  • As someone who also speaks Chinese natively and have additionally seriously studied classical Chinese and used to read historical documents and books, no not at all.

    I always have Chinese text in the same font size as English, never found myself in need of adjusting the font size at all.

    However, I am studying German and I do sometimes finding myself wanting to enlarge the font a bit, even though it’s the mostly the same Latin script as English.

    I think ultimately it depends on how familiar you are with the script, once you are sufficiently familiar you only ever need to be parsing a part of the script when you’re reading it, at least most of the time and in daily uses, so glyph stroke density is not in itself an issue.

    By the way if you find Chinese script looks cramped, look up the historical Tangut script! XD




  • Exactly.

    It’s not so much that Americans are like this in general, there are always people like this and people who are opposite from this in any county, America included. But because of social media, the voice of specifically this kind of people get magnified and appeared much louder than the voice of people not like this.

    Many American ran social media (those offered by Meta especially) are specifically designed this way because they operate in such a way where engagement generate ad revenues, and conflicts, destructive and otherwise rage inducing content are the most effective ways for generating engagement on the internet in general. Unfortunately over a course of lack of regulatory actions they have perfected a balance between as much rage inducing content as possible and not too much destructiveness to a point where they get into legal troubles.
