Origins

In an HuffPost interview, the co-founders of the magazine described the origins of the magazine's title, "The name "Banana" comes from a term common in East Asian communities. "The choice for the name Banana is meant to be an inside joke," the magazine's founders say.[1]

"For anyone who has ever been called a 'banana,' you know that it’s a nickname that has been given to many first-generation Asians growing up in a western world, like us. It’s not meant to be derogatory, but celebratory," they write on the magazine's website."[1]

gollark: I don't think most stuff uses Extended ASCII anyway, so it's either 128 or some stupidly large amount usually.
gollark: It's not as if only 255 characters exist.
