My friend is in Japan, keeps getting this ad, and it's driving them nuts (they also says the company is worse than BetterHelp, apparently).

Adjusting to the reality that Japan isn’t full of walking booba waifus

I was eating with a friend in a Shinjuku bar once when the only other foreigner in the place came up to us because we were speaking English. Dude proceeded to rant about how women in Japan were "stuck up bitches" because they refused to date him.

Nothing more entertaining than an orientalist fetishizing white dude running head on into the reality that actual Asian women don’t conform to the submissive geisha fantasy in their head.

"Japan is good because it's an ethnostate and hates foreigners!"

"Wait, what do you mean Japanese people don't know their place as filthy brown peasants and just treat me like royalty? Do they not know they are angering a God!?!?"

I went to Enoshima and didn't pick up a harem of gyarus! WTF Japan?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Enoshima

Well there's your problem, you should have gone to Harajuku instead!

(Jokes, you should actually go to a shabby housing estate in Saitama)

...Is Enoshima worth it? I might return to Japan.

Legit question. Want to see more of the country.

I was disappointed with Japan one time when I realized there's not much (enough for me) prevalence of Judo schools in Tokyo. How much of an orientalist that makes me is between me and God. Though people were very patient and kind to me as I spoke with my broken Japanese.

Honestly, finding out that there's not a weirdly large subculture dedicated to [fill in the blank] in Tokyo is a bit of a letdown.

"What do you mean not every Tokyoite owns and regularly wears a papakha and cherkeska‽ Taiga Nozaki literally teaches people in that city how to dance lezginka!"
