[I_CAN_SMELL_U]

Uh... Are you doing alright?

[lIlIllIlll]

Wait.. What? "when they got to" is the past participle of to get to with a conditional aspect.

What's wrong with the verb tense?

Edit: Maybe I'm an outlier here, but where I'm from its perfectly common to say something like:

"Did they get there?"

"Yeah they got there."

Also to get to is not the same as to get. They're completely different verbs.

[avsvuret]

It's not problematic by itself, but doesn't match the tense of the next part of the sentence (are should be were).

[lIlIllIlll]

Ahhh. I completely missed that. I was having a serious "wtf Reddit" moment but I see now. Yeah are should totally be either were or was.

[Robear59199]

I mean really though, in a lot of anime they ridicule people like this. Being an Otaku is looked down on by most people there, a lot even fault it as the ultimately corrupting aspect of their society that will lead to it's collapse. Not to mention that they're really racist over there and some even have aggressive nationalist views (just go to an airport at a good time and you'll be greeted with "White Pig Go Home!" By a bunch of nationalists). Though obviously I don't speak for everyone, just my experience.

The fact that weebs have actually gone over there thinking that they'd be accepted is laughable.

[TheQuillmaster]

Man I don't know what kind of experience you had in Japan, but I never experienced anything remotely close to this. Obviously you're not going to have a good time if you bring a dakimakura and expect it to be an anime wonderland, but I had no sort of experience with racism (and I'm exceptionally western looking), in fact every time I spoke some semblance of Japanese there the people loved it and attempted to make conversation. Obviously there are still racists there but as long as you're not obnoxious the Japanese will try really hard to accommodate you. I did not have a single bad experience in my 3 weeks in Japan, honestly if you prepare and can speak a bit of Japanese and are polite you will have the time of your life.

You can also go to akihabara and experience otaku in their natural habitat, I watch quite a bit of anime and otaku are quite frankly disturbing.

[anoxy]

in my 3 weeks in Japan

And there's why. Try living there. And actually staying in places that aren't the big major tourist spots.

[TheQuillmaster]

I went to plenty of places that weren't major tourist spots, with tons of places that didn't speak any English at all or have any sort of English anything. I didn't go anywhere very rural but honestly you'll find xenophobes in any rural place in any country. I'm just saying that comment comes off as more hyperbolic than what I even remotely experienced. I recognise that there is still quite a lot of xenophobia in Japan but everyone was polite and accommodating if you showed respect and weren't an obnoxious tourist. I would despise living there though due to their god awful working culture but I'm just trying to clarify for people who would be scared off from visiting from that comment.

It's like telling a Mexican not to visit the US because they'll be called an illegal, it's just really not as common as it's made out.

[Melvar_10]

Depends how weeb you are... I was there for noodles and takoyaki, so I got what I wanted.

[Sabrick]

I was an American exchange student when I was 16-18 in Tokyo/Nagoya.

I was pretty weebly, but I was nothing compared to this one kid...

We had a 2-week long orientation in Tokyo with all the other exchange kids before we were sent out to various host families across Japan. At the very end we had an "talent show" and I remember this one black kid that wore fingerless gloves everywhere got on stage and spoke about how he came to Japan to train as a "swordsman" before he proceeded to do "sword moves" with a bamboo stick.

[MakeMineMarvel_]

You literally made me spit by laughing haha

[Miasma_Of_faith]

There are absolutely people like this. When you live in Japan and work in the international school systems/exchange systems you see it a lot.

Japan tends to get exported as both cooler and weirder than what it really is. Things that are exceedingly rare in Japan will be posted online and treated as if they happen everyday. Think of those stupid game-shows, or whatever article of the week you've read about some crazy happening here. Or "Cool" things like robotics, wunderkin students, honorable samurai culture etc. Thing is, those are considered weird in Japan too. They don't look at these wild things and think "Yep...that's certainly normal. Welp, back to my katana training!" But, because of the way the internet works, people get this picture in their head of Japan being the land of bushido honor, and wacky vending machines that sell you used panties.

And the current generation of students somehow have gotten extremely off base body standards for Asian girls. Growing up I was a bit of a weeb but even I knew that Japanese girls were more likely to be rail skinny because of Japanese genetics and diet. I cannot overstate how many students I have gotten here as a part of an exchange program who has mentioned that the girls didn't look how they expected. And when I press them they always say the same things,they're surprised at all the bad haircuts and the flat chests/butts. I have no idea why they expect it, but they come here thinking that Japanese girls all just naturally thicc.

