    People do the latter in every country, it's not like a certain English speaking country doesn't have a big mass-shootings issue.
    But I mean cultural differences in regards to how you speak to people is definitely a thing, imo I think Japan takes it in the extreme opposite but still.
    There's a lot of Eastern artists who actively avoid the English side of the internet even tho they're fluent in English or have abandoned it after harassment, I know that this is an issue on Twitter in particular.
    There was a Japanese artist who got harassed into removing all of their free art tutorials because people got so insanely angry that they used the word '' beginner '' in some of their tutorials.

    The English side of the internet is pretty damn crazy yeah...
    Is that even up for debate rofl?
    Maybe you don't have another frame of reference but based on my experience with multiple different languages online at least it's true.
    And it's probably a pretty big culture shock if English isn't as ingrained into you as it is for most Europeans and you didn't get into the English side of online culture when you were young.
