did you know that nudity of the breasts was not considered vulgar in Japan until the west told them it was? most of the “traditional values” that weebs fap over are actually remnants of when japan started to mimic western countries in order to appear more “civilised” to them
Guy: she didn’t say anything so I thought she was happy
Girl: I was too scared to say anything
Middle: Even if you’re a YES, if I’m a NO then it’s sexual assault
A guy I was dating said that him providing money for his future family was “raising the child” so when he came home he wanted nothing to do with the kid and I said “well ok I’d just divorce you and collect child support if I’ll be doing all the work anyway” and he was SHOOK
My mixed-Japanese friends went to kamakura today + heard a lot of “omg I can’t believe foreigners are coming here now, ugh stay away!”
“There are foreign tourists here?? scary!!!”
First off, unbelievable that ppl don’t know that tourists still aren’t allowed in
Secondly….UM??
I see a lot of “I’m white + face racism in Japan!” tweets + I understand what they’re trying to say but that’s not it.
Housing discrimination is real + terrible but if you get denied an apartment it’s because you’re foreign not because you’re white specifically. That’s Xenophobia
“Most Japanese are shy and quiet”
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄lmao ok
A thread trying to combat wrong information and stereotypes in fanfic but full of wrong information and stereotypes you hate to see it
At the shoot today they needed me to say something (anything) to this celebrity and I thought they just wanted my lips moving so I said some shit but turns out my voice is actually gonna be in it so the next episode will feature me saying “ok boomer” on Japanese tv
Like ??? Why are you surprised???? If all you’re contributing to the child that you made is money then you can do it from a different house so I don’t have to clean up after and cook for you too? Dumb bitch? Lmao?
Japan adult industry thread
A キャッチ (catch) is actually slang for the people who stand outside and grab CUSTOMERS
The people who try to scout girls lfor the night industry are called SCOUTS or スカウトマン
They scout for girls bars, kyaba, sexy kyaba and fuuzoku (adult)
gonna start defending every tiny thing in the UK like weebs do with japan, like the bus is actually freezing so that you don’t feel too hot in your winter coat when you ride it! This is the British concept of being A Bit Chilly Innit and if you don’t like it you’re racist💓
and men will be the first to cry “men aren’t wallets!!😭😭😭” but then have money be the only thing they bring to the table🤔 In this day and age, why put up with, or even choose in the first place a partner who only provides ONE form of support to the household
A Japanese book on supporting children on the autistic spectrum says that autistic kids are just like foreigners in the way they:
-Don’t understand basic manners
-Don’t get social rules
-Have a weird way of thinking
Pls be patient with them the way u would with barbaric gaijin🥺
I know Japanese seems daunting bc of the alphabets but it’s literally such a simple language to learn! You can throw words together in whatever order and it still makes sense! No genders of nouns! No tones! Switching tenses is easy as heck! Best language, 10/10🎉🎉🎉🎉
some of those girls are literally homeless and shower at Internet cafes and you think they fucking care about the twintail height of some randoms in a different country grow the fuck up lmaooooooooi
Having my heart broken by this guy on fb’s story of getting his drink spiked in shinjuku and waking up with no memories but over ¥800,000 of debt. He went to the police but they were more interested in what he did for a living and then accused him of wanting to take drugs
Me: I have a nice well paying job, good social life and happy relationship in Japan, but some things such as useless outdated banking systems and xenophobia kinda irritate me every now and again
Weeb with an unwashed ass: iF yOu HaTe JAPAN sO muCh whY doNt yOu jusT LEAVE
Every time we see a “Japanese only!!! No foreigners!!” sign and people come in like iTs pRoBaBlY bC tHeY jUsT cAnt sPeAk eNgLisH - this is a much better, infinitely less discriminatory option!
no bc I’ve said this many times before but the uk and japan are so similar in the way that they’re an island nation that think they’re separate and somehow better than the mainland continent, love to not acknowledge their imperialist crimes and unspoken social rules
So after moving to japan I get asked a LOT “why did you come to japan? Is it because you like anime?”
It’s so dumb and annoying like ??? Do I look like a fucken weeb?? 🙄🙄Obviously I came bc I finally wanted to experience the magic of having four whole seasons 😤😤😤
Not to start another “Japanese is actually easy” discourse and enrage the weebs again but kanji truly can make some things so simple. Do I know how to pronounce 耳鼻科? No. But do I know what it is immediately? Yes!
So much medical terminology is easily understood thanks to kanji
Obviously this is just my experience but the differences between customer service when I have a problem in Japan vs the UK kinda goes:
Japan: I am SO SORRY from the bottom of my heart SO SORRY!!! (problem persists)
UK: ugh *rolls eyes* *fixes problem* *goes back on phone*
Btw off the back of beckii and the cruel angel girlies, 17 year old me decided that I also wanted to sing so I emailed a random talent agency in Japan with super edited photos and it ended up w/ them flying me to Japan only to realise id catfished them and they sent my ass home😭
In the hierarchy of other gaijin, white ppl are at the top so if you’re white and complain that somebody wouldn’t rent an apartment to you, or you got stopped and searched by police please remember that your black, korean, indian and arab gaijin counterparts have it a lot worse
A fun thing about leaving japan is seeing how affective their overseas image management is. Today I mentioned the men passed out on the streets/vomit down the train platform bc of the crazy drinking culture and my boss was SHOOK
She really thought they like...didn't party? Ever?
