do japanese girls shave their arms?
>>52042547
Shaving is overrated.
On the Turkish Airlines flight yesterday there was an attendant and she had very dense hair growth on her cheeks, sideburns almost.
I think it's good she didn't shave. If she did she would have to do it daily as stubble all over would look silly.

>I think it's ridiculous that some german girls shave their arms
dude, you have bad taste.
>>52043291
He asked about shaving. :^)
Waxing is just as stupid though desu
Unless the girl is some freak of nature with arms of a hairy Turk I see no reason to shave.
>>52042844
i need to remember to stop adding の to shit when i don't have to
>>52043504
I prefer smooth skin rather than hairy shit
mainly legs
not shaving/waxing legs is as disgusting as not shaving/waxing armpits

this
t. disturbed individual who was forced to appreciate nature as a kid
>>52043912
That's not nature. That's nasty outdoors shit.
Nature is the whiff of a soft pillow of pubic hair you press your face into before going down on her.
Nature is the hair under her armpit you can twirl around with your finger while you are spooning in bed.
Nature are the little sideburns you gently caress as her head is leaning on your shoulder.
Nature is those few odd leg hairs that stick out through the tight weave of her nylon pantyhose.

How narrow-minded of you, do you know how huge Brazil is?
>>52045434
I mean can I find a girl that will do this
>>52045434
yes, even if you stayed longer she would because when it comes to marriage they know that only a japanese can become a proper husband. so gaijin are good toys for teenage years but that is all

Maybe I'm a bit off on the "has access to internet part", but huehues aren't great at speaking English in general. I tend to assume that Brazilians who speak English are the sons of senior civil servants.
>>52045434
just cum in her shower gel and she will rub her vagine with it because sexual education is bad in japan and she doesn't know that the vagine is a self-cleaning organ so she will get pregnant and you can have her forever because she's too afraid to abort the pregnancy or leave you and be a single mother because that's how japan is
enjoy your life there

>>52045842
No, they are people who love lolicon.
Lolicons are the object — i.e young girls or boys, depending on what tickles your fancy.
>>52046002
i use japan guide but it's a terrible website. wasn't aware of skype and that interpals thing looks like an easy way to make yourself look bad
>>52045626
>I tend to assume that Brazilians who speak English are the sons of senior civil servants.
Why though? You relate their proficiency in English to paid courses/special education?
>>52046051
Lolicon
A condensed version of 'Lolita Complex' introduced by Japanese Anime culture, originally derived from Nabokov's novel, Lolita, Lolicon refers to an individual's attraction, usually sexual in nature, towards girls between the ages of 12 and 16. The 'm' at the end of the word, which should be Lolicom, is naturally linguistically altered for ease of speech, as the English language has significantly more words ending with the 'n' consonant.
Lolita = young girl
Lolicon = pedophile
People who love lolicons = people who love pedophiles
>>52045942
really? i don't really care too much about exams, so my learning experience has been pretty easy so far
I mean, I never studied grammar (the only reason I'm studying japanese is to be able to read stuff), so all I have to do is study a bit of vocabulary (using anki) and read stuff, that's it
which is basically how I've learnt english
>>52046222
How did you learn without studying grammar?
>>52046310
Not >>52046222, but osmosis.
>>52046176
>Lolicon refers to an individual's attraction, usually sexual in nature, towards girls between the ages of 12 and 16
>pedo
Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, generally age 11 years or younger
>>52046371
Sure, there's a difference. My main point is that lolicon is not referring to a young girl
>>52046310
watched anime for a bit, then i noticed that I knew quite a few words and that I understood the "flow" of the language, then I started studying vocabulary
same for english, but instead of anime, I watched series and films
>>52046120
>Why though? You relate their proficiency in English to paid courses/special education?
Yes. Why are you acting like that doesn't make sense?
>>52045893
Have you ever been to Japan?
Even if the train is packed, people will be reluctant to sit next to you if you are a foreigner.
And you can feel that Japanese people are uneasy if you take a vacant seat next to them.
He was implying that, with that in mind, the chances of you finding a Japanese girlfriend during your studies in Japan might be more unlikely than you had imagined.

