me:\u00a0Stop.

\n

my brain:\u00a0Listen. It\u2019s a simple, legitimate question. When Trump\u2019s speeches get translated into Japanese, what first-person pronoun do you think they use?

\n

me:\u00a0They don\u2019t have\u00a0to, first-person pronouns are entirely unnecessary in Japanese most of the time

\n

my brain:\u00a0but not always, right? So that leaves you with a tricky situation, doesn\u2019t it? Do you stick to the supposed formality of the situation with something like \u2018ware?\u2019 Or do you convey Trump\u2019s tone with\u2013

\n

me:\u00a0WE ARE NOT FANSUBBING TRUMP SPEECHES YOU RAT BASTARD

\n

my brain:\u00a0TRUMP WOULD SAY ORE-SAMA AND YOU CAN\u2019T PROVE ME WRONG

\n

me:\u00a0STOP I AM NOT A WEEB I SWEAR TO GOD
