Danganronpa Fanbase Please Learn About Japanese Cultures...

I wanna talk about something that's been bothering me since I entered the Danganronpa fanbase.

Why can't some people do actual research before echoing what they see from one person?

I'm talking about the "Kaito is homophobic" remarks I've been seeing.

I went around and did some research and wow, the fanbase in the West is a mess.

It's all a literal culture difference/mistranslation.

Here's what a Japanese translator said on reddit, they explain the word that Kaito uses and how the Japanese media have normalized in using this word.

Danganronpa Fanbase Please Learn About Japanese Cultures...

The word is normalized that Japanese teens use it often like how the West uses the word "Fuck".

Japan's culture is just different with how they perceived in what is offensive and what isn't compared to the West.

The word is used alot in Children shows in Japan. The Japanese society didn't see it as a problem back then. Shows like Naruto, One Piece, HxH and Ouran High School Club have used the exact same word.

I've even have seen how in Persona games they treat trans as a comedy in the games. I remember people calling Ryuji "homophobic" for that one scene in the red light district, I believe in the Japanese version Ryuji called them that same word too. Of course it's supposed to be seen humorously for the Japanese fans. The West localization changed it to fit better in our culture.

I've also read from a Japanese redditor that the Japanese fanbase were using this word BEFORE the release of the game. They were already using this word to describe Kiyo.

In conclusion, it's a big culture difference. The Japanese fanbase are completely different from the West. Japanese society is slowlg changing their LGBTQ views but it can't be changed when the games are old now.

This is also speaking about the animes that have been mentioned. The fact that this word was in Children's shows in Japan was something new to me, so it explains alot why teens have normalized this word.

Kaito: It's pretty cold outside, don't you think?

Shuichi: Yeah. We should hold hands. And probably stand close together to conserve body heat.

Kaito: Exactly! Good idea, Shuichi.

Maki:

Maki: It's fucking ninety degrees outside.

Hey everyone. I hate that I’m here once again announcing that I’ve made another callout video, but this one is really serious. So please, if you’re in a safe headspace to do so, please watch this video. It’s in some ways a follow up to my Zemaroon video, but this time it’s about Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 (the ones referred to as “F” and “V” in the previous video).

Agent0Fluffy has been beyond inappropriate with a minor, and both Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 are a danger to minors overall.

If you’re comfortable doing so, please also share this video to help spread awareness about what these people have done – especially Agent0Fluffy, who has a large platform, and whose actions are technically a crime. The more awareness is raised, the easier it’ll be to prevent something terrible like this from happening again.

I truly didn’t want to have to do this, and working on this video for the past two months has felt like absolute torture. All I’ve ever wanted to do is make content to entertain people, and instead I’ve become a harbinger of despair, spreading misery across the fandoms that I love. But I can’t sit by and allow people like Zemaroon, Agent0Fluffy, and GravityUniverse115 to continue endangering others. My inaction made me complicit before, and I won’t allow that to happen again.

I’m emotionally preparing myself for the backlash I’ll probably receive from this video, but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I sat back and allowed more people to get hurt. Depending on how bad the backlash is, it’s possible I might step away for a while. We’ll see how things go. But after being emotionally beaten down for all of 2024, this whole situation with Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 has felt like some kind of deathblow. I was trying so hard to glue together the shattered pieces of what I’d built, but they’ve been scattered so far now, I don’t think many of the pieces can ever be found again.

I hope there will be better times ahead, but that’s seeming less likely with each passing day. Perhaps it would be better to say: “I hope there will be safer times ahead” for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive through all of this, and to everyone who's helped out with this mess. And to everyone who's been affected by all of this, I am so sorry. I truly do hope things will get better soon..........
