| Sep 5, 2022 at 11:12 | comment | added | Skye-AT | @ashaad.montgomery It's in real life as well. I've actually seen a girl who uses "boku" as their first person too (though she've changed that to watashi later on). In regards to your understanding, yes that is correct. I'd say 90~95% of users of atashi as their first person is women (as far as I'm aware age doesn't matter though). | |

This might be digressing a little, but when you say atashi is not exclusive to one gender, do you mean in anime, or in real life as well? I'm aware anime sometimes have this trope called "Bokukko", where tomboys might use "Boku", but I have also heard from others that it would apparently be considered unusual in real life for a girl to use "boku", so I understand anime does not always reflect reality. My understanding is that atashi is most commonly used by girls and young women. Sorry if this comes off a bit dumb, Im still learning about Japan, thanks again. | |
| Sep 5, 2022 at 4:31 | comment | added | Skye-AT | @кяαzєя Ah, yes. I should have wrote that in my post. Most of (or maybe all of) first person isn't exclusive to one gender, so I've completely ignored about the fact that the Foo Fighters called themselves as atashi. Thank you for your comment. | |
