As you have probably noticed, I renamed old boards. More specifically, renamed "Hentai" to "2D Ero", "Lolicon" to "2D Lolikon", and just now, "Anime/Cute" to "2D Cute". I found teh reason important enough to make a thread about.The reason is simple: To get rid of ancient Western misunderstandings on this site. Yah, we on Heyuri are too elite to make such mistakes "Hentai"（変態）is a Japanese word meaning something like "pervert". Japanese people refer animated R-18 rated anime as "eroanime"*, their source manga as "eromanga"*, and if they are doujin works, "ero doujinshi"*. Erotic images are called "ero gazou", if they are 2D characters then "nijigen ero gazou" and so on.*Japanese language doesn't have spaces so it can be as well "ero anime" etcNot all 2D girls are "Anime girls", this is an extremely often made mistake in the West since probably long ago. Japanese people always call them 2D girls. If the 2D girl happens to be from an anime series, they would then be "a girl from an anime" (and even then, you wouldn't find any result for "アニメ少女" at all instead of "二次元少女")- but for example, OS-tan girls aren't from an anime so they are just 2D girls. Thus I renamed Anime/Cute to 2D Cute.As for 2D lolikon (Japanese is rorikon but granted, they just don't have c and l letters. I write it as Lolikon as stylish choice.), Japanese word refers people who have a loli (rori) complex - of all dimensions, primarily 3D when spoken IRL. Thus it's important to specify they are 2D girls.Similar case with guro. Japanese word comes from grotesque, and refers to disgusting things from all dimensions, let it be blood or shit (or bugs - look up グロ虫 if you dare). So, while I didn't add it, proper title for a guro board would be "2D Guro".I didn't change Anime/Manga since they actually refer to アニメ and 漫画 here ヽ(´ー｀)ノMarked for deletion (Old)
Actually, "H" (Japanese: ecchi) "Hentai" is used in some words like H scenes (Hシーン) in eroge, and "ecchi" can be used to refer perverted stuff. (though not as much as "ero")For this reason, combined with E of "ero", I consider changing /h/ to /e/. Shortly tell your thoughts please
>Shortly tell your thoughts pleasei got no objections to what's said in teh OP. as for /h/ -> /e/, teh url /h/ is pretty recognizable. But changing wouldn't effect things too much
Regarding changing /h/ to /e/: 4chan's /e/ board is "Ecchi", which is basically for softcore Japanese 2D ero images and explicitly bans hardcore/sex/yuri/yaoi, so there might be some confusion caused there Also I don't want to lose /h/aruhi after just getting her back!
>>66824haha i was posting about this same naming problem on [s4s] the other day.
>4chan's /e/ board is "Ecchi", which is basically for softcore Japanese 2D ero images and explicitly bans hardcore/sex/yuri/yaoiI know, but this is yet another mistake of the west! I want it known at least on Heyuri that "ecchi" is mostly an adjective that means something like "lewd" but in a moar obscene way>/h/aruhiThis is fair enough, I can't think of any girl who is nearly as eroi as Haruhi starting with an E

a lot of these have been around for so long that they're English words now (which is something that happens a fucking lot in Japanese with English words, where the meaning doesn't really match the English one but that's what it means in Japanese now -- "bitch" is the example that comes to mind immediately)but I don't mind the board name changesI'm still just going to keep saying hentai for animu-style pr0nz though /h/ becoming /e/ is sliiiightly ill advised for reasons >>66826 mentions, but it doesn't matter that much, heyuri is its own sitebut /h/ feels right in a way that /e/ doesn't
I see user consensus seems to be keeping /h/ as /h/, so Haruhi wins.But I'll say /h/ therefor officially comes from "H" (not "Hentai"), even if that itself originally comes from Hentai too, which I think but am not sure about comes from Hentai Seiyoku (変態性欲) which means "abnormal sexuality; sexual perversion" or "perversion" in the non-sexual way according to Jisho.org, not that I expect anyone to care this much about some naked drawn girls in their screens, I doubt even many Japanese bishoujo otaku know about it LOL
>>66832just become a linguist! (or a wiktionary editor)
what about 3D anime girls?
>what about 3D anime girls?Teh Japanese consider them part of 二次元, as well as figures
So much knowledge! As expected from our cute supreme leader ( ´ω`)
>"Hentai"（変態）is a Japanese word meaning something like "pervert".THANK YOU it ticks me off when baka gaijins call it hentai... and somehow everyone does it
>>66823Speaking of guro. How come gurochan isnt listed in the sites links?
>>66846yeha, we should get a banner too
>>66848Yes
>>66846Why would it be? It doesn't have much to do with Heyuri and anyone into guro should already know about its existence
>>66850Other sites that aren't Heyuri are listed in the links section. Also has same owner.
