isekai is a word that means "being taken to an alternate reality" just like the japanese term "netorare" means to 'steal a lover' or 'cuckold'. not to mention the other non-english terms that are commonly used in regular speech such as quesadilla (heated shell with cheese), tortilla(a shell), spaghetti(noodles with sauce), ballet(fancy dancing), cafe(coffee shop), croissant(fancy bread), faux pas(embarrassing event), kindergarten(0th grade), rucksack(backpack), and so on.So, why are English-speaking people jumping on yet another stupid Japanese term? Too lazy to say "alternate realities"? Didn't anyone ever watch "Sliders" or read Lewis Carroll or any of the hundreds or thousands of sci-fi/fantasy authors who wrote this kind of stuff over the past couple hundred years in Western countries? No one reads Marvel or DC comics?
When a Japanese word expresses something new or original it might be worth adopting. Otherwise, leave the Japanese words to Japanese-language fora.
Every language adopts "loan words" for things, concepts, or terms that don't already exist in that language or for things that are specific to a foreign culture, (for example "sushi", because the concept of eating your bait instead of using it to catch fish you could cook didn't already exist in the English-speaking world). Adopting foreign words or terms that already have existing equivalents in your language is simply idiotic. Using a foreign term for a concept that originated in your own language is foolish. Knowing foreign words and phrases is a good thing - for those occasions when you encounter speakers of that language. Using foreign words/phrases in place of their already-existing and readily-understandable equivalents in your own language doesn't make you cool, nor does a slavish devotion to any foreign cultural elements. If you wanna be Japanese, go to Japan. If you wanna speak Japanese, do so with other Japanese speakers in Japanese fora. In English fora one should stick to the English language.isekai is a word that means "being taken to an alternate reality" just like the japanese term "netorare" means to 'steal a lover' or 'cuckold'. not to mention the other non-english terms that are commonly used in regular speech such as quesadilla (heated shell with cheese), tortilla(a shell), spaghetti(noodles with sauce), ballet(fancy dancing), cafe(coffee shop), croissant(fancy bread), faux pas(embarrassing event), kindergarten(0th grade), rucksack(backpack), and so on.
just because you dont like japanese terms doesnt mean english speakers wont do what they always have and adopt them into our language. if you dont like it feel free to make a new topic where you complain about every word in the english language because it all came from somwhere.
first of all sushi is not "eating your bait" its raw fish(normally, it can also be raw vegetables or eggs). japanese people do not eat worms or other bait animals unusual to americansEvery language adopts "loan words" for things, concepts, or terms that don't already exist in that language or for things that are specific to a foreign culture, (for example "sushi", because the concept of eating your bait instead of using it to catch fish you could cook didn't already exist in the English-speaking world).
