Because oy is Britspeak and the subs are in American.

>>143606464

Oi is only said by jews

>>143606557
Why are the subs in American?
England is the truest form of English.
That's why the people are called English.

>character says "Bitch"
>subs translate it as "Slut"

Shit subs

In America the language is called English, not the people. I get what your saying though, standards for the English language should be from England not America.

It's not our fault the world prefers our version better, we produce vastly more english media in general, and our mobility scooters have a much higher maximum weight limit.

>>143606705
You do realize that both American English and British English have diverged from the spoken English of 300 years ago, right?

I'm pretty sure there IS a difference between how "ito" and "itou" sound.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization
tl;dr Long vowels can be written either with a macron (i.e. ō) or with a phonetic u afterwards (i.e. ou)
There's different ways to Romanize Japanese words. That's all there is to it.

>>143606705
American English and British English used to be the same, but then middle class Brits started coming into money and wanted to sound high class so they dropped their 'R's. 200 years later all of England does it and think they talked like that ever since the Normans.

Actually American English sounds closer to what English sounded like before America was founded, so arguably American English is a truer form of English.

But still I agree with OP, we know what "oi" means