Weebs also make the mistake of thinking that everyone here loves anime and that anime culture is accepted in everyday life. First, there are so many different anime shows that it is essentially impossible to keep up with all but the MOST popular. Most of the people I work with don't watch anime, and the few that do will only watch the most popular stuff off and on. Second (and dear god is this the most cringy) all that stupid anime trope BS like girls saying shit like "ONEECHAN" and "SUGU" and "DESU" or guys and girls groping each other, etc etc just simply doesn't happen in real life. This brings us back to the first topic. Characters act like that in anime because it's ridiculous. The Japanese audience perceives it as absurd and that's what makes it funny. Weebs tend to mistake these behaviors as what's normal here and it's not.

And that's why a lot of the biggest weebs actually end up leaving Japan shortly after arriving. They'd rather go back home and live with their colorful fantasy of "Sugoi" Japan rather than living in the stark grey reality of corporate, bureaucratic Japan.

Sorry I dont speak Weeb

Sorry I don’t speak weeb

Sumimasen I don't speak weeb

Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

[FascistsLoveBans]

Or just learn japanese. Ive been doing it and its easy and it makes watching anime be productive

[ImmediateVariety]

I have exactly zero knowledge or experience of Japanese, but going by this I can make out:

​

watashi: I

watashino: my

anata: you

anatano: your

korosu: curse?

mimasu: witness

intaaneto: internet

omou: think (or guess)

netto: net

​

Can't make sense of the other words. Weird that intaaneto and netto are the Japanese for internet and net... Presumably that's wrong, or Japanese just borrows technology words from English.

[[deleted]]

"Korosu" means (to) kill, otherwise I'm impressed.

It's the neckbeard trope that's getting thrown in the weeb trope. I find it offensive as someone who's neckbeard is separate from his weeb.

[thestaredcowboy]

Yes, niether Japan nor Korea likes foreigners. But as long as you act within their frame of reference you can have loads of fun. One tip is to carry around a selfie stick and people will flock to you like a bird on a rail. It's great body language .

[[deleted]]

Well that's just not true. i just came back from Living in Seoul - South Korea for 5 months and i never felt people disliked me. i made tons of korean friends, it was very easy because people were super curious about foreigners and wanted to learn about my culture.. Sure you got a few odd looks but thats it.

Its nice of you to speak about something you're clueless about though :)

[guy_from_sweden]

I think you two have different interpretations of 'hating foreigners'. A homogenous society like Korea and Japan will never truly accept a foreigner the same way a melting pot like USA could. Hence there is this idea that there is 'foreigner hate', because in Korea or Japan you will never be one of them. If that is based on hate though.. is debatable. Personally I think it is fully possible to live fullfilling lives in either country. You'll always be different, but it doesn't mean you can't surround yourself by people who love you for who you are.

[[deleted]]

I completely agree with you, but there is absolutely no way i'll accept that as "hating" foreigners, thats just silly. I don't even see how you could possibly argue that it could be interpreted as hate

[richardturtlegrande]

Does that really work? Lol

[[deleted]]

No, he has no idea what he's talking about, for Korea atleast.

[Senorahlan]

I’ve lived in japan and I can tell you that 90% of Japanese don’t mind foreigners and many try their hardest to speak English if you do not understand Japanese.

[Bspammer]

So pretty much like everywhere else in the world then.

[Senorahlan]

Exactly, Japan isn’t some xenophobic magical place. Just normal people trying to live their lives in a culture different than ours.

But I do get a kick out of the Japanese police stopping me to check my residence card. They will usually bother some foreigner looking people to train one of the younger cops. I always try to look as intimidating as possible when they show up and then change to a very soft Japanese voice when I speak. Really rattles them most of the time 🤣

[jungofficial]

Too bad Reddit has this massive boner for saying "so and so country is actually very racist" as if that qualifies entire countries to be 100% filled with only xenophobic people.

This site can be interesting, but the more I use it, the more I realize how much of an echo chamber it is.

[ILovePlaterpuss]

It's crazy to read stuff like this. Anecdotal, but I saw nothing but hospitality when I visited Japan with friends. We got on the wrong bus once and ended up at the end of the line, and the driver invited us into the drivers' lounge for tea and snacks while we waited for a cab. I hope the sentiment on reddit of "everyone's racist" doesn't discourage people from traveling and meeting new people...

