I don't know why, but I'm always puzzled when I see them speaking good English on this board and using 4chan slang and memes.
For some reason I can’t explain I’ve got this deeply ingrained idea that Japanese posters can only speak broken English, and them participating in the English speaking internet and use 4chan lingo or other feels like breaking a cultural barrier that should be insurmountable.
And I don’t even think this about Koreans or anyone else, I'm not surprised when I see them speak like the rest, it’s only the Japanese I expect not to understand or participate.

am I the only one with this preconception? I don’t even know why I see them like that

because theyre either an american soldier, a russian working at a hotel, or a foreign sex pest english teacher. Real japanese do speak broken engrish

>>223125578
Those are all gaijin
Or the actual japanese posters speak stilted english

>>223125578
I met a few that speak like ESLs when the Taiwan situation was resurfaced year. Most of them are either foreign English teachers or tourists.

There is not a single real Japanese poster on flagboards. And it's not for cool reasons, it's for boring ones like them not knowing it exists.

Japanese are just incredibly insular online and stick to Japanese spaces. I think even if they knew 4chan existed they would not use it. The only non Japanese platform they use is X.

Euroids commenting on American politics, and not just "turnal dimp bad" but knowing congressmen and federal judges and saying shit like "we gotta beat them in the primaries and win the next exlection" will never not be insane to me

well the anglo saxon internet is international at this point
you have no idea just how empty, slow, boring and unoriginal the internet is in other languages. i haven't browsed french internet since forever

>"we gotta beat them in the primaries and win the next exlection"
have you hallucinated this?
>>
>>223126153
agreed, though that comes with being world superpower, im sure belgians and brazilians mightve known the names of famous british or german parliment members
>>223126157
dayum, i have some experience looking at french websites for an essay bout french revolution but i also every interesting somali website i know is only because its mainly in english
>>
>>223126227
i mean our internet is active, you can find tons of stuff, but when it comes to social media, there is basically only a few forums in one old website and it's trash, we just use twitter and instagram, and when it comes to memes it's a desert, there are no french memes
>>
I just want to talk to gaijins.....
