Excellent time for the Japanese to drop ideogram/logogram system and have an alphabet like a functional language.

edit: Yes, I’m poking fun at the Japanese for using logograms. If your take from this is that I’m saying the Japanese are bad and not that logograms are bad, ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I was actually going to call it a removed writing, referencing how imperial units are known through non-Americans on the internet, but I already knew the word would be censored (yep, I didn’t write “removed”, lemmy did). In hindsight “functional” wasn’t the best pick, not because it’s “offensive” or whatever you may think (in fact, I find it surreal that anyone managed to find it offensive lol), but because it’s not poking enough fun at it… if I said “like a normal language” instead, would you be more outraged by the joke? It seems like a better pick for the future, so let me know - I’m sure I’m going to have more opportunities to poke fun at logograms, and also sure I’ll find more people addicted to being outraged trying to make it about race. So get here your quick fix, I’m basically Hitler.
