When picking an alias for your social media, do you avoid using letters that don't translate to japanese? Like, L, or combinations that aren't Hiragana. I know it might sound autistic, but I think it matters

>> No.6383453

For example, a username that uses the letter C followed by the letter D is not Hiragana compatible because letters aren't standaloneq

Probably. I think Japanese would also find you weird caring about something like that. They would immediately identify you as one of those weird western otakus.

>> No.6383463

It's not because I'm hard otaku or whatever I just thought of it because the algorithm or maybe if Japs want to search your profile then they can't with their keyboard, or something idk

If they are using a western board I'm sure they know how to type western characters.

A lot of them have basic knowledge of English, not necessarily enough to hold a conversation but enough to recognize certain words. Take a look at a game in Japanese and you'll see that a lot of ingame menus are in English.

>> No.6383473

>>6383467
what do you mean, Japanese people use hiragana keyboards so they can't write a western combination like LTP or whatever.

look at most of their usernames in social media, pretty sure they are just hiragana in romaji

I unironically don't give a shit about the japanese. They make cool cartoons and video games, their country is relevant in a ton of fields, I'm sure they're decent people, but in the end Japan is some archipelago in the middle of the ocean I'll never go to so I don't worry about what they think about me the same way they don't give a fuck what some unemployed gaijin on 4chan thinks about them.

No, they don't. They use very slightly modified QWERTY keyboards that double as hiragana.

they don't use kana keyboards. they can either type non japanese words an it will show up as suggestion, they can use a command that turns whatever they typed into latin letters, or they can switch keyboard to writing in latin letters with a command. for example, if i write stupid with the keyboard set to japanese, sつぴd shows up on the line, but the word stupid appears on the suggestion that you can select. it doesn't work for all words, but for something like a username that doesn't show up on the japanese suggestion dictionary, it will show up. or there's a keyboard shortcut that can turn what you typed into latin letters, hiragana, or katakana instantly.

In what context would this even be an issue? The only time they're going to be attempting to search or type your name is if they already know who you are, it's not like they're gonna scroll past you on twitter or pixiv and go "oh a cool artist, but I'm confused by this letter at the start of their name, I can't easily type it on my phone, better not follow them".

>> No.6383507

>>6383496
they either use the swipe kana layout or the qwerty keyboard layout on mobile that can give suggestions or can type instantly to latin letters on pressing space. keyboard apps vary, but japanese mobile keyboards have this functionality.

No. I just look up a random word to base it on or the alias came to me in a dream.

That doesn't help you at all and you should dream of hearing a Japanese person pronouncing your name wrongly, because it means you succeeded.

they probably do that because it’s how you would spell their japanese name on an english keyboard.

I remember a bunch of years ago when things were going to shit but there still were "concept art" wannabes here (before the tumblr pornocalypse) there were people trying to find a formula for usernames. there were all sorts of theories like how long should the username be, what sounds are more memorable, they even tried to reverse engineer known handles, all that shit
then you'd see people who made an account like "butt1234" and posted some shitty porn and got 100000000000000000000 followers in 2 days

>> No.6387697

>>6387695
actually "butt1234" is not a good example since it's actually sort of memorable and straightforward, it was more like "peepeepeeepooooooo1237" where you have to remember exactly how many eees and oooos there are and people would STILL fucking find the account
you could have a handle written in random fucking unicode characters and people wouldn't have a problem with it if you draw some goddamn fucking porn
