    My understanding of japanese culture acquired exclusively through anime tells me that calling out the mass destruction of their work and explicit violation of the Mozilla mission is basically saying “Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit”

      When talking to friends about the situation… I guess people from Kansai (Osaka, etc) might express similar feelings to their friends. People from Kanto (Tokyo, etc) tend to be a bit more reserved maybe words like “jerk” or “asshole” are closer.

      I lived in Tokyo for a while and I once had a girlfriend from Osaka who was helping me find a new place to live. She started talking on the phone to a particular real estate agent and within about 60 seconds the convo got heated. And she soon totally lost her temper and was yelling into the phone at the real estate agent. The agent noticed her Kansai accent and was giving her a hard time because of it. My girlfriend would never stand for that.
