One hopes that it is merely a poor translation 🤷

u/Federal-Amoeba8898 Jul 28 '26
I agree. Sometimes the point of origin will tell you if it's a translation.

u/Brave-Tomato-7039 Jul 28 '26
Googled it. A Spanish company. I’d understand translation issues from some Asian countries as it’s very common on their translated products. But Spanish to English, especially considering most Spaniards speak English, this is odd.
Edit: punctuation4
u/Even-Limit Jul 29 '26
Do you know Spanish? I didn't until I started learning it because I live in South America now. I'm just going to different places though. Spanish is odd with how they words things for a sentence. It's soooo fucking weird but it's how they conversate saying things backwards then to English. A friend thinks English is hard and I agree.

u/Squire_Soup_Sandwich Jul 30 '26
I only speak English and you are correct. English is hard and dumb. It's a soup of old French and old German.
If it weren't for British colonialism I doubt anyone would speak it. Hahaha

u/LadyNiko Aug 01 '26
English is a germanic language stuffed in a Latin rule base. It's the most contradictory language for writing. It's easy to speak, but writing? Nope, not at all.

u/Swatican Jul 30 '26
American English is a melting pot of languages. Much more than French and German for sure. You can quickly see ties to Greek, Latin, Spanish, and other languages introduced by immigrants.

u/TheMrsLegume Aug 01 '26
Conversate. That's weird. I can't say I've never heard it, but it's not something I run across often enough to be annoyed by. Less common regionally? More common among a different age bracket?
"Acrosst" is one of the regional curses where live.
"Irregardless" is a peeveish one for me. And the way people apply "nauseous".

How did you get to Spaniards from Spanish-speaking? Do you not have Mexicans where you come from?

u/Interesting-Dish5687 Jul 30 '26
Spanish Do you not know how much ground Spain encountered/concurred? It's all a derivative of the same country. Spanish is the launguage they are describing dork. Not the place, it could be anywhere they speak or write it? Not just Mexico. Please without the help of the internet or an Encyclopedia tell me from your head how many countries speak Spanish or maybe latin. Do you not have schools where you're from?

u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC Jul 30 '26
No one speaks latin. It's a dead language. Hasn't been spoken natively by ANYONE for a few THOUSAND years. Also, OP was actually talking about Spain the country, it's you guys that assumed he meant "a Spanish speaking country" when he literally said it's from "a Spanish company" as in a company from Spain.

Spain (Europe - Where the language came from "Castilian Spanish"), Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico (U.S. territory), Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Equatorial Guinea (Africa), Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Africa).... Many more than just Mexico...
1
u/Total-Suggestion5879 Aug 01 '26
I had to Google the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and I thought I knew every country in Africa. So why does a unrecognized country in the middle of the Sahara speak Spanish instead of Arabic, Tamazight, or Amazigh?
1
u/WalrusStatus7382 Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 02 '26
Okay, I'm not going to act like I'm an expert... So quick story, I needed a filler class last semester and thought "Hey, geography sounds fun and kind of easy (sort of if you do the work)." One section was Spanish-speaking countries, and I was actually surprised to learn there were places in Africa connected to the Spanish language. That honestly led me to ask the same question you did, "Why?" The Sahrawi Republic is basically a remnant of Spanish colonialism. Spain controlled Western Sahara for decades, and when Franco died in the 1970s Spain began pulling out. The situation got complicated with Morocco, Mauritania, and the Polisario Front, which led to the dispute over independence that still exists today. The Spanish influence stayed because of that colonial history, not because the Sahrawi people stopped speaking Arabic or Amazigh. They do use the of Hassaniya Arabic and Amazigh, but Spanish remained part of the political, educational, and cultural landscape because of the years under Spanish rule. It’s one of those weird history things where you look at a country in the middle of the Sahara and wonder why Spanish shows up, but once you follow the colonial history its well understood... But none the less it is considered or at least loosely recognized as a spanish speaking country or terroritory.
Also geography wise the Strait of Gibraltar is the separation of these areas which is just miles apart anyways... Coincendentally right now as we speak, Moroccans are using Ceuta, Spain as a way to cross into Europe through an amnesty law or something like that (wasn't paying too much attention to the news this morning)... Ceuta, Spain sits a top Morocco on the northern tip of Africa and is a political peninsula (not a real definition but it fits due to geo-politics... real definition is like peninsular terroritory) due to Morocco being south of it and being land locked by the Strait of Gibraltar - So Spain still has terroritory or part of it's recognized country in Northern Africa.

u/Yeeeeeeoooooooo Aug 02 '26
So this week is interesting for you since what happened days ago with Spain & Morocco. You have some context there
1
u/WalrusStatus7382 Aug 02 '26
Oh yeah, it's interesting to actually know something or at least a little history behind it. It was similar to a few years ago... going through nursing school and one day at an appointment with my Dad and actaully understanding what the doctor was saying... Same feeling watching the news around that area and having an actual or better understanding of what is going on.
Now only if I can take a a few semesters in code breaking and deciphering what my girlfriend is asking of me, I'd feel like I'm on top of the world 😆 and damn near Superman invincible... Sans the briefs on top of my pants... Otherwise they mistake me for Iron Man with all the rust stains on them...

u/Time_Plenty_3753 Jul 28 '26
Ai summary
The viral trend of mistreating Black baby dolls originated in China as a social media phenomenon surrounding a soft, stretchable stress-relief toy known as the "Natasha doll." The controversy sparked widespread international outrage from global communities and human rights advocates who condemned the videos as deeply racist and dehumanizing.

A lot of dolls have “permapanties” which are undies that are either part of the vinyl mold or sewn into a cloth body doll. This matters a lot to doll collectors as it limits what outfits they can put them in without the undies showing.
This is a very awkward way of wording it, and I’m not sure why it needed to be in the title. It’s similar to saying this doll has sculpted hair instead of rooted hair or a wig.
ETA: this does not necessarily mean this is an anatomically correct doll. That is pretty rare and reserved for “reborn” or highly realistic dolls, or therapy dolls.

Because it doesn’t come with underwear? And if you ordered a doll assuming it did, and it didn’t, you’d be mad? And they don’t want to show a more “revealing” image of the doll so they have to use words to provide an accurate description?
Frankly, I think you’re seeing something that isn’t there, and I don’t mean the doll’s clothes.

This! These are absolutely sold IN ORDER to abuse them. There’s a whole cottage industry of hate videos on TikTok. They don’t care about whether or not it has underwear. I fukt around and went down a Reddit hole once. This shit is very racist/weird and should be taken down. It won’t be tho.
