Exactly what I thought. Kinda related, but it is always funny to see someone go bananas when someone uses "JAP" for JPN/JP games, and not even realize context is everything. I use JPN or JP just so I don't rustle jimmies as explaining this shit every time is a drag.Talking about this reminds me when people called anime "japanimation" in the late/early 2000's. I need to watch Excel Saga again.
The people who type it that way, English isn't their primary language usually. Even back in my Phantasy Star Episode 1 & 2 days, Japanese people would use it when I partied up with them unless instructed not to from some weaboo.
Such is life in the politically correct world making problems out of mole hills.
