Why are Japanese angry about foreign influencers acting like clowns, when they and their Asian neighbors literally helped perpetuate this culture?

[KostasKouvalis]

It's Asians you always seeing doing stupid poses in public and taking pictures and videos of EVERYTHING? Remember those Asians who got laughed at and insulted because they were filming themselves eating fast food?

And remember those Japanese who were licking the sushi?

When I was in Taiwan, Asians were taking pictures of EVERYTHING and constantly photographing themselves. They would sit in the middle of the road and pose for pictures. So tourists going to those countries were seeing everyone do this, so they felt comfortable doing these things too.

Tik Tok, where these things are being done was invented by CHINA for goodness sakes! Since the complaints are specifically coming from Japan, I posted examples from Japan, it's ALL Asian people. They themselves created an environment in which this kind of influencing became normal and acceptable, and now they're complaining that foreigners are doing it!

[alice55]

Easy the one that complain about it are simply racist that use any excuse to justify their behavior.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, especially considering the Tik Toker they showed is black

[alice55]

It doesn't surprise though I've seen lots of video like that and also of Japanese people trying to pick a fight with foreigner or just outright slapping / punching them in public for no reasons. Like a girl was eating in a bus because she need sugar for her health every fews hours and a woman scream and hit her...
Some people are just full on racist and mean swell as hypocrite but in Japan hypocrisy is quite the first sport to be honest.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know, trust me, I know. And that shit pisses me off, especially since they wouldn't say anything if it was one of their own
Only person who should say something is the driver. I hate when people don't mind their own business.
There have been even worse incidents than that.
It really IS. I've lost all respect for them, honestly.

[KostasKouvalis]

I saw video where a Japanese guy tried to push a British guy off the subway for drinking coffee.

I saw a video where a group of Chinese started harassing someone in the UK because he was filming his friend playing the piano and the Chinese were in the shot and they started screaming at them that they can't film them because they work for television, when Chinese literally go into people's yards and take pictures. Then the lady and guy started screaming not to touch her and the guy wasn't even doing anything.
I will never go to any of these countries. These people are all crazy!

[alice55]

The only Japanese people that complain about Japanese people are the one overseas lots of Japanese people in France kind of "hate" on their country and their citizen because they're fed up with them (reasons why they left in the first place.)

if it was in France the driver would have said nothing if not he would have gotten beaten to death.
yes
That's what they call tatemae which is just a different words for hypocrisy, it's pretty practicable if you go for 1 week as a tourist but I feel sorry but any person going to live there they're going to think people are their friends while not.
One of my previous boss was like that all smiling but extremely passive agressive and destroyed me and insulted me to my teacher behind my back while being all smile all the time... It was during an internship while I was only 15.

[KostasKouvalis]

That's quite common with a lot of nationalities actually.
😳
Yeah. I've noticed that Europeans usually mind their own business. Sometimes a leftist might defend a minority.
Yeah, those people are incredibly naive. They always end up leaving or befriending other foreigners.
😲 Why would he do that?

[KostasKouvalis]

Between Japan and Nigeria.. where would you rather live? ↗

[alice55]

I think we saw the same one I saw it too what I find crazy is that pushing people is ilegal like he could get in trouble with the police for it but drinking is not illegal (like there's signs saying please don't do this but is it in now way shape or form illegal).

This actually surprise me Chinese people love to film everything and they're not reputed for being on their best behavior overseas (though all the Chinese tourist I saw all always been nice and polite).

I still want to go in those countries though even after all this XD
China is a really beautiful county, like they have a really rich history, the landscape are beautiful (Vietnamese landscape are extremely beautiful too) and Japan have also beautiful landscape, castle, kimono, their old town are very pretty, etc...
To be honest you have fews chance of being agressed there (in general most people say that have neither been meet with aggressiveness this is because of the whole tatemae stuff but if your'e unlucky yea it would really suck especially since is it illegal to fight back).

[alice55]

French do it too like they go overseas and complain about France but they go to extremely poor countries treating the locals like trash, not speaking one words of their language and acting like kind. Those really disgust me, they also live the French ways and vote conservative (for some reasons since they hate their country so much and are immigrant).
It depend on the person but in general yes they don't care about what others people do like they might stare but that's about it.
And actually that kinda a rule here that our police give us is to never help and call police as is it too dangerous to do so since we're not trained for it.
Did you know that majority of French people overseas actually marry French people XD
Like I love travel emission and so many French went to work in Australia and quebec and every time they get married to a French person they meet there (which is quite ironic as people who leave France always hate on it yet overseas they always marry their own people), they also always eat French food and live the French ways, a lot also work for French boss in French company.

It was a woman and she was just a full on bitch my mother always said she's not surprised as the woman was an Arab XD

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah. Even locals were writing in the comments the British guy didn't do anything wrong. The Japanese guy just hated foreigners.

EXACTLY!

