Is japan still insanely and ethically indenfensibly conformist and vicious towards dyed hair?

I suppose it's not really that different from the west, we're still terrible nazis about people's appearances in many cases,, just taking it a step further. Nobody should give a shit about your hair colour, really, it's just another form of discrimination so all the usual guff will come out. I don't get why it's important to defend someone's "Right to religion" which is forced on them anyway, and not individual rights.

But Japan is a crazy place so maybe it's all changed the last few years.

Lots of people have dyed hair over there, so not so much.
But I do approve of discrimination, so in my opinion, that's bad.

Um, instead of acting like a conservative faggot will you please explain how it's not a form of discrimination? I'm guessing you're one of those idiots who only considers forms of discrimination to be the ones that get popularised in the media.

Discrmination against appearance is bad because you're telling people what to do with their own body and self image. It wouldn't be so bad if anyone at all took it seriously. The way it is in Japan is just pretty insane.

Hey, don't pick on me just 'cause I'm a hick!

Um yes, there are times when this will happen in extreme cases. In terms of abuse on the street, and interviews in the workplace, it's rampant.

Oh wow, do you have any idea what discrimination actually is? If you copy and paste anything mentioned with "gay guy" it would definitely be discrimination.

Gay people don't have to be openly gay either, you know. There is still a "choice" involved, but it doesn't make it any more acceptable to jeer them.

>You forgot that people see you outside of your retarded solipsistic world. Yes, I'm going to discriminate because it was YOUR choice and it reflects YOUR bad taste.

Um, what if someone is openly gay, exactly? They "Like" men and they're acting on it, just like someone who might like a certain hair colour.

"Bad taste" is completely subjective. Personally I think anyone with your views is pure social cancer. Actually, that's probably more objective than your view of "bad taste".

So it's okay to discriminate against someone for being an OPEN homosexual, then?

Genetics can pre-dispose us towards almost ANYTHING including taste in haircolour. Some people are predisposed to standing out by lacking the genes that cause herd-like behaviour. We don't have a fucking clue about what is and isn't defined with genetics, and you're talking through your ass either way.

It being a "choice" doesn't make it any more acceptable to discriminate agains someone for it. Why do you have the right to exactly? "it's not genetics" is no an excuse. WHY is it acceptable to discriminate against a choice and not genetics?

It's not affecting you past you maybe seeing someone a hair colour your closed mind finds unattractive. Poor fucking you. Let's lock up the black people so you don't have to deal with all that shitty brown.

That's just a shitty reduced form of Hobsons choice. By doing so you're pretty much forcing most people not to look the way they want. Why should they have a right to discriminate against hair colour any more than someone for being openly homosexual? Or wearing an item of religious significance? That's even more of a choice.

The majority of office jobs do not deal directly with the public. I will focus on those right now. What exactly is to be gained? Do you know the first thing about Utility in this situation? It does not weigh up as being fair at all.

>If your place of work asks for "professional business attire", your hairdo is included, as are your clothes, personal hygiene, etc. Look the part.

That's a statement of fact as to how things are currently done. There is no defense for that statement in your post. Try again. Just because people are required to "look the part" does not make it acceptable to socially pressure people into looking "Normal". There are instances wher the same tactics are used to push religion - for example in terms of social pressure, you will not get a US president anytime soon who's openly anything but christian. This is just a more extreme version of "Look the part".

The law of averages is a lay term used to express a belief that outcomes of a random event shall "even out" within a small sample.

As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects bad statistics or wishful thinking rather than any mathematical principle. While there is a real theorem that a random variable will reflect its underlying probability over a very large sample, the law of averages typically assumes that unnatural short-term "balance" must occur.

That doesn't excuse the discrimination that causes the Hobson's choice to begin with.

Those people who chose their "Hair" are chosing something more than that. They are the only thing that's making it so people aren't completely and utterly forced to have "Normal" hair. The minute you realise that, the minute I might take you seriously.

It's not your place to define other people's values. for some people the key to individualism may begin with sitting at home with purple pigtails.

when it comes to Japan TONS of younger people dye their hair (mostly to a kind of orange-brown color), especially females, but most workers have to keep their hair a natural color, read: black. in the states I'm sure you could get away with dying your hair blond because there are plenty of naturally blond people out there. that's not the case over here, where most all Japanese people have dark brown or black hair.

