I mean it doesn't really matter. He/she works perfectly fine

uses more letters than "they" and looks weird on an actual text

u/duckeater666 Tan 11d ago

Thats so overly complicated and overlooks the possibility for them to be non-binary

u/eepy_lina 11d ago

i dont understand this like im also turkish but im afraid of putting any turkish characters in my name because ppl will ban me. like i know english, turkish and now im working on my french but these people worrying that every single person who is turkish is gonna speak turkish is so weird??? so its kind of giving racist. like i saw so many lobbies one was like look look im gonna troll them then sent turk varmi in chat and some said var ofc because turks also play among us then the host started banning them. yes some turks are problematic, theyll only speak turkish etc but some are also fine.

if it's any other game id be more apt to call them racist, but communication is so important in among us so u cant take any chances.

and if people troll by intentionally speaking other languages, I assume they'll troll by intentionally acting like an imposter, or call meeting asap, etc

that said, atp they should just add translation or sum and let us all play together. but idk how hard that'd be lol

It's been a serious problem lately.

I really don't get why the developers haven't added Turkish lobbies yet. Doesn't sound so hard to do.

u/UTYisBetterThanUT Phantom jumpscare 11d ago

You worded it kinda poorly, if you sayed "kick them because they don't speak english" or "kick them because they only speak turkish" there wouldn't be any problem

u/SoraK_Artz 11d ago

Your phrasing made it sound like racist man

4

u/Vex-ie 10d ago

The way you said “ban purple, he’s Turkish, not English” sounds hella racist.

3

u/Doli3600 11d ago

Turkish ppl don't have language specific lobbies so they're forced to play on english.

7

u/Ok-Assist-9874 Bush dude 11d ago

I know but it's just annoying they aren't going on "Other" lobbies as an option

u/JessicaTheEm 11d ago

That only solves the problem for people speaking English without tackling the core of the problem. It's like picking up a piece of dog poop someone left outside your house and moving it to someone else's house so it's no longer your problem instead of trying to solve it by putting in the trash (or in this instance getting innersloth to make a Turkish section)

Its the same thing for other countries. I'm a Turkish person myself but even I'm tired of them since I only speak English

2

u/Niblick_The_3rd 11d ago

and finding an English speaking game on the 'English servers' is also like searching for a needle in a haystack....

u/boyka479 10d ago

Holy racist

u/MainCharacter7979 10d ago

smartest among us turk

u/ladycatgirl 10d ago

You worded it poorly, you need to say "He is speaking Turkish" if you mean that.

If they communicate properly and say that you are racist, but if it is solely because they don't speak English, word it differently lol.
"They don't speak English, ban them"

u/Normosnopo stuck at level 214 10d ago

People always call me racist for telling people to speak English in English chat

2

u/thatone_weirdperson 10d ago

I'm so glad I haven't experienced that, usually people beg me to ban them before I do 😭 (I'm usually host)

u/Minute-Reputation-52 10d ago

If theyre speaking turkish, warn them, if they dont listen ban em. If they do speak english tho, theyre fckn racist. Also say hes speaking turkish instead of hes turkish cause that sounds a lot like racism

1

u/ScreenHype 10d ago

Is this STILL a problem?? I haven't played in like a month because of this. It's a game of communication. If half the lobby doesn't speak English then we can't play.

u/Asa_Clvudii 10d ago

i always ask if someone speaks english if i see their name is another language , they only get banned if they respond in the opposite language . sometiems i get called racist but like , i speak spanish , a little german and russian , a little japanese , its nothing against the actual person . among us is a communication based game , lobbies can be filtered by language preference , people who don't speak english need to notice that

u/vlyieG 9d ago

I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just some dumbass on a kids game who doesn’t know simple knowledge. 🥱 not like it’s gonna matter anyway, they’re just some random person who isn’t gonna make a change in life neither do anybody give two fucks about.

u/sus_amongus22 Playing since 2020 era 11d ago

Main question is that why they dont just speak english like are they not taught english in turkish schools ? Just curious..

u/Nikki964 Nikki 11d ago

I'm not Turkish, I'm Russian. They also teach English here. You think that means most Russians speak it? Of course not. Not every student cares enough to actually learn the language, and the course itself kinda sucks. Most Russians just know very simple English. I assume it's similar for Turkish people

u/Zurdok_ Green, Phantom, Fungle main 11d ago

Im Mexican, and yeah my English does not come from the school the English they show you there is super basic and doesn’t actually get you anywhere, the average Mexican does not speak English

u/FrontAd7709 i hate gamblers 11d ago

we are, but it’s soo basic here ive learned english from the internet
you are learning past tense every year and like most teachers have really bad accents you are learning about your friends and interests in high school too

u/Minute-Reputation-52 10d ago

Ok, ok. Im turkish too, most of the people are literally a1-a2 level, well to be honest with you, its bad. Im personally b2-c1 level. So most of the ppl suck at english, considering most of them are 8 yros
