oh no not Nene too.... Ollie got this kind of BGM once in a while

Aqua as well. We should totally put them together and try to out BGM each other.

As a matter of fact, there's a seal species that endemic to Japan, tho it's said to be already extinct in 1974. Just sad that Nene is the only Japanese seal that still alive

@@naufalzabady2767interesting info. In other news, sounds like it’s a husbands job to repopulate this endangered wife seal.

Life, eh, finds a way 🤣

Probably thought it was Xi Jinping on her shirt.

Hololive's power of irony is incredible.

To be fair she only had that because she was new to the planet Earth and China was a bigger deal than it actuall was and just mimicked how she thought they dressede

Hahaha I was trying to hear what she said, I'm pretty sure with her pronunciation the cashier knew she wasnt whatever ethnicity they first assumed Nene to be but couldn't figure out what else she could be since she replied.

Just the fact that she didn't simply go for "ni hao ma?" was probably sign 1

Yeah my mom think any dark skin Asian looking person with good hair is Cambodian. Oh boy was she surprised when she went to Hawaii.

That's why DisguisedToast created "Guess That Asian" 🤣

That's pretty much everywhere though. As a European my instinct says I can tell a Frenchman from a Scandinavian and people from Spain from those from Greece - but experience says that's not really reliable... -Except for the continental US I guess, because of the immigrant nature.-

As a Southeast Asian myself, I can actually differentiate the East Asians better lol.

Reminds me of how Asian immigrants in the US will approach Asian Americans they've never met by speaking their native language right out of the gate, and they're surprised when the AA speaks English & tells them they don't understand.

There aren’t that many Chinese people that look like that though. Maybe Nene still uses her debut look in public.

It's like that one meme back then where we say 'Gracias' to the Italians or 'Arigato' to Mexicans

as for cantonese ne hoo is about the closest thing pretty common way to say hello. basically means you good?

You could also go with a less direct translation of 《你好吗？》 to get something that sounds more natural in context and is still fairly close.

@@thisistheboiwould "nay hoe" be better?

It's normal to ask nene's health because it's coming from an employee of a drug store

​@@GREGGFOWLshe was the one asking the employee though lol

Pikamee actually had blonde hair IRL and her school was going to make her dye it black or expel her but her mom pitched a fit and stopped them They made her show her birth certificate or childhood photos or something to prove it was her natural hair color

@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 Why do you think I said what I said?

@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 huh, didn't know pika was a natural blonde

​@@Lewisking50yes, her father was in the US military, so she is half American.

Hailing from planet Tao Tao Yep

Completely agree. It gives the actual feel of how people talk instead of a lie to just try to adapt it to the way they speak in english

Nope, it feels way more jarring. Translations should localize things for their target audience.

@@PrimeGamator ...adapting it is the entire point of a translation. Calling it a "lie" is just edgy nonsense; you sound like a 14-year-old.

@@Wazzen563 No, that's not the point of translation. You can translate something while making sure that the way of speech and other intricacies of the person and/or the language itself are left as is, this allows people to learn about the culture, the language and the speaker instead of keeping everyone ignorant to the differences between two languages. Not every translation needs to be ''by the book'' translation where you disregard absolutely EVERYTHING that makes that speech unique just so that it sounds as if a local speaker was talking. This is something very useful for learning. Also the fact that you inmediately call me ''Edgy'' and ''a 14 year-old'' shows that you are the typical braindead internet user who can't have a civilized discussion so i'm ending it at this answer

@@Wazzen563 Translation is the point of translation. Localization is the point of localization which only also has the objective of translation if you didn't have somebody to do it for you first. And it is sort of a lie, since if you localize something and claim you just "translated" it, somebody might believe you, use your localization as a point of reference for learning the language and then proceed to cause misunderstandings due to ignoring important cultural contexts in the language... as the localizers pretty much always do.

I mean, her original lore is a mix of being an alien and chinese design, she was from the planet TaoTao, but after everything that happened all of it was erased, probably the main reason her redesign took that long.

She's not mixed she is native Japanese. She does look unusual for Japanese due to her large eyes but 100% Asian.

​@@RandomUserX99 her eyes irl are mad small wym

@@icyrazor you must not seen her insta and twitter selfies. She only look small when she smiles because she has the smiley eyes. It's an Asian thing.

It's called xenophobia

@@Purpletrident or sinophobia, shit's so bad theres a whole different term for a specific country

@@Purpletrident Now I remember. It was the Taiwan incident.

@@yeetusdelete0 Red scare be like that

coco 😢

And Taiwanese
