Thanks to the translate feature on Twitter, Muslims around the world seeing what Japanese really think about us.
Cw racism and self harm (in replies)
Its kinda heartwarming to see people of many languages agree this is messed up and criticizing Japanese racism

Ew! Stinky gaijin infecting my glorious nihon!!!!!!
If japanese people weren't asian, folks would be saying the same shit about them on here as they do about isn'treal and the united SStates
2nd-last or latest TrueAnon episode had a guest saying Twitter's #2 country usership after the US was Japan (still).
The crucial question is whether anti-Asian racism that's common in Japan is the animus behind this or is it Islamophobia?
Obviously there's an element of both, but which one is the dominant motivation? I mean, it can't be the islamophobia, like Japan sucks on bigotry, but importing European and Fox News-style Islamophobia is too pathetic even for them
The rest of the world is catching up to what Chinese and Korean people have known for decades. There will be more of these revelations as Western (and Western vassal) soft power recedes and the world sees them for what they really are.
In world cup twitter people were talking about a Japanese dude that tweeted "why are mexicans so happy about turists? They dont find them destructive? And it was just some turists drinking beer and celebrating and the japanese dude had like 10k likes
Ever since the start of tower of babel twitter popular opinion of the japanese has dropped because of their terrible opinions even when leftists japanese are normal the chud ones will post the wrongest opinion you can have like for example them being anti piracy
chud japanese people are some of the most delusional people i have ever seen, almost the same levels as chud indians. They have always treated really poorly any latino-japanese immgrants even though they begged and basically payed for them to return to Japan.
So it's a reflection of a society where chuds are dominant, just like here. Plus it's Twitter.
Hey man, if you wanted to continue to have your ethnostate, you should have had sex!
:shinzo-abe-shining:
you mean the country that sells CSAM cartoons in grocery stores is kind of dysfunctional and sick as a society? huh
It's almost like a bit but it's not
westoids love japan so much because it’s racist like them
People have such a romanticised view of Japan. Underneath what you and I see is a violent, horrible, brutal history and today there is little racial acceptance, it is more tolerance. They will rarely be vocal about it, but Japan is often racist place. From what I know, it is oddly the other way around in that it is the urban areas that are more racist than those who lives outside the cities.
A lot of people like that about Japan though. Just like people fawning about high conviction rates.
It is especially disappointing to see how many leftists romanticize Japan in particular and make excuses about it just because a few anime artists are somewhat left-leaning and progressive, as if artists aren't left-leaning and progressive basically anywhere and even that's somewhat underrepresented in Japan compared to their population. It's not only a conservative society, it is conservative beyond its development and income level for the most part. Just because they aren't violent about their prejudices and bigotry (usually) doesn't mean they aren't, even in big cities. They have been basically riding something similar to "alt-right" since early 2000s too.
I know for myself in a ironic twist Japan actually helped me break through the small town American propaganda I was surrounded by. My 2nd grade teacher literally told me that we were lucky to be able to choose our clothes because no where else in the world was free.
Anime and video games made me go "well... Wait if these people are not free, how are they doing this. And I started looking up stuff as I could." Then there was the fact where I was a lot of people were racist of Japan and would justify the nuke (I will warn now, I will never view a nuke as justifiable).
Now within the past few years I've learned that Japan has a huge problem. It honestly makes me sad. I can't help but feel this is still an American issue. Because the US was certainty fast in coming in after the bomb and making use of the situation. I can't help but feel that the future might of been different with a more left presence in Japan.
Regardless. The right wing fascist element is going to continue to be a big problem. I feel for the variety of people like this family that will suffer because of it.
Couldn't have said it better.
Just because they aren't violent about their prejudices and bigotry
Tapping the sign that says "ostracism, bullying, and other kinds of psychological violence are still discriminatory violence". Japanese society uses violence against anyone they deem "deviant", not to mention women or poor people, it doesn't matter they're not shooting or assaulting people.
Its the power of cool japan and soft power, people have a way better view of them than they should
People have such a romanticised view of Japan. Underneath what you and I see is a violent, horrible, brutal history and today there is little racial acceptance, it is more tolerance.
I remember reading an account of a foreigner living in Japan just seeing a yakuza goon beating a man half to death at a train station and people just walking by. No amount of anime or video games can paper over such a deep rot.
Aside from the reversal in urban and rural areas it sounds like the US south.
Jesus Christ those replies would make hitler blush. Especially funny is one of the ones saying "you usually only see the elderly out on a weekday afternoon" and I'm just thinking "Huh aren't yall going through a massive demographic collapse and aging population which should benefit from an influx of younger immigrants?"
and I'm just thinking "Huh aren't yall going through a massive demographic collapse and aging population which should benefit from an influx of younger immigrants?"
I find it funny how widespread this liberal talking point is in the online left. There's a crisis of social reproduction, capital can't keep up, because things like having children are both undesirable and economically non-viable largely due to effects of market mechanisms? Just get the people from elsewhere , easy (a nice requirement that there needs to be an economic inequality driving people to pack their bags 👀 - or as the libs say, "who will clean your toilet?"). Criticism of capital is seldom given in this context, and if any solution except for increased immigration is given, it's the welfare state.
Even countries that tried explicit natalism, like Poland, didn't really have it work out, in regards to low birth rates.
Work yourself to death it's the Japanese way.
It's the cuphead flower meme but it's Japanese pop culture then real Japanese racism.