Really? Not the ones I'VE seen😂 Except some of the younger ones. There was one in Taiwan we were surprised was so polite and he was from Beijing

REALLY? I'm surprised😲
I agree, but I don't wanna go to a place where I will be treated poorly and not feel comfortable. I do agree they're very interesting countries, but the people really ruin them. I feel you wouldn't like them either. We're at least lucky in the US that we have a lot of Asian stuff. The only one from the ones you listed that I would consider is Vietnam. I kind of wish the Great Wall wasn't in China😂
I won't lie, sometimes I DO get tempted, because they're very interesting countries, but I know I wouldn't feel good there. In China, maybe Tibet. But I dislike China even more after COVID.
But if I had a long layover in one of those countries, I would visit something.

Myanmar would be cool if it was safe and I was looking into Malaysia even. Thailand also has cool stuff, but I don't know if I'd like it. It's also dirty and they have ladyboys everywhere. I'd like to visit Ayuthaya, but in Asia mainly I'd like to see the karst islands.

There are other factors too though. I've been to Taiwan and their culture is so different so ours, except for the Christian and multicultural areas.

[KostasKouvalis]

That sounds hypocritical because the French are all about assimilation. My dad said he's happy we're getting Haitian immigrants because we have too much Spanish influence and Haitians will add some Frenchness to the country 😂

Exactly.

No, but I'm not surprised.

It's the same with Polish people. They always marry and hang out with other Polish people, so I don't know why they even bothered immigrating😂

I think that applies to a lot of nationalities honestly.
My aunt pissed me off, because I went to Greece with her and she only wanted to eat Polish food and hang out around Polish people😂 Though the food, I think was mainly because the Polish food in the hotel was free.
And when my grandma lived with us briefly she complained that there are no Corpus Christi processions😂

Oh it was an Arab woman? I'm honestly not surprised. I feel Whites shouldn't work for those kinds of people.

[alice55]

Yes totally that he hated them for some weird reasons.
Yes for some reason all the Chinese tourist I saw were all well behaved XD
when I first heard of people hating on them I was confused until I saw some pictures.
Yes in America you have lots of Chinatown and this kind of place which look pretty cool, I watched so many American movies that had scene in Chinatown and Chinese restaurant it looked so cool
like the architecture, dress / clothes, decorations (lanterns, dragon, window, etc..).
I think China are pretty cool with tourist as lately they're trying to get more tourist and be viewed in a good way.
I'm not even comfortable when I go out to go to a big city in my country as people look crazy there XD (like the number of girls I see with too much make up and acting trashy is crazy in the fashion part of the big city, they traumatise me as they're the kind that used to bully me in high school).
More than likely if I travel I would only go to European counties as i don't need passport neither visa.
Thailand there's so much gross tourist and prostitute I'm not sure it would be fun to visit especially since outside of big city if you don't speak Thai it would be quite difficult.
To what I heard Taiwan is a mix of China and Japan.
Malaysia is Muslim not a good idea.

[alice55]

Yes especially since the one that go away are the most racist one, they always go on a rant about how Arab don't assimilate then go become immigrant in another country and do the exact same things as Arab do in our countries. They got some screw lose XD
I'm not sure they would bring that much Frenchness to be honest XD
But great to know he prefer French ^^

Some people just like to complicate things I guess XD
Why did they even bother to move then they should have spend all holliday in Poland XD

Yes I was literally one of the only French there, we're were two in the whole company all the other were foreigner... And they were proud to be foreigner they always bad mouthed French people (except one portuguese girl that was nice).

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah there are certain cities I won't go to anymore because they've become so bad. I only went to downtown Portland recently because there was a garden there that's one of only 3 authentic Chinese gardens outside of China, I wanted to see. But all the news reports about Portland are true.
Yeah, especially the liberal cities have always had a bunch of weirdos. Yeah, big cities can be quite chaotic and intimidating. But sometimes they are difficult to avoid. I told myself after Rome I won't go to a big city again but always end up in them, because they are the best connected. Merida, MX was chaotic, but in Panama we stayed outside the city center so it wasn't so bad.

Yeah. For now European countries would probably be best option. I want us to go together.

Exactly.

Yeah. It kind of was.

I know, but they aren't that radical, but I heard they don't like foreigners that much either. I never had any interest in it but wanted to look at a less touristy place, but I guess there's nothing really there that you can't see elsewhere. Indonesia is interesting, but I heard the Muslims there hate Americans. Though there are a few Muslim countries I would consider, because they're very interesting. They do intimidate me though. But Turkey wasn't bad.

[KostasKouvalis]

I think he was being sarcastic, but he does, yes.

Bragging rights.
My grandma though is a different story

I know. Those people always think so highly of themselves.
I think you told me about her. Why did you go there? And if I was that lady, I would've felt so awkward.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Why? Because the japanese don't want a bunch of foreign assholes ruining their country.

[KostasKouvalis]

Did you not read anything I said?

[KostasKouvalis]

Or watch the videos?
They helped popularize these kinds of things

[seeyounexttuesday]

And you need to read what I wrote

[KostasKouvalis]

I DID! But don't you think that makes them hypocrites if they're doing the same kind of stuff?
That's the point I'm trying to make.

[seeyounexttuesday]

oh well.
