How would you translate oshi?

There are plenty of ways to describe liking something without writing like an underage faggot.

>>281712035

It's not a matter of not being unable to understand it, the problem is that it's fucking retarded zoomer niggerbabble that's an insult to the English language.

>>281712011
>>281712056
Bullshit, never saw it used as a verb like this modern bullshit till post-2020 at least.

>>281712097
None of those are slang like oshi. That's why stan works better.

>>281711983 (OP)
nah unc crashin out ong :skull:

>>281712097
Maybe you shouldn't read stuff about and FOR zoomers then, eh?
>>281712120
Sounds like entirely a you problem

>>281711983 (OP)
What are you going to do about it, nu-boomer? Put off learning Japanese again?

>>281711983 (OP)
Just learn Japanese you fucking retard, knowing enough to read manga is not hard since most mangas are literally for children.

>>281712228
Except they don't, the faggot fucking western trannylators are the ones shoving in the zoomie linguistic rape.

>>281712244
No, the government should do something about this.

You will never read as fast in a foreign language as you do in your native one.

>>281711983 (OP)
In the 2010s, I remember thinking that I'd consider things to be over when I saw the word "selfie" in an officially-translated piece of media. That ended up happening in summer 2016, in the manga Girl on the Shore.

Funny how these things work.

>>281712294
Preventing speedreading is one more reason to read manga in Japanese

>>281712294

Are you in a race? Mommy allows you only 20 minutes of manga a day?

You realise Japanese also has slang, right?

Millennial and Gen Z slang is more intolerable than it's ever been because of how much it's permeated society. You didn't hear corporate CEOs in the 80s saying "COWABUNGA, MONDO COOL!!!!!!".

>>281712519
>originated from that annoying fucking wigger
>still only took off as a term with zoomies
Thank you for making it clear what a kuso term it is.

>>281712519
The term originating with Eminem makes it more insufferable, not less.

>>281712442
It doesn't say "zoomie" in the manga, now does it fagface?

>>281712541
>because of how much it's permeated society
Yeah you're right, old slang terms never became a permanent part of language, like 'okay', 'cool', 'kid', 'movie', 'cop', 'geek' and many, many others

>>281712307
Japan has a word for selfie, 自撮り. I couldn't blame anyone for translating that as "selfie" instead of "picture of myself"

>>281712787
what's the romanji for that? I can't read moonspeak yet

>>281711983 (OP)
Shouldn't you be spending time with your grandchildren?

>>281712775
But those aren't slang because I grew up with them.

You wouldn't. Normalfags should be made look up what it means instead of trying to find an American equivalent.

>Writer?

>>281712460
People your age in Japan think new Japanese slang is dumb too. You're just getting old.

>>281712463
Is there a reason Japan couldn't just use the word "ichiban" or "okiniiri"? Oshi means "to push", as in push someone to become successful, which is retarded as well.

>>281712120
It comes from Eminem in 2000, and then was widely used from there - Nas used it in Ether in 2001 and kpop spaces adopted it from the early 2010s. It's older than 4chan.

>>281712894

Dude you're old as shit and it shows judging by the fact that you notice slang and trends like 4 years too late. If anything the word stan reached it's peak by the mid to late 2010s when the kpopers and other similar types would flood trends in all social media saying ''stan southkoreaplant number 343''. The translation even feels slightly dated nowadays.

>>281712120

Your problem isn't with the translation in this case, because it tried its best to translate "oshi".
Your problem is with retarded zoomers and their retarded idol-/vtuberfaggotry and its brainrot and linguistic cancer making it into today's works.
In short, either get used to it or read something else.

I never liked slang either. When I was a kid, as was discussed earlier in this thread, eminem and rap was super popular and kids wore saggy pants and had rap battles in the hallways and used hood slang. I always thought it was gay and cringe and I still think copying nogs and lowlifes is gay and cringe 20 years later.

>>281711983 (OP)
By accepting they are probably translating the Japanese equivalent of Zoomerspeak in the first place.

You're reading series about teenagers. Teenagers talk like teenagers. If you don't want to read teenagers speaking in teenager slang, read different series not about teenagers.

>>281718215
Just because the series are teenager doesn't mean that they have to act 1:1 identical with real ones. Media isn't real life. There's such a thing as aesthetics and fucking tone.

>>281711983 (OP)
First of all, "stan" is not a contemporary Zoomer word like aura or rizz; it has been around for over 20 years and used in that same context. Secondly, the word they use in Japanese is 沼る, which is Japanese internet slang that means to become deeply obsessed with something/someone. So using "stan," which is also internet slang, is appropriate. Like clockwork, the people most vocal about translation are the ones who know jack shit about the language. Kill yourself.

>>281718425
Retarded zoomer slang doesn't belong in manga, period.

>bitter old man angry at young people for being young
A tale as old as time

>>281718501
Buddy, you are an EOP, I don't give two fucks about your opinion. Either put in the effort and learn Japanese, or continue to cry about the translation made by people who are OBJECTIVELY more knowledgeable than you in this area. Those are you two options.

