i cant believe in 2023 someone has to defend themself against "weeb" accusations for pointing out that the japanese pronunciation of a japanese word/name is the correct one

#cro zone #like obviously its one thing if youre not japanese to talk over japanese people about their language #but like i dont see how its fetishization to just. pronounce the words of the language correctly #esp bc when its written out romanized its literally phonetic + syllabic theres no secret to it #like it gets to a point where ur rejection of anything japanese becomes racism again even if u think ur defending them against appropriatio #japan isnt like. a secret dimension. its a country w global influence thats had cultural exchange with the usa for decades if not centuries #can we get a grip and be thoughtful about the presence of things that might be new or unfamiliar to us instead of defensive and hostile
