https://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/41760551/#q41760551Can you find evidence of ways of using language that seem to be understood and recycled by group members? For example, these could be abbreviations or acronyms, nicknames, technical jargon, jokes, hashtags, emojis…. What is this language doing? How is it working?
Mistah merriku
References a Japanese game director, as well as mocking a stereotypical view of a Japanese accent
Adding Japanese words that are commonly understood on the site to make it seem more “authentic” to how Junichi Masuda would talk
Jokes about a rape allegation of Junichi Masuda and mocks how he would put bugs in the anus of his victims out of enjoyment
It is understood through repetition and adding to the joke, writing in the same style
Mistah Merriku is in reference to Joe Merrick, the owner of Serebii, a pokemon website.
Joe Merrick is known to go onto other pokemon sites and advertise for pokemon, no matter what. He has also been called egregiously biased and thus is made fun of.
Mista
An anime character from Jojo
In reference to the name Mistah Merriku
Joe Merrick is seen dressed up as Mista to further push the joke
Just planning so far. Kind of a mess
