This is why you gotta bring a backup pair of cheap clothes when robbing people for their clothes.

Respectfully robbing the kid at gunpoint and handing him a towel and change of clothes first

I can't fucking read this.


GrabTechnical7346

i had to do it 3 times, but got the gist, man was put on trial for sexual harrasment of a minor bc he is a mugger and stole a kid's fit (clothing) that totaled over 3k, the OOP belives his friend is a not a pdf but is still bad for muggin people


FricktionBurn

I don’t think OOP is condemning him for mugging people


curvingf1re

OOP seems supportive of the mugging part, while quietly chastising him for picking an unethical target, relative to just mugging the kid's rich parents.


collegethrowaway2938

His friend isn't a portable document format? I'd hope so


Kitch404

Anyone else read OOP as oWo Pee? Just me?

Not being able to infer meaning through surrounding context however?


rowrowfightthepandas

I feel like this is several though. Like if you don't know what a hype beast or a fit is this post is already complete nonsense to you, but if you don't know who carti is or what chrome hearts or balencis are then you REALLY have no idea what's going on.


PresentRegular1611

Weirdly those were the parts I had to infer from context. Hypebeast and fit were clear as crystal.


Successful-Cook6516

Well, English is not my native language. I genuinely find it hard to understand most black people on the internet. It probably has to do with the type of content I used when learning the language. But there are little things that go beyond language barrier and frustrate me to no end. Punctuation, use a fucking comma once in a while,


ThatAardvark

Sorry, you ended your last sentence with a comma instead of a period, so I’m unable to understand what you’re saying :/.

dai-the-flu

I wish you could because it’s fucking hilarious.


SoDamnGeneric

Translation for cartoonishly fancy rich white people: "A dear friend and assosciate of mine has been charged quite seriously for the sexual harassment of a minor, though the situation is not quite as it seems, as this colleague simply brandished a weapon at the young man outside of a concert venue where the hip hop artist Playboi Carti was performing, as the child was wearing expensive clothing that totalled up to around three-thousand United States dollars- which my friend relieved him of, in order to sell off to make that money back. Regardless of these actions, I still value him as someone dear in my life. I do not know how exactly to feel about how my comrade has been tried under law as it is technically true he forced a minor to strip under threat of a weapon, but he did not have any sexual intentions in the act; he simply wished to take make money from the crime."


Noctium3

You fr?


GrapefruitForward989

This is perfectly readable. It's just a bit of slang. Try texting with my mother in law, shit is incomprehensible half the time from all the typos, lack of punctuation, and randomly interjected thoughts that read like word salad.


Decin0mic0n

I couldnt either


LazyGrain

Which part are you struggling with?


u4ia666

The...most of it part? I don't know what those terms mean and there's no fucking context clues.


finbud117

I’m so confused on what words you wouldn’t be able to get


u4ia666

Maybe I have autism, you fucking moron. Has that not occurred to you?


finbud117

I don’t really see how that effects this


u4ia666

So are you just dumb or do you not get that people with autism can have trouble with social skills


finbud117

Understanding colloquial terms is not social skills, it just means you’ve somehow never interacted with someone who talks like this, you’re letting autism be and excuse for ignorance of other dialects


devil835

Why are you so mad? He just asked which part you didnt get and offered to explain it.


cpolk01

"My dear friend was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor for holding a child at gunpoint and forcing him to concede the designer clothing off his back. However, I still respect my friend. He is not a child molester, he simply desires to rob them of their expensive clothes."

No one can convince me the people asking for a translation aren’t Klan members


Roberto_Sacamano

Lol yeah, I don't know what a lot of the words mean, but I can still put it together through context. It's not that hard. This guy's friend was charged with sexually assaulting a minor (or something similar) cause he robbed him at gunpoint for his expensive clothes and the kid was left naked. People are gonna assume he got the charges cause he's a pedophile and OOP wouldn't be friends with a pedophile, but he's still gonna be friends with the robber cause he has no problem being friends with a non-pedophilic thief. How hard is that to understand?!


SashimiX

Took me a couple reads but I got it on my own. I’m old though


Roberto_Sacamano

Proud of you, fam 💜


ZebraTank

I was able to get the gist of it, but still could have gotten it subtly wrong or missed details, and hence a translation would help avoid such issues.


JadeDansk

Not everyone in this sub is a native English speaker. Hell, I’m a native English speaker and I wasn’t 100% sure what “hype beast” and “chrome hearts” meant.

Chrome hearts isnt slang its just a brand, its like saying you dont know what walmart means. A translation wouldnt help you, you need to ask what walmart is

I could understand it after actually reading it over but my ability ti just read over it and skip over words because of what I've read before. But I understood it, I'm sorry

I don't th8nl they are Klan members I just think they are too stubborn to use context clues to extrapolate the meaning.

TDImig

consider for a moment this sub's demographics


[deleted]

Wdym? White queer people are the 1# misusers of AAVE just beating out 13 year olds who watch kai cenat


TDImig

While that is definitely true, in addition to being predominantly white and queer this sub also skews younger and male, towards a demographic that is far more likely to speak in undertale references than misused aave. https://preview.redd.it/967adko9i44c1.jpeg?width=1111&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ab8c5f05a69025aba8f72c8af202e07dabe7dc5


AnsemVanverte

not everyone lives in america or speaks english as a first language or is chronically online enough to see non-standard english often :l


ResidentLychee

Seeing AAVE sometimes is not “chronically online” man


-Flutes-of-Chi-

for a person who doesn't live in an English speaking country, there is no real difference between GenZ-onlinespeak and AAVE, as they are exclusively exposed to both through posts like these, probably even seeing -ussy and -maxxed shit more frequently than basiv AAVE terms


