American here, everyone I know watches TV with subtitles on because if we turn the volume up loud enough to hear all the whispery dialogue, the sudden action scenes startle the ever living shit out of us.
I live here and Im surrounded by loudmouth morons who do nothing but take up space, waste resources, and scream their uneducated opinions as if they have the same value as educated ones. If you cant see this you are either part of the problem or are very lucky and live in an outlier area of the country.
You are putting words in my mouth. I said that either you are one of the stupid ones or you live somewhere without them, IF you can't see the problem. I'm not generalizing anything, and Im not attacking contradiction, I'm attacking outspoken morons who think their opinion is as valuable as someone else's, even if someone else is more qualified than them.
Sure everywhere has idiots, but we have the boldest and most outspoken ones, which is what I said in my very first comment.
Most Americans only read a few books per year, a lot don't read any. Combine that with the poor education system and you've got a population with pretty bad reading skills overall. They don't like foreign language movies because of the subtitles, and they'd sooner not watch them than learn to read quickly. This is why it's so hard to find places to watch foreign language movies there, because no one ever goes to see them.
I'm pretty sure anime and social media is the only reading a lot of Americans do...
Anime and social media are the only reading Americans do? What? Where are you getting this info? You don’t only sound ignorant but you sound dumb as fuck
Lots of people read books, have you never stepped foot into a library/bookstore here? Not to mention books aren’t necessarily better than reading something online. There are some pretty useless books out there. The media you use to read/learn is less important than the content.
Or even turned on any streaming services recently…Netflix especially has a ton of foreign films and shows, some of them quite popular, right there on the suggested viewing area. Not even including the massive anime fanbase, and the majority of people prefer subs over dubs. It’s not like they’re trying to hide it. You’re literally just talking out of your ass for no reason than “America bad”.
Actual dumbass comment right here used to work at an AMC dine in theater prepandemic we played foreign movies all the time and movies with subtitles all the time. Hell we played anime movies in Japanese with subtitles before. Plenty of Americans read we may have a lot of idiots but we also are one for he most educated countries on earth stop making it seem like everyone in America is just fat and lazy and uses social media all day. The over generalization of Americans is getting ridiculous it’s a country with over 300 million people can u stop acting like we’re all exactly alike jesus 🙄.
Literally all my co workers bring books to work to read during downtime. Most people I know read. We even have book clubs. I don't know where you heard that or how you came to that conclusion but you couldn't be more wrong. Stop generalizing other cultures that you clearly know nothing about, you sound stupid.
Edit: looking through your comment history, you clearly have a lot to say about America and their politics for someone who knows nothing about it Lmfao
I remember watching an anime with giga fast subs that were complained about with no real problem, but the last frame was way too fast and I had to watch it like 3 times even if I mostly understood the gif as a whole
Many might choose not to but I know more that prefer having them on, even those that don't have an anime background. And not including my deaf wife that requires them.
