How does crossposting work on lemmy?

Anyway, "isekai" is now a official part of the Oxford English Dictionary. I actually don't know if that means that this means that it is now officially part of the Englisch language or not, but I think it's cool.

But more importantly, "battle shounen" is not in the OED. Which means that isekai is clearly the better genre!

So now I can threaten to isekai people?

Well, at least you can make fun of them now when they don't know what that means. It's worth something...
