I think the winning son meme is about dads who's just trying to bond with his son, but not really understand much about what his son is playing. It's like 'dad trying to be hip' kind of meme?

[@TheMattVis]

Yes, that's basically it, cause parents (usually dad) don't really like a son that play a lot (that's normal though), basically it's a heartwarming meme about somewhere in this world, there is actually dad like that who actually try to know his son hobbies (usually playing games), so as long as it's game, win is basically the most great status for the son. It's more a stigmata about dad usually don't wanna know about the games that their kids played,,,, cause parents usually always have bad impression about games (which I can not blame them though), and that's why it's the meme try to tell that the dad try to get closer with his son. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

[@rogueshadow1933]

@@TheMattVis The original "are you winning son" meme was of a dad walking into his son's room, asking "are ya winning, son?" The son was playing an anime hentai game with a VR headset masturbating with a sex toy. It's why Iofi reacted the way she did. It gained traction again years later and has become a more general wholesome meme, but I think the widespread understanding of it is still generally the hentai one.

[@maninredhelm]

The original comes from an old movie (not super old, but not recent) in which the dad is disappointed in his son playing some nerdy game instead of doing something more cool and ambitious, and hopes that at least his son is winning at it. So it was more like "**disapproving sigh** are you (at least) winning, son?" I can't for the life of me remember the name of the movie that scene comes from though, and now if you search for it all you get is memes. And it was only a small, 5 second joke that had nothing to do with the rest of the story. But the dad wasn't trying to be "hip," he thought what his son was doing was embarrassing. He'd probably feel the same way if his son was watching vtubers.

2:13 = An TL note and not just a cry for help. Iofi genuinely misremembers the word for "interest" and mixes it up with "hobby" since they sound similar in Japanese and the meanings are close enough as well. So it's not a freudian slip. She also happens to mispronounce "interest" as well. 3:14 - Roberu trails off pretty hard here, which is the reason why Iofi gets super confused. To prevent the screen being filled with ellipses and like three different slightly related thoughts, I put in that garbage instead. 3:25) Dialects and accents aren't actually interchangeable in a linguistic sense. Compare how Scots talk and pretty much how every other englishperson speak. That's a dialect. In reality though, nobody actually cares except language nerds. 5:38: Roberu actually says 微温 here but I felt using any of the any conventional definitions kind would make Roberu seem a lot more negative than he's saying. Not totally satisfied with what I went with either though.

Funny, my textbook also uses Scottish as an example. The sentence *You don’t know what you’re talking about* will generally “look” the same whether spoken with an American accent or a Scottish accent. Both speakers will be using forms associated with Standard English, but have different pronunciations. However, this next sentence - *Ye dinnae ken whit yer haverin’ aboot* - has the same meaning as the first, but has been written out in an approximation of what a person who speaks one dialect of Scottish English might say. There are differences in pronunciation (e.g. whit, aboot), but there are also examples of different vocabulary (e.g. ken, haverin’) and a different grammatical form (dinnae).

"I wanted to watch unsubbed anime", so basically like a lot of people then that want to learn Japanese lol. Is that really the definition of the winning son meme? Its even confusing looking at the source.

[@anotherbadtranslator5019]

Yes and no. Iofi doesn't really know how to explain it, so she only does a 1:1 translation. The meme itself isn't really anything special. It just perpetuated from a comic and the phrase itself is catchy and ridiculous so people say it a lot.

[@NeflewitzInc]

The origins of the meme was something that would literally happen to people. A lot of times parents become very removed from the world of entertainment that their children inhabit, especially in the teenage years, but they still recognize games when they seem them. A good natured father that wants to check in on his son would ask him if he's winning, because he can obviously see that his son is playing a game, which usually has winners and losers. This cultural, cross generational saying has persisted in the western zeitgeist for so long that it finally became a comic that was extremely relatable to most people. I've personally had this happen to me three times by two different fathers while playing D&D and once while playing World of Warcraft.

[@anotherbadtranslator5019]

People really overstate the don't learn from anime thing. It's mostly fine as long as you're very aware that everyone in anime speaks extremely casually or extremely formally and that they never adjust they way the speak according to the situation. Since if you're learning from anime, you're probably learning via phrase collection so things like intonation don't matter much. Also obviously don't like, exclusively watch overly chuuni or shounen-y stuff. But Iofi does admit in a different stream with someone else that she eventually switched over to watching medical dramas as her primary source of learning. Since there's a lot of vocab there to learn ontop of the more realistic intonation that normal actors have over seiyuu. And because dramas often reflect listening and responding to listening, which is something anime barely ever does despite it being a core part of Japanese.