I.e. according to standards dreamt up by snivelling little corporate shits who like to control people. Professionalism is not an objective standard.

BECAUSE of prejudice. Calling it "Professional attire" just makes it all the more revolting that you're trying to candy-coat it. There's no real reason for it to begin with.

You can bitch all you want you whiny little faggot, it's not going to do anything.

I JUST SHAVED MY BUTT HOLE AND NOW IT'S BLEEDING. THERE WAS TOO MUCH HAIR IN MY BUTT AND IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING UP THERE. I WAS SICK OF ADJUSTING IT EVER FEW MINUTES. SHAVING IT WAS FINE UNTIL THE END WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS BLEEDING IN THAT STRETCH OF SKIN WHERE MY ASS MET MY DICK. WHEN I SEEN BLOOD ON THE RAZOR I FREAKED. THEN I PUT A WASHCLOTH UP THERE THAT IS NOW SOAKED WITH BLOOD AND SHIT. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER SHAVE YOUR ASS.

Sorry hun, "individuality" isn't expressed. Anyone who expresses their opinion wants one of two things.

1. To be agreed with
2. To be disagreed with

Communication as a whole is a desire to come into contact with one another, and to be able to do so. This is perfectly natural, everyone is prone (to some extent) to feel familiar with one another. Creating (or forcing rather) a avatar for people to view you as is no way an object of individuality, it's a way to have people agree or disagree with you. Individuality is what your experiences and thoughts directed you to; what you believe in.

You cannot have this without DISCRIMINATION as much as you can't have it without it. Dying your hair is a form of COMMUNICATION not INDIVIDUALITY.

I can't live without getting at least 12 hours a sleep a day. Sleeping is heaven, it's the greatest feeling the world and you can dream! You're not a good Hikki unless you get 10 hours a sleep a night. My philosophy is that there's no point in going outside and seeing the world, because I can dream all of it myself. It's beautiful. It's the highest form of life. Nothing can surpass it. As people work themselves to death on my behalf, I'm lying still in my bed, dreaming away. Why are those who work considered better, when throughout history, those who own the highest pleasures do not? As a Hikkikomori, I am a majestic aristocrat, and sleep is my ambrosia.

The terming of Lucky Star as a "slice-of-life" animu is mainly an excuse to justify its general lack of humor and complex plot points. In most animu that are considered "slice-of-life", more emphasis is put on setting and atmosphere than on the writing. In Lucky Star however, the setting is generally ignored and often replaced by one color backgrounds during unfunny comedy bits. Slice-of-life is NOT in any way a justification for lack of interesting writing if what makes slice-of-life animu enjoyable is completely missing, which is the case in Lucky Star.

I pedal the last stretch uphill. I can't help but notice that lately it doesn't leave me as tired or out of breath. It's been a few years trekking the deserted coasts after all, my legs are not what they used to be. Stepping off the bicycle, I look at the outstretching view. I'm standing on what used to be a mountain, but now I can feel the sea breeze hitting my face.

The smell of the ocean reminds me of my first days in this forgotten land. Japan hasn't been the same since the storms, and returning home is now almost impossible.
Or that's what I like to tell myself. I'm sure that if I looked hard enough I would find one of the last transports to the other side of the ocean, but there was really no point.
The same stories all over the globe, or at least those were the last reports.
Right before they shut down the internet, and 4chan with it. Now, my Anonymous status means nothing, the life I knew gone, and my only goal now is to find that mythical place before we fade out.
I look upwards to the sky, watching the clouds pass by lazily. I miss them. I wonder where the rest of us are. Lost, thrown all over the planet, and with no way to contact each other. Maybe some are traveling with me, no way to tell. Of course, looking for that cafe is popular. I have already run into otakus, their heaving and wheezing easily recognizable.
They are not so common now.
I draw a sip of the water bottle. It was a good idea to ride a bike instead of driving a motor. A pre collapse physique wouldn't be able to deal with this new world.
Taking a last, long look at the crashing waves, I start to pedal again. I'll keep looking for that place, that cafe attended by someone who might not even exist. All I need before seeing humanity's last throes is to drink a cup of coffee at Cafe Alpha.
It might take me ten more years, and I might not even find it at the end. The bike goes faster, gaining speed downhill. I'm not in a rush; she will wait until I get there.

