    I’d say to each their own, but it’s also a source of BDD for a lot of women. One specific body type usually being the center of sexual attention creates a fair bit of unnecessary expectations. Same as porn industry in general, be it real or drawn, creates very much comparable problems for men. Please look at real people from time to time, it helps.

    Looked up the top-right one, the original phrase is

    人は殺さられば、死ぬ。

    Which, indeed, means “If a person is killed, they die”. I listened to the whole scene and it sounds like the character does have something weird going on with his body, which prevents him from dying, and what they are meaning to say is “normal people die if they are killed, but I don’t”.

    A fairly hard to answer question with Japanese. It operates with morae, not vowels and consonants. な row (なにぬねの, na ni nu ne no) and ま row (まみむめも, ma mi mu me mo) are starting with distinctly different sounds, they are pretty hard to confuse. However, there is also this fucker: ん (n). This one can be read very differently depending on what surrounds it. As an example,

    先生せんせい (se n se i), means teacher, has ん usually romanized as “n”;

    先輩せんぱい (se m pa i), means senior, has ん usually romanized as “m”.

    There are some more ways of reading it, sometimes it becomes nasal, sometimes it makes you pretend you are speech impaired.

    Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat is usually written にゃん (n-ya n). Two n sounds here are a bit different, one is represented by the beginning of に (ni), another by ん (n). The first one is hard to confuse with an “m”, so I would say that it’s just cats producing a sound somewhere inbetween m and n, and it just so happened that Japanese people attributed it to に.

    Happens in plenty other languages, Ukranian one is няв (nyav), for example.

    Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?

    In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I’m aware.

    I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an “illegal” talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes in any server I join?