That being said, I heard that Japanese landlords don’t like letting to Indians bc of an idea that they smell/their food smells/they’re dirty - and THAT is racism.
I think a lot of people who are into anime/cosplay/harajuku fashion/vkei and are depressed in their home country think that if they move to japan everything will be better but like you’re just gonna be depressed but in japan this time
I just woke up and there are a lot of “well when I was there the Japanese girls didn’t talk to me!” comments from males but all I can say to that is do girls in your own country want to talk to you bc maybe the common denominator is not a cultural thing, but actually you
oi oi lads😍
yesterday I visited “GREGGS” - the creator of the National Dish of England, The Sausage Roll™ 🌈✨💕
Greggs was founded by Elton John, who named it after his pet iguana Gregg🥰Sausage rolls can be eaten in any season (there are 4!😱) and each Brit has a daily quota!
I always loved how Japanese people would abbreviate ANYTHING, like アタオカ or ズッ友 but today a girl came into the cafe I work at and asked if our toilet was “jenny noots” (she meant “gender neutral”) and I realised that the British may be too strong😔
Whenever I speak and someone says omg ur hatsuon is so umai there’s this guy on tsuitta- called dōgen who’s hatsuon is ALSO umai have you heard of him??
Why yes I have kiita
Me: ugh healthcare in Japan is so expensive why do I have to pay every month then STILL pay when I go to the doctor
Americans: a-hyUCK WELL iTs bEtTeR tHaN tHe usa🤪
...
I don’t care!!!!!!! I don’t!!!!!!!!! Fucking!!!!!!!!CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!about your 3rd world country!!!!!!
A guy I was messaging with last year suddenly dropped off the face of the earth and I figured he ghosted me but turns out he was arrested and has been held without trial for the last ELEVEN MONTHS😭😭
J-police can arrest, detain and re-arrest on suspicion of different things-
Like once a month I see a post on Japan “expat” fb pages like hi I’m moving to Japan with my two 11 + 15 year old kids who don’t speak a word of Japanese but I want to put them in a regular local school!
why do you want to traumatise your child and ruin their academic future?😐
you are a foreign female living in Tokyo. You check your Instagram message requests. TakeshiCamera1987 has DM’d you. I’m a Japanese photographer, he says. Let’s collab! He says. You check his page. It’s just a bunch of white girls in lingerie in dirty bathtubs or parking lots
People in the uk asking me what its like to live in Tokyo, it must’ve been so glamorous and exciting but it’s hard to explain that there comes a time in every gaijins life where the most riveting thing is scuttling to the combini at 2am in ur jammies to buy a seasonal Haagen Dazs
Yes white people are not the majority in Japan, they don’t hold many of any positions of power in the government, law enforcement or military - I’m sure they do face *some* descrimination. However it is not because they are white, it’s literally just because they’re not Japanese.
@jaevmxrk
@kyoongfairy
Really confused by the other replies but I thought it was public knowledge that Izone was rigged and the lineup was decided by companies at the beginning
When I was a young weeb trying to learn Japanese, there weren’t many resources and my small town didn’t have any classes so my mum found a random Japanese lady who was here learning English and she came over once a week, ate dinner with us and we’d do language exchange
For a “respectful” country, I really noticed the lack of thanking service workers in Japan - I even saw a viral tweet once likening it to “thanking a vending machine”
So moving to this town in the UK and everyone saying thank you to the bus driver as they get off is rly nice🥹
Checked my Facebook memories and today is 10 years exactly since my first stalker experience in Japan
He forced his way into my apartment but ran away when I confronted (ran directly at him holding a big shampoo bottle) him and the police told me it was bc I’m cute so shouganai
I’m not saying that bc other people have it worse you’re not allowed to feel upset or outraged but I am saying that understanding that others are worse off makes you understand your privilege and hopefully should motivate you to try to make the world a better place for everyone
Which is really upsetting bc one of the things I liked about jirai:subcul is how grotty the hair and make up is sometimes like terrrriibbleeee eyeliner, messy lipstick, dirty clothes from sitting on the ground, whole hair extenussies fully on show it was raw and ok to be a mess!!
I feel like the jfashion community really doesn’t talk enough about the insane pressure to always look perfect and how much it can affect your mental health tbh
It’s so weird that if anything critical about japan is ever discussed, some a-hyucking am*rican needs to insert their backwards ass country like “well AT LEAST you’re not getting SHOT at SCHOOL” like babes that is the bare minimum!!!!! The US is not the standard here! Begone!
Now the borders are open again a lot of new and possibly naive foreigners and going to be entering japan. It might be statistically safer than a lot of other countries but crime still happens and police are notoriously useless so everyone please please be careful and alert😭😭
At my new job 70% staff/almost all managers are gaijin and it gave me reverse cultureshock when they said not to post shit in the group LINE bc we dont interrupt coworkers in their private time; all work messages should be sent on Slack
…respecting workers’ privacy…in japan..?
