I'm not the only one who uses this spelling. Probably because it resembles the English colloquialism "Gotcha". The term itself in Japanese is actually supposed to resemble the sound of a crank on a vending machine that dispenses capsule toys.

Isn't pronounced "Gatcha" but we say Gacha anyway 'cuz we're stupid lazy fucks?

again fuck u guys for not appreciating my meme

There's no such thing as a "tch" in japanese, nor is there anything that ends with "t", those aren't vowels.

Gacha is supposed to be the original way you pronounce it... with the official phonetic system. The extra t is pretty much added because we english speakers think it sounds like that.

Or for the gotcha meme, whichever fits.

There is the geminate consonant in Japanese. So the 'ch' sound is doubled to give 2 x 'ch', spelt as 'tch'. Like in Matcha (まっちゃ).

I'd take it as "maccha". The tiny tsu (actually I dunno what it's called) for me is an indication to pause a tiny bit before continuing with the next phonetic. Which as I did say, we can label as an additional t because it can sound a bit like that when we english speakers hear it.

I for one don't mind, just look at my tastes
