Whatever do you mean bro?

It's a question with only one answer. (other than that I'm lost.)

At least I'm not the only one...

Well it has three answers: Yes, no, I'm adopted.

Half the humans you meet are probably speaking in Spanish or Chinese.

 While it may very well be true for background noise characters, none of of the named human NPCs gives any indication of that. Canadian and Australian are all the natural non-'murican flavors we got.

And the only mention of pre-UGC earth states is about that company from the US that built the Nova. Though Victor is a more slavic name, but still he could be a 15th generation immigrant to the US for all we know.

I don't think you need to be from x place to speak in a language that was born in said place or bear a name typical of it. Considering that back in the mid Nineties I met a girl whose father was hugely interested in Japanese culture and chose a Japanese name for her, who's to say that Terrans aren't going into a pseudo-otaku revival and it's fashionable to speak in Ainu and name your children after Idolm@ster characters?

Yes, I was talking in realistic and slightly sly terms rather than what will hold true for a fantasy porn game mostly written by white Anglo-Americans. The uncomfortable truth is that different ethnicities in this game, as in many other sci-fi worlds, are represented by the aliens. Humans in these titles are generally there to provide solidity and a certain comfort, a baseline by which the weirdness of ayylmaos can be measured. Throwing the complication of the difference of perception and values afforded by coming from different cultures within humanity itself muddies the water too much.

And so, this thread that might've been just been ended with a standard reply launches into a discussion of languages in a space sex game

Ainu? What they couldn't get actual Japanese so they went for Japan's native american analogue? Sounds pretty damn hipsterish.
