Fun fact: Japanese emoticons have more focus on the eyes and western ones on the mouth which is a general thing in the cultures. Compare Manga and western comics and the former have big eyes and a small mouth and the latter has the other way around

“Seriously?” and “amazed” being identical would really fuck with you if you’re a bit insecure

I think zero or lowercase o is more “seriously?” and capital O is more “amazed.”

This would be easier if the guide maker typed these up instead of drawing them.

That’s actually honestly pretty true to Japanese culture.

Honne-tatamae was one of the worst aspects of living in Japan for me, especially as an autistic person.

Perhaps you are right. I saw the uptick on the right of amazed mouth and thought it was intended to be a different Unicode. But it looks like they’re all ASCII just stylized, so my bad.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

  • Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.
