french american using a japanese name Were you even given permission to do so?????
Are you referring to the katakana in my display name here? You do realize that I just took it because that's the Japanese version of Ingo's name, right? Unless ノボリ has a very deep, complex meaning and sacred usage in Japanese culture, I don't think I've actually borrowed anything disrespectfully from that culture.
It's only a problem if I try claiming that this name isn't at all Japanese and I made it up myself. That's called "cultural appropriation". But I never claimed that any of my names were of my own making.
And then, my own personal opinion, I believe it would be wrong if I took a name of a deity or a spiritual figure from any culture or religion. But I'm doing none of those, am I?
"Were you even given permission to do so?????" Am I going to have to call the president of Japan and ask if I can use the Japanese version of a character I kin's name? /s
Also why are you staying anonymous if you think you have a correct opinion? Who are you hiding your account from like this?
Lmfao, you're not actually serious about your opinion or having a real debate at this rate, that's so funny. /s