I think the reason why east asians couldn't mastered English as easily as other Asians is because their alphabet system. Other Asia countries has been using western alphabet for hundreds years compared with east Asia who use their own alphabet system since their creation. Since the aalphabet system is too different, their tongues couldn't speak it as easily as their mother language.

”Kansai dialect”, eh? 🤔 Does it have somesort of ”stereotype” in Japan? I mean by... for example; in Finnish dialects ”Savonian dialect” has a Finnish inside stereotype of folk with dislocated lower jaw and straight honest answers. 😅

I'd say in general it's more of a lively, expressive somewhat gruffer way of speaking. I usually hear it compared to british Cockney or an American Southern accent. IIRC Osaka is rural and it's considered to be a less refined way of talking like a southern accent is in the US as well.

[@Harril8265]

@@trustmeImadoc91 Osaka is metropolitan, but the region it's in, Kansai, is analogous to the American South in terms of how the country perceives it. According to stereotypes: At best, they're folksy, lively & boisterous (as well as natural comedians if they're Osakan), and at worst, they're idiotic, crude hicks.

Everytime I see this guy's collabs, I keep thinking why the hell aren't there Hololive male vtubers? And I mean like in HololiveEN, HololiveIN, HololiveJP, any of those. Is it because guys can't be considered Idols and so they can't be placed on the same platform, or is there an entire whole other reason they aren't involved? Although, once I see female simps for male vtubers, I'll probably end myself. EDIT: I just realized Holostars is male only. Those female looking guys had me confused as fuck. Okay, well as long as the whole gimmick of Holostars is male only, I can understand. I just thought it was some guys and like two girls. Though I still think this puts them at a disadvantage, and it would be better to just include them in the other branches for more exposure. And so they can get more translations. Since the people who devote their time into translating are mostly simps xD

[@Harril8265]

It doesn't really put them at a disadvantage at all. Hololive & Holostars aren't in competition with each other. The only real reason why Hololive is so much more successful is because there's a much bigger demand for anime girls than anime boys. They get exposure thanks to collabs with Hololive & other vtubers, but the numbers are lower simply due to lower demand, so I don't think formal integration would actually help much. Not to mention, if I were in their shoes, I'd want to earn whatever success I achieved, and I'd feel like any success directly resulting from integration with Hololive would just be unearned number inflation; essentially riding on their coattails. The thing is, Hololive is ostensibly an idol group, and the idol industry in Japan has iron-clad categorical separation between female & male talent, since each category is precision-engineered to appeal to the opposite sex as the target audience. Simply put, formal integration of Hololive & Holostars isn't even a possibility due to this format.

@@Harril8265 It just feels like the guys at Nijisanji get more recognition even though there's an enormous roster over there. Sure, Hololive has gotten huge, but roster wise its still only half the size of Nijisanji. I always placed Roberu on the same league and pedestal as Belmond, I find both of them extremely talented and able of keeping a conversation relaxed and going. Yet Belmond has 200k more subscribers. It really feels like Holostars has barely any exposure, I mean before I made this comment I was watching Hololive for 14-17 months and just barely heard that Holostars even existed. It felt like I had to go out of my way just to discover there's another platform of Hololive. But with Nijisanji it doesn''t feel like that, I discover male talents so easily because they're just collaborating with everyone. Maybe its because of that whole idol thing, but come on, tradition isn't always good. If "tradition" of idols is the equivalent of posting a sticky note of "Girlz Rules and Boyz Drool!" onto a pillow fort, then that tradition is doing nothing but harming these talents. Why are they treating this wannabe idol culture the same as they'd treat the traditions spoken by some bald monk sitting in seiza? This tradition is completely backwards. Putting aside whether its possible or not, I still believe they would extremely benefit for this. And that old-fashioned negative thinking of feeling like it wasn't your win is incorrect. The numbers you gain from this aren't just because you were added into something, it was because you were exposed to a broader audience that now has access to your content. Those added numbers only add another challenge, a challenge that you should accept and try your best to keep those new numbers. Your numbers would only rise because these people would realize how much they enjoy even male content. They'd only subscribe to you if they enjoyed that content. Anyone who felt otherwise probably never feel deserving of what's theirs and theirs alone. But they shouldn't feel that way, its their win. And no one can take that from them but themselves.
