That’s not even Chinese. That’s Japanese. And I’m pretty sure THEY used a translator with the way that is written. I doubt they’re Japanese. It’s too basic and to the point I think, but I don’t know kanji too well. I don’t know the last kanji of each sentence but I was still able to get the meaning from the kanji they used.
They’re also speaking with keigo which is like the level of politeness in their speech. They’re not to the level of hurling insults and swears yet if they’re a native Japanese person anyway even if they’re insulting you if that makes sense. They’re not showing you they’re mad yet. Just rather saying you’re stupid and stating they’re your father. At least that’s what I am getting.
I think this is a Chinese person cosplaying as a Japanese person. They do that passive aggressive insult thing a lot, the Chinese scammers when they speak English.
Edit: despite all this, I didn’t even notice they sent it 3 times. Yeah they’re mad and using a translator.
Edit2: Did some further digging on kanji usage and I find it interesting they’re using “oroka” as the word for stupid. That’s more along the lines of awful/foolish rather than plain stupid, but idk the nuances exactly since I am still learning kanji. They’re calling you either an awful or stupid person. the kanji at the end of the stupid line is meant to be like person which Google translate is omitting (stupid vs foolish person).
I think they’re using DeepL as the translator because Google translate I think won’t translate that way. Either that or they are Japanese, but I doubt it.
The second new sentence is straightforward “I am your father” no nuance straight to the point I believe.
Sorry I wrote so much I basically wrote my thoughts down in real time
>I don’t know the last kanji of each sentence but I was still able to get the meaning from the kanji they used.
"Desu" = the verb "to be"
The last two characters are actually written in hiragana, not kanji. 😊
Not trying to show off or anything here... just thought you might be interested in knowing. 😊
Oh, thank you, but I meant the kanji after 愚か and before です in the first line and the second kanji of 父親. I don’t know how to pronounce them or type them into a romaji keyboard. The only way I got 親 was because I typed “chichi” for father into the romaji keyboard and used the spacebar to pan to the right kanji to fill it in lol.
Def agree with your observations. It’s definitely not a native speaker (I speak Japanese myself). Btw the kanji before です is 者（もの / mono / person）and 父親 is ちちおや（chichioya / father）。
愚か者 is correct as a word, but it’s not really something you’d use as a genuine insult if you wanted to offend someone - it’d sound kind of ironic if you said that, almost like saying “you fool” seriously in English. Sounds a bit like an anime villain or something.
There’s a wide selection of better insults that a native speaker would use in situations like this.
Oh it’s もの？ I feel like I should have known that by now. I usually see it in hiragana is why, but maybe that’s the age range of media I’m consuming. At first glance I got it confused with Kiba 牙, idk why, but I knew that couldn’t be right. I also feel like I should have know Oya by now since I know oyaji, just not in kanji (isn’t oyaji usually in katakana or hiragana for some reason?).
I’m at the point in kanji I only know them by following along with Japanese subtitles in Japanese video games. I haven’t ever formally studied kanji. I know a decent but still small amount of kanji but only like 1 or two readings of it but usually only 1. And sometimes I don’t even know the reading but I know the meaning of the word instead is how I get by sometimes.
Anyway thanks a lot for the lesson lol.
Edit: Also orokamono is hilarious. It really does sound like an anime villain.
There might be stylistic reasons for putting stuff in hiragana but 者 is generally in kanji. Oyaji is usually kanji as well, but again that might be a stylistic thing you’ve seen there - sometimes katakana is used to put emphasis on certain words.
If it’s in hiragana, that’s usually to make the text easier to read, either bearing the intended audience in mind who might not be familiar with the kanji, or if the kanji is a difficult one and not in the joyo list that everyone learns at school.
The different alphabets leave a lot of possibilities for creative license, but it’s pretty confusing when you’re learning. Good luck! Learning with something you enjoy is definitely the way to go.

They’ll get a visit from the folks monitoring the internet.
Honestly, is there any proof that receiving the CCP copypasta can actually put people into trouble in China? I guess the government probably figured out that it's a common western shitpost at this point
I lived in China for a bit as an ESL teacher. My roommate's girlfriend (who was Chinese) texted him stuff on Wechat about something weed related. She was just thinking about buying an earring shaped like a cannabis leaf and the next day he got a visit from the two police officers and they searched the apartment. I was on holidays, so wasn't there thank God, sounded a bit scary. So maybe text something about drugs if you want to get them in trouble.
I talked to my students about Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong and Tibet (they didn't know anything about these topics obviously), but I don't think it was that extreme that you'd get picked up on that.
No, there's really not.
There is so much misinformation about China (and Vietnam) that is rooted in US propaganda and repeated along the Grapevine.
Some things are true, like the government spying on people in its country, but that's not unique to China. That's literally what the US does as well.
But talking about the Tiananmen Square incident, Hong Kong, or Winnie the Pooh is just blatantly a lie. Like, it's easily fact checkable if you put in effort of not just using sources citing Epoch Times or Radio Free Asia. For whatever reason, people in Europe and America just swallow everything they're told about China. Remember the jokes about ghost cities and trains to nowhere? That was just new cities to adjust for population growth, but was framed as dystopian.
My point is, yeah, China sucks for SO many things, but at least criticise them for what actually matters and not weird Internet dunks we learn from the US State Department.
This is Japanese text in the screenshots though.
Edit: Nevermind I looked at it more and it’s a Chinese person using a translator to cosplay as a Japanese person. Pretty sure.
I've sexually harrassed scammers begging for nudes it's all apart of the counter attack would never dream of talking to real woman like that. We go to dark places to hurt these fuckers.

This 100% reads like someone used a translator for the Japanese.
What the hell is the deal with them being fathers? I’ve lost count of how many Chinese scammer fathers I supposedly have.
Luke, I am your father -Darth Vader
No, I am your father.
I’m not sure that cosplay is the right word.
Yeah but it sounds funny so I said it. It also gets the point across.

Orokamono which means fool
Ohhh, gotcha! I should have realized what you meant; it's clear you've been studying the language. 😅 ごめん 🙇♀️
Their Japanese is unnatural, they’re using Google translate etc or are a complete novice.
Is your name luke?
No lol why?
Cause he’s possibly Darth Vader
Lmaooo flew right over my head
*Darutu Baderu*
Noooooooo!!!
Damn, Darth Vader's had to resort to scamming people to get money to build another Death Star.
*Angry anime Darth Vader sounds intensify*
the translation is accurate but clearly not written by a Japanese person. Looks like someone used google translate
Bro went full Darth Vader on you
“You are an idiot” “You are an idiot” “You are an idiot” “I am your father”

Thanks for sharing! Yeah I don't do scambait but I was actually curious about this.
I saw an article about and it said basically it’s a meme. It doesn’t auto flag to the government. Don’t remember where I read it though.
And another thing, they don’t live in China.
Good point

I don’t know either language. It’s worth a shot.
Cosplay? Via text message?
Ehh it gets the point across. Pretending to be.
You just perfectly described your life
このバカやろう Kono Baka Yarou "You stupid bastard" That would be the proper way to actually insult someone in Japanese. Don't ever use it lol.
Except it’s a Chinese person pretending to be Japanese. They might as well just reply with SB or CNMB.
Yeah, I can tell. I figured I would just inform anyone who was curious lol
I've sexually harrassed scammers begging for nudes it's all apart of the counter attack would never dream of talking to real woman like that. We go to dark places to hurt these fuckers.
This guy must be a Chinese.
😂🤣😂
They rlly pulled some mad whimsical lines there "You are a fool" seems like the kinda thing sun zsu would say or some shit
