132. Why do people think this is so unusual? Most of the people I know feel the exact same way, myself included.

140. Why shouldn't it?

152. This. Fucking this. I hate it so much when people say YOW-EE. It's like someone is stabbing me in the ear. They usually say it in that horrible screeching fangirl voice, too. I hate. Oh I hate.

152

[identity profile] donoka.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Just out of curiosity, how is it actually said? :O I never bother saying it out loud, cuz I don't know how to pronounce it~

Re: 152

[identity profile] pana.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Japanese syllables are pretty much always pronounced the same way. It's yah-oh-ee.

152

[identity profile] jetaimerai.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Except that the word has now been adopted into English, and therefore has no obligation to be pronounced the Japanese way - and shouldn't be, because pronouncing it that way just sounds incredibly stiff and weird in the context of English.

Also, you should maybe find other yaoi fangirls to be around. I definitely don't have a "horrible screeching fangirl voice" but I say it as yow-ee. :P

Re: 152

[identity profile] pana.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I. Don't. Care.

Actually, I don't care when most words are mispronounced but because of the tendency for this particular word to be mispronounced in the most fucking annoying way possible, I hate it. YOWEE. It sounds like you stubbed your toe but you're too polite to say FUUUUUCK.

Dude, you can't avoid those pieces of shit when you're at a convention. My friends aren't the ones who are retarded.

Re: 152

[identity profile] jetaimerai.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, you have the right to hate how it's pronounced; that's your prerogative. But saying "this" implies that you think that people are stupid for pronouncing it that way, when they're not. Hate all you want, but don't insult us because we pronounce things the way that English phonology actually dictates for them to be pronounced, mmmkay?

Re: 152

[identity profile] pana.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehhh, no. I'll probably go on thinking you're stupid.

Just like I think people are kind of stupid when they can't say my name right after knowing me for years.

Re: 152

[identity profile] jetaimerai.livejournal.com 2008-11-22 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you're just a douche, okay! Have fun with that, then.

Wow, a nitpicking anime fan who whines about correct pronunciation. You must be a barrel of laughs at parties.

Re: 152

(Anonymous) 2008-11-23 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I agree.

Also, just to add: A nitpicking anime fan who whines about correct pronunciation of a word that generally describes material featuring explicit sex between two fictional males. I'm sure everyone gets a kick out of them.

Seriously. You're 24, it's time to move on.

[identity profile] continuum.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
132. I think the fact that people feel this is "wrong" or "abnormal" is just kind of a testament to how mainstream society and the media has the utter inability to differentiate between fiction and reality with all their bullshit about how OMG! Video games are responsible for social violence! Gossip Girl has sex on the show and girls who watch it are more likely to have sex!

Um, no. Correlation =/= causation.

Eli Roth may create sadistic torture porn like Hostel, but I wholeheartedly believe that he and his fans are not all a bunch of raving, foaming serial killers or that they're somehow screwed in the head. Similarly, I can enjoy watching people blow shit up in a movie and still know how to draw the line wherein I would most definitely not enjoy the same thing in real life.

So eloquently put. I agree, I agree.

Thanks, you've put it so well. :)

Re: 152

[identity profile] lanjelin.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
But... yow-ee is pretty much how the word is pronounced in Japanese (as far as I can tell; English is my second language). What's the problem?

Re: 152

[identity profile] pana.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's not the same. The way I've heard it pronounced by Americans, they use a long W sound that simply shouldn't be there. YOWWWWEE. No. Yaaah-oh-ee.

Re: 152

[identity profile] lanjelin.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, all the syllables are supposed to be short, of course. I haven't heard it pronounced by an American; it's hard to tell what people try to describe by text alone, sometimes!

Re: 152

[identity profile] pana.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's basically their inability to keep their mouth movements precise. Laziness, as far as I can tell. They go straight from ah to ee without forming an oh clearly, so it turns into wwwww. That's the best that I can describe it, lol.

[identity profile] donoka.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
I have to agree with the american thing, they have a sorta drawly accent so it might be why, it's probably just similar to the way Japanese people can't pronounce the name "George" etc.
