Japanese streamer angry after YouTube subtitles claim she used a slur YouTube\/Sakura SenpaiJapanese Twitch streamer SAKURA Senpai wasn\u2019t happy after YouTube\u2019s auto-subtitles incorrectly indicated that she said a slur in one of her recent videos. According to the subtitles on her February 16 video \u201cHow to talk to girls according to Japanese English textbook,\u201d Senpai used a slang slur \u201cAsian n**gas\u201d around the 2:50 mark. However, as SAKURA was quick to point out during her most recent stream, the video is chalked full of errors to the point where YouTube didn\u2019t even get her name right. \u201cYouTube subtitles say \u2018Asian n-word\u2019 or something. I didn\u2019t say that at all!\u201d she explained. \u201cSeriously. I didn\u2019t say the n-word at all.\u201d \u201cI just really want to apologize,\u201d the streamer continued, despite the fact it wasn\u2019t her fault. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry, but I didn\u2019t say that. YouTube just misunderstood.\u201d She went on to say that she didn\u2019t know how to fix the problem, but provided additional evidence that YouTube was in the wrong. Loading up the video, the entertainer showed how mere seconds into the video, YouTube mistook \u201cSAKURA Senpai Live Japanese streamer\u201d for \u201cAgnes my life Japanese sister Eva.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s Agnes?!\u201d the streamer asked her chat. \u201cWhat does it mean?\u201d The errors continued a bit later on in the video too; the video mistook her saying \u201cin Japan\u201d for \u201cin the farm\u201d when she was talking about Valentine\u2019s Day. \u201cIn the farm?!\u201d she laughed, clearly amused albeit frustrated by the auto subtitles. For her part, Senpai seemed to conclude that this would be a good way to get multiple views on her video from each user, suggesting that her audience first watch it first normally and then with subtitles for a good laugh. There\u2019s no denying that the mistakes YouTube made were quite brutal, to say the least, even if it was just a case of the program having a hard time understanding her accent. Luckily, Senpai approached things with a clear head and was able to explain it all to her chat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
