Why is Japanese culture so revolved around childish, immature and 'cutesy' things, like young girls and cartoons and things of this nature?
>>61518915
I'm really sorry
We all feel shame on this shit culture
If you don't mind please delete this thread

Because a japanese person's greatest fantasy is to after a long day of work come home to a thirteen year old who knows how to nasty.
>>61518915
also
GIANT ROBOTS
>>61518915
There is no biological reason why a culture should revolve around cute young girls, right?
>>61519931
00 was breddy gud
>>61518915
Because japs an weebs like that shit
Why do japs keep using male slavic names for female protagonists in manga? Iliya, Sanya, Vitaly, Alyosha
Is it true they are physically unable to use a dictionary? Is it a side effect of radiation?
>>61519931
giant robots did nuffin wrong
Babymetal has a bigger fanbase outside of Japan than over there. Furthermore, if you live in Japan you don't really notice lots of that anime, childish shit at all except if you go to Akiba or Nakano Broadway. It is really much more hyped in the west than in Japan. "Otaku" in Japan is more an insult while in the west it is something people are proud of to be otaku. Also at least 50% of people in Akihabara are fat Americans, wearing anime shirts. Spend some years in Tokyo.
>>61520045
Because your male names sound female.
You're all a bunch of twinks.
>>61520045
I though it was american thing, at least in porn, from what I saw.
My theory is because lots of these names ends with "a" which is typical for female names, at least in my language.
>>61518915
>baby metal
>immature
wow dude, i'm so impressed by your precociousness
>>61520045
Sanya is also male name!?Skinhead,sitting with crapping style,in the stair entrance of commieblock with Addidas,name Sanya!?
>>61520328
>My theory is because lots of these names ends with "a" which is typical for female names, at least in my language.
Well, most of the Russian male names that end in 'a' are diminutives. E.g. Alexander > Sasha, Vladimir > Vova, etc. It makes sense that a diminutive sounds cutesy
>>61520522
Sanya is a diminutive of Aleksandr. Other forms include Sasha, Shura, Sashko, Lesya.
>>61520636
>Lesya
Scratch that, Lesya is a female name.
>>61518915
Japs are too autistic to detect contrivance.
Everyone else worldwide finds this shit to be cringe inducing. The terrible acting is almost physically painful to watch. To them? It's like asking the blind to see. They just don't get it.
>>61519974
Second season was shit. 1st was bretty guud.
>>61518915
That is just some subculture of loser virgins in japan. Not japanese culture.
Also who doesnt fantasize about having little girl to urself
>>61521103
>That is just some subculture of loser virgins in japan.
Bullshit. Idol garbage is entirely mainstream in Japan. 100%.
>>61520866
>contrivance
you could just artificiality
>>61521343

>>61521302
And mainstream media here is following clown celebrities like the Kardashians. Pick your poison.
>>61520134
westerners design the best looking mechs senpai
>>61521484
japanese mechs with fingers, swords, and crazy jet packs are shit imo.
battletech best tech
I know chinese that like babymetal and anime, but hate Japan
why is this?
i dont know, but i think japans sucks generaly, i wouldnt miss it if disapears.
>>61521598
Where would we shitpost then
>>61518915
At first in fact.
Japanese oldest story is "Take tori monogatari" which means tales of bamboo cutter.
This main character is little girl called Kaguya.
Old Bamboo cutter found her in Bamboo and said "How Kawaii she is! I'll bring her up."
>>61521484
>"westerners"
?? how about just americans. i don't know many non-american and non-japanese scifi mechs. and yes japanese mechs are toy garbage, your picture however is generic garbage
you're a weeb with your loaded language, comparing half the world against one single country
>>61521484
Ravens are recon mechs, not fighters. This is why the Inner Sphere is shit.
>>61520045
Lots of your names sound feminine.
>>61521566
Chinese people are brainwashed by their government.
>>61521689
Utsukushii means beautiful now but 1500 years ago, Utsukushii meant both cute and beautiful.
In fact, Japanese thought cute and beautiful were same or similar then.
>1994
>>61520045
Maybe they wouldn't do it if you didn't name your boys with sissy names :^)
>>61521343
One can be artificial without giving an appearance of contrivance. I picked the right word for the job.
>>61522000
what is this
>>61521704
all of those mechs in the picture were designed in canada,so shut up
>>61518915
Because us allies in ww2 nuked them and the radiation fucked them up even further and now we have this tiny perverted anime nation. No one could have forseen this
>>61522385
Not really. Contrivance in a general sense refers to a narrative device that produces a feeling of artificiality The specific meaning is circumstantial. Something can be contrived because it's forced, or complex, or grotesque, or whatever. Just using contrivance without context is awkward.
>>61521484
Western mechs are super generic and boring desu.
>>61520866
>it's different so therefore it's terrible
edgy teen detected
>>61522702
No?
>>61522794
Western mechs literally arr rook same which is ironic considering that's an Asian stereotype.
>>61522873
I like all mechs, but you don't know what you're talking about.
Why is it that Japanese biggest current "cultural" exports is anime, manga and j-pop?
Why doesn't Japanese movies, other music or literature get more attention?
>>61522649
>us allies in ww2 nuked them
Suddenly everybody else wants credit for that..?
>>61520167
thread should've ended here tb h
anime and other childish shit is a niche market in japan, and a bigger one everywhere else
>>61520167
>>61523110
Anime like Conan is super popular and gets milked for films every year with normies
If you consider anime to be nothing but lolicon and weird scat doujins then yes you will only find it in akihabara
>>61522928
You're pretty delusional then senpai, western mechs have little to no originality compared to Japanese mechs.
>>61523110
It's not niche at all though, everyone's read manga or watched anime, especially the popular stuff.
>>61519931
But that's cool.
>>61522962
>Why doesn't Japanese movies...
1. Japanese acting is very affected, it makes me uncomfortable.
2. Japs are terrible writers.
>>61522962
People don't like reading subtitles so only stuff that's easily localised is taken over, anime, books, etc.
>>61523575
Name some japanese movies you've seen and are applying these criticisms to
>>61523351
Then provide examples, aspie. I can give you plenty of Battletech mechs that look nothing alike.
Atlas, Great Turtle, Goliath, Nova Cat, Catapult, Ares, LAM, Hollander, Locust, Jagermech, and so on.
>>61523714
i think only cringeworthy ones are usually overly dramatic and patriotic movies with shoddy actors,that WW2 Yamato-movie was almost unwatchable,it had a high school movie club tier acting
oh and koreans and japs usually make the best horror movies
>>61522962
Extreme lethargy and spiritual emptiness of the post-war generation, they buckled under capitalism.
>>61523401
>>61523796
Pic related is obviously the best mech ever produced though
>>61523796
>LAM
This is literally ripped straight from Macross, great originality.
>>61523991
Lol, you think that's the only one? Japanese and western mech designs have borrowed designs from each other for decades.

