This is the kind of sentiment I have when a question is asked on “do Japanese people talk like anime characters in real life?” And the straight answer is no. Is it the same with “do Americans talk like in Netflix” or is that a load of garbage? It happens with some people thinking anime speak is how Japanese people interact but in the end they appear stupid as no one talks like that IRL. Now, is the manner of speaking from US Dramas or TV representative of a real life conversation?
It was all in good fun. Didn’t mean any harm.
I doubt anyone outside Canada even cares whether we do or don’t sound the same. Or what Whistler is all about, except maybe Australians.
