I was there Gandalf, I was there three thousand years ago…
Darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every meme was as long as a life age of the earth…
This was the best thing I’d seen all day, until I saw this:
…and this is just true love:
Fake, she’s not even blowing on it.
Shes using an advanced technique common in bass instruments known as “slapping.”
I need a dramatic close up on a bystander who gasps in surprise before announcing “She’s not even blowing into it!” followed by the close up of the shooter saying “That’s right, I have gone BEYOND the need to blow into my instrument of destruction!”

Is this the next Hibiki Euphonium series?
You’re goddamn right.
We had this in the west as well when I was a kid. It was called fus-ro-dahing or something.
I prefer “How do you do, Ken?”-ing and “Sorry you Ken!”-ing…
I thought that was when you just spammed ranged attacks?

Lame.
If japs didn’t exist, they should be invented.
Are you aware that’s a slur?
I’m italian and in Italy that’s not considered a slur. It’s more telling someone they’re funny or amusing.
You really need to use your hands more so we know you’re Italian. 🤌
Not the sentiment, the word used for Japanese people. Saying “if Japanese people didn’t exist, they should be invented” would be totally acceptable.
It can be hard to avoid slurs in other languages though, especially when English has so many. My husband’s not a native English speaker and it comes up maybe every other month that he’ll say something and I’ll have to tell him to avoid that word or only use it in one specific usage. I’ve only been corrected/gaped at for inadvertently using slurs twice in over five years living in Germany, for comparison.
Ok, now I get it. I didn’t use “japs” as derogatory, obviously.
Yeah, it is an easy mistake to make. Generally abbreviations/diminutives for nationalities are insulting (Brit excluded)
Like Germs
In english there’s a similar sounding word that means a joke or something done in jest, Jape with a long a
Please explain
“Japs” was used by Americans during WW2 so it has pretty negative connotations there.
Thanks!
Well said
Worth pointing out that for the rest of the world this is often hard to navigate. Americans have a reputation for excessive self-censorship based on pearl-clutching, with “the F word” or “p*rn” or censoring nipples.
So sometimes actual strongly hateful or dehumanising language gets dismissed as another example of oversensitity.
Just to clarify, I didn’t think OP was being insensitive. My question was genuine, and I didn’t think they knew. And yes, there is a lot of unnecessary censorship in the US. You can’t say fuck on TV or the radio. I was listening to a station from New Zealand and that made me realize we’re the only Country that does that. Censoring nipples is fucking stupid too. I really don’t censor myself. I’m told I’m a very outspoken person. The only words I won’t say are slurs because I believe they are actually harmful and disrespectful.

And then they’ll upvote “jokes” like “fr*nch “people” 🤮” without batting an eye…
FUCK OFF WITH THE RACIST SLUR
