as long as being a student, its not bad to live in japan. but after got to be a full‐fledged member of society here, you would have to quit being human being in modernistic means. so go back to your country or another asian shitholes as soon as you finish your rehabilitaion lessons here.

The ironic thing is that this is from some guy who thinks an adult watching cartoons and buying dolls is more normal than a guy in his 20s getting drunk and fucking random women.
inflames wrote:I recently was at a lecture that dealt with promoting Japanese culture abroad - the guy started off by pointing out that most people aren't interested in anime or manga overseas and perceive those who are as messed up. The thing is that there is a lot of Japanese culture that could be promoted (food, stuff like kimono making and Kiyomizu yaki), but for some dumb reason the government chooses to try and promote manga.

There are also many (not all) disgruntled gaijin who hate living here - they form websites dedicated for gaijin to rant together at how much they hate Japan.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
When criticized, narcissists show themselves woefully incapable of retaining any emotional poise, or receptivity. And it really doesn't much matter whether the nature of that criticism is constructive or destructive. They just don't seem to be able to take criticism, period. At the same time, these disturbed individuals demonstrate an abnormally developed capacity to criticize others.
Although narcissists don't show it, all perceived criticism feels gravely threatening to them. Deep down, clinging desperately not simply to a positive but grandiose sense of self, they're compelled at all costs to block out any negative feedback about themselves. Their dilemma is that the rigidity of their defenses, their inability ever to let their guard down, guarantees that they'll never get what they most need, which they themselves are sadly--no, tragically--oblivious of.
To better grasp why narcissists are so ready to attack others and so unable to deal with being attacked themselves, it's useful to understand something about their childhood. People aren't born narcissistic--it's powerful environmental influences that cause them to become so.

Danny knows of the FG quite well*. From time to time the FG has generated significant link-back traffic to dannychoo.com that Danny said he noticed the FG on his traffic statistics. Several of us FGs in Tokyo bump into him at various techie functions from time to time.*He may not love the FG's spin on Japan, but he has been quite civil

Any publicity is good publicity even "fucked" publicity.

It's a smallish group in a somewhat delicate situation that can easily be upset by just one dumbfuck behaving like a bull in a china shop. I get that. But it is usually good to look at how oneself is behaving and/or being perceived at the same time.

That said, due I think to a lack of experience in relating to other cultures, the tendency here in Japan is to lump people into a tidy group and deal with them as a member of that category, rather than as individuals.

Even though I couldn't be further from them, I'd probably be happier with アメリカ人 stereotypes than 外人は。。。外人だから。。。etc.

For people like that I don't think it's a lack of exposure, but rather abject stupidity and that weird pissy etiquette thing where it's rude for me as The Guest to not accede to The Host's chosen line of stupidity. It's like a bad Face off.

That was what I was getting at...I don't unrealistically expect them to automatically know what country I'm from but after that bit of info is put on the table, the continued 海外では、外国では、外人は、外人が is a little too much to let go. You can base their social intelligence on how quickly they pick up on not so subtle hints like 「他の国の文化はよく分からないけどアメリカでは。。。」but sometimes the chosen line of stupidity is so drilled into them, it all flies over them. To be fair though, most of the non-American people I know are the ones that take the most issue with this stuff (sick of it being assumed they're American, English is their native tongue, etc.) and I can't blame em...
