Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I started using subs because I had no choice (other than wait for dubs to exist, and then find the place that has it). And after getting a bit used to subs I was surprised to come across some dubbed content but when I tried to hear it I was kinda horrified with the change in the voices from the original characters to the dubbed ones that I just couldn't enjoy it. After this happening on more occasions I started distancing more and more from dubs. Also it becomes clear that there are jokes based on word plays that can't be translated.
Yes! I loved some of Kaio-Sama's jokes in DBZ. Probably the first word play I ever understood in Japanese was his joke about eating asparagus for breakfast.
The Japanese term for "breakfast" is pronounced "asagohan." ("Asa" on its own means "morning".) And the Japanese pronunciation of "asparagus" is roughly "asuparagasu." So the joke was "What's the best vegetable to eat for breakfast? 'Asaparagusu!'" (I think Kaio-Sama's joke adjusted that "u" sound to an "a" sound on purpose to drive the joke home a little better.)
