Is japan overrated?
The recent twitter auto-translation activity has revealed that Japanese people are much poorer than I would have expected.Suddenly all those tidbits about 80-90% of Japanese women engaging in pornography and prostitution, "herbivore men", etc. make more sense whenyou put it in the context of a relatively safe and orderly technological civilization that has fallen on hard times.I think I still had a mental image shaped by sci-fi from the 1990s before their economy went into decades of recession.
>>84561823love that people are still treating twitter like a model. most gullible generation ever.
>>84561660Yes. I'd rather be born into flyover nowheresville USA than be born a Japanese person who's expected to work until he dies at his desk from a heart attack alone and sexless. Japan is hell if you really look into it. Extremely oppressive, exploitative, and loaded with an absolutely asinine amount of social rules that you can absolutely never break or your whole bloodline is dishonored or some shit.>>84561833Because it is. I'm getting tired of explaining that the world is so centered on the internet nowadays that it really is becoming a reflection of reality.
>>84561879I see thats what I was thinking
>>84561833You don't get an accurate cross-section of any population, but you do get representaive examples of various types of individuals across the population.SO, when even what appear to be the popular "influencer" accounts in Japan still seem to be flexing things that seem mundane after the currency conversion it makes the whole country seem poor.
>>84561660It depends... what rate are you getting?
>>84561823Yeah. Basically, they can afford rent, utilities, transit fare and limited food. Eating meat is a rare treat, it's mostly vegetables and rice.
>>84561660wouldn't necessarily say so, it depends on what part you visit.the normie places to visit like akihabara are more watered down, than they used to be due to tourism.den-den town in Osaka gigamogs akihabara in that regard, better doujins, figgies and gooner merch over there.Chiba's an underrated prefecture in JP though.
>>84561660it is overrated as far as their contemporary culture goes. i will never understand people who say they like japan when what they really mean is they like shitty anime and have yellow fever. japan peaked during the prewar era and have been on a downward spiral ever since
>>84561660>Is japan overrated?Tokyo sure is. it's a shithole like every single major city on the planet. shitty people, tons of tourists, brown people, etcbut like other countries, the lesser visited places are really cool and nice like Kyoto or Hokkaido or Kanazawa
>>84561660its the new Paris for normalfags that fantasize about a place without ever "ACKTUALLY" learning about the people or cultureweebs already it sucks to actually live there as a japanese person, that why they have such shit taste with moeshit and isekai and marie rose being the most popular DOA character
Anywhere that is modern and lacks niggers and white women is an upgrade, anon.
>>84562304welcome to the rice fields mofu gga
>>84562347This shit always makes me chuckle. London is overrated. Visit some lesser visited places like Manchester or Leeds. New York City is overrated. Visit some lesser visited places like Chicago or LA.
>>84562490>Visit some lesser visited places like Chicago or LA.no, those are tourist hotspots and also shithole major cities like nyc and should be avoided. the less visited places by tourists are always better in every country. less people, more opportunities to meet cool locals, less tourist traps, less browns, etc
>>84562490>LA>lesser
>>84562362ngl, would love to get away from self hating white people and their non-white golem demons.
>>84562641>>84562809nta but are you two autistic
>>84561660>overratedJust the other side to "hated". Unbalanced opinions on both ends. Japan has many good traits, especially for tourists. How much you appreciate them is up to how much time you spend cultivating appreciation.
>>84562490every major city in the US is the same judeo-diversity shit hole. tokyo and kyoto, besides both being infinitely better than any american shit hole, are night and day. tokyo is "hustle and bustle" endless modern city, while kyoto is comfy with more parks and lots of historical architecture.
>>84561660>go to Japan>surrounded by cute skinny Japanese women I don't know, you tell me? Is that overrated? Compared to what? Being surrounded by fat spic women, black women?
japan died with the release of the third playstation.
Yeah it is. The entire reason you wanna go there is for the night life. The day time is complete boring, depressing, rainy garbage with shit tons of formalities everywhere you go.
>>84562822noBUT NYC IS A STINKY OVERPRICED WORHTLESS SHITHOLE, HOW DARE YOU COMPARE IT TO LA OR EVEN CHICAGO
>>84562304That used to be true historically with the cope they were buddhistsWhich is why east asians are short
>>84562304>Eating meat is a rare treat, it's mostly vegetables and rice.switch meat and vegetables around and you have modern japan. meat is everywhere and cheap, but they really skimp on the vegetables.
>>84561660EXTREMELY overrated. Some Westerners even think women there are superior for some reason.
>>84562362>>84562817this is the real reason it's still paradise, though (((they))) are hard at work fixing that
>>84562304>they can afford rent, utilities, transit fare and limited foodso basically the same as everyone else who isn't born rich? except maybe middle class americans if they still exist
>>84561879Japanese people work annually fewer hours than americans btw. Least productive member of the g7 per hour too so their work hours have more fucking around, which is in line with what they say.
>>84561660it's alright, if you hate it and constantly seethe about it you're probably brown and jealous
>>84561660Anon...japan has fallen to the hands of the islamics
>>84561660Not overrated. Westerns have incorrect conceptions of Japan and then are surprised when Japanese people don't act the way they think they're supposed to