8.GOOD JOB THE WINNER IS YOU!


Just study these books in that order. Get the CDS for all textbooks. Find and Download "Yan-san and the Japanese people" movies and accompanying workbooks. Study this series in combo with Genki 1 and 2. When you get to the intermediate level, start seriously trying to understand jap drama which you download off the interbuts.

once you get past the "integrated intermediate japanese" text, start importing JLPT books for Nippon, particularly the listening comprehenstion.

Also try to find a tutor, but if you can't don't give up! Speak it when you can, but you can still go a long way by studying grammar AND listening comprehension. Listening is a great skill to build. When and if you do get to japan , and if you followed the method I outlined above, your moonspeak ability will be excellent. even more important is that you built a strong foundation of grammar and comprehension ability, so when you immerse yourself in japan, you'll be able to thrive.

Please tell me you are trolling. Having a hair colour that is different makes you "rarer" therefore more individual. Your personality may still be shit, but that's usually not been the case in my experience. Either way the very fact that you have a hair colour that's less common makes you rarer.

Yes exactly. Pink hair is rarer than brown hair, for example.

Pull your bullshit YOU THINK YOU'RE DIFFERNT BUT YOU@RE REALLY THE SAME every dumbass does, but it won't change this fact. Someone with pink hair is still deviating from the norm in that respect more than someone who natural brown hair, so isn't deviating at all.

No matter what you do, someone else will have done it anyway. It's not a question of having a unique part, it's being a unique mix of existing parts.

>Outrageous colors usually indicate a desperate cry for attention and/or fandom, both of which is needless faggotry. End thread.

You have no evidence to back this up. You only believe this because it makes you more comfortable in your normality. You are of a higher class.

But there is not a single piece of real evidence backing it. Even personal experience would be clouded with so much idiotic bias you couldn't begin to take anything worthwhile from it.

butthurt hot topic goth

in the adult world there are means to differentiate yourself from others through less superficial means than dying your hair, getting a lot of piercings, or whatever. which is why a lot of teenagers dye their hair and grow out of it. I used to have bright pink hair myself, as well as black, red, and a bunch of other colors. it was fun but now I'd rather show my identity through more substantial means, such as my accomplishments or talents. People who still wear "the costume" into their late 20's and 30's are usually covering a large void in their personality. If they were true individuals they wouldn't have to rely on such crutches.

I put this out there.

I see someone strolling down the street. They are 6 foot 3 inches, built like a Mac Truck, dressed in metal studded black leather, wearing a bandanna and a giant manly beard. They look angry, and stalk about looking like they want to kill.

I am about to walk past them on the street. How do I interact with them, in a fashion that meets the OP's standard for "not discriminating", while still valuing my life.

After all, any decision I make is based solely on my first visual impression of them, and is by definition a form of discrimination.

Going out of my way to be accepting of people is ALSO a form of discrimination.

Two people come to a job interview. Both are equally qualified, but one has his hair dyed pink, while the other just has his natural hair colour. Now, to an employer, the ideal employee is one who just responds "yes, boss" to any order he gives without complaints and then executes it without problems.
Between the two, who do you think gives the impression of being closes to that ideal? I would think not the guy who feels the need to "express his individuality" (whatever that means) so loudly.

Yes, that's the very definition of prejudice. Prejudice is having a predefind notion on someone based on criteria that is not directly relevant to what you're judging them on.

Replace "pink hair" with "black" and you'll see what you mean. It being a "choice" is no excuse, that just means you're not only discriminating but limiting people's freedoms.

>Ok, troll, let's keep going. Doing something as common as dying your hair isn't deviating from the norm.

Yes it is because most people don't fucking dye their hair pink to begin with. If the vast majority people don't drive purple cars and you do that's deviating from the norm too.

All these bullshit "you can be an individual without looking different" faggots have no fucking idea. Yes, you can, however that doesn't mean someone ceases to be an individual because you, someone incapable of the most basic forms of logic, decides they do it purely for attention whoring. Not to mention you show no sign of individuality in the way you speak anyway.

Jesus christ you have the most stupid viewpoints I've ever enountered.
