Then don't use words you don't understand fully? Seems stupid to me to use a whole culture as your "aesthetic".

        Who exactly is hurt by the naming of this project?

        Is this "stealing"? Is it stealing any time somebody in another language uses a borrowed English word? This is a pretty extreme reaction, honestly. I fail to see how a minor misunderstanding of a Japanese word could possibly affect anybody negatively. Could you give a single scenario where this use of this word is harmful?

    And yet, here you are, complaining about people complaining.

      That's not at all incongruous. If I'm saying "You are complaining about something stupid", I am not necessarily criticizing the concept of complaining itself, which would be hypocritical. I seriously hate this argument. "You are nit-picking", "and here you are nitpicking my nitpicking, interesting that we are on exactly equal ground now". It's a dumb turn-around that could be used to attempt to silence any criticism of any criticism. Sometimes, a criticism or complaint is not valid or frivolous. Pointing that out is not inherently invalid or frivolous.

        In the same vein, it's annoyingly difficult to argue against accusations of being argumentative.
