It always surprises me how vicious some people react when confronted with Japanese pop culture (it's not only anime or the cute aspects of it). You see what you thought as normal people say things like "we should have dropped three," or "the camps were a good idea" (referencing the concentration camps in America for Japanese immigrants).
I sometimes try to understand this sudden rage and hatred at the slightest trace of anything Japanese, but I can't get my head around it. Rather than an intellectual obstacle, I fail to empathize with these feelings. To me it feels like a criminal, murderous energy seething with hatred and perhaps jealousy.

@irie Also I see this coming particularly from those who you could put into the shitlib or politically correct adjacent camp.

@irie There has always been a weird hate boner for everything Japanese (not Asian, specifically Japanese) and just like you I fail to understand where it even comes from. Queue "it appears my superiority has led to some controversy.jpeg" but with slanted eyes

In recent years Japan repeatedly placed #1 as the most popular country in the world, overtaking both Germany and the US. Yet we never see actual Japanese people brag or talk badly about other countries and cultures. If asked about the West in general, for example, one hears something neutral at worst, and insightful praise at best.
Japan also didn't set out to conquer the world with its cultural exports. Japanese people simply created what they like, did it with all their hearts, not blinded by cynicism and snark, and continue to do so still. For this crime some desire their destruction, like barbarians at the gate seething at the sight of Roman architecture.

@irie @McMongoose I think the optimistic, colorful, and pro-family aspects seen in Japanese pop culture (not all of it, but it's certainly there in a good portion of it) are offensive to miserable libs. They can't fully accept that their world project failed, that they were played and betrayed by banking elites; they despise seeing thin and healthy women that don't look like they do, and they hate to see the depiction of a complete, happy, pro-family society. It's like a vampire recoiling from a cross.

@McMongoose I've seen it so many times now I don't believe we deal with an issue of some individuals. This has a collective cultural, perhaps civilizational aspect. Something like "a certain other culture, member of the world order we rule, remains distinct, different, and successful."
In any case, this smells of hatred of the Other. An "Other" that doesn't need pity and affirmative action, but outdoes and shames the values lived in the "here". This smells like Liberalism.

@irie
Some people are forces of destruction, in the same way England always felt towards continental Europe, for example

@irie "Cute aggression" phenomena, prevalent among the usual Untermenschen (midwit non-whites, WASP fat and drunk boomers in search of validation, trannies and female e-prostitutes envious of any other male attention).

@Kerosene @irie I feel like the shitlib hate for Japs comes from the fact that the Japanese are just actually a nice and decent race. They really hate seeing any race act "successful" because they attribute not living like a nigger as "being White". They also have a nice pleasant society that many people would love to leave liberalism to go live in, which is something they can't have. If nicer non fake and gay societies exist why would any smart person want to live in a MegaLiberal nigger land?

@irie natsoc wine moms hate anime tiddies with unnatural fervor.

@zerosum @irie Reaction to the wall is eternal.
