Hello everyone! Im sorry but I have a very important note concerning the translation of Okama. I had written the translation of Okama was “a gay prostitute” and I’m very very sorry but this is not the correct translation. As some of you pointed out, Okama has nothing to do with someones sexuality and could be more accurately translated as “a drag queen”. I’m very very sorry for the confusion and I will try not to make big mistakes like this in the future (´；ω；`)
Your translation isn’t incorrect. The problem comes from the lack of terminology in Japanese that matches our modern understanding of gender and sexuality. The word can refer to queer sex workers, but saying it just means trans or gay wouldn’t be a false statement either. It can be used to factually describe someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation, but it’s pretty vague, and it can also be used as a slur, so people who are more well versed in queer topics generally avoid it, and try to use the english terms instead. (Ps.: I’m not Japanese, this is just information I gathered over the years from spending time in queer spaces, and consuming Japanese media. I never experienced what it’s like to live in japan as a queer person, so feel free to tell me about experiences and correct me.)
@@liviamuranyi4163 "The lack of terminology in Japanese that matches our modern understanding of gender and sexuality"? You mean "WESTERN" understanding. Anyways, okama doesn't mean gay prostitute in 99% of situations, so yeah, it's wrong. This word doesn't exist in English either and it's a Japanese concept. Anyways don't speak on something you don't understand... and yeah this is a pretty awful translation to say okama was gay prostitute like omg is that what dictionaries say???
i can relate how the listeners keep saying "your hands is beautiful", "your lips is sexy", "your legs is thin and long", "your skin is so white" when he uploads selfies on twitter. and most of the comments end up saying "i failed as a girl". also his friends such as Amatsuki-san, 96-san, or nqrse-san teasing him, saying that he is a princess (well, because he is beautiful and has a selfish side like a princess ww). i disagree about him looks like okama, but i would agree if someone said he looks like a baby in a man body ww. it's not that his attitude or clothings like a girl, how should i say it, sometimes his aura is ふわふわ(?) maybe because he has a kind and calm personality. his friends said soraru-san never gets angry, or maybe even if he is angry nobody would notice it.
the prostitute part seems off? cuz the definition on Google says okama is Japanese slang for homosexual or transvestite, it's used towards drag queens as well.
@@qiseyow I experienced the same on October and November :> but hopefully things will turn around and you'll turn them in and do the opposite of what I did these past two months lol
not a fan of the word "okama" (I think it's rude to the lgbt+ community) but this was pretty funny also damn I didn't think people saw Garry as super feminine, I thought he seemed like a cool dude
i think garry came off as more androgynous to me, but in the japanese version, he uses 'atashi', which is like the femenine form of i? he just uses feminine speech patterns and is overall pretty gentle
When they had to talk about his feminine side all I could think of was that "he's probably cisgender straight boy that looks one but doesn't give a crap about it"
@@crabstronaut9395 Ib is a famous indie horror game. The plot is kinda nice tho I kinda forgot about it lol Gary is a man the protagonist, Ib found when she was lost in an art museum?

wait! why garry is an okama!???!?!?!??! as far as i remember he tried to protect ib in gentlemanly way in the game didn't he!? well indeed he did freaked out the most when a doll moved or smth like that, but why garry is an okama!?!??!?!?!??!?
'you're...very clam, yknow?' so if that makes him a girl, does that mean im a boy..? like mafu cuz i scream a hekking lot??? (also broke the 69 comments HAH)

Isn’t okama a derogatory term for feminine males?

@Janet 9646 ohh don't worry owo its okay
A person that I think had same vibes as Soraru is maybe Aoi Shouta. But when Mafu said Gary, maybe their style is a bit different.
Oh soraru is feminine?
mafumafu’s female voice be like-
Soraru has some feminine vibes BUT NOT THAT MUCH HAHAhah

Care to explain...?
It says it on the top but it means a gay person
@@jonathanjoestar3503 thank you mr.jojo
To be honest it’s more like a guy who acts really feminine instead of being just a straight up gay.
I always thought okama was similar to a drag queen? Someone who’s overly feminine and gay but it doesn’t necessarily mean they dress female.
@@Mushycongee Yes you're right, Okama is something like a drag queen, men that dress up as women.
