the hardest part of reading naruto fanfic is frankly not sorting through all the stuff i don't care about or trying to ignore awful characterization. it's trying to survive the attempts at japanese. why couldn't my special interest have been in literally any other language.

he would not fucking say that. he would not fucking conjugate verbs like that. he would not use that honorific for that person. that one isn't even an honorific at all. you're killing me

#personal #vent post #naruto #naruto shippuden #fandom crit #google translate is not your friend. just write english in italics or something i promise you it will serve you better #like ok i'm obsessed with language and other people aren't i get it but. come on #i feel like that comic about people overestimating what people outside their field know #''surely everyone knows that figures of speech vary by language. ofc everyone understands the differences in sentence structures''#''clearly the cultural differences that even i struggle to comprehend will be properly interpreted by people who don't share my interest''#i love language. i hate language. i'm going to feed myself to whatever lives at the bottom of the ocean #it gets worse the older the fic is too
