So it has come to my attention in the last year that I have been avidly participating in Death Note activities, that there seems to be an overabundance of fans that refer to Yagami Light as "Ratio". This is something that has perplexed me, but I have spent little time actually thinking about it, and rather just concluded that it is related to the copious amounts of morons that populate this planet.
However, in light of a recent discussion with my sister, who apparently DID deduce the idiotic reasoning behind this little frustration, I have regathered my WTF Army and am ready for battle against what I have deemed to be the most silence-and-awe inducing fad of all time.
Ratio, according to my sis, and this is incredibly plausible, is a mispronunciation of 'Light' by the Japanese accent. Now, it seems that rabid anime fangirls, in a misguided attempt to either be cute, sound smart, or 'out-dork' their equally annoying buddies, have cleverly decided to pronounce it with this Japanese accent we have seen in the dubs. It sounds a little bit like 'Ratio' (not in the literal form of the word) due to the fact that the Japanese alphabet contains no 'L', nor an 'R', but a misconjumbled mush of the two. So when a Japanese-speaking voice actor says "Light", as it is only pronounced in its English format, it involves a little bit of accenting. Now we can assume (without making asses of ourselves

that fans are only pronouncing it this way for one of the three reasons previously listed. My bit on this?
Shut the fuck up and say 'Light', you idiotic wannabe pansies. You sound like a douche, and you are probably an idiot, and you're confusing the hell out of people who don't really take the time to figure out WHY in god's name you are calling someone by a name that isn't theirs. You fucking suck dick. Fat throbbing dick.
GAWD.
