/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Friggin chinks invading my board.
I can't illuminate you with my glorious culture if you are not a pure blooded aryan.

>>11616361

>Do you guys think it's stereotypical and ridiculous or lovable and creative, or both?

If the Japanese admire some old European styles and themes, then I can only feel flattered.

>>11616361
Does anyone have that Kuroshitsuji picture at the bottom? It looks good.

>>11616394
Why?
Your weeboo ass didn't do anything to contribute to that culture.

>>11616361
I dunno.

Chinese guy:
How do you feel about the Japanese imitation of your architecture? Among other parts of your culture?

>>11616361
>How do you feel about the Japanese imitation of Classic European art style?

I think it's cute how they do it.


When it comes to music they tend to "steal" a lot,it's true. Not only in anime,vn and stuff but all music.

I dont think much at all about it, to me that is normal so I never thought much to notice it. I think its stranger for them since it would look out of place, like if someone build a japanese building here, it would look very strange. I've never seen a building in anime and thought «hey they took that from us!»

For clothes, the frilly stuff is as much of a costume to me as it is for them.

Really specific stuff gets me like the cross of santiago on this guy's coat though.

Having lived in Japan for a while I start wanting to live in Europe because of how well it's portrayed in the media here but then I remember how awful it was having to put up with Westerners when I lived there.

I want there to be a country with a mix of western European tradition and Japanese modern culture. The population would be a spectrum of westerners, halfs and Japanese people.

Read up on reproduction and inheritance.

>>11616361
just a bit of advice for next time, OP:
1. Don't use PNG format for photographic images
2. try not to resize images in Microsoft Paint by dragging the corners. Go to the image properties, and change the percentages from there. Then, copy and paste the resized image onto your larger canvas.

>>11616423
I personally think that they are doing a great job to interpret our culture in a fancy way. Our culture are similar so the imitation somehow works well without twisting a lot of our origin. And this is why I came here to ask if you guys feel the same as I do

>>11616579
And actually when I posted this on /int/, the folks there seems don't really like it

I feel flattered in a way, and I tend to like their interpretations of our culture. At a time when European culture is obsessed with wallowing in self-hatred to tue point of actively replacing Europe's indigenous population with Muslims and Blacks, it's nice to hear a positive voice from the outside.

Epic paranoia, would redirect to /pol/ again.

My country loves japan and japan loves my country.

>>11616780
You're either non-white or brainwashed.

>>11616780
That's actually another interesting thing about Japan's relation with Europe. The Japanese people I talk to tend to have a much better understanding of the immigration issue over here than the natives. I already grew up as an ethnic minority (back in school, usually only around 5 kids out of 30 were ethnic Germans) so it has always been pretty clear to me that we will meet the same fate as Kosovo if current trends continue. But people with well-moneyed parents who grew up in sheltered nearly all-white neighborhoods tend to be absolutely clueless and regard me as some sort of conspiracy theorist.

also dont bitch about japanese being westernised when eurpeans and americans forcefully westernised it

>>11616780
>>>/v/

It's interesting to see how insightful the Japanese can be about the history and society of my country, sometimes more than my own countrymen.

I mean, Umineko was one of the few works of fiction where the resistance force against the allies in WW2 wasn't portrayed as a bunch of brutal criminals.

Japan made me a Germanboo

ITT whites think they're japanese and chinese think they're white

It feels good. I love European fashion. Good that Japan continue bother yourself about beauty.

>>11616799

The poorfag classes are full of muzzies and blacks, the vast majority of germans is still white though.


The US already has less white babies being born than black/hispanic ones. Does that upset you?

Europe copied Japanese art back in the late 1800s. It helped start modernism.

>>11616361
It is lovable and creative~!

>>11616799
Hilfe, die Deutschen sterben aus!

>>11616361
How is any of what you mentioned fine art?
Appliquéing sequins to a purse does not make it "art," sorry. The closest thing you mentioned to "art" might be the music, and even then Chinese-americans do classical better than you guys do these days.