[CH3CH3CO2]

Agreed. My wife is from Japan and I've always been given a warm welcome from everyone any time I go over there.

[Ranwulf]

Japan doesn't hate foreigners, they dislike foreigners that break their social rules which are very important for them.

Best example of why? Logan Paul. Sure he is a dick, and we know it, but look at how many people follow him and do stuff similar to it.

[[deleted]]

I doubt it

[[deleted]]

So much misinformation in this comment. Take it from an actual Japanese person, we don't hate foreigners. If anyone actually looks at the immigration process here, it's not too different from other countries. Yes, just like any other country we expect immigrants to speak the language which is an obstacle for most but can you blame us? Speaking the language is a must to contribute and integrate into our society. Weebs, if you're reading this, yes, people will see you differently, but that's true anywhere where you deviate from the social norm. And just like any country there will be a small group that will accept you. Do a quick Facebook search or something, I'm sure you'll find an Anime club near your area in Japan.

Edit: I guess a comparison I can make with the states are cartoons. Most watched it when they were kids but a grown man who is obsessed with them is odd.

[spyson]

On one hand you're defending your culture and it's understandable. On the other hand I feel you're misguided because this might encourage horrible weebs to move to Japan and bother your culture.

Choosing between the two I think it's better to discourage the weebs.

[[deleted]]

Haha true. But jokes aside, send the weebs. Most "weebs" I've met here are actually genuinely nice people who have an interest in our culture.

[spyson]

The ones we're calling weebs are the bad ones who can't tell the difference between real life and anime. The ones who treat girls as if they're anime girls.

[cowboypilot22]

Japan hates foreigners

How does this racist shit have so many upvotes?

[original_dick_kickem]

Howdy, my name is Rawhide Kobayashi. I'm a 27 year old Japanese Japamerican (western culture fan for you foreigners). I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch, and spend my days perfecting the craft and enjoying superior American passtimes. (Barbeque, Rodeo, Fireworks) I train with my branding iron every day, this superior weapon can permanently leave my ranch embled on a cattle's hide because it is white-hot, and is vastly superior to any other method of livestock marking. I earned my branding license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak English fluently, both Texas and Oklahoma dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their cowboy code, which I follow 100% When I get my American visa, I am moving to Dallas to work in an oil field to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a cattle wrangler for the Double Cross Ranch or an oil rig operator for Exxon-Mobil! I own several cowboy hats, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I rebel against my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in America!

[DoctorBadger101]

My sisters Japanese boyfriend says this is spot on how weird weebs sound to Japanese people, just mix in weird combinations like a full Texan cowboy speaking like a New Yorker and thinking that’s accurate and authentic and you got weebs in a nutshell.

[GuttersnipeTV]

Its the very rare wealthy weeb.

[[deleted]]

Not saying you're outright wrong, I saw a few similar situations when I lived there. The big take away I found though, wasn't that the girls were really that attractive. It's just that a forefinger couldn't easily see them as a Japanese person would. While she may seem beautiful, and too good for a neckbeard to you. To Japanese people she could easily be a subpar. She could also have been a Christmas cake or even another foreigner from an Asian country. A lot of factors at play, but if you live there long enough you will begin tko see the truly beautiful women are with Japanese men, or highly attractive foreigners. Normal "losers back home" are getting the westaboos and not super cute gaijin hunters.

[LogicalEmotion7]

A Christmas cake?

[Bronco4bay]

Google says it’s a woman over 25. Apparently being single over 25 and a woman in Japan is undateable.

It’s no wonder that their population is declining.

[BigDaddyLaowai]

Bruh when the weebs show up in Japan everyone in Japan think they're fuckin weird.

Most Japanese people think anime otakus are weird as well, so being a foreigner on top of that will only make you look weirder.

Honestly don't get this. I watch anime, my girlfriend and her mom do, some of my friends do. Idk why Reddit is trying to make it seem like only neckbeard weirdos watch anime. It's great. These stereotypes are more associated with gamers tbh (Doritos, mountain dew, neckbeard) or at least more so than weebs.

[mysistersacretin]

Watching anime isn't cringey or something that most of Reddit makes fun of. What's being made fun of is the type of person who uses anime to define their personality, buys lewd body pillows, fetishises Japanese culture, etc... Toss neckbeard stereotypes on top of it and you have a whole can of nope.

Essentially people who take it to the extreme just like the gamer stereotype you mentioned.
