especially in the areas surrounding military bases
because of rape cases
They like tourists. Come in, spend some of your sweet money buying stuff, then leave. They'll love you for that.
that's unfortunate @Mal
the rapes I mean
oh no, that sucks
The video on being Christian in Japan is interesting. Even among Japanese Christians, they don't share much of Christian values with the west.
The kid saying, he only converted to Christianity after he visited the USA, because a Christian family was nice to him, and help when he got his wallet stolen.
Why do they make their anime characters look western tho? /troll
velly honurubru riot porice
Makes one think, if something happens to a westerner in Japan, if he's going to get any help.
They might get help from the Yakuza
oh I'm sure that'll end up well.
I don't know, I'm sure Jap authorities would be accomodating enough
Then again, they'd probably assume you were a tourist
What happened?
I mean, come on, help out a victim of a robbery, that's not something exclusively Christian; yet, it was mindblowing enough for the kid, who grew up on a Christian family, that he decided to be Christian himself. People say americans are selfish, but damn, Japan sounds even more so.
Van of peace happened.
If you needed to contact an official in Japan you would want to conduct yourself very carefully and politely when speaking to them
If you seemed like you expected help, they probly wouldnt try too hard
sometimes It seems like asians don't have souls, but that might just be their culture
Yuta had an interview about having foreign neighbors.
Japan doesnt have individualism
They all expressed a similar sentiment of not wanting to live near a foreigner, because they might get involved into the neighbor's problems.
Japan might get some induvidualism soon if their Anime inspire their kids
They are adopting more western ideals
yeah thats interesting
Like My Hero Academia
my experiences as a tourist there have been great. People usually assume I'm American, and are somewhat cold, but when I tell them I'm Danish they lighten up quite a bit.
Its the most induvidualistic anime I have seen to date
Did you challenge them with your viking sword?
didn't make it past customs
Things they were afraid, from a foreigner neighbor:
- foreigner asking to borrow stuff
- foreigner making noise and partying at inappropriate times
- foreigner asking them for help, directions, etc
- foreigner trying to convert them to their religion
Thats my fears
anxiety culture
``partying at inappropriate times``
i'm a bad neighbor
all pretty normal if you ask me
you're that guy, eh?
