| Topic | Japanese perspective of Logan Paul: They don't seem to care that much. |

Nothing could be further from the truth. In america if you ask a RANDOM person he/she will tell you that schizophrenia/ psychosis/aspergers syndrome are caused by biological factors and is largerly outside of a persons influence. In japan 90% of teachers, and working professionals will assume that mentally ill people are not mad, but BAD, as in that their mental problems are caused by character flaws, errors in their personality or just 'being assholes'. (This is the label someone with aspergers is most likely to get in japan. And they'll be nice to him. Just like they're nice to every foreigner. But trust me. If you were a native japanese person they would be far less tolerant of your quirks and weirdnesses." I have Aspergers, and the idea of "mental disorders don't exist and they just use it as an excuse" is how I've been treated here in Canada for as long as I remember. It seems like that idea is just everywhere. --- ~Nintendo 64. Get N or Get out. Coming Fall 1996~ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
