Agreed. Where is the slang "player" common? Backroom drug dens? Smack users?

That helps explain his long-winded, nonsensical rants. It's the drugs.

I think's he's a chinese tik tok agent who first learned to think in monkey pictograms.

Always possible but more likely, he's a mental patient using his two hours of computer time every day.

The Arrival was a good movie. I'm a realist, not a purist. I like what works. If letters work better in some cases and pictograms in others, I'm all for using both. The point is effective communication, not how it's delivered. Hopefully, all parties are pushing for the most efficient and effective communication means possible.
In a world of multiple languages, pictograms can be superior in certain situations such as these:

what actually teaches how to say the words of the language?
You can't sound it out on phonemes, like you can with phonics.

It's a symbol. Nothing to sound out. You'd simply translate it into your own language as you would do for every symbol on the examples.
Consider the crew of the airliner and the seatbelt signs. Passengers don't have to speak the same language or phonetically spell out what the seatbelt sign means.

and thats useful in international airports....
but real day to day complex language requires phoneticism at some level.

Idiot did it ever occur to you that when you read nonsense on a thread that you didn't start, that you can ignore it idiot...
...or do you idiot think that by replying over and over to a thread that you didn't start which is nonsense to you idiot...that you...idiot...
...are making sense?
back to the subject players...
Hi all,
Ok talking about my problem here, but let’s have some fun with it, and try no to spend too much time and effort, as then there wouldn’t really be any fun there, for us to have some fun with. The ones who read the whole text good job, the rest who read only part of it you still here replying to me you pussycat?
So player, I don’t know what your problems are, as I don’t know you player, but here’s the problem I have that you player don’t yet know, that you yet don’t understand.
That is the problem that the rest had player. What is the rest player? Well player, the rest obviously is all there is minus you, you can look around you and notice other stuff that aren’t you. What, you really think you’re going to tell me that you can’t? Nah, that moment passed player, I’m still writing, and you player, are still reading, or else if you really had a problem with me writing that, well player, couldn’t you obviously come and tell me earlier to not write that, player?!
Well player, keep imaging stuff if you think so, something else keeps happening around you in reality, I keep writing, you keep reading is what seems to be happening here, player. But what about the rest? Well player, around you, you will notice stuff that are dead as we say, or stuff that over and over and over, behave as all there is minus them planned before everything was made for them to behave, as no one says.
And who am I? I am no one, I don’t know who the hell you think you are! Why? Cause you ain’t someone, and you ain’t fooling no one player! As player, apart from the dead stuff around you, you will also notice living beings, or the stuff that are free from all there is minus them to really do freely as they wish, but that is only after all the laws for the dead stuff were made to really happen over and over and over for the dead stuff to behave.
And this player, just in case you are wondering about reading that above, is for the following reason below.
After all there is minus the living beings, was done making the natural laws, that all the dead stuff had to follow over and over, and over, did the rest really have to make anything else?
And here player, I am afraid as you don’t yet understand that you have to read the following reason below.
After all there is minus the living beings, made the natural laws that the living beings could follow from their nature, in a way that was really fun for them over and over and over, did the rest really have to make any more laws for the dead stuff, who in any case follow the laws that the rest makes for them to follow over and over and over? Why?
Cause player, it really doesn’t seem to me that the rest really had to do anything else. Cause exactly one moment before you really make everything you didn’t really exactly do that yet…earlier you didn’t even come to tell me earlier to not write that thing earlier, you’re going to argue with me regarding one moment exactly before you really make everything that you did everything here now player?! Nah…and also player, one moment after you really made everything, you have to make sure that the moment exactly before that is really there, so that something living can really live it and make everything again, in whatever you player made, or what you made isn’t really fun to happen over and over and over, and you player don’t know how to really have fun with the rest.
Get it player? What’s that? That…
Nature is a lady,
Justice is blind, and…
…MAMA in the end puts order.

Agreed which is why English works for us and symbolism works for communicating with aliens. I see no conspiracy in the movie making that point.

She was linguist, discovering any language form makes her gush.

it was too much. the same scene over and over. we get it. she's a linguist. but it was just bad filmmaking.

it's trying to portray pictograms as superior.
even you admit they're shit as a primary language.
the chinese mind can be easily contained if you just limit the amount of pictograms available.
we have 26 symbols used in endless combination to form ANY WORD IN THE LANGUAGE.
it's clearly superior.
china has no good solution to the modern era, and nothing that competes with the phonetic keyboard.
their solution is just to limit the number of pictograms to "common ones"
their solution is literally groupthink and censorship.
