What manga? Haha I've probably subconsciously ignored this type of thing or something hahah. Made me laugh tho
There are soooooo many yaois that do this. Like, the last 2 that I've read had this happen, and I had to force myself to finish them.
And in case anyone asks, Jeff is fucking 23 years old. This is not a real yaoi, I just made this up as an example.
it's the japanese language. the pronoun 'you' can be considered rude so they use mostly names when adressing a person. it's also normal to adress yourself by using your name. it could be changed in translation but i guess after you're exposed to it for a little while it sounds just as normal :D
Ok, who ever is downvoting this, Jeff is waiting for you. Brian kicked him out because he was too annoying.
Gah, I know XD
I just wish translators would change it （/TДT)/
Poor Brian. He deserves someone much less weird.
No, Jeff needs someone equally as weird to love him.
Imagine being so entitled that you want people who translate a manga for free, to change a language because you don't like it and want to be comfortable reading it illegally
Japanese is one of the hardest languages to translate OP, they doing their job for free.
Hey, it isn't that hard. if I really wanted to, I could just change all instances where someone uses the other's name to "you"
I *wish* they would change it; however, I understand that it's not all that possible.
IK, i appreciate them a lot owo
japanese is fucking hARD
Then you do it. Learn Japanese and become an translator
Ironically, I've been learning Japanese for a little over a year now. I'm actually working on translating some stuff now for some practice.
I'm not too good on sentence structure, but I'm working on it (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
ikr XD
That's where Jerry comes in, the sock-puppet-wielding uke from the "Socks" question of January 2020. http://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/5140034/
Sock puppet on feet or hands? Either way they be staring back during sex. *googly eyes shake with every pound*
this is so cursed and i love it -
Lmao. I always ignore this stuff
but did you see the relationship dynamic between Jeff and Brian? I worked really hard on that-
The lack of PRONOUNS in yaoi. Like, why the FUCK are you using someone's first name when you're FUCKING TALKING TO THEM?!?
"Hey Jeff, you want to hang out?"
"Of course, Brian! I love hanging out with Brian! Brian is the best!"
"...Jeff, are you ok?"
"Of course I am, Brian. What makes Brian think there's something wrong?"
...see what I mean?
Like, translators, come ON, it's so fucking stupid. Unless the character's like, 3, or is SUPER childish, no one talks like that.
It ruins the entire atmosphere.
"B-Brian makes me feel weird! I can feel Brian-ah!"
"Jeff, what the FUCK man. I swear to GOD, you do this EVERY TIME-"
