"You must not understand Lain, your stupid American"
- Konaka & Ueda

that's just Ueda

I'm not American, though.

Is there a patch or something or is this only web-based?

I've always wondered why the hate, and even more as what he meant by Americans not understanding, I'm not American myself so I really am not getting it

Completely false. Japanese may have more meanings assigned to individual words, but a simple examination of English makes it clear that there is no shortage of homophones to deal with. Considering the ease with which homophones are understood in spoken language and the existence of so many homophones in English and other alphabet-using languages like Korean which reformed its language to remove Chinese characters, it’s fair to say that the role of kanji in distinguishing homophones has been greatly exaggerated.

Kanji is not at all required for written Japanese and there are organizations in Japan that advocate for reforming the language to write only in kana and romaji.
