/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm actually a girl :3

p. neat

Not very /jp/-related. You should have posted one about how samurai used to have sex with their shota apprentices or something.

Grorious Japanese were going to taint their bloodline with niggerblood? Disgusting.

The first time Japanese saw a black person they thought he was covered in paint.

Now I know tohno's raiding /jp/.

>>10341146
They raid everything. They're ticks that suck the life force out of any board they taint. They ruined my ylilauta and I will never forgive them.

Ethiopia was also the oldest Empire in the world until 1974, having remained independent for thousands of years.

>>10341146
It's Jones and the /bun/ /b/ros

>>10341167
What happened in 1974?

>>10341174
Marxist revolution deposed Haile Selassie, the last emperor.

>>10341174
There was a Communist revolution so it stopped being an empire. It's still one of the oldest countries in the world, though not the oldest. China is still older.

>>10341186
>>10341188
Seems like the commies were having fun that year.

>at one point an Ethiopian prince was going to marry a Japanese princess (pic related)

Man, he really dodged a bullet there.

>>10341110
lol look at those weebs

niggers are weebs

>>10341188
>China is still older

How retarded can you be? China was never a unified state until Kublai Khan united it, even after his death the country broke up into smaller nations many many many times. China is quite a new country, it's newer than the USA, just like Germany and Italy are newer countries than the USA.

I can't help but want to go to /pol/ and post this

>>10341994
The state is. The Chinese (as a nation) is ancient.

>>10341994
So then I stood up and told that teaching lady there are only three letters I need to know, U, S, and A.

>>10342078
No it's not. The first time china was ever unified was Kublai Khan. The cultures are ancient, true, but the nation is not. The oldest state in the world is Ethiopia or San Marino.
>>10342086
Lots of people are retarded and think German, Spain, UK, France, and Italy were always one thing. I don't expect most people here to know that.

For three thousand something years China was an ever-expanding civilization-state with temporary periods of fracture, but the people living in it considered themselves one people.

Wasn't Qin Shihuang the one who unified China? What business does Kublai Khan have here?

>>10342119
So, 90% Han and a lot of tiny minority cultures and ethnicity that got swallowed up by the big Han state.

>>10342100
That's not true, it was always broken into smaller kingdoms. The Yuan Dynasty was the first time China was ever unified. There's no such thing as a Chinese ethnicity, that's like saying there's an Indian ethnicty. China hasloads of different ethnicities. It would be like saying there's a European ethnicity.

Qin doesn't really count because there's no Manchurians, Mongols, or Uighur. It can't be considered a single entity becuase of many times it broke apart into warring states. The Manchurian, Tibetans, Uighur, and mongols are relatively recent additions to China. China has only been a unified state since the Ming Dynasty. You could even say it's been shorter because it's had 3 civil wars since then. Heavenly Kingdom, Nationalist, and Communist revolutions.

>>10342132
>Qin doesn't really count because there's no Manchurians, Mongols, or Uighur.
At the time, those groups were simply not considered Chinese.

>>10342091
But that's what I said. "China" is a historical and cultural narrative that stretches back thousands of years; its mantle has been worn by many different governments since the time of Kublai Khan.

The BBC has a good series on this.

>>10342132
If you count only traditional chinese ethnicities, then yes they were the first to Unifiy that area of China in 221 BC. Ethiopia however, is as old as 800bc. Even Vietnam is as old as 2879
>>10342140
The sovereign state of china is not thousands of years old though. It's about two thousand and then some. Chinese Ethnicity is only a blanket term

>>10341110
That's pretty neat

>>10342154
>Even Vietnam is as old as 2879
The state only a very small region and it was only a tribal sort of thing. The country of Vietnam only took the shape as we know today after the southward expansion of the Nguyễn lords in the 16th century. Not to mention Vietnam was under the domination of China for more than a thousand year.

/jp/- The Nature of the State

but those are niggers

>However on the eve of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, when Ethiopia most needed Japanese help, the Japanese government decided to back its Axis ally, Italy. The Japanese ambassador to Italy, Dr. Sugimura Yotaro, on 16 July 1935 assured Mussolini that his country held no political interests in Ethiopia and would keep neutral in Italy's coming war. His comments stirred up a furor inside Japan, where there had been popular affinity for the African Empire. Despite popular opinion, when Ethiopia approached Japan for help on 2 August they were refused completely: even a modest request for the Japanese government to officially state its support for Ethiopia in the coming conflict was denied.

It's good to have friends whom you can rely on in times of need.

Wow The Japanese were being idiotic. On top of that the Japanese decided not to join the league of nations, which put then outside of the other countries. That is a whole lot different from joinging the non-existant axis at that time.

Please show me what you are reffering to when you say the Japanese sided with the "axis" of Germany and Itialy, because that didn't happen until after WW1. When you sau early 1900's it makes it sound like you're talking about 1900 - 1925ish.

>>10342154
Sovereignty didn't exist as a legal concept until the Treaty of Westphalia

Besides, there's no real point in arguing over what is and isn't "Chinese," since China as a nation is a conglomeration of foreign influences appropriated and then assimilated into a national identity.

Why is Japan trying to steal China's islands?

Is there oil there?

>>10342211
You would be surprised how my /jp/sies work in politics.

>>10344051
All Islands of the Far East, except Taiwan, belong under the Rising Sun.

>>10344051
Duh. Why else would they be fighting over a collection of god-forsaken islets in the middle of nowhere?

Fighting over barren rocks for what lies beneath the oceans that surround them isn't a particularly new phenomenon anyway. See Rockall, Dokdo, and the Spratly Islands. Oil and fishing rights are at the root of all these conflicts

>>10344062
>except Taiwan
Nice try, taiwanese weeb.

>>10344078
Im Amerikun

>>10344083
American-Chinese then?

>>10344085
No. Pure White. Taiwan and Japan have a small despuit over islsndds north of taiwan, but even one of the former prime minister of Taiwan says they belong to the Japanese. He also said Taiwan is in no position to be claiming things from the Japanese. Taiwan and Japan are allies against China. Taiwan and Japan get along with each other, more so than Korea and Japan or Taiwan and Korea.

That's saying something Koreans...

How is this otaku culture?

>>10344108
Meh we all are still pretty much stuck on Japanese royalty. We Otaku for dem princesses

>>10344111
No.

>>10344127

>>10344111
Ignore meta derailers.

>>10344129
Fuck off.

>>10344153
no

Sage.

>>10344163
yes

Qin counts because at that time, several states like the Chu were considered semi-barbarian, having adsorbed a lot of indigenous cultures from other areas.