>>281718378
So they should translate everything into 19th century formal vernacular then? Would you be happier if the characters clearly meant to be or be like modern Japanese youths went around saying 'Prithee' and sounding like Bronte characters?

>>281711983 (OP)
>faggot soilennial lecturing zoomers yet again as if they did it participate in ridiculous slang when they were younger
It’s a single term that doesn’t even register compared to other slang used by this generation or the previous ones. Past a certain age, you should feel obligated to not sperg out over something that trivial, but that’s too much to ask for a 40 something reading some stock high school romcom with light cuck shit.

>>281718682

>>281718378
Take it to author then, not the translators

>>281712460
This anon didn't watch Maebashi Witches. The characters in that sound like absolute retards in Japanese with all the slang. That's by far the anime I've seen with the most slang.

EPIC WIN!

>Zoomers defend using ghetto slang, then act shocked when people dislike it.
Also, just because a word was slang once doesn’t mean it makes sense now. “Bird” used to mean “good,” but if I started saying that today and nobody understood, the problem would be with me. Words only work if people actually know what they mean. If someone has to Google everything you say, you’re not communicating efficiently, and that’s a failure on your part.

>>281712097
>the problem is that it's fucking retarded zoomer niggerbabble that's an insult to the English language.
"Zoomer" and other -oomerisms are also retarded, unintelligible insults to the English language. You're right about "stan" not being a proper verb, but don't be a hypocrite.

I don’t even care, zoomers your slang is objectively reatrded and everyone hates it. I cannot recall a single other time in human history when a generation’s “slang” was so universally reviled.

>Thread of people getting mad that they translated jap zoomer slang into english zoomer slang

>>281719192
>I cannot recall a single other time in human history when a generation’s “slang” was so universally reviled.

I mean it is possible to get to that level. I'm glad at that though to some extent since it allows me to spend more time on a work and is a natural barrier preventing me from speedreading even if I try not to as much as possible.

Gen Z slang is objectively worse then any other slang in the history of English language for one simple reason.

It is recycled ebonic babble, and terminally online social media garbage that would be embarrassing to say outloud in real life that is seeping into the English language, along with ESL retardation destroying how the English language ought to function.

>>281720967
Wait until you find out how much of 20th century slang came from black people, ie "ebonic babble". Some of which, the stuff that didn't go out of style, you likely still use today without even knowing it.

Why you faggots trying to rewrite history and pretend that anyone outside of subhumans in Detroit ever used "stan" as a verb at any point before 2020? Eminem was popular in the early to mid 2000s in Jr High and I have NEVER head anyone used the word "stan" like that ever.

Here are some other trends in the English language that started in the late 2010s that aren't normal but dumbasses like you will normalize just because these are words that have been around for a while.

Using the word "folk" as a replacement for people.
Using "singular they" and ignoring that the neutral singular pronoun is "it" or "he".
Unironically formatting pronouns like you/fag

>>281720893
Thats not the issue, the problem is with interpreting instead of translating and informing the reader of their culture

>>281721243
He has strongest aura ITT.

>>281721263
For one I can vouch of having heard and see (specially on Twitter) of the word stan being used as a verb as earlie as 2015 with the kpop cuckoos

>>281721263
great bait but also exemplary post of someone with too much time on their hands and or not enough going on in their life

>>281718694
nta but I'm learning for this very reason, they have more technical knowledge however it seems modern translators care only about interpreting and not translating while trying to keep some of the source culture, it sucks but it is what is the industry took a wrong turn and I can't help but refuse to like it

>>281721012
I am aware, that is not some secret knowledge you retarded American.

Thankfully, Whites selected out the more stupid ebonics out of the English language. Ebonics inherently is gross because its basically africans trying to adapt the English language to their smaller prefrontal cortex brains. OP has every right to be disgusted, its like imagine if we started getting English translations of manga, and they all speak like blacks. Zoomer slang is terminally online ebonics, often repeated by ESL. This degregation of the English language on the net is something that isn't discussed often enough, but I'm sure its something anyone who is a native speaker of English has noticed.

People who complain about this are the same people who clap when "リア充" gets translated as "normalfag." It's hypocritical.

>Using "singular they" and ignoring that the neutral singular pronoun is "it" or "he".
No matter how much you people say this it will never be true. I've been hearing it since at least the early 00s but given how young I was then it definitely was used prior to that in everyday conversation. And given how much people try to keep it from being used in formal papers and documents that just shows how normalized it's always been.

Shut the fuck up with your stupid strawman, retarded faggot. This slang is cringe, these characters are not meant to be talking like this. You can't just throw in slang wherever and expect it to work. There's such a thing as aesthetics and fucking tone. Clearly, your zoomer retard brain knows nothing of either.

>cringe
>millennial trash filtered by Shakespeare

>>281721973
But people like you argue that Japanese gen z slang shouldn't be translated as American gen z slang. That is the definition of preserving aesthetics and tone. Not just ignoring it because you don't like the equivalent American slang.

