Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.

Japan actually have a lot of independent PC game store, like DLsite and DMM.

Vtuber also popularize new generation to PC gaming, especially for competitive and social games. Not to forget, so many PC-only games sold in Japan store exclusive due to culturak differences.

The actual answer is Vtuber.

Vtuber playing a lot of PC-only games or modding acene, making people get inteoduced to PC gaming.

There is an actual industry analyst, but I forgot the source.

Graphite.rs is node-based.

It’s entirely different workflow.

Asian here and rice eater here.

Language doesn’t work in absolute way, it could change its meaning all the time.

It’s better to regain is neutral meaning instead of letting the racist weaponize neutral word.

Also, this mindset is also Western centric, go to Asia and people in Linux and car community simply use the word without any negative connotation.

Edit: By doing this, you’re no different from imperial government who tries to make one standard of morality, which in fact further hurts Asian living in Asia. And as Indonesian, I’m hurt with your statement. Let me regain the neutral meaning. Don’t speak for us.
