If I say "Saiyan" a la FUNimation (which I refuse to), then I'm saying the word wrong and all the purists (myself included!) have a problem with it.

If I say "Saiya-jin", all the FUNimation loyalists troll me on YouTube with personal comments about my mother.

If I say "Saiyan" correctly, NO CAMP can accept it.

FML.
I simply cannot fathom why people can't just accept that other fans may pronounce something differently and move on. While I do understand people being annoyed about thing such as "Hercule" as that is completely wrong, it just doesn't make sense to me that people can seriously bash and insult each other over how they choose to pronounce a word. It all seems really pathetic to me. When you look at things like this it's not hard to tell why our fandom has such a bad name (other than the daizex forums of course).

I think the gripe is that "ai" does not equal "ay." So it's grammatically incorrect to pronounce "Saiyan" as "Sayan."

To that I say... So what? It's the name of a fictional race. I'll say it how I want to say it.

"Saiyan" isn't a Funi thing. It's been used as the romanization of "Saiya-jin" on Japanese merchandise years before Funi started dubbing the show.
Sorry, I was quite crazy:D:D I imagined, how are you pronouncing bad the word Saiyan on Kanzentai pages :lol:
