Current Events > Why are Western men so obsessed with Japan and Japanese culture?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Japan makes better games, America makes better music, all subjective yo my own taste of course. I do find it fascinating how any attempt from Japan to emulate some Western always ends up being at least as good as the Western equivalent (usually better). Like Silent Hill, Japanese infused Lynchian psychological horror draped in meat and rust as a binding agent. Dark Souls is way better than any Western Medieval fantasy. Even though I say the West produces better music there's a ton of stuff coming from Japan that is very technically impressive it just doesn't jive as well with my ear (could be a language thing, the cadence of their words require different things from backing instrumentals perhaps? I dunno...).

Yeah, I don't know shit about Japanese culture either. And I don't care to.

Wait what? So...why are you name dropping Japanese figures as some sort of requirement for legitimate interest in Japanese culture?

What do you mean by real deal? Just because they're into a different, more modern part of Japanese culture doesnt make them man-children.

Make no mistake, I don't even watch anime or read manga myself. I love the Japanese entertainment industry mostly. But your post is strange.

>ethnically homogeneous

Bullshit.
Japan has been fucking with Koreans and the Ainu for most of forever.

Better question is why are you so obsessed with hitting up the nursing homes for ass
