Hi. Not trolling here, but why are armbands with symbols popular in Japan? They don't think that's offensive to other countries around the world?

>> No.4345443

if other countries are offended by accessories, that's their problem.

"Waaaaah some country that was our enemy 70 years ago wore armbands, now nobody can! waaaaah!"

I never got their interest in what blood type they or someone else is. Is there some vampire thing going on there and people are allergic to certain blood types?

Offensive to good taste, maybe. Unless you're an athlete mourning a teammate's death, armbands look stupid.

>> No.4345572

Are there specific sizes of armbands or is my arm too scrawny? Got one from a friend. I tried it on, but it feels like it would slip out the moment my arm.

I would be willing to bet that most people in Japan couldn't find Israel on a map if it was labeled.
