I agree that the word 'Jap' or 'Nip' is not as harmless as 'Kraut' for example and unless you call somebody in RL it's not a problem to use.
Saying:' I sunk 3 jap tin cans!' = OK
Saying:'You're **** jap' etc = That's a 'NO'

I haven't read yet all of thread where posted here.


I can say as subsim member ,that people of here
doesn't use Jap for offense words.Just easy to write.
Yes I know I don't matter now.

But if I see words "Jap " as a non registered General Japanese,
a little bit sad and feel what a non educational peoples are in here !


Here is international famous forum.
And many nations coming here.
So I want know to all of here,
Not all of but some of Japanese doen' t feel good
if see the word "JAP" .



Hmmm hard to discuss this matter in English....

Thanks for weighing your opinion into the discussion, zaza. You got your point across perfectly. Your English excellent, and a lot better than my Japanese. I respect the fact that many Japanese people and some community members here find it disparaging, thus I won't use it, even under the guise of it being contextually accurate in the historical era covered by SH4.
