Okay I dont know how to reply one on one, so I might as well make a public announcement since this is a common trouble around lives and whatnot.
I do not believe it’s rude to speak English on Japanese sites, at least not to a certain extent.
Have you ever thought that a chinese commenter on Youtube is rude? What about twitter, tumblr or ustream? Exactly.
“But it’s different because English is a global language”
Bullshit. I am Turkish, and I can tell you that whenever different language speakers came on this one Turkish chatting site I used to go to, people either
A) If they dont know the language, they just moved on
B) If they kinda know it, they got excited, tried to make conversation and even showed off later to friends that an overseas person was there.
C) Ofc there was the limited few that started swearing in Turkish to be all “Lmao foreigners don’t get us so we can curse off their whole families” but you know, thats just the typical Turkish asshole.
“But Japanese people don’t feel that way.”
I quite frequently go on random lives with my other Turkish friend. These lives have as few as 20 viewers sometimes. Whenever we join in and say we’re Turkish, the hosts get interested and even happy that there are overseas viewers. They attempt to talk English and make us teach them Turkish words. Never has someone told us to shut up because we’re foreign :/
TL;DR: I think that if its kept at a regular level, it’s acceptable to comment in english during lives. As long as its not conversation, which is spamming basically 8’D Other than that, no one will think youre rude for saying “I LOVE YOU!” in another language.
