Stop calling them "taikonauts" "Taikonaut" is a gibberish exonym coined by some dude in the west. "Taiko" doesn't even mean anything in Mandarin There's no reason to use an exonym, when the Chinese already have their own name for them: yuhangyuan or hangtianyuan

@kgan4733 Then they should be taikongnauts, not taikonauts Taikong is space, taiko is gibberish

@kgan4733 No don't be silly, taikong and taikon do not sound the same Why would taikongnauts be weird if it's correct?

@kgan4733 That's a dumb argument You're arguing that Chinese people should butcher the pronunciation of their words to "make it easier for everyone" Please take a moment to reflect on the stupidity of what you just said
