My point is that Japanese culture is hard to access because of the language barrier and the fact that is is so culturally different.

Many people who make claims about Japan have no right to do so due to their ignorance of the facts, that and generally nobody having the right to judge another culture, who in the intercourse has the right to claim a culture is more or less something or other, no one, thats pure intercoursing ego.

I think that is one of the things that Japanese people can find annoying about some foreigners, their will to judge and think they know better.

Your comment is a rather poor one all you’ve done is imply I am somehow being a fascist child born out of wedlock, but you’ve added nothing to the conversation.

So come at me, give me facts and proofs that show that The nail that sticks out gets hammered down is a valid way to describe Japanese people and that they have an entirely homogenized culture.

I fully expect you to reply with some lame ass comment and a link to wikipedia, this is the internet after all. And clearly you can’t stand it when there is someone who holds different ideas to you.

As I see it we stand like this.

I say, don’t judge people based on ignorance and a single stereotype.

And you say.

Don’t listen to him, stereotypes are a valid way to marginalise and de-humanise cultures and we should listen to them as valid critiques of societies based on our own judgements whether it is our place to judge them or otherwise.

Lets let people judge which of us is the biggest infertile child of a horse and a donkey, and if it is me then thats fine because I already know, if its you, then thats too bad because clearly you will never be able to look beyond your ego, think about yourself, and become a better person.
