    To put it in context, the equivalent would be a player from the UK posting that somebody from the USA had verbally abused them in a game by saying "Yee haw, it's all gone to pot because of that bally dimbo WHM, I pay good bees and honey for this sub and feel ripped off, what utter poppycock!" To the UK player (apologies for the ridiculous generalization which is exaggerated on purpose, I know people don't talk like that), it might sound plausible as text a person would type, while anybody who has been immersed in the online community could logically deduce that it probably wasn't what the USA player actually typed because literally nobody talks like that.

    It's possible that somebody could say it, but it's exceptionally implausible. I believe that was what the poster meant; Japanese players wouldn't normally speak that way and an after-the-fact machine translation of mystery text that has never been provided in any form isn't exactly a reliable source. I genuinely don't think anybody is actually doubting that anybody in Japan can be rude or act like a bully, it's just that the specific example sounds incredibly fake.

    Perhaps. The poster did emphasize "public chat" as if to say that something like this being communicated in a private message wouldn't be out of the question. But anyways, we would need that poster to clarify what he meant.

    That is why I asked in the 3rd page of this thread the exact term that was used. This can be a mis-understanding unless the OP is also fluent, and god forbid if google translate or something equally inaccurate was used.
    Google translate is notoriously trash with Japanese.

    I kinda followed this, until I hit "before the mother-in-law finds us"