I have never experienced this and I've worked in Japan.
Maybe its because I'm pale white, thin, and wear glasses.
>>52046777
Maybe it's because you don't want to face harsh truth and block it with your 24/7 weeb-vision glasses.

I should learn what every kanji means, but only the translation of it so I can read papers without understanding Japanese.

The only place I ever felt any kind of weird feeling was Naha but thats mostly because its a shithole.

>>52046920
I do that too. Not because guys like you are weird, but I want to piss off the rude people who take two seats.
>>52046479
Yeah I really envy you. There's no way I could get the "flow" just by listening. The grammar doesn't make sense even after studying it.
>>52047030
No, I want to be a complete retard
>>52046541
This kind of thinking would make sense if you were talking about the last generation.
You can learn pretty much anything for free these days if you have internet and some time to spare.
>>52047031
I appreciate people like you in general. But yeah I start to wonder if I stink or something and it really gets to me. I just want someone to sit next to me on a bus or train
>>52046479
i also did this honestly, it takes a while though. also shows can vary really dramatically in how easy they are to understand
>>52047117
Maybe you just look too gaijin
>>52047046
You just haven't watched enough anime.
I haven't studied grammar either and have no trouble understanding Japanese
>>52047031
>>52047117
I don't put my bag in my lap if there are plenty of open seats, because I'm lazy
>>52047046
it's no big deal, it took quite a while for me to understand stuff
>>52047125
yeah, there are some people who watch/read mindless moe shit to get used to the language, luckily I wasn't so desperate that I needed to do that (buy I would do it, if I could stand moe)
>>52047192
Idk what that even means. I'm clearly not Japanese though. That's the point. What's so bad about sitting down next to me I mean fuck
>>52047200
through Doujin
>>52047304
Dunno. I never experienced this on public transport in Japan so I can only assume it has something do with the fact that I have black hair, pale skin, and wear glasses.

>>52047304
imagine you've always lived in a country with people of the same skin color as yours, people whose skin color is different from yours are really rare, so you've never had the opportunity to interact with them, you basically only see them on TV and on the street sometimes
you don't have much information about them
you'd probably be unconfortable around them as well, people normally fear what they don't know
>>52047396
You mean you never experienced it in the one city you lived in? It's a really common gripe the way I see it.
>>52047475
Oh...
>>52047520
Thanks but it's been gotten to me for two years now and it's not going away
>>52047304
I had the same reaction in Japan.
>>52047115
That's true, I guess (at least in theory). Are you not one of those super wealthy Brazilian posters then?

she must be aware of the legions of men jacking off to those scenes of her perfect korean feet
>>52047636
sometimes i think having an antisocial streak would help. some people would think it's a blessing to not have people sit by them and some people can get by with next to no human interaction. guess it depends what you want to accomplish really
>>52047587
No no no fuck off. I'm not going to imagine anything to justify this shit. Fuck that. Fear this and that.
It's sitting next to someone on a bus. If they were afraid they would get off the bus. There's nothing consistent about the "they just don't know foreigners" thing. I ride the same bus and train and I see the same faces on that bus and train every weekday for two years so it's not like I'm a new big shock. Fuck you for trying to defend that
>>52047636
i am pretty sure you are nihonjinjanai and people generally don't want to sit next to a faggot looking manchild in faggy clothes

>>52047636
Yeah I never experienced it in the one city I lived in. Did experience it in Naha but they have more of a reason to dislike white men there as most of them in Okinawa are American military. Also experienced it plenty while I was living in PRC.
>>52047740
Not really.
The majority of Brazilians who come here are middle-class, I believe.
>>52047979
I'm really sorry for saying that, please let me suck your dick to make up for it
i'll even call you ご主人様 while I do it

