On Wapanese

I hate many things, but there is one thing I hate above all else: Wapanese. Even Goths are better than Wapanese and that is saying a lot (no offense to anyone who actually is a Goth, you are better than the Wapanese at least). Even those North Koreans who think Kim Jong-Il is so great don't irritate me as much as Wapanese.

This board and many others are filled with people who idolize Japan as though it were a holy place (and of course they have an analog to the hajj). They download torrents of Japanese commercials! They watch Japanese television and go on about great it is that Japan has the most advanced technology in the world (don't you just want to smack them with a Unabomber's Manifesto?)

However, they gloss over the real Japan, the Japan where women and foreigners are treated terribly and hyperreality engulfs all. Japan, as pointed out in another thread, is the most artificial culture in existance. Wapanese, for some reason, seem ashamed of our "primitive" culture where things are still real.

In short, Wapanese are fooling themselves and living in inauthenticity. If they are so ashamed of US culture (I don't really blame them), they should revolt against it, not look for another culture to obsess on.

What I hate is the way my friends eat ramen, and call Ring and Ring 2 'Ringu' and 'Ringu 2'. The way they constantly litter sentences with random japanese words (because they can't even speak japanese fluently, morons). The way they, as siad, idolise the Japanese culture and want to move there. They don't even think of the cost involved; varied insurance types, residence, immunisation jabs, getting a new job...... and so on and so forth.

Fair enough, they're all american (I'm British), and we all know most of today's teen generation hates america, but do they have to worship a country that will be one of the hardest to integrate themselves into? And all because they like ANIME.
You don't see me filling a bath with red dye and screaming about Rei.
