I’ll never understand people who get filtered by kanji, it isn’t even that hard. And I also don’t understand the people who watch virtual youtubers without being able to understand them. You’re missing the majority of what’s being said during the streams, and at most you’ll get some guy in the comments summarizing the topic of the conversation. The experience just comes down to watching the funny anime girl “babbling” over Minecraft. If you like virtual youtubers, or otaku culture in general, you should learn Japanese. Because by doing so you get to unlock a whole bunch of media and websites and communities and just general information that you would never know about or experience otherwise, and you can enhance the things that’ve already been translated by instead experiencing them in Japanese. Though I understand that you can already enjoy a lot of otaku culture even without knowing Japanese, and most people don’t care enough about the hobbies or culture to learn the language they’re based around. But just saying that would be a thousand times better and more accurate than making excuses like “there shouldn’t be kanji and because there is I have no reason to learn it!!!”