>>11617138
Breaking headline from idiot anon: music isn't art, it's just close.

>>11617179
OP isn't chinese, dude, he's german.

>>11616799
Chinese are the blacks of Asia and have no right to say anything about anything.

>>11617206
Those are flips, doofus.

Know your minorities' eastern counterparts before you talk shit.

>>11617206
hmm, that could be fun. I mean, there sure are a lot of 'em.

>>11617210
flips are the Mexicans.

>>11617242
Wait, aren't the mexicans the mexicans? Do they turn into these "flips" when you move them overseas? (and do they flip around?)

>>11616394

>>11616930
But don't you feel like they are twisting your cultures at all? I study in USA so I see clearly
how weird they portrait the Americans in anime.
>>11617138
Wait, I thought building was a type of art
>>11617204
I am of Chinese! Diaoyu island belongs to China! (to be honest I dont care)

So you are the jews, thanks for clearing that up.

>>11617319
>Jews
This one's closer. Thanks.

>>11616799
What? Did any of you actually read the trash this article is spewing out? Sorry for going offtopic and greentexting but...
>Black people deserve special attention...their physical characteristics are greater but mental abilities are weaker
>blacks looking for women everywhere is also a form of threat
>...introduction of male-descended genes is a big taboo
>Chinese people doing busines in America will always be accosted by blacks


Anyways... Yes imitation is a form of flattery, but I think it is more of the usual stereotyping the japs like to do. Not that other countries don't do the same though.

>>11616361
Is it so puzzling for a Chinese person that cultures borrow from each other? We Europeans have been doing it for centuries.

>>11617620
But you burrow stuffs within Europe. Which we too have been doing it for thousands of years in Asia. But it's a different thing when you borrow or imitate things from a totally different cultures. I've seen a several American directed Chinese Kungfu movies and it feels like a total mess. But it seems that the Japanese are doing it much better when they borrow from the European culture. But I'm neither European or Japanese, this is why I want to know how do you really view it.
Sorry for not making it clear, my actual question is that do you guys think they are creating some European works, or just something Japanese works, which seem exotic to you?

MUH CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!

Europoor here..
It makes me feel embarrassed that Japan can produce better western art than the west can.
Europe is just a poor imitation of modern America now.

I'm Japanese and sincerly admit that
old Jap buildings,paintings,music: Chinese
19~20th major buildings: European
modern buildings: American

But, it is good that Japs have made much of old Chinese culture.
eg) gagaku

>>11616799
Das liegt daran dass wir Patriotismus mit Nationalismus gleichsetzen und darum komplett ohne aufwachsen. Als Resultat haben wir Späße wie Berlin Kreuzberg und einen Haufen Gutmenschen die genau wie Nazis zu allem ja sagen was ihrer Ideologie von Übertoleranz ihnen vorschreibt ohne einmal etwas kritisch in Frage zu stellen weil man dann selbst in die Kritik gerät. Und damit man kein falsches Bild von meiner Meinung bekommt, ich finde die links autonomen Clowns genauso erbärmlich wie die Rechten. Wer hat heute noch ein gesundes Weltbild?

>>11619442
You are NOT poor, just lazy sneaky and ingrown as a culture. Also a buncha plagiarists.
Quit brewing booze and invent some shit.

>>11616361
I feel like for westerners the influences in culture are always between europe and america. No matter if it's media, politics or whatever. We have nothing to do with asia. Maybe they are more interested in us than we are in them. I don't count our weeb-cult into it, just the general interest.

I loved the way umineko portrayed that style. So, as an european, I don't mind at all.

>>11616361
What I say is that they're beating Europe in this ascpect. No one is still creating beautiful archetecture like they use to and its a shame. All anyone wants anymore new wave post-modern buildings. Japan is still creating traditional castles as hotels and businesses ect. Europe and America need to do the same.
