To be fair, more people know the name "Boku no Pico" than "My Pico"

Agreed, if I wanted to be quizzed on my Japanese by the UI and posts I would load up Misskey.

Hmm, could I interest you in a little Amores Perros and La Femme Nakita?

That makes sense, because if you were actually writing it in Japanese you'd write it with their characters, not English letters?

Not necessarily, romanji exists for this exact purpose.

This guy clearly haven't read enough Doujinshi.

Outside of context, I don't know what a takkyuubin is, but I can see it belongs to a magic user.

I don't get it. You can search MyAnimeList using either name most of the time.

That's true, but it only shows results in Japanese. If I'm looking for A Place Further Than The Universe, it's probably the top result, but Sora yori mo Tooi Basho could be anything to these ignorant American eyes
