Lemme guess the most honourable cultural guardian is a teenage white girl whose sum total knowledge of Japanese culture and history comes from her Crunchy Roll subscription and Reddit?

Ahh so, most insclutabrel!

Might be third or fourth generation immigrant, they tend to go hard into this shit sometimes as a way to compensate for the fact that they are for all intents and purposes assimilated fully into "white" culture but don't like the fact the language barrier prevents them from really connecting well with their ancestors culture.

Course it doesn't really matter in the end what race the person making the message is because the message sucks anyway. Beyond that I think it's funny they whine about how only Japanese people can express their opinion on this when it's a Chinese game in the first place. I wonder if they even realize that.

Probably. Most japanese artists and users I see on twitter don't put the Japan flag on their names or bios. They just write everything in japanese or say something like JP/ENG. The ones who are tryhard like this are usually compensating.

I'm trying to make sense of the handle myself. Hina is an actual girls name but it's not super common I don't think and it's pretty weeb adjacent because of anime like "love Hina" or whatever. ほむら isn't a name at all and means flames or something like that, a quick Google search seems to bring up yakiniku restaurants and some anime character.

Then Kittychankuniku, kittychan is hello kitty so that's normal. No idea what the fuck kuniku is supposed to be. Searched it in Japanese and it came up as 狗肉 dog meat. Lol.

I'm guessing it's supposed to be 苦肉 which is "Deceiving your enemy by causing your own suffering or that of your ally" Not really sure what is going on.

Her Twitter feed looks like typical Tumblr nonsense she's just got an Okinawa fascination. So I'm guessing it's some kid obsessed with genshin impact and Okinawa who spends entirely too much time online.
