Coin

A censored word in Shopee Indonesia, but not on other Shopees, for some reason as if this is an illegal product. Probably because of the abusive behavior of Indonesians exploiting the coin reward feature (1 coin = 1 IDR, or the smallest unit of the currency where Shopee is available, e.g 1 coin = 0.01 SGD or 1 coin = 1 TWD)

This is a hilarious yet annoying censor

I cannot search coin purses or coin wallets on Shopee Indonesia because they censored the word "coin", both in Indonesian and English, unless I misspelt it

DF Fuun

A cute Japanese font that was used in some English translation of Japanese games in the PS2/Gamecube/Wii era. Has Times New Roman's exclamation and question marks, making it look comical, and this font looks adventurous and girly

Sometimes being the primary font, sometimes being the tertiary font (meaning less frequently used)

Still used today, but less common and you can find it on Chinese kids fashion and maybe some Chinese fashion for women

"Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Romancing Saga (PS2), and Tales of Symphonia (GCN) uses DF Fuun as the primary font"

"Breath of Fire: Dragon's Quarter uses DF Fuun as the damage/heal/effect font"

"Some girl kids fashion including underwears uses DF Fuun in their texts"

Abyssinica Speech

The funny robotic Amharic text to speech, possibly made and voiced by one guy named Meshesha Kibret Cherie, based on my research about who made BunnaScript (also made by this guy, he has 3 videos explaining his programming language and his company name is EthioCloud/Meliyu/Kekros)

Some words are real recording instead of synthetized, like: 4W1H, some country names including Ethiopia, common verbs, etc

His actual voice, when he explaining about BunnaScript, sounds charming and friendly. Some of his TTS prerecorded voices for specific words sounds funny

So, Lapatata (in different languages memes Youtuber) used Abyssinica Speech to speak out words translated into Amharic. The non-robotic one, which is Ameha (Male) from MicMonster, is no longer used due to paywall, the pro voices no longer have a demo, and possibly warning from the company. At the end, Abyssinica Speech is still the best one for the Amharic TTS due to the meme nature of their videos

The meme: You sussy baka

Abyssinica Speech (reads the translation) : Anta... susi baka!

Korean blur

Zero tolerance brand censorship policy on South Korean media. Not even stores without names or with generic names can escape from this policy, as long as they have at least one board with text on it, though, the clerk or the owner or the employee will not be blurred if they're in the topic or in question. Any passerby stores/vendors, without or with names/brands, ads, and items with names/brands are blurred. They will even blur the entire background if the background is full of stores/vendors and/or ads and/or brands, like background blur in video conferences/meetings. An exception is when the topic takes place outside South Korea and will only blur what they visit or news footage with a reporter/journalist on the field, otherwise, the background or a specific street side is blurred if the footages are not from the media

Can someone explain about Korean blur phenomenon? Looks like South Korea has a societal problem that not even Japan have, although they have similar problems. Searching for this particular thing would only get about censorship in general, which is not specific to South Korea (with the exception of some crime-themed documentaries like Natgeo Airport Security, in which all passerby airplanes logo and even obscure brands or local business brands are blurred, possibly done as litigation due to strongly negative topics and possibly causes a bad reputation to passerby brands)

Google Lens

An intentionally stupid image search AI that censors you from searching images with women/girls, regardless of real or cartoon, naked or not. Also many artworks from small artists are omitted from the search, so that searching the OPs from artworks are hard on this and you have to rely on Yandex (most reliable) or Bing or Baidu (for Chinese artists)

Whenever it's not censored, the search results are not accurate and shows you similar things instead

"That farting woman cartoon that said "biu" has no result whenever you try to search on Google Lens, but Yandex and Baidu shows the exact result"

"Search any cute stickers or art you get from Pinterest, Google Lens might not tell you, not even giving the similar results"

"Try searching something like Touhou or any Japanese cartoons on Google Lens. They said no search results but for some reason, they sometimes don't censor"

Orang Tua

Or "OT"

One of the biggest consumer goods company in Indonesia with an old Chinese man as the logo

When abbreviated, people see this company like P&G and Unilever

But when isn't abbreviated, their name have a strong association to their red wine product, or amer (an acronym for anggur merah)(pronounced "amer" as in "America", amèr, amaer, A-maire, or a-mer)

This possibly causes their logo and how they called are different when placed on their non-alcoholic products. The non-alcoholic logo is simplified

Orang Tua Group produces things like dental health products (toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash), snacks, drinks, etc. Started as an alcoholic drink company, or they call it "traditional drink" and they still sell it
