hello. i'm a buddy of the artist that made the now infamous mokousquad pics.
now, disclaimer, this isn't a rant thread, it's a vain attempt at explaining that there was a misunderstanding.
most of you have made the educated guess that they're supposed to be jokes based on bad english translation through an online translator. it's almost the case, but not quite.
what they were actually trying to do was help a fellow chinese friend make reaction pics based on the current events going on in china right now. the english below the pics is actually a genuine attempt at conveying what the pictures actually mean.
now, course, I could go on about how morally bothersome the whole situation is, but we've already gone through that 3 times before. there was cirno, chen, awoo and now it's mokou.
they're sad that the accident happened, but I don't think an apology is due from anyone's part since it's an ACCIDENT. except for the anons that were late to the party that made the accident happen in the first place.
that's about it, I probably forgot to mention something midway but the big part is mostly blurted out.
And what's the problem?
post some dank reaction pics for us
>>15765204
ah, there isn't one, I just wanted to make the artist feel better by spreadin the good word that it was, in fact, not with a shitposting intent.
>>15765211
Okay. Well that's good to hear, I guess.
I never thought they were for shitposting anyway though. Just cute.
>>15765211
Oh I thought she didn't like that people were using them.
I think they're cute and a bit funny but I rarely go out of /jp/ so I'm not exposed to the people spamming them and shitposting.
I thought people love the cutesy engrish Mokou. I know I do.
>>15765220
i mean, I could post a twitter screencap of our conversation?
Could you give examples of these current events in relation to the "mokosquad" pics?
>>15765192
>>15765232
oh dude no i don't actually live in china lmao
sometimes it's just related to a common chinese thing.
like here, the english part wouldn't make sense. it's not particularly engrish, right? the main point of the picture is actually the green cap, which symbolizes that your wife is cheating on you in china.
be strong mokou
>>15765244
So is Mokou watching Keine as the riding bull or something?
>>15765253
yeah that's the intent, even if keine's on the right in that picture lol
think of it as mokou being paid to pose for specific reaction pictures instead of having stuff actually happen to her, that'll make more sense.
>>15765238
they're probably havin breakfast so I'll give explanation for that whenever
i didn't think about it for myself because i uh
i just like eggs
i could've used that picture for my own cause and never find the true meaning of it man
I think anyone who has been complaining about these is retarded. They are cute. I don't really see them on other boards at all. Hell even here its usually contained to one thread
Mokou has been my favorite for a long time and I dont think this "ruined" her at all. Absolutely nowhere near the level of Momiji. Chen isnt really bad either. Sure Chen is everywhere but I dont see how bkubs pics hurt her. He just likes Chen, like I assume OP likes Mokou
Hell id take goofy reaction pics over other character shit like Sanae slutposting
>>15765275
thanks. I'll give them your answer so they can sober up, since i'm not exactly a good example of the west.
>>15765279
Damn, were they sad about the whole thing? Tell them to cheer up!
goin to bed now but i'll update on the egg pic whenever they answer
peace peace
>>15765302
been doin it for 2 hours now
also fuck they answered right now guess i'm not sleepin anytime soon.
>>15765279
I'm sad your friend was sad about this. For what it's worth I still find the pictures cute and funny. Like I said I'm not sure why people were freaking out over them. It is cute content featuring my favorite character. I always thought that whoever was doing this was doing it because they liked Mokou. I am glad someone enjoyed Mokou enough to make cute pictures of them, especially if it was done to cheer up a friend.
I think people are so on guard after what happened to Momiji that they're looking for something to be mad at. So they're taking it out on these preemptively. But I think that's silly.
Don't feel bad!
>>15765238
here ya go
apparently completely unrelated to "double egg", so i'm asking em whats up with that now
>>15765192
>what they were actually trying to do was help a fellow chinese friend make reaction pics based on the current events going on in china right now. the english below the pics is actually a genuine attempt at conveying what the pictures actually mean.
Isn't that more or less what everyone thought already? People seem to actually like these in the thread, they're cute and all. I don't see the problem.
Except that one idiot convinced it will ruin mokou forever or some shit, but you can safely ignore him.
>>15765372
better to make a double check? probably?
people on /v/ are beginning to freak out too, apparently.
APPARENTLY, since I don't exactly go there, but don't count on me to. it's /v/.
OP, the images are cute and funny. I don't know Chinese, just laugh at the machine translation.
Tell them to cheer up and keep at it, would suck to see a good artist quitting because of bad posters.
okay so "double eggs" in chinese is apparently pronounced the same as "madman". that's the joke, folks. woowie.
anyway, I'm doing my best to drill in the fact in their head that so far only dumfuks that are getting mad at the drawings becoming a vague meme.
Thanks /jp/
also,if anyone needs source on mokupics, here it is.
they're kinda lost in the middle of bumfuck fan-wise outside of china since they don't tag their stuff properly, so I thought i'd provide. http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=4325914
no bully
I love these pictures so, so much. They're incredible. They're the only Touhou pictures I care about any more.
>>15765436
I like them but please tell her to try to incorporate Kaguya more, her Kaguya is really cute
happy times, nobody's dying tonight~

>>15765495

>>15765570
no bully little china
>>15765495
It really isn't the pictures, they're great.
If it helps, have them try to think of it from the opposite perspective.
Here are some famous, weighty quotes from English:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -> 这些谁不记得过去的人注定要重蹈覆辙
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." -> 战争的目的不是为国捐躯,而是让其他的混蛋死了
"War doesn't determine who's right - only who is left." -> 战争不会决定谁是正确的 - 只有谁留下
Come across as a bit silly, don't they?
It's not the pictures, its the incongruity of the text beneath them.
>>15765590
