They didnât invent the idea of comic books either, so why do we call them âmangaâ if they come from Japan?

Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world â¨1⊠â¨year⊠agoI fucking hate Kaizen. I had to go through it as part of a job placement program and was convinced it was a cult. Like no, I am not going to call âLeaving a reminder for myselfâ a Gemba. Iâm calling it a note because the japanese didnât fucking invent the idea of writing things down for later.

Because itâs a way to distinguish them. In Italy, we also call American comics âcomicsâ (instead of the Italian word for comics) for example.

Manga are a kind of comic, theyâre just pretty specific about their format and choices. Anime is a kind of animated cartoon, itâs just specific about its choices. Even âcoming from Japanâ isnât a requirement as long as it follows those traditionally(-ish) Japanese choices.

Eh, thereâs different schools of thought. Artists like Junji Ito or Kabi Nagata make stuff very different from the usual manga, but theyâre still called âmangaâ. In the same way, Radiant isnât considered a manga by many even though itâs so close to the actual ones it even got an anime.

I mean yeah. Most people define genres using association, and they can become a gooey mess at worst. Iâve been arguing for structured definitions for years, but itâs a lost cause. I still believe I am the only person who has a completely sane definition for ârole-playing gameâ. But I digress, fam. ^^

Shame on you!
Youâre taking food out of the mouths of the children of Management Consultants with your reckless disregards for the latest corporate management fad!

Itâs all the same bullshit as six sigma with their black belts and shit. Or if you are devops the utter trash called âAgileâ.

How can you say Six Sigma is bullshit?
Itâs literally just a method of identifying a problem, measuring and analyzing its impact, and implementing a lasting solution.
The difference between the six sigma method and traditional organizations is that:

Because Iâm not a six sigma whatever belt and all those things you listed are things that are just common sense.

This dude has really drank the kool aid. Imagine being tricked into thinking that you need an imaginary black belt to do root cause analysis and participate in a project