Made a positive tweet that I meant to come off as “japanese seems scary but there are many simple components! it’s not so bad!” but I just got a bunch of bitter weebs screeing NO ITS SO HARD BC OF XX
this is my origin story I’m never making a positive tweet again😤🔪
oi oi lads😍😍I went to London for two days! (The “British people” pronounce it “landaaan” haha how KAWAII!💖✨)
This is Big Ben - named after the founder of London, Benedict Cumberbatch😳🎀 brits are NEVER LATE; this all-seeing eye keeps brits punctual, on penalty of death!🙀😻
Actual japanese lgbt+ community: hello government pls give us rights and protections
Random fucking foreigners on twitter dot com: WESTERN LIBERALS are FORCING their WESTERN LIBERAL IDEALS ON PERFECT UNTOUCHABLE GLORIOUS JAPAN
Translation of the captions:
1) “People thought we couldn’t understand Japanese and said stuff like “ugh there are foreign tourists here, don’t fucken come here during the pandemic” and a war almost broke out in kamakura today”
some of y’all will be like “why does god send me his toughest battles😔😔😔” and the battle will literally just be Making The Bare Minimum Effort To Learn The Language Of The Country You Decided To Move To
oi oi lads✨(that’s british for “hello”)🥰💕🌈
today I had a “cheeky nandos” 🧚🏽♀️💖✨😍this amazing traditional british eatery,😍🎀 opened by queen elizabeth herself in 1898, is one of the most “bangin” restaurants in the british isles, loved by brits and foreigners alike!💖🎀✨🌈
bringing your body temperature up and down so many times is unhealthy!! They keep the bus the same temperature as outside for YOUR benefit!!!! If you can’t understand that you’re ignorant, i in fact am an expert of British culture bc I watched the Paddington bear movie so ?????
They literally do not want us!!!!😭😭😭 idk if it’s different for biracial idols but the foreign girlies have to fight tooth and nail to get into groups just to be one of the least popular members bc they don’t fit the image or some other prejudice fans have
Wait, overseas idol fans think being a foreigner is an advantage as an idol in Japan??? LMAO NOT IN THE LEAST The number of auditions I got turned down from specifically because of that(and was told to my face that’s the reason) Real life isn’t Love Live y’all 😭
I know I’ve mentioned this before and not to sound too guillotiney but every time there’s an argument about the royal family ppl always bring up how much tourism they generate but france has one of the best tourism industries in the world and look what they did to their royals
Words in Japanese that make me mad
蛆(uji) why tf the word for maggot SO CUTE SOUNDING
喉ちんこ(nodochinko) the word for the dangly thing in the back of your throat is called a throat dick and that’s just how it is!???Moreover IT WORKS SO WELL. THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. BUT EW
love it when random gaijin who don’t and have never lived in Japan think they can dictate Japanese fashion based off Google translate and their n7 Japanese
“oh noooo the manga with the premise of a grown ass doctor who lowkey wants to fuck his teenage patient gets reincarnated as the child of the teenage idol he also kinda wants to fuck got weird and gross” 🤡🎡🤹🏼♀️🎪🎡
Shinkansen is leaving a whole TWO MINUTES late and no one has come down the train personally begging for my forgiveness and offering to flick my bean in apology I can’t believe the internet would lie to me like that ?????
Japanese comments on Johnny Kitagawa death article: RIP a true artist, thank you for giving me all my beautiful idols!
English comments: ding dong the pedo is dead
When I was 19 I dated a 35 year old. My mum must’ve wanted him DEAD but bc she acted supportive I felt safer telling her the stuff he put me through+ ended up leaving with her help. I was too humiliated to open up to others who had “warned” me about him for fear of I told you so
If my 18yr old daughter came home with a 32 year old, I’m going to take the aluminum bat from under my pillow and I’m beating his ass back to 1991. because - why the fuck couldn’t you find someone your own age, manipulative bitch.
In places where sex work is illegal, it’s harder to get help if you’ve been coerced because you become a criminal. If sex work is legal it becomes more safe. Demonising the sex industry is not only stripping people of their agency to choose but also threatening their safety

If all you’re going to contribute is money and be absent otherwise, you go live with a different woman and just send that cheque every month
Ok…clerks at immigration in japan; one of the most bureaucratically anal countries in the world….praised ME for how thorough I was in preparing and presenting my documents 👁️👄👁️
Am I…..the Alpha Gaijin????
“sex tourism” usually includes an exchange of money and a power imbalance
If she lives in Asia, she’s gonna be hooking up with Asians bc that’s the demographic. That being said - if it IS a fetish, those men fetishise the shit out of white girls too let them have eachother tbh😭
Guys I need you to know how difficult this girl made my job. Like she was literally so smart?? The directors kept telling me to mislead her or use weirder English so she didn’t get it, but she literally understood EVERYTHING. She was such an angel and I really fell for her 🥺💕
