith discussion on cultural differences in social interactions.

And all this talk of cultural difference just to hammer the point that people shouldn’t act the way that you don’t like them to act! How the fuck do you think I’M the one being closed-minded and culturally insensitive here? You are absolutely fucking ridiculous. And to dredge through my background and make personal attacks based on things I have said in good faith to others? Seriously, go fuck yourself.

How fucking dare you call them NPCs? They are living breathing sentient human beings who help construct the world you and I enjoy. I refuse to use dehumanizing language for anyone, even people I disagree with or don’t want to listen to. Even to you.

You are acting like an absolute monster and I hope others are able to step back from this convo and realize how disgusting your words are.

Who said I was neurotypical? Who said I was an extrovert? And I hope your comment doesn’t imply that “introverts” understand other people any better than people who… actually talk to others… that would be absurd. People who understand other people don’t go on wild presumptuous rants based on their idea of a person based on a few snippets of text or because they heard someone talked to a person in KFC!! The fact the you folks here seem to think that there’s just a broad swathe of the population who are “the problem” (and you easily cram us into your “problem” box if you feel the tension of an unfamiliar idea) … that behavior is really the problem.

Those of you supporting that jerk in the comments are honestly exactly like the Jesus freak in KFC. It’s actually mind-blowing how close the parallel is. “You don’t think the same as me? Go to hell!” It’s not like we’re saying you have to act a certain way, not like you are to us. Just as Please_Do_Not said: if you wanna live that way then I hope you can find a way to enjoy life but it doesn’t seem like you are. You’re gonna encounter this shit no matter what so it’s probably better to learn how to deal with it than to rage about it, or berate others who dare to suggest that we need not make ourselves miserable.
