And no way. People kill for this game.

Also. I'm not Japanese. Don't use honorifics on me. That's actually somewhat insulting. What's wrong with using honorifics? The one Mai18 used for you was an affectionate one. Why get insulted by such a trivial matter? Because we're American, not Japanese, and don't speak Japanese. Therefore, it's appropriation because you're taking bits and pieces of a culture you don't live in, and therefore can be insulting to actual Japanese people. But that's not all: the -chan suffix is only used on females you know well or young girls. Also, you all probably didn't know this, but Eevee is Chinese and, from what I understand, it makes her feel really uncomfortable when people use act that way because of transgressions, both personal and systematic.

Not only that, but it's really weeabooish. The -Chan suffix does not only have to be used for females. It's a suffix used for anyone you're fond of. It's up to you whether it's insulting or not. You can see it as insulting, or see it as people who just love Japan and it's culture. As far as I'm concerned, Eevee stated at one point that she didn't take insults very well. Serza5 said the same thing too (Though I don't remember which thread). Being a Weeaboo is fine, depending on how far you take it.
