It's all cosplay. It would be foolish to think those were real soldiers
>>
>>28466649
its not necessarily that theyre weird its just their own culture
>>
>>28466668
American soldiers surrendering to Japanese maiden
>>
residual radiation from the bombs has affected their brains

>culture

It's just people having fun. Not everything someone does involves their culture
>>
>>28466649

Its so strange for such a rigid society based on face and standing has such a high tolerance for weird loser bullshit compared to the "bee ur self" west who comes down hard on nerd freakness
>>
Honestly that US soldier watches anime and is paying homage to that girls cosplay.


Who /apex genius/ here

Doesn't seem likely that American soldiers would be strolling around in a Japanese city in combat gear and carrying assault rifles with magazines attached.

>Cirno femdom
I want this to happen to me
>>
I went there and it was really nice. Though yeah, I had a few weird experiences.
>>
>>28466649

it's not. It only seems weird to foreigners because they only time they hear about Japan is when there's some picture/video that makes them go HMMMMMM. Florida isn't weird. Florida isn't constantly overrun by tornadoes.

Weird picture of something happening in Japan = WHY IS JAPAN SO FREAKING WEIRD?

Weird picture of something happening in America = Why are these people so weird?
>>
But the soldier with his face showing is clearly asian

nuclear radiation

>>28466649

They're not. They have a kind of strict society. They let off steam with some weirdness on the side.

If this is your definition of weird you must be a serious normalfag.

You aren't actually defending jews cutting little boy dicks are you? It is an inhumane act

Was this pic taken in Akiba? It looks like Akiba.

Those aren't actual soldiers. Look at the flags on the uniforms, dumbass

I didn't look closely enough :(

>>28466668
japanese airsofters who get too much NEETbux go to whatever shopping district is known for cosplay and take a picture with a Cirno cosplayer
>>
Just read some traditional Japanese literature (pre-war, mostly) and you'll understand.

Their culture simply does not mix well with Western culture. As it was eventually forced to, this simply created a weird combination that expressed itself in odd ways.
>>
Culture. Don't be so judgemental. Every culture is foreign to other ones.
>>
>>28467557
People cosplay in america too. Dressing up in costumes isn't Japan specific
>>
>>28468375
It mixes perfectly fine. They modernized in record time after the country was forced open, instantly reinvented themselves after losing the war, and went on to develop things like manga, anime, video games, consumer electronics and J-pop. And now they celebrate Christmas by eating at KFC.
>>
>>28468436
Yeah but in America most people only cosplay at cons or just to take photos of themselves. In Japan they have legit cosplay cafes and people cosplaying to advertise stuff in Akiba, which is what I assume the girl was doing before this photo was taken.
>>
>>28466684
There's lots of weeaboos in the US army though
>>
>>28466922
No culture, no fun
>>
>>28468497
That's mostly because Japan made it. America generally doesn't like foreign things that wasn't already Americanized first.
>>
>>28466684
>Gun is faced down with hand off the trigger

Looks legit to me.
>>
>>28468806
*finger, not hand
>>
>>28468806
That's still done in cosplay. The US patch makes me think it's real
>>
Hyper-modernization in the 50s
>>
>>28468806
The Japanese are very anal about trigger discipline, even in the most inconsequential and incidental stuff imaginable, like an anime character holding a water pistol. I've always found it very odd that they are that way in a country where virtually nobody owns firearms, whereas Americans are very bad about trigger discipline in movies and such.

>people ITT think soldiers would be patrolling the streets of Japan in full combat gear

are you people FUCKING RETARDED?

it's japan, not afghanistan
