Why do ESLs consume English language media, internet and literature more than their native languages?

I consume more Japanese language media, English media is all goyslop

>>213798553 (OP)
Not an ESL but I only watched American kids shows watching up because English ones were worse in almost every metric.

Mostly not the case here

>>213798645
Is there any russian tv channels with english subtitles?

>>213798609
Horrid Henry was based as fuck though

>>213798553 (OP)
there's no media in my language. also there's far more variety when a language has a lot of speakers.

Most of the media produced in my country is not targeted to my generation. I'm not going to sit and watch some historical soap opera for grandmas. That said most of the English speaking shows or films I watch are at least from the 2000s or older. As for the internet, it's a mix. I do not consume any literature in English.

But like the other Spanish anon said, I consume more Japanese media.

>>213798553 (OP)
Because Anglo Saxon media is superior, period.

>>213798661
Probably on cable TV somewhere. Movies are always dubbed as well though I bet there a niche hipster hours/movie theaters to watch something with subs

Everything in spain or spanish is giganormie. I relate much more with the anglosaxon neuroticism and autism even though i hate anglos with a passion

>>213798707
I was actually thinking of that as I typed it kek. But compare it to shows like American shows, why would a kid ever choose to watch Horrid Henry over Spongebob or Adventure Time? English shows were just worse in every way. Live action sitcoms too, wouldn't catch me dead watching any of the slop shown on CBBC but I'd watch hours of Disney and so would all of the kids in my classes.

>>213798553 (OP)
There's nothing a single decent thing produced in portuguese.
Portuguese is an inferior language to english in almost every metric.

Maybe it's a generational thing. But I grew up watching cartoons that were mostly made in the 80s and early-mid 90s. British ones were crudely drawn and animated, but had some kind of substance. The American ones were basically elaborate toy commercials.

>I relate much more with the anglosaxon neuroticism and autism even though i hate anglos with a passion
why :(

>>213798591
Japanese media is slop though. Also English and Japanese media are only two languages globally consumed slops. I hate this fact.

>>213798851
I'm a zoomer and grew up late 2000s/early 2010s so all of the 'good' British cartoons like Danger Mouse had long been off the air. As you said even as a kid the crudeness and poor animation of our native cartoons was apparent while American ones looked better, were snappier and the benefit to them being toy commercials was that everyone talked about them and played with the toys. I think France makes a lot of good cartoons, I don't know why we didn't follow in their footsteps.

>>213798553 (OP)
Because we're brown and the only good stuff we made was copied from The UK and The US and everything originally Brazilian sucks. Not sure about other countries though. White countries with a big population such as France, Germany and Italy have no excuses to not produce good entertainment.

>>213798553 (OP)
Not even remotely true. English is the language for international communication (all forms, from scientific papers to travel) and that's it.

>>213798858
Because you've been riding us for 400 years ;(

>>213799118
Also, as I was typing this I was listening to an American musician on Spotify (well, at least Spotify isn't Anglo).

>>213799011
I see your point. But America has always been in a position where they can throw more money at a thing to make it look better than it actually is. Just look at their movie industry: Everything looks amazing. High budget special effects, only hiring the best looking actors, but what are they actually churning out? Absolute shit.

>>213798553 (OP)
More and better content available than in german

>>213798553 (OP)
google up myflag speakers, then add swedes to it. it gets ok due to the swedes but still not close to the wast english media. come on, the bothers lionheart isnt exactly lotr and in not saying its bad both had the same impact on me. i just dont watch lionhearts over again for the epic scenery i watched lotr 100 times. you just cant get that without hollywood funding and they requre english to be able to sell it.

to escape from informational GULAG, CORRAL FOR SLAVE CATTLE

The English are just better at producing goyslop thanks to centuries of training by their jewish overlords.

>>213798553 (OP)
simply because of the sheer amount of english content there is you can almost always find a better english alternative to whatever media you wanted to consume in your native language. you would never go to a tiny corner store instead of a giant mall if they were equally accessible, so the same prices and distance. as long as they can speak english they have no reason to consume media in any other language. and over time they can become even more comfortable with english than their native language. i speak turkish for around an hour a day and consume all my media in english for the rest of the day, which further encourages you to consume content in english. few days ago i went out of my way to pay three times the price for a book because i wanted the imported english version because i can read more fluently in english.

>>213801458
Do you find your Turkish skills slipping as you engage more with content in English

>>213798553 (OP)
Not esl, but finnish media sucks ass.

>>213802738
yeah my turkish has noticeably regressed. it's pretty often i forget the turkish word for something and can only remember the english word for it. my internal monologue is also in english, which sometimes leads to me really struggling to express my thoughts or ideas because i can't figure out how to translate them to turkish, it kinda sounds stupid but it really happens.

I personally find English language media to be of higher quality overall. Even YouTube I rarely watch in my language.

>>213798751
What’s wrong with French media?

Foreign media is just whatever was popular in English media 5 years ago

>>213803703
most countries aren't spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on making media
the US is an exception, your media dwarfs the rest of the world in scale and quality, japan is a distant second and everyone else is totally irrelevant
sure a lot of modern american media is embarrassing slop but things aren't much better elsewhere
the same goes for alternative low budget media, english being the lingua franca means english media dominates as well, things like youtube, etc.

>>213798553 (OP)
Tagalog media is surface level, it's the language of slaves, scammers and thieves. Meanwhile with English I have access to the entire internet, if I want to read about space it's in English, programming? English, Drawing? English, good documentary? English

The mouth of the Anglo is the superior one.

>>213803011
you're me

i've even stopped watching english media because everything is just shit these days

>>213798553 (OP)
Because French culture is dog shit. It's very limited and also very arabized. Everything feels like it comes from the same source and always includes the same people. French culture is extremely small and the only innovation comes from American influence.

I really don't like French culture and generally avoid it. It's extremely unpleasant.

because if english media is slop spanish media is ultra mega slop
not only that, there is no original content, its all copies of english

>>213806451
What about music?

>>213807296
The only relevant French music is literally based on American music and is heavily American in aesthetics. Look at all the famous French musicians: Daft Punk, Justice, Carpenter Brut, M83, David Guetta (i know he's nafri-belgian but still)

It doesn't matter anyway because by far the biggest musicians here are all Arabs and Africans making rap music. The most popular actual French musician in France is a wigger Arab gangster wannabe (JUL)

>>213798553 (OP)
Because half of the cool and diverse forms of media (comics, animated shows, live action shows, video games, movies, music) is from the anglosphere. The other half being jap. These are the only 2 territories who developed a strong culture for entertainment media. The rest of the world basically produces jack shit. You have some good indie shit here and there, like some french comics or the occasional underdog video game from places like eastern europe or SEA, but that's about it.

>>213803011
Fucking based. Same here.

>ESLs who post here are social outcasts or spergs back at home
>ESLs have found a community online that "fits" with their worldview/autism and wishes to integrate themselves further with it
>ESLs consume massive amounts of English language media, internet and literature shilled by every other faggot here just so they can fit in

It's not rocket science tbqh.

I wish I could delete this gay language from the mental collective and replace it with english. I fucking hate this language.

>>213798553 (OP)
>English language media, internet
there's much more of it and I can discuss it on 4chan (my only space for social interactions)
>literature
I only read in Polish

>>213798553 (OP)
I sometimes forget in what language are recive information, I consooom media in English, Russian, Kazakh and Japanese

Gook culture/slops in general so fucking sucks.

Wiggers are everywhere. But you're probably the only ones with cultural exports besides the Anglosphere and Japan. Videoclub was popular.
