Seeing Anya (the girl pointing at pictures), I'd guess the author is partial to Japanese culture. As their writing system does not have a concept of upper/lower case, he might just have determined that they are superfluous. Or he is simply an eccentric. Though I guess this is one of the things that some folks will not care and others getting hung up mightily.
I personally don't really mind that bit of capitalization that English does. German is much worse.

- xdennis 2y agoNot quite the same. Capitalization doesn't add much to languages written with the Latin alphabet. THE ROMANS ONLY VVROTE VVITH CAPITAL LETTERS. But the Greeks added vowels to the alphabet because Indo-European languages rely a lot on vowels (as opposed to Semitic languages which are easy to understand without vowels).

- sva_ 2y agoI remember back in the IRC days many people wrote all lowercase. Seems like smartphone keyboards, which autocapitalize, have changed that trend.