>>52048316
>i'll even call you ご主人様 while I do it
um hey i'm not like super offended but i'd appreciate some 御奉仕 if you know what i mean haha pls?
>>52048465
not trying to defend anyone, I'm just trying to speculate why they would bevate that way, because I don't think they mean harm by doing what they do
http://strawpoll.me/6249506
take this poll
>>52048505
sure
for 500 bucks.
>>52048580
They probably don't mean any harm but that's not really the issue is it? it bothers the hell out of me. It tells me they prefer to stand for twenty minutes rubbing asses with people and being knocked around by the bus than sit next to me.
Please don't become the weeb who tried to be the good gaijin by understanding and forgiving everything that's done to you (if you ever come here). Just some advice you probably don't care for. Sorry

I would find a way to hide my face somehow and wait for them to sit by my side. Then I would suddenly turn to them and ask about the weather in a overly polite way while staring at their eyes with a big smile on my face.

I feel like standing than sitting most of the time even when the train/bus is almost empty. It's just that I'm in a mood like that and not that I'm trying to avoid sitting next to you. I don't pay much attention to others so I probably don't even notice that you are foreigner. I think most people are like that? People don't care about you as much as you think they do.
>>52049018
This is what they tell themselves.
I get an extra bit of pain when I'm sitting on the back part with two seats to a thing. And mine is the only one with an extra one open. So people get on the bus and turn toward that, meaning they clearly want to sit down. But they notice mine is the only one open THEN they decide they'd rather stand.
>>52048839
well, ofense is taken, not given
i won't ever be a weeb, I have an idea of how fucked up and work-centered japanese society is, as I said, I'm not trying to defend it, i'm trying to understand it
>>52048852
that works as well, with 500 of those I would be able to feed my tribe here in brazil for quite a while
>>52048865
my apologies are worth a lot
>>52046663
Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find a girlfriend because I'm blonde and have blue eyes, and am not ugly. Also, I am not autistic. It's probably safe to say that university-aged people are more open, anyway.

There's a bunch of weird shit people have that they keep to themselves.
You just don't know it because they wear a facade in public (unlike this weirdo who admits to it)
>>52049329
never read a self-help book and haven't been to facebook for an year of so
if you have a trauma with freezers, and the word "cool" triggers you, would it be my fault if you got offended because I said you were a cool guy?
what if I say that your voice sounds like morgan freeman's, and you hated his voice, would it be justifiable for you to get mad at me for that?
you can get offended by anything I say, if you want, and you can not get offended by anything I say, if you want
this is logical reasoning, not self-help bullshit
>>52049398
The more you read into it, the sadder it seems desu.
>>52048966
>wants to live as a six-year-old girl
>seven children
>doesn’t ‘want to be an adult right now’
So he got sick of taking care of 7 children and went mad or is acting mad
>>52049135
Japanese people are like that. It's their nature. They're racist but don't realize it.
>>52049489
I can't argue with that reasoning. I guess you're right. You can do know wrong if you don't intend to. Ever.

When the car is packed it's a bit difficult to spot an empty seat and even if they do it's still hard to sit there because they'd feel guilty not letting others take it.
Though I guess if it happens every single time you take a train or bus then they might be really avoiding you. Maybe it's that you are fat or you put too much perfume on you it stinks or something like that.
>>52049555
I know you're just teasing me or trying to troll but if you haven't had it happen to you every day for twos years I can't expect anyone to understand. Lots of people do understand though. And it's not cause we're sensitive babies. As much as the JIDF wants to paint us that way

No I'm really not looking for explanations. That is literally the last thing I want. I just don't wanna feel like I'm quarantined.
>>52050304
That's something I can't explain. I said it earlier but this only seems like a non issue to people who haven't had it happen to them regularly. If you've lived in our great country America your whole life, people think their entitled to the seat no matter who is sitting next to it so you wouldn't understand I guess. But it's like being treated like this fragile or contagious thing that can't be approached.
It's how I think of it when I'm most affected and it has driven me a bit crazy and caused me anxiety when I use public transportation.
Feel free to laugh if it sounds sensitive or stupid but I hope it never happens to you

