Tokyo Cosplish school offers "cute English"

Found this out through SA

the article said:
Japan's geek market, which covers comics as well as "anime" animation movies, computer games and role-play cafes, has been estimated at some $1.7 billion in 2007. Since Otaku are generally enthusiastic spenders, a multitude of businesses has sprung up to feed the growing market

Never knew there was such a thing as a role-play cafe  --;

the article said:
Students at the school discuss their favourite comic books and films, and learn slang used in English online chatrooms and mobile phone messages, including popular abbreviations such as "GR8" ("great") and "B4" ("before").

Dude, Cosplay Cafe's are all the rage, man. Maid cafes and even yaoi cafes, too.

...

For the love of god, I hope nobody needs me to explain yaoi. ._.

But yeah, giving text speak to the Japanese sounds like a HORRIBLE idea...

... Well, nothing quite like being blunt. So, Gay sex cafes, then! Although I don't think any actual gay sex occurs... At least I don't think so.

I DIGRESS.

Does anyone else think there's going to be a subsection of Engrish coming thanks to this? n00brish?

the concept of yaoi and yuri is same sex romance, if it has sex orlacks it is a completely different matter as is not teh sex that defines the genre, unlike hentai. what X said before is like saying that all french movies are XXX movies.

Seriously? You're going to get worked up over me not knowing what the difference between Yuri and Yaoi is? Who do you think I am? You?

HAHAHAHA, seriously, get a life.

GEE TEMPEST!! YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO DISGUSTING FORMS OF PORNOGRAPHY IS!! SERIOUSLY!!!
Not everyone reads Yuri and Yaoi comics, unlike yourself, Mr. Huge Hentai Folder, we don't ALL know the specifics about such an amazingly deep concept as Yaoi and Yuri.

But honestly, I don't want to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, so just admit to your troll and move on, you could've kindly corrected me, but NO, you had to be a dick about it.

Imagine a zanguief runing to attack ryu, ryu does a quick+kind of weak fast punch and hit the chest of zanguief, will this punch be enough to zanguief say/think \"oh no, this punch hurted a little, I better stop the attack and put my hand on my chest to help contain the pain while ignoring if ryu is going to make other attacks now"

OMG, LOL, GR8, ROFL....little quips like those have been around since the late 90s and now people are making it out to be the latest thing.

Eh, better to leave it alone at let the ignorant bask in (their eyes) something hip and new that's old and tired to us.