Why is American culture so revolved around aggressive, immature and 'manly' things, like guns and pickup trucks and things of this nature?
>>61523945
>>61524247
it's too bad every man you had got killed in ww2
pic related is you
>>61524310
Wouldn't real men be attracted to cute things since it triggers their paternal instincts?
>>61524310
This. I feel guilty for this germancuck.
>>61524310
It's funny because you''ve posted someone who compensates with a huge beard in order to justify compensating with a huge truck.
can you idiots stop trying to elevate pop junk into something serious. just consume it for what it is
>>61522794
battletech uses mech designs from robotech
>>61518915
better than drugs and violence, so we don't care it.
>>61524340
Cute doesn't pay the bills or stimulate the mind. Real men want women with careers and college degrees.
>>61522655
The context is entirely artistic. The term is specifically being applied to the subject of the thread, Japanese Idol groups, appearing not honestly cute but palpably fake. Contrived, if you will.
>>61524536
And I'm sure those strong independent women would love someone who shitposts on 4chan when they should be working.
>>61524628
Okay, well it makes more sense now that you've provided context.
>>61518915
That's because Japanese way of life is just so cruel and harsh. They need cute and relaxing things to give them a way of a sort of escape that would prevent them from killing themselves.
The other solution is to masturbate over fucked up porn.
Either way, it makes their mind stable and makes them useful a little longer more.
King Henry V did the same thing with his knights. He ordered the back of their shields to have paintings of flowers, birds, little girls and other cute things as a way of increasing morale.
A man's life is hard. A few teaspoons of sugar can make all the difference
>>61524536
>Cute doesn't pay the bills or stimulate the mind
Cat memes say otherwise
>>61524633
>He doesnt have a job that lets him shitpost at work

There are various types of show business in Japan.
Western media picks up only a part of them.
>>61525780
I wish western media would pick up on other parts. Shit is interesting.
Honestly I wish dutch tv would broadcast 80's and 90's anime again.
>>61525780
why does every japanese tv show have a little box showing someone's reaction to watching it?
>>61522962
when the fuck are foreign movies/music/literature ever mainstream in the anglosphere? I know the average plen in my country isn't going to be able to name movies, music and books that aren't hollywood/american radio music/game of thrones or harry potter.
Anime shit got attention because it was literally 1000 times better than western cartoons in the 90s, so it was popular with kids.
There's more than plenty good Japanese music, film and literature from the 20th century if you do 2 seconds of searching.
>>61525984
THIS!!
What is up with that
and then text everywhere!
>>61521793
Or maybe it's because Japanese are historically complete assholes to Chinese?
>>61526337
chang please. It was one little massacre! Dont tell me your people hasnt had their fair share.

Slav males are the most feminine of course. Their true position in life is to be using their skinny bodies to please the Eternal Anglo.
