I always used Mirai Toukyou because I hated the word 'Neo.' Is there something WRONG with my preference of words? I never, EVER called someone out for using Neo Tokyo, but people have called me out for using Mirai Toukyou. If you want to be a bitch about it, please, go rant in the closet.
I, for one, am 1000% against the destruction of languages, since I view them as an art. When I see stuff this horribly translated, I tend to rage.
I didn't go out of my way to learn Japanese, thanks. I've been learning it LONG before I even started playing MapleStory. If you want to be closed minded and call everyone a weeaboo like this, then in the NICEST WAY POSSIBLE, the only thing I can say is, "suck it and die in a pit of fire."
I don't even know what a weeaboo is so I clearly didn't call you that, thanks. And I didn't say "went out of your way to learn it FOR MAPLE STORY." I meant the dumb people who learn it because of the awful overflow of japanese "culture" into western culture. Even though what we get is hardly representative of real japanese.
And uh, yes you did. In another thread just recently someone asked why you call it that and you said "TOUKYOU IS THE PROPER SPELLING." I hate lots of words but I still use them because if you're speaking in english you SPEAK IN ENGLISH. You know what makes more sense than calling it Mirai Toukyou if you hate the word Neo? Just calling it Tokyo. People will know what you're talking about, I assure you. And by doing this you aren't influencing the more impressionable members (the one(s) who my post was originally aimed at, who don't actually know japanese and therefore shouldn't be dropping such terms) and amplifying their obnoxiousness.
S'IL VOUS PLAIT.
