/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

So, how many of you would actually become Japanese if you could?

Actually Japanese here; it isn't that great. You're usually on the shorter side, and you don't stand out as much as a European person when you're actually in Japan. Japanese women tend to like white men because they look "foreign", just as white men like Asian women.

Sadly, still no one likes neckbeards.

I dont want to be japanese. I just want to be in gensokyo while keeping my nationality and culture.

I think rest of /jp/ doesnt even want to live in gensokyo or care about japan at all.

No one, enjoy living in a horrible country while we pirate your media.

I live in a 3rd world, man. Anything would be better than here, plus it fits my hobbies.

[Anonymous No.]

If my life didn't change aside from my race then hell no, if I got to start again in Japan then maybe that would be okay.
Hell yes if I get to keep all my current knowledge.

I'm rather attached to my current body, I would only consider actually becoming Japanese in race to fit in better and be accepted in Japan.

[Anonymous No.]

I would. The disadvantages of Japan are irrelevant to me as a Japanese or a gaijin.

[Anonymous No.]

No. I find the culture interesting, but I like my current life and country more than that.

Get out, /a/.

I'd like to be Japanese because that means I'd probably know Japanese.

That's the thing. If you were Japanese, you could pirate even the untranslated stuff with no disadvantages. And you wouldn't need to travel overseas for comiket. Merchandise everywhere.

Yeah but you'd just wish you were white so you could read and speak English better.

Incidentally when I first glanced at this thread I thought it was asking about becoming a contractor, not Japanese, and I figured I'd somehow clicked /a/.

I think you learn some English in school in Japan though, you'd probably know more than you know a bit if you paid attention. You can work on it from there.

You do, English is a regular class in High School, but I mean, how many people can fluently speak the spanish/french/latin they took in High School after a few years? English is considered one of the harder common languages to learn.

You better be joking, English is one of the most easy languages to learn. German, French and Dutch are much harder for example.

I didn't say I was fluent in English, I'm not an native speaker. I still think other languages are much harder though.

I certainly enjoy visiting Japan. Tokyo is obscenely convenient, what with the world's best mass transit, a cluster of vending machines every 50 feet, a convenience store on every corner, and whatnot. But I would never, ever want to live there. I'm used to having a certain degree of personal space, and that is one thing Tokyo does not have. Even in the busiest parts of Manhattan you aren't perpetually shoulder-to-shoulder with people like you are in Tokyo. Now, I haven't been to areas outside of Tokyo; maybe Kyoto and Osaka are better about that; but I'll just stick to visiting Japan, thanks.

Adjectives either have forms to express their extent themselves - like easy, easier, easiest, or they just use "more." You don't say more and easier together, you say more when the adjective you're using doesn't have those forms, like "more difficult." There's no difficultier.

Don't know the exactly terminology for it though.

Whenever I try to type Japanese it's in one of those threads that inevitably get "this thread burns my eyes" or "stop butchering the language" posts, without anyone pointing out what people are doing wrong. At most, they point out what's wrong, but not why it's wrong.

Even my Japanese teacher responded to something I wrote with "the grammar is wrong, but I can see you're improving."

I wanted to ask where my grammar was wrong, but there was no opportunity ;_;

I'm pretty sure average hourly wages are significantly higher here than in Japan, so even when considering the extra shipping and toll fees when importing merchandise, I'm better off in my current country. Not to mention that I would most likely have committed suicide by now if I was raised in Japanese society.

[Anonymous No.]

Lived there for a year, have to say I would most likely have killed myself if I had to grow up by their shitty school standards system that forces you to be a soul less piece of shit. There is a reason why Japans NEET problem is higher in regards to voluntary NEETS than any other country.

Well japan does have the fifth highest suicide rate in the world. (as of 2007 apparently)

>and you don't stand out as much as a European person when you're actually in Japan.
Is it really that good to stand out, though? You're not exactly talking to people who are planning their trip to Roppongi to pick up cheap Japanese sluts.

Social pressure. I ended up becoming a shut-in NEET in one of the most liberal and relaxed countries in the world. I don't even want to imagine how I'd end up in a country like Japan, where you either work hard and get along with everyone, or get treated as lower than shit.
