@transience what the fuck is traditional?

Column on the left are traditional characters

as you can see, the traditional character for door looks like a gate or a door

not so much with the simplified variant

with simplification, the characters lose their meaning

this is where traditional loses me, how the fuck is that supposed to look like a door or a horse or a scholar?

Character for speech has the radical for language

with the simplified variant, it's just some line

that's one of the main arguments in favour of traditional

it's arguably harder to decipher the meaning when you don't have these features

The charecters didn't lose thier meaning, they became words instead of pictures.
Then again communists have universally terrible ideas so you might have a point

Oh, they're still pictures alright

but instead, they're like pictures of abstract art

You told me they were phonetic

pinyin is

the third column

I managed to find some of the best-worst royalty free christmas music for a project i made last last year

both traditional and simplified are logograms

I was mistaken. Why the fuck would you remake an entire pictographical alphabet and instead of a phonetic alphabet make another pictographical alphabet?

Fucking communists are retarded.

hence why simplification was a mistake <:hyperthonk:327934332545007617>

the only bigger mistake was the cultural revolution

Eh, it still is easier to read, uses less ink and has less potential for miscommunication.

conspiring against him

Why did comfy delete that nah

it's been going on since csg was a thing

Only because they go on massive samefagging shitpost sprees about me then get banned for being off-topic