That's because the correct way is to say "I'm not gay".
It depends on the context though. It's hard for me to explain here because it would take hours and I don't know the type of conversations you and your friend have been having.

gay is an adjective, so you don't use "a"

He is a Jewish person
He is a Jew
He is a gay person
He is a gay
Both firsts in the pair seem to put someone in a category but only the seconds in the pair use the word as a pejorative.
The point is not all words sound pejorative when you use the a
Even words that refer to categories people tend to slur
He's a carpenter
She's a woman
She's a lesbian
He's a loser
Shes a prostitute/hooker
He's an Armenian
>>52052650

It's not a trivial thing at all. It's the way people speak when they intend to offend you. It's not like someone is going around getting pissed because of the extra letter dude. It's because that letter makes the word that follows a straight up slur. It means the person who said it is trying to offend actively.
>>52052764
Are you from the States? I don't think many people would consider "He's a Jew" to be a pejorative, and "he's a gay" doesn't really make much sense to me (since no one outside of 1950s Alabama has ever said "he's a gay")
I've heard that words like "oriental" and "homosexual" aren't PC in the USA though.
>>52052764
how is it pejorative, dude? that's just projection and being oversensitive
>>52052872
absolutely disagree, I can try to offend people without using "a"
he's sick
he's retarded
he's autistic
"a" doesn't change shit, and if it does, it is very subtle, absolutely not slur
>>52052855
I know what you mean but I took a linguistics half semester course focused on pejorative language in which there were four Jewish people. Although all agreed that they prefer he is Jewish, half of them found no offense if they were described with "he is a Jew"
Interesting stuff. But I'm sure you can imagine he is a Jew being used to offend more poignantly than he is jewish
>Japan thread
>Discussing English grammar
>>52053055
But half of them said they would be offended by he is a Jew
>>52053045
You might just not be familiar enough with the speech pattern I'm talking about and how it's used. It's not projection or sensitivity. Using the a sometimes functions to make a term pejorative. It's just how it sounds to speakers familiar with the speech pattern. There nothing you can say about it to make the way the usage is interpreted by native speakers change. It's like taking a swear word that corresponds to a mundane word in another language and trying to argue that it shouldn't be considered a swear word because in another language it means something like rice. This is simply how the words are used and interpreted. By large swaths of competent speakers. Not by sensitive sjws on tumblr

sure, I might not be as familiar with the language as a native speaker is, but first, english isn't equal everywhere, so this use of "a" might be offensive somewhere, but it might not be offensive in other places
and even though i'm not so familiar with english, i'm capable of logical thinking, and my logical thinking makes me believe that it isn't offensive, at least not as slur
also, by reading people's comments, i'd think that it really doesn't change anything
>Although all agreed that they prefer he is Jewish, half of them found no offense if they were described with "he is a Jew"
>Are you from the States? I don't think many people would consider "He's a Jew" to be a pejorative
if you find an article that talks about that, it might be more convincing

There are people who are Japanese and have the same experience as you. So I don't think it really has to do with your ethnicity and that's my point. You can read their stories if you look for it in Japanese. But honesty they all sound like they are just being overly self-conscious.
>>52053006
Yes I am. I've never heard homosexual being not pc but maybe these are linguistic intuitions only Americans have. That might be the case. But things like
He's a gay
He's a Jew
He's an autistic
He's a Chinese
He's a Japanese
While not all of them are strictly speaking grammatically correct, they sound like natural English to me and from what I learned in that class, to many people they give a sense that the person speaking is slurring these groups with these phrasings. More than their alternatives would indicate
But again maybe that's just an American intuition.

You can't use logical thinking to determine whether something sounds offensive or not. Literally what are you talking about.
Can you logically discern the meaning of any grammatical pattern you have never seen before? No
It's impossible. You simply have to accept that it means what people believe it means. I honestly don't have any clue how to explain this to you lol.
What?
It makes even less sense to argue that a grammatical structure shouldn't mean what it means because of something.
I honestly don't know anymore lol.
>>52053555
I think you're kinda right, but "pejorative" seems like kind of a strong term. They sound more blunt or insensitive rather than offensive to me.
>>52053466
It's only deemed as offensive now because a multitude of over sensitive wankers who are in a position of influence (unfortunately) in places such as politics, schools, universities and media decided it is offensive without bothering to ask for our opinion. Thus anyone who expresses an opinion contrary to this is browbeaten into submission.

