Doujin are IP owners having gentlemen's agreement not to exercise on their rights rather than lax copyright laws. The laws are incredibly strict but it still relies on companies pressing charges. Them not pressing charges doesn't mean the laws don't exist.

The japs blatantly ripped off obvious things during that time. Everyone knew it, and copyright laws weren’t really a global thing then, at least nothing any lawyers would seriously pursue .
The Japanese have always been masters at imitation, Kojima just made it very on-the-nose, which is his whole schtick.

What kills me are all the SH fanboys who claim that Silent Hill is this mastery of "Japanese horror" even though it was always about trying to be american.

The visuals are the obvious things but you should see the dialogues too. The dialogues in SH1 are the way they are because they took inspiration from David Lynch movies.

Because I am a normal person of normal intelligence, I'd argue it's Japanese horror all the same, because it was made by the Japanese.

>Because I am a normal person of normal intelligence, I'd argue it's Japanese horror all the same

Japanese horror is a genre, or a theme if you like, not a country of origin. In the same manner that there are Mangas being made in other countries than Japan, Silent Hill primarly taps into American horror. It has this eerie vibe not because "it's Japanese horror", but because it's American horror not done by Americans, but by people whose only perception of America come from works of fiction.
"Japanese horror" would be something that taps into the lore unique to Japan in that domain or at least widely used, like the concept of friendly and evil ghosts (Fatal Frame), or yokais.

It's decidedly Japanese in its presentation, especially the music. That doesn't mean it doesn't take very obvious American influence, but Japanese media with a lot of American influences and inspirations has a decidedly different feel than American media.

Calling Silent Hill J horror would be like calling Alan Wake (not retro I know) finish horror. J horror and American horror are just genres and if you didn't know where the SH were made you'd probably call them American horror as well because of how the settings, themes and even monsters that all clearly revolve around American culture.

I was reading book on them making Resident Evil and they said that in 80s and 90s the Japanese had no idea how to depict Americans other than American media. Thats why they just paint over pictures of 80s action stars or use backdrops out of movies like they did in Silent Hill.

He's a westaboo "film buff" whose only real exposure was highly-rated Hollywood blockbusters.
You know that guy you talk to who was really into REC and Oldboy (we all know one)? Imagine if he wanted to make his own movie for the Korean market but had to settle for developing a mobile gacha. That's Kojima.

Kojima has mentioned being influenced by some deeper cuts and talks about watching them on twitter sometimes.
He pastiches 80s action blockbusters because that's what he enjoys, and they more deeply influenced him than anything else.
People already hate on him for being pretentious, I imagine it would be worse if he was aping the Ozu vase scene or something.
His popularity is partially because of how he borrows heavily from popular movies anyway.

This is /vr/, it should surprise no one. I watch a lot of art/film festival horror movies, but I have a soft spot for 70s/80s/90s action movies. It is okay to criticize modern Hollyjew, but it wasn't always this bad.

Indeed. Also as another tidbit from the book was saying the dialog for RE1 was complete shit because they had to keep it simple for Japanese players. There was no localization at the time so they had to use extremely basic English so that Japanese players could understand what they were saying

Brother has a Japanese cast alongside an American cast and you can still hear Japanese in the film. It's a big exception that can be described as Japanese film that's in the style of both American and Japanese crime films. Leon: the professional is a French movie in the style of a western thriller. Again, country of origin and genres are two different things. When I'm asking for a "J horror" game I'm asking for a game that's entirely based around Japanese culture and the fears associated with it, not a game that's entirely based around American culture.
