Google’s search auto-suggest feature provides some despair inducing insights into the nature of Japanese matrimony, seemingly encapsulating the institution in disturbing detail…
The suggestions themselves are thought to be based on Google’s database of search terms frequently occurring together (although Google is known to censor these quite heavily to remove anything it considers unseemly). Enterprising 2channelers soon found some interesting results by inputting “husband” and “wife.”
Firstly, the English language results for Google.com by way of comparison:
The suggestions for Google.co.jp in translation (due to Japanese grammar and sentence structure the wording is altered slightly to make sense):
For “husband” (夫 / otto):
[I want my] husband to die
[I hate my] husband
Husband average pocket money (see here)
Husband verbal violence
Husband pocket money
[How to address] husband
Husband death procedure
Husband depression
Husband unemployed
Husband death pension
Very similar results can be found for “danna,” a word typically used by wives to address their husbands.
For “wife” (妻 / tsuma):
Wife birthday present
Wife birthday present ranking
Wife present
Wife hysteria
[How to address] wife
Wife depression
Wife present ranking
Wife kenjougo (a type of humble speech, traditionally used by wives to address husbands)
Wife common law marriage
Wife shochu (a type of rice liquor)
Anyone thinking about marrying a Japanese woman might be well advised to think long and hard about these results…
Ok, that’s some scary s♥♥t
There are some devastating assumptions being made here based on Google searches.
See society. THIS it the result of the your precious lauded twentieth-century Sexual Revolution! Pansy men who try to appease their hymenstrous Idol; said idol which predates on men(and even 2D Godnesses in some ill-fortuned cases http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/10/30/love-plus-adultery-nearly-ends-in-divorce/) demanding SACRIFICE in BLOOD and SHINIES; and worse, plotting behind our backs the fall of MANKIND. They are empty husks; a charades of MAN trying to pass as our economical equals. But behind THAT door, there they are conferencing with their otherworldly kin, scheming domestical (and eventually global) domination. Developing new derranged, twisted ways in which to control us! “Pocket Money!”, “r♥♥e!”, “Sexual Emancipation!” “Kenjougo!” The UNIVERSAL language of WOMEN; a belittling, hypocritical and hidden speech of DARKNESS. The obscure tongue meant to find us. to lure us, to keep us and in the darkness bind us. Forevar.
BROTHERS!, we must fight back! Gather courage to stand proudly before their alluring marsh; find strength and INSENSIBILITY to weather their emotional storm; search for enough dignity and self-love as to be sober after a one-hundreth series of REJECTION, get enough BOOZE and PR0N(and; God forbid it, even GAY LUV) to stand in weeks and weeks of sexual starvation. Rally your weapons; people!.
…And yes; FIRE is the key to send them whimpering to their dark END! WE MUST FIGHT THEE; LEST YOU DESTROY MY WORLD!
For We Are Many.
But in all seriousness; sexual emancipation in Japan seems to exalt the Macbethian qualities of japanese women.
For We Are Many.
I unearthed something like this a long while back, on Google’s adsense (blog link): http://randomuses.blogspot.com/2008/05/coincidence-in-technology-fun-article.html
Hey wait, isn’t that Makoto’s rival stealing a kiss from her in the headline image?
