Ah yes, analysis paralysis combined with the paradox of choice. A classic /ic/ phenomenon.

gee without reading anything I bet OP has a really good point and wasn't just a borderline autistic freak who weirded out his teacher with an inappropriate essay on why tying up naked little japanese girls with ropes in the basement is actually really based and cool

maybe if we didn't all try to aim to be wannabe Asian's this wouldn't be happening. their media is good but I'm beginning to suspect their entertainment media carries that kind of resonance with it, that a lot of people in the world are buying into.
not to mention Japan has a pretty advanced system of technologies and has a lot of shrines for 'relaxation', and a culture orientated around work. it only makes sense that all those things would tick the boxes of career chasers in the West, but because you're not allowed to discuss the less cheery side of Japan in said detail, and like the stuff you've mentioned, everyone is carrying its baggage and problems too, despite how unhealthy a lot of it is.

But of course, because Japan loves its coom so much, none of it matters because hey, free coom right? Worked pretty well for those AI Art softwares...

tried art college. unironically i felt overqualified and my polite nature somehow got me on people's badside, and I was called a luddite because I wasn't glued to my smartphone 24/7 and didn't like having every scrap of my work thrown into a computer (despite the rise of AI-art feeding off of this kind of data).

some people were alright, but anyone that was kind of in a similar boat to me eventually left because its becoming increasingly obvious that hanging around these sorts of places isn't a good idea, nor is giving them your hard-earned money.
