This Japanese/France internet battle has revealed something extremely sad about the west. That these people really don’t have lives. They mo NOTHING about Japanese culture other than pointless rumors and hearsay from the internet. Anime is their gateway into Japanese culture and that’s the part where it’s hilarious, because to the Japanese fiction is fiction. From what I understand, they separate the two, heavily. Anime is just entertainment to them, it’s nots reflection into their lives or culture. We use to make fun of people like this when I lived there. We would say “Japan doesn’t come with subtitles, so learn some of language at least.” I would always get asked how I learned the train system, I would respond “by studying it.”
I find it ironic and comical, that this debacle highlighted how delusional some people in the west is. Imagine letting fiction be your guide to reality. It’s truly sad. Lol
