So does everyone on HN just understand this Japanese word? Even the original video says (shut in).
- setr 3y agoit's pretty well known/used in english online communities, yes. especially if you go anywhere near anime.
- HPsquared 3y agoEspecially online communities about computers.
- INTPenis 3y agoNot to me, and I've been involved in online english communities since the late 90s. I have heard otaku though.
- extragood 3y agoIt was a pretty popular subject on HN as recently as a few years ago. I dont know very much Japanese, but I am familiar with that one due to the other articles that explore the culture. I suspect that there's also some bias at play: the people who are commenting are ones who are already familiar with the term.
