This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I miss Japan's public transport. Never felt like I needed a car while in the city.
Chill bud. It's possible to compliment an aspect of a society without going balls deep on the rest of it.
Not hating on the country, just on its white knight fans in the Western world
Yea I get that, plenty of weebs out there that don't want to acknowledge/don't care to learn the downsides of Japanese society.
Just working 12 hour days is enough for me to be glad I wasn't born over there. Great place to vacation though, especially since the yen is dropping so much.
It used to be just weebs, but in the last few years I’ve seen plenty of “normies” (for the lack of a better term) getting into weeb culture, I.e. travelling to Japan for a week, encountering a vending machine that has hot drinks, and from then on basically becoming Japanese ultranationalists in the way they think Japanese culture should be opposed on all others. While knowing basically nothing about it. It’s strange. Especially for an European person.
That's sorta hilarious lul. Reminds me of the ones who go visit India and are all namaste when they return.
Incidentally, I found a panty gacha machine when I went, not used panties thankfully. My girlfriend rolled and got the legendary blue stripped pantu ones.

They missed their chance, now it's the Chinese 😁
