My favourite game Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation works again. Ciao!

That can be applied to most hobbies in general. Not using an automated coffee machine? Time worth nothing. Cooking rather buying takeout? Building your own pc rather than buying prebuilt? Drawing rather than generating with AI? Time worth nothing, that’s why.

Pretty sure you aren’t discussing in good faith, but let me add that local Asians like me, aren’t the least bit offended by being called “rice eaters”. I do in fact eat rice almost everyday because I enjoy it. A majority of my countrymen enjoy rice too. It’s also cheap and infinitely customisable, exactly as implied by ricing. I will genuinely be pleased if people in other countries enjoyed our rice dishes.

Again, if you aren’t going to engage me in good faith, just kindly ignore. I will still stand by my point that this is a global platform, and everyone else shouldn’t have to tiptoe around the “rice” term just because Americans can’t treat Asian Americans decently. You guys generated all this baggage on the name of our staple food, maybe you guys should fix it back home first.

As what, an Asian who can read and write English? Just India alone has a significant chunk of the human population, speaking English outside of the typical English speaking countries. It’s not that odd anymore.

For the sake of the American asian diaspora minorities again?

This reminds me of attacking those girls for wearing a kimono or cheongsam to a prom. The Japanese and Chinese living in Japan and China certainly don’t have an issue. It’s the Japanese/Chinese American minority community who has built their identity around it, and feels threatened by the use of their traditional clothing. Fine, the prom is in America, it’s an American problem in an American space, the local diaspora have a say there.

Unixporn on lemmy.ml isn’t American(or any one country) though, clearly there are a variety of people from every corner of the globe here. This place is positively cosmopolitan. I don’t see a reason why the “rice” term still has to be protected despite being a global platform. Just like it’s fine for any tourist to rent a kimono in Japan, it should be fine to use rice as a term here. Unless this platform were to officially become Amerian(or any other country like Fedd.it etc), this problem shouldn’t exist. I’m an rice eating asian myself, I’ll be glad if people were to associate rice with customization.

The Asian American community should keep in mind that the internet isn’t always an American space by default. I don’t think they should be gatekeeping everything Asian on a global platform.
