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.

And the last line was referring to, of course, Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Indeed, I really don't like Japan, myself. I don't hate it in racist sense, but I don't see anything so great about it.

I'm learning Japanese because I find it interesting as a language and (to a lesser extent) a culture as well, but I don't plan to "become" one of them (being a big white 外人, I'm sure that would never work). I'm fully aware of the problems with Japanese society; from reading about it, it sounds a lot like the rural US in terms of both attitudes and conveniences, and 5 years of that (Central Virginia, 1987-1992) was enough for me. Given that, I probably wouldn't want to live there very long, but I'd love to visit someday.

If they're referring to the Japanese versions, it should be "Ringu" and "Ringu 2."

Japan owns you, you fat American shitbag.

>>42

They invented manga and anime.

>>45

Unfortunately for you, I do not consider myself American and I'm hardly fat. I am actually quite thin. I abhore nationalism, though. I can't stand listening to Americans go on about how the US is the best nation in the world and your simplistic comment does not impress me.

>>46

So? Are you aware of the massive socialist influences in many manga and anime? Think about the existentialist qualities in Eva (they even named an episode or two after a line from a book by Kierkegaard). Last time I checked, it was Sartre (a diehard Marxist), not Hideaki Anno that existentialism is famous from.

And of course, consider the amount of feminist imagery in many anime series (Misato having major rank in Nerv), which is quite out of place in a misogynistic nation like Japan yet a major part of radical/socialist thought (in fact, many of the early feminist thinkers were also socialists and there is a strong connection between them).

>>45

How disappointing. I knew you were racist as hell, but I assumed the claims of nigh-superhuman intelligence had some basis in fact. If you can't distinguish a socialist revolutionary from a patriotic American, you have problems. Even Americans are vaguely aware that Iran and Iraq are different nations, for example.

I am a fat gay homosexual and suck my dad's dick lol

I can't imagine that I'd ever jerk off to cartoons regularly if it weren't for hentai. :(

LOL YOU WHITE PEOPLES

FEAR THE SUPERIOR CULTURAL EXPANSE OF THE GREATER ISLES OF JAPAN

>>52

Don't give me that bullshit. Having a superior culture to the US is like being nicer than a serial killer, assuming Japan does. I don't believe it does, though. Your culture has so many flaws that it is hard to seriously call it better than American culture. At least in the US, women and foreigners aren't treated like dirt.

In addition, anime and manga are not all that great. They stole (or as I like to say, recuperated) many ideas from or associated with socialism, even when they didn't fit Japanese culture at all (I'm thinking of the blondes and women in positions of power as well as the frequent existential angst and notions of pacifism).

Well since im in Canada,nobody here will ever go to a place with shitty beer (rice beer,lol),shitty hockey (Yes,Japan is shit in hockey) and extremely racist gooks saying other people look funny when really they should look in a mirror.

>>52 What are you talking about?! Foreigners are anything but treated nice in America, they are only treated nice in some of the larger cities of America. America, on a whole, is very racist, that's why we have to have strict laws against it.

Also, not every anime and manga follows what you say. You could say the same for American art, books, movies, and music actually, for example, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sesame Street, etc. Given, lots of media in Japan does not correctly reflect Japanese culture, but when was the last time you watched a movie that screams American culture?

>>55

Name some examples. I don't see xenophobia at all in the US. It's one of the few good things about the US. In the south, maybe it's true, but on the whole, I don't see any

Why do you hate me, Japanese posters? What did I do?

wapanese just want to look cool and live in the fast lane, and idolizing japanese things and latching onto new stuff that comes from there is how they imagine it can be done. Its probably more like a hobby to them than an obsession.

Perhaps. I'm mainly talking about how I've seen them asking where to download Japanese commercials.

>>61 Yeah I agree, that's annoying. However, I download funny American commercials so I don't see why I wouldn't download funny Japanese commercials.

Southern racism is vastly overstated. Even semi-racists americans might not be your friends, but they won't treat you like shit for no reason and kick you out of their restraunts. In addition, Japan is universally hated in east asia, except by a few worthless kotakus in korea.

>>48
What?

>>47
Where do you live?

>>when was the last time you watched a movie that screams American culture?

That's tough, considering the U.S. doesn't have a culture of its own. Maybe in a few hundred more years it will have developed one.

It's imperative to talk down a nation if there are those who love it so much.

It's not like a someone who loves Japan will just turn around and say:

"Hot shit; after what this guy said, Japan sucks! Fuck 'em!"

What do you call someone who loves England?

>>68
An Englophile?

Good.

I want a Japanese guy to come post about Japanese people who think America is the greatest country on the planet, and how they are all dicks.

>>70 What would you call such a thread? "On Japericans"?

US culture: phallic weapons and apple pie.

OBESITY CANNON EXTRAVAGANZA

Are there any American???
I guess here are some japanese 2cher only.

>>71

Jyankees?

There is only japanese from 2ch on here website.

And mainstream infantilism. Not of the diaper and milkbottle kind but of the whiny crybaby attitude when something doesn't go their way. I'm sure there's a few snooty ass artfag eurotrash fellows that'll back me up there.

Legend of Galactic heroes

americans are wapanese
