Due to some interruption in the chinese stream during starladder, a lot of chinese netizens recently found out that they can actually view twitch without lag. There are a lot of hilarious threads consisting of chinese netizens seriously deconstructing twitch chat and trying to find out what the memes mean, and then ultimately embracing them. Here's a sample:

+ Show Spoiler [On Car Brands and Bandwagoners] +

"I really liked watching the high in the chat coming from VG's win over LC. Hao >>> Black. [This is followed by a few screenshots of 'ez bugattis' and 'lc fans gave me honda', balance whining and hao praises/puns] "
"Foreigners actually rate VG so highly?"
"WTF are hondas"
"I'm fucking tired just reading this. Pls translate"
"Can't tell if fans or trolls"
"What does 'lmao' mean, the others I can understand mostly"
"WTF does LC and cars have in common? Why are they associated?"
"I also don't understand, as if they bet with cars?"
"What does 'troll balance' mean?"


+ Show Spoiler [On Puppey (not) banning sniper meme] +

"Everyone is spamming
ヽ(◉◡◔)ノ MY NAME IS PUPPEY, I DONT BAN SNIPER CUZ IM COOL ヽ(◉◡◔)ノ
"
Proceed onto a page of people spamming this...


+ Show Spoiler [On the B-god spam for bone7 in c9 vs iG] +

"I saw bone7 bat lasso sb into instadeath, the screen is flooded with calls of B-god. Then I realised it fucking meant bone7 and not my emperor"
"bone7=bone3+2+2 ok?"
"Regardless of whoever's winning, you get to spam B-god. Foreigners are SO SMART"


+ Show Spoiler [On fEEd] +

"As soon as EE dies the whole chat goes fEEd. ROFL"
"Great feed EE"
"This is art, you guys understand this? "
"Looking forward to EE's long blog about this"

"What's up with the twitch spam: LGD - 'Let's Go Disband', 'Retard.Maybe', and 'fEEd rEEtard'? Sounds like our version of [standard chinese pun-flames]"
"Foreigners flame very fiercely as well"
"It transcends boundaries"
"Pff, I've been seeing them flame like this for 3 years"


+ Show Spoiler [On singsing and 430] +

"When I watched iG go on the main stage, the chat spammed songsong. Foreigners can't tell the difference?"
"You fucking idiot"
"feed! feed! [song song sounds like feed feed]
"songsong looks like the same as 430"
"I can't tell the difference either"


+ Show Spoiler [On Luo's nickname] +

"[the host even called Luo mr spirit breaker. Mr sb?"
[in chinese dota sb is short for 'fucking idiot']
"lol fuck me I didn't catch that. rofl."


A lot of the longer copy pastas (rtz riki, loda centaur etc) were met with bemusement, in the sense that only a handful of people were able to understand any of it. There is also some serious discussion about all the "EE kill all the chinese dogs" and "Pinoys/russians are shit" spam. Luckily the consensus is that it is some tasteless trolling memes, but a lot of people were shocked that people don't get banned for this.

Anyway I thought it was a nice cultural exchange, however one sided it might have been.

EDIT: As I've stated in a later post, these comments are sourced from sgamer. Some comments were paraphrased or omitted for various reasons such as hate speech or my personal lack of understanding. I have also tried to translate the general feeling of the comment rather than the literal meaning.

EDIT 2: For the incoming reddit users, I go by the name of drunk_dingo over there. You are free to send me any questions or objections about these translations there as well.

I feel like there's culture shock every time someone discovers twitch chat.

These are aggregated from sgamers. I am unable to provide screenshots because it is a message board, so any screenshot will be too long. I also had to paraphrase or omit some comments for various reasons (hate speech, things I didn't understand, vacuous comments). But here are some links to get you started.

Disclaimer: A lot of the avatars and signatures on sgamers are borderline nsfw. Browse at your own risk.
