    You know, it never made any sense to me that "真・三國無双", which means "True Unrivaled Three Kingdoms", somehow got translated as "Dynasty Warriors"

    where the fuck did the "dynasty" come from, is it like only China has dynasties or some shit

    It would have been kind of cool if DND monks could have borrow from classic wuxia like Tianlong Babu, but it seems like it was created without research using cultural osmosis like if some 90's USAn wrote about "anime highschool" after watching Ranma and Eva :(

    For some reason, many puppets in wuxia and xianwu seem to all be "autonomous, mobile, perpetual motion"... basically like ancient wooden robots wtf

    So there's a Chinese idiom for "your mouth says no, but your body says yes", being "口是心非". Four words to say so much, very fun.

    These chinese protagonists who call themselves 'young master' (not the 'arrogant young master of 少爷', but 'but the little bastards of 小爷') and says fuck ('卧槽') all the time are like the worst and least cultured to the point of gross type of asshole protagonists, immediate turn off

    Merry Christmas, Bii. I have a question for you, if you don't mind.

    I have a friend who posted a Quest in the NSFW section of the forum, one which crosses Gundam SEED with cyberpunk, and I'm helping him write it. So, we're currently wondering which sub-forum of QQ would be the right fit for a vote on the rest of the Combat Party for this particular Quest. Would it be NSFW Questing or NSFW Q&R Index?

    Mew's Chinese names are 夢夢 and 梦幻, but "meng" is also "moe", so 小梦 can be小萌, which is "komoe",

    If you had checked the FAQ, you'd see you need to make a post on a thread for your account to AUTOMATICALLY be approved.

    Mods don't have the ability to verify accounts, that would need to be done via the e-mail sent during the account creation. Or the admins would need to do that.
    Unless you mean getting your first post n the site approved, so you can post elsewhere?

    They say Jin Yong's first love was a girl who was NTR'd from him by her cousin, which is why in all his wuxia stories, whenever there's an older male cousin who is the crush of the female main character, he would always be an asshole who takes her love for granted and tramples on her feelings.

    There is a martial arts idiom that goes, "The hands are two doors, rely on feet to hit"; but it doesn't mean what you think it means. Instead, it means that the hands are like doors that must stay closed, or else you have no defense (especially for head). More importantly, the feet doesn't mean "kick", but "footwork".

    I see some casuals writing in their story about how "every martial arts is a different dialect of the same language" or "martial arts are just flowery bullshit" or whatever Americanisms that tend to pop up in shitty writing, but there's actually a lot of wisdom in martial arts that seems to be ignored by the ignorant. Sad.

    Why is it that some people in HK or TW like to add a "Sir" at the end of their names? It's kind of strange, you know, when someone calls themselves, like, "Biigoh Sir", instead of just "Sir" or "Sir Biigoh", idk.

    I think this might be right, just like how in HK people call law enforcers/policemen "Ah Sir", like how Bii might be called "Abii"...

    I'm impatient to an immature degree so I'm also going to ask here after asking 2 other mods:
    I'm new to the whole forum/thread/quest thing, and I'm completely lost. I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell is happening. Can you give me a generalized run down of how tf this all works because I feel like I'm missing something, especially with the quests?

    I think it was around the time Saekano released that the idea that "tsundere" attribute characters being the final winners in a romance became less like reality and more like a Hollywood lie, well, not Hollywood, but you know what I mean, anime, like a media lie, so these days you don't see many tsundere childhood friend main character female characters anymore

    It feels like most Chinese stories from a female protagonist POV tends to portraying modern society as feudal society and feudal society as slave society

    It seems like in martial arts stories, the top two or three levels are usually conceptual power rather than inner strength, but they call it "intent" and that's kind of weak compared to conceptual magic, but at the same time, "intent" is also used in shitty ass xianxia shit, but they're always described the same in narrative, but the settings are so different, which tells us a lot about the xianxia genre.

    So in martial arts novels, everyone uses something called 金疮药 ("Gold Sore Medicine") to stop bleeding, and it's like this white powder recipe from Ming era monk who made it from ground animal bones, but there's a version on Baidu that uses:

    and then there's a modern upgraded version of this that the army here prescribes to all the privates like the us army tosses aspirin like candy called 云南白药 ("Yunnan White Medicine"), but this one is for bruises, come in pill form or a spray, and there's even a version for pets...

    ... but people here use both of them for broken bones for some reason???
