Former Japanese television presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki has warned that X’s automatic translation tool is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society.

She explains that the feature now exposes blunt or negative online comments from some Japanese users to global audiences, revealing opinions on topics like tourism and cultural norms that were previously hidden by language barriers.

    I literally was seeing the view on the communist party and i saw a picture of a pamphlet i also recieved that said “The communist party is the enemy of japan” 「日本の共産党は日本の敵です」 (the pamphlet basically just had info on being anti war btw) the replies were full of crazy stuff like “its a crime we arent able to kill them in the streets”「街で殺すのが違法んですよ」 and “We should burn down kyoto, its where all the communists are” 「京都を焼き払う。そこで赤の元だ」

    So chuds are the same even 11000 Km away
