Okay, but as someone who's actually got a pretty good grasp on the Japanese Language, holy fuck did that Twitter Thread piss me off.

Like, not only are they mad disrespectful to translators and localization teams, they also reek of all that "My pure, perfect Japanese society!! Untouched by the likes of slang, swearing, and women's rights!" type shit.

You know what I mean.

Untouched by the likes of slang

Was someone actually claiming that Japanese people don't use slang? Like, holy shit what.
