What is it about japanese letters that makes them so cool?
aesthetics
As you can't read them you become fully aware of their form rather than function.

dumbass white person waxing poetic about eastern characters lmao
any beauty in the form itself pales in comparison when compared to its function and the significance of a character's composition

but if Japanese kids in America even have to go to calligraphy classes I think it shows that they care a lot about writing beautifully
That's Chinese.
And written awfully.

I dont see how I'm waxing poetic here, when I'm just explaining to you what makes Japanese characters appealing to the average person who can't read them. It's certainly not the beautiful meaning that compels people to buy tshirts with butchered nonsensical kanji on them.

Did you miss when the Japs imported a couple thousand Chinese characters?

I think you missed the post I was responding to, unless you're that poster. In which case idk what you're complaining about when you're talking about niggerculture.

Man... it sucks that this is a /r/streetwear fuccboi trend. I have a shirt from one of my fav Japanese restaurants with a big Jap letter on the back and I really love wearing it. Especially around the burbs stuntin on the Chinese population... no fair.
As someone who studied typography for a bit and recently finished a few workshops with a famous korean hangul calligrapher and a calligraphy lesson at a university in Tokyo, I think theres a variety of reasons why those characters are so appealing.
1. Expression and Personality (like alphabetical signatures)
2. It's been seen as art for a much longer time than english letters so more appreciation.
3. Weebs and trends
retards exoctizing
they look cool because they're different, same reason you see kids in china wearing dumbass american sayings

its been a cool thing in fuccboi fashion for the longest time they try to seem multicultural but when you ask them what it means they are like "uhh i dunno" have you ever seen those pink dolphin shirts? Its so retarded. I know you don't need to know the meaning to find it beautiful but its just wearing it for the aesthetic seems pointless
TLDR just don't wear it if you don't know what it means
