K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I'm a Nazi.

I ain't letting them have this one. It's a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

wtf what is the relation between k-on and nazis??

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 28 points 10 months ago

Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you've seen people randomly saying "is that a jojos reference?" underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they're trying to indicate that they're a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time "subscribe to pewdiepie" was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.

The point is that it's silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they're clearly making something out of nothing.

Aren't the main characters gay coated in that show?

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 32 points 10 months ago

"Gay coated" is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.

So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they're not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.

The original term is "gay coded", as in the creators have used commonly recognised "code" to signal that the characters are gay.

But I actually love the idea that they're just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.

Never apologise for gay coating.

I've always seen this referred to as "bone apple teas" for many years, but "eggcorn" is a better single-word term for it.

And that was a good video, thanks!

I'd say they're different to bone apple tea because that's a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.

Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it's not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so "eggcorn" is descriptively accurate.

Gay-coded, but yes, and it was directed by a woman working at one of Japan's most employee-friendly studios.

But Nazis aren't really famous for their intelligence.

Bocchi is still safe. And has a lot of K-On! references. Just saying.
