I think we've just peaked, inventing new words that don't even exist in Japanese

One of my personal nightmares is to see 4chan-tier memes and insults find their way into the original Japanese script. Instead of being something localisers insert themselves.

Unfortunately, that day may legitimately happen before I die; Toshiaki-kun (Japanese Anon) is aware of 4chan and studies them to figure out what the heck is wrong with their brains. Part of this is due to Nishimura Hiroyuki being a household name among Japanese kids, so Hiroyuki owning 4chan is like him owning a zoo filled with weird and exotic creatures that say outlandish nonsense. But because of this morbid fascination, Gigachad has become a loanword in Japanese, so the title of this thread is incorrect. The word exists in Japanese, and we're all the worse for it.

Chad: チャド
Gigachad: 男性性の塊のような男、ギガチャド
Gigacock: 雷のような男性器、ギガコック
Chad Gigacock: イケメンで筋肉質、チャド・ギガコック

Basically, expect to see a Chad cameo in a manga or anime in the near future.

I still remember when 4chan moved sfw boards to '4channel' to please advertisers or something, that, the increase in advertising shit, the increase in stupid bans/jannies and tor being banned around the time gookmoot took over pretty much sent 4chan to its death... now it's just wojaktards, pickme troons thrown off commie anitwitter and /v/ leaks

also heh, hiroshima is pretty much the prime example of "one piece of experience doesn't entirely translate to another piece" given 2channel was his too
