/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>2042732
I blame Kusumi Koharu, that fucking whore ruins everything.

There's a reason we used to call ourselves otaku, instead of weeaboo.

Most of Japan sucks. Most of all countries suck, for that matter, but there are plenty of ways in which Japan sucks worse. (Salaryman culture, for one.) Sure, there are cultural elements we like, either because animu has given us an appreciation for them or because they're just plain cool, but that doesn't mean we need to love the country.

We called ourselves otaku because we didn't want to be regular Japanese, but because we love Japan's anime, manga, and otaku subculture.

Tl;dr less WWII/xenophobia moar Comiket and akihabara.

Hate is necessary for understanding Japan, and for surviving cancer.

Well, you better submit your findings to a university. I can see the headlines now, "4chan user finds the cure for cancer; hatred."

racism is more in touch with japanese culture than little japanese girls though

If you take the shit posted here seriously then you are an idiot. Sure there are some issues of xenophobia and such in Japan, but this is 4chan so everything is always blown way out of proportion.

There is a certain type of man who can't feel alive outside the world of anime.
This is the story of a famous gaijin who is today known to many as the "otaku saint"...
I can see it.. Legendary Otaku Anon.
C'mon, admit it, you're all superstars, not just the tripfiends.

What's that doll they're holding, anyways?

This. It really isn't quite as bad as people here make out. I would say it's actually similar to most other developed countries in terms of racism and discrimination.

>uchi-soto

Why is this bad? This, as far as I understand it, is just a natural human trait that the Japanese have given a name to.

>are wont

>>2042826
He's correct though. "Are wont to" is valid english, perhaps a little archaic though.

>>2042850

Indeed.

Also

wont =/= won't

>>2042850
Yes, about the same reason I posted Mao.

>>2042746
I fucking hate Kusumi Koharu

>>2042861

Everybody does, she's our favorite scapegoat for every failure befalling MM.

Suppressing your hatred will definitely give you cancer. China said so, so Japan believes it.
