That's not what we mean (the ones disputing the translation). Of course it's possible that somebody would type insulting things while JP or using the JP client. The problem is that the specific things they said don't sound plausible. Some of the most cutting, insulting things a JP-speaker can say would machine-translate to be very benign-sounding in English, while the things OP translated in their post are atypically confrontational, given the structure of the language and culture. I have definitely heard JP people (IRL) insulting foreigners before but I have literally never heard anybody, in a game environment, say "go home" in Japanese with it having the exact same nuance it does in EN - and if they've learned that from EN players they would probably type it in EN. I am 99% sure that in this case they were telling OP to leave the party and she misunderstood because she couldn't contemplate why anybody would be displeased by a griefer using their farm party as a learning group and ignoring advice each time they wiped.

I don't know how different it is on Tonberry, which has a higher proportion of non-speakers, but if you don't flag J in DF your queue it will basically never pop, so I'm genuinely surprised that OP claims that she never flags J for learning but gets into all of these parties trying to farm content they've already learned in PF. If that's really true I doubt that the party she was in was even entirely JP players, very few of whom flag E because it's so hard to communicate in tight situations unless they're genuinely fluent. So if all of this is true - which I still strongly, strongly doubt - a report against the problem player would have been the appropriate action.
