>>218242296She wanted to be a stripper but society shamed her out of itSad!
>>218242296>all womenreally joggin the noggin
>>218242063There's a lot of rules but after a month or so they were already so ingrained in me that they became automatic and I don't even notice it anymore. I had someone explaining them patiently always besides me though.The Japanese are alright.
>>218242783not really its not shamed. >>218242803this is a very typical workplace in israel
>>218242063This is something that I just posted on /a/. They told me to repost it here, and I thought it was worth a shot.I live in Japan, and it fucking sucks. I made a thread about this a lonnnng time ago, but this bears repeating.1. Anime and manga are more expensive in Japan. The prices are ridiculous, and it's hard for me to justify buying anime even though I feel it's important for fans to make an effort to support the industry.2. If you are a girl, you will be groped and treated like shit. I have had men grab my ass in public *7* different times in the past year and a half. My Japanese friends say that women should just grit their teeth and bear it, since if you try to do something about it you will be publicly shamed. I also feel dirty and pathetic when these incidents occur.3. Office culture in Japan is...intense. You are expected to show up at social gatherings even if you do not want to. And at these social gatherings people have the EXACT SAME CONVERSATIONS AGAIN AND AGAIN. I've had like 50 conversations on the power of beer to refresh you after a day's work. You have to say "good morning" every day in a very specific way, and if you don't then someone will approach you and tell you that's not how things are done at company XYZ.4. The people treat gaijin like shit. Even the ones who try to be nice come across as condescending and rude by American standards. There are also a large number of Japanese men who think gaijin women are sluts and that they can get you to open your legs at the drop of a hat. Fuckers.I wish all the Japanohiles could actually visit GLORIOUS NIPPON. They'd change their tune.
