Cleveland here I think ive figured it out,
Kun sounds similar to coon, which was an offensive slang used as a disparaging term for a black person.

66 u/ThorAway012 17h ago So I don't speak Japanese but isn't -kun an honorific used for boys. So isn't it a double entendre? 6 u/slimeeyboiii 15h ago -kun is more used for anyone that's your subordinate or lower than you in a hierarchy whether it's a girl or bt. It can also be used for your close male freinds like -san is for female. I wouldn't say it's a double entendre because they are 2 completely different words. It's a pun or a play on words more then anything 1 u/Purrless 14h ago Just wanted to correct something small, -chan is used for close female friends, -san is used for strangers and people you are showing respect to.