Yes

No, it isn't you fucking retard. It's cultural vandalism.

>>281722106
That's only one example, but even then, you're translating slang to non-slang, which is not preserving aesthetics and tone. If the character sounds like a retarded internet poster in the Japanese then them sounding like a retarded internet poster in English is preserving the aesthetics and tone.

>>281718821
>So they should translate everything into 19th century formal vernacular then? Would you be happier if the characters clearly meant to be or be like modern Japanese youths went around saying 'Prithee' and sounding like Bronte characters?

correct, yes, unironically. yes, it's actually possible for one thing to be good and another thing to be bad.

>>281722138
Actually it still would be preserving aesthetics and tone because zoomer speak is fucking garbage.
>NNOOO THEY MUST SOUND LIKE MUP DA DOO DIDA
No. Those translations sound far better than the zoomer slang being forced in.

>>281722191
You can equate it to stan on the tlnote for all I care if you don't want to write too much, but the point is to stop translating slang, proper nouns and names of things.

Gentleman, another case of disgusting cringe cultural vandalism.

>>281712056
>This has been used since the early 2000s, it’s from the Eminem song
Being "a stan" was
But "stanning" as a verb is a 2020 thing, mostly due to the rise of kpop in the US social media space.

>>281722268
You're still ignoring the fact that they sound retarded in Japanese just because you hate how modern people speak in English.
>>281722291
At some point you're going to end up with the dialogue being half in Japanese if you just stop translating things because you don't like the best fitting translation. I'm all for not translating some terms if there's issues but the only issue here is non-Japanese speakers not wanting retarded sounding Japanese slang translated to retarded sounding English slang because they were bullied in school by a white kid that spoke in ebonics.

It's always funny seeing on /a/ people getting upset about completely accurate translations because they think everyone in Japanese speaks entirely formally and with no slang.

There is a very real issue here beyond some nigger having a hate boner for zoomies, if you interpret slang you lose all cultural significance. Having an oshi is not the same thing as a stan, theyre very similar but oshis come from idol culture and japs are very autistic about that, as much as I hate idolniggers this is something that needs to be kept if you simply use stan then everyone assumes different and issues arises, most people actually believe to have an actual relationship (as in friends) with their oshi while stans dont

You have to go back

>>281722528
And this is an actually good explanation and not just retarded "I hate how black people talk" blabbering that typically fill threads like these. If only this kind of criticism was more widespread when talking about how to translate slang instead of how it usually goes.

i always thought it (oshi) was korean. i don't know any korean, but it just "felt" korean for some reason.

>>281722528
My favorite stan

>>281722588
Yeah well I've tried to make this point five times on this thread already, but I'm surrounded by bots it seems (not you who actually read)

>>281712120
Stupid zoomer.

mango is the actual books of millennials and gen x, it's a new boomer medium. webtoons are more of your time thing.

>(not you who actually read)

sometimes manga gets too weird man...

>>281722588
But yeah like an example can be found a couple chapters ago whit that golem dude, he's behaviour is normal shes my oshi stuff (which is absolutely fucking autistic, borderline creepy, and I hate that guy with a passion) but not for stans, if back then when would've referred to ogami as his stan and then proceeded to say all that stuff and behave like he did it would not make a lick of sense beyond that dude being a creepy weirdo obsessed with someone, because that's not how stans work

jfc i really need to sleep I'm sorry for all the grammar murder I just did but I can't be bothered to fix it, you can read it properly I hope

you do realize gen z started in 1997? 2005 is right in the middle of gen z/zoomer time.

>>281722679
This is funny though so it’s okay.

Hey retard, fantls have always done this. This is, in fact, a majority of the reason why official TLs do it, because those same fans got real jobs in the industry.

I remember Ebisu in Dorohedoro talked like this too in the fan translation.

>>281722862
You now remember when the guys doing the dominant speedscans for every major manga wrote shit like this

I figured out when I was younger, I was more willing to accept new things and use them immediately
I realize that the older people get, the less willing they are to learn new things, especially if they already have something similar for that idea already and are much more critical at using anything new to them

>>281712140
can you use oshi as a verb like stan?

>>281722563
you don't think too much, do you? gen z slang (this thread) is adapted ebonics, and ebonics is an uniquely american thing. thus gen z slang is american slang, which is why he's talking about americans.
the world wasn't so globalized 30 years ago. i grew up under soviet union's influence for example and internet wasn't even properly available here outside of extremely expensive and slow dial up until sometime in the 2000s when i was already adult, so even though i fit your early millennial time, it'd make me at best a russia-aligned ""millennial"" lookalike.

And I wouldn't have it any other way

Is this even a real page?

Translator/localizer threads are all agitprop and should be banner

>>281727531
if "agitprop" was to be banned, every single pro-lgbt thread and the entire lgbterrorist userbase would have to be banned.

>>281721711
It's like if I said "I saw it on 4chin". Whatever slang or speech I see on 4chin is -not- indicative of how people talk normally and that is the topic of contention, does anyone actually use the slang.

>>281711983 (OP)
jp page where?