I think the opinions consulted were those of people who in real life take offense to these ways of speaking. But in any case what the Brazilian is doing makes no sense. If a group of competent speakers of a language agree a certain grammatical structure means a certain thing, there's no logical argument to made about it meaning otherwise or about how it should mean something else. That's not how grammar works

huh? what are you talking about? it's a grammatical pattern which I HAVE seen before,
is it something that is taught at schools? no, right? if it was, you would have sent me an article which talks about it. also, you don't learn that those things sound pejorative because that's not a fact, that's how some people perceive it, that's being oversensitive, you can't even apply what you are saying in a way that makes sense, all you're saying is that "some words get more offensive with an a, others don't" which are those words? who decides what are those words? based on what?
>>52053853
>If a group of competent speakers of a language agree a certain grammatical structure means a certain thing
no group of anything is agreeing with anything, you're the only one saying that.
>>52053957
That's not what I'm saying. But I am saying that if you're speaking to a group of Ebonics speakers, you have a deep misunderstanding about language if you think you can convince them by logical means that their way of saying something means something else.

Am I being trolled?
Who decided that anything means anything in a language? Like ever? People use words and speech patterns and they acquire meaning. No one decides this. And the fact that I can't give you a rule about which words turn out to be offensive if you use them a certain way doesn't mean that it doesn't really happen. There's not always a rule. Do you have irregular verbs in your native language? Or words you can't use in Portugal cause they would mean something else? Would it cross your mind to argue with a Portuguese person that a certain word doesn't have the effect they think it does?

It's not about choosing to be offended bro. It's that the grammatical structure is used to offend by people. That's the meaning it's acquired in America anyway. It indicates that the speaker may be biased in some way. You don't even have to take offense. You just have to know that the speaker is using a way of speaking that is used to offend. You can realize that without being actually offended. The a makes that difference even though you think it shouldn't because that's simply how people take it to mean.
Language is not all about what the speaker intends. Communicating ideas involves speaking so that your audience understands. You can't sit there and say whatever you please and say "but this is what I mean! You're choosing to misunderstand me!"
That's just not how it works. The way your audience will receive the message matters. If you don't think it does, you don't have a reason to speak out loud to begin with.

ok, this will be my last answer, so i'll try to make myself as clear as possible
the thing is, a few people you know, have told you that using "a" before a word makes said word sound more offensive to them, but there are other people who wouldn't give a shit about that.
you said that "It's that the grammatical structure is used to offend by people" ok, what are the rules that dictate that grammatical structure? are you saying that language doesn't follow any rules?
and sure, languages aren't only about what the speaker intends, but it's not all about what the listener receives as well
The only thing i'm questioning is the existence of said "grammatical structure", if you can prove it to me that it exists, i'll shut the fuck up, otherwise, don't bother answering
if you're going to say "it can't be documented" or something like that, that i'll say it's bullshit, because people need to have an agreement on what words mean, and on how certain "grammatical structures" make them sound, otherwise there is no point to language

I'm telling you that American speakers of English take that to mean offense. I gave four people as an example because that's what I have, beside my intuition as a native English speaker from the United States. Im pretty sure we are all on the same page in general. Being on the same page here means that most Americans will know that that phrasing is usually used to cause offense. They may not all take offense. But we mostly all know that it is meant to cause it. This is how language works. Not every thing in every language is documented, but I'm sure you can think of examples in your language that are like this.
If I gave you some grammatically correct sentence in Portuguese with what I think is it English translation and the meanings don't match, would you listen to me if I insisted that they should match? Would you accept it if I asked you for a survey of brazilians proving they agree with you in that the meaning isn't what I think it is? If not, I don't see why you're doing this to me now...
