"puurnyeh"
that i can actually answer! there was an entire movement/subculture thing anchored to the word "freestyle" in the late 70's-early 80's. think rollerblading, skateboarding, downhill skiing, extreme sport stuff, and pastel overalls, headbands and sunglasses:
there was even a band named freestyle. my mum was really into them as a teen.
also, sony sweden insisted. they were adamant that "people wouldn't get it" if the thing was called a walkman. and they were right; the word freestyle is still in common use, while "walkman" never really took off.
i feel like the content of the bundle does very little to bring attention to the fact that the largest victim of this has been lgbtq+ creators who got their shit removed despite not being sex-related. this is all just porn... and postal 2. which doesn't help either.
if it was representative you'd have more than two parties
yeah there is very little info on this stuff. i chose a map from 81 but at that point it was already a walkman in england. however i did find a picture of the "sony stowaway" original packaging.
it's uh... wasei-eigo. it was meant to, quote,
introduce the idea of "Japanese-ness" into global culture, synonymous with miniaturization and high-technology.[60] The "Walk-men" and "Walk-women" in advertisements were created to be the ideal reflections of the viewing audience.[61] Sony implemented a marketing strategy, hiring young adults to walk around in public wearing a Walkman.
naturally, the marketing agencies in some countries didn't really get it (see also: the Honda Pussy) and suggested different names
...that might have been me
and people wonder why i don't want to use urbit
i mean for tasting, sure. but not as a long drink...
Edit not that martini qualifies there, for that matter
you sure it was youtube? because that's literally a porno. same energy as "this isn't a beach, this is a bathtub!"