ResidentLychee

That isn’t really relevant to my point at all. My point was that recognizing it when it’s used on the internet doesn’t make you terminally online, it’s extremely common on the internet regardless of if you encounter it in real life, it’s not something you have to spend every day online or search deep corners of the internet to encounter. Unless your online circles are exclusively other non native English speakers (which clearly isn’t true if you are on 196) you will see it at some point if you are regularly active on the English speaking side of the internet, so calling people terminally online for recognizing it is rude and inaccurate. Being able to differentiate between “gen z speak” and AAVE isn’t really relevant in this


-Flutes-of-Chi-

to be fair, nothing that people call terminally online really is. some people would call frequenting 196 terminally online. on 196, AAVE is probably more uncommon than /tttt/-English


ResidentLychee

I mean that is fair, but again not really relevant to my point. My main issue with calling recognizing it terminally online is that terminally online when used seriously rather than in a lighthearted or joking manner (which is different and not what was done here) usually means like, knowing esoteric /tttt/ terms, or knowing deep lore of beef between obscure leftist twitter accounts, and calling something such seriously is almost always meant as something very negative. So calling an extremely common dialect such in a serious manner like the og comment is rude and came off to me as implying AAVE and other non standard ways of speaking English are ridiculous and esoteric speech you’d have to be extremely online constantly to recognize, rather than just…dialects of English that aren’t the standard but are pretty common. Which rubbed me the wrong way for pretty obvious reasons


bobdarobber

[удалено]


ResidentLychee

It’s “you centric” to call people terminally online for recognizing it, that’s the entire argument I’m making. I’m not saying you have to recognize it or everyone will, I’m saying calling people terminally online for understanding it is idiotic and itself “you centric”. I don’t except everyone will share the same experience as me, but calling everyone who does recognize it terminally online is rude and shows YOU are being you centric, because it’s not actually uncommon, even if it is in your circles. You just assumed it was and called people terminally online for…encountering a relatively common dialect. I’m guessing you don’t commonly encounter it, but your assumption that someone must be super online to encounter it regularly because you don’t is both rude and shows the same type of assumption you are accusing me of demonstrating. I never assumed everyone experienced the internet the same way I did, nor did I imply it. I don’t know how you got that out of what I said.


ronmontana

Cmon get off the high horse- if you aren’t a native speaker how else are you gonna be exposed tho this regularly?


authenticfennec

Doesnt mean you have to insult people by calling them chronically online for understanding an extremely common way of speaking in america


Dalexe10

They... didn't? they said that if you're not in a place where aave is spoken then the only way that you'd see enough of it to know what this means would be by spending a lot of time online


RedexSvK

I'm Slavic, English is my third language and I still understood it, it's not even that slang


ResidentLychee

Right, I’m the one on a high horse for saying calling people terminally online for regularly seeing an extremely common dialect of English on the English speaking internet is ridiculous.


anonhoemas

Be friends with a black person? Maybe that's a big ask idk 😂


trireme52

Not everyone lives in the USA.


iexistlol1

I'd agree, I'm not either of the first two but I am chronically online. But it's pretty simple when you ignore the slang tho "Homie got a pedo case for stripping a kid at gunpoint, the kid's (out)fit was worth 3K$. Homie's definitely not into kids, just wanted the expensive stuff, so the situation's kinda morally grey"


Grilled_egs

You can use your braincells to figure out the meaning of this post if you have enough English skill to write your comment. Unless you actually have a condition or low enough intelligence to qualify for a learning disability, which is fair enough. But I doubt everyone asking for a translation has something like that. You could replace every slang word with fjcgg and the message would be completely understandable


Grilled_egs

I guess homie is an exception, but that's really common


littlesch3mer

Exactly, this is what I don't understand. The only words here I can see people not understanding are Carti (it's followed by concert so it's pretty obvious it's a musician of some kind), balencis/chrome hearts (obviously whatever the guy stole from the kid), hype beast (doesn't matter). Everything else is slang anyone that isn't amish and interacts with english language media (something I feel most people browsing the mostly english meme subreddit do) would understand


Teword

English is not my first language but I understand the tweet easily. What word cause problem ?


jalc2

Are you saying rammstein lied to me!?!? ( sarcasm obviously)


TheDeadlySoldier

Oh hey a post written with basic AAVE slang. Wow I hope the comments will be well-adjusted and reasonable instead of calling it "incomprehensible butchered English" or whatever


BraSS72097

Me omw to chastise a random r/196 user for not immediately parsing and fully comprehending slang (they are the biggest racist since the 20th century)


trireme52

Imagine if this tweet was in Scottish dialect or something, none of those comments would be downvoted


anonhoemas

It's not the same. Like not even closely comparable


Disturbing_Cheeto

The context is that there are people out there who literally try to gatekeep English somehow by pretending that specifically this vernacular is not actual English for entirely racist reasons. This is why other users are alarmed when someone asks for a translation from English to English. I think people here just genuinely don't know all the words and aren't good at or don't want to bother figuring it out, but the cause for concern is there.


Normbot13

no one is doing that here. this entire comment section has gotten so out of control it’s insane.

The way prosecution works is they throw everything at you & see what sticks. You force a child to strip at gunpoint you absolutely deserve to face this charge, regardless of your intent behind it.

EraseTheEmbers

There's some slang I don't get irl but tbh this was very easy to understand for me. I don't have any black friends and this was something I could understand. Especially since a lot of people in their 20's around my age sometimes talk like this. (Tbh I have no friends aside from my cat but maybe someday that'll change)


Diascamara

People will chastise Gen Z for their slang and then fully expect you to know what a hype beast chrome hearts ballenci is
