It’s only aesthetically displeasing to you because you come from a western background. For someone used to say mandarin it is quite aesthetically pleasing. The final bottom stroke “closes” the set in a satisfying way that is consistent Chinese character stroke order.
Some things are culturally relative. Aesthetics is one of those things.
I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy.
TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life.
I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation.
I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so.
The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too.
Yeah I hear you.
TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something.
Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess.
I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here.
No logic…unless you use the language it’s written in. You’re only looking at it from your perspective and saying it’s ugly and makes no sense. Because the language, to you makes no sense because you haven’t learned it.
Are you…referring to yourself? Because that’s not a trend anyone has noticed—but you tend to be exhibiting an outlandish reaction to something you find aesthetically displeasing.
There has to be inconsistent things like in all languages to give comedians material. Just like English-speaking comedians can make jokes about driving on a parkway and parking in a driveway. Chinese comedians have surely made jokes about tally mark 5 vs the symbol for 5.
I still don’t like it. It’s not a logical placement of strokes. No I don’t care that the Kanji ultimately means ‘5’.
I don’t like it. It’s aesthetically displeasing with no logic.

I understand that, But they’re still wrong.
The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.
My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.
People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)
Oh I’m just spouting off occasionally with hyperbole, rants and un-serious trolling.
Don’t sweat it.

I use n. American one but find the France/Brazil one makes Sense. The Asian looks aesthetically displaying but not for the train you stated.

… and they are wrong. It’s imbalanced.
ur wrong
lol okay buddy
Funny how people get so butthurt and rage-filled when it comes to aesthetic opinions.
Are you…referring to yourself? Because that’s not a trend anyone has noticed—but you tend to be exhibiting an outlandish reaction to something you find aesthetically displeasing.
I voiced a calm opinion. Others seem to be more ‘engaged’ in trying to shout me down. Just as I thought might happen.
