This was a long time ago back when they had msn instant messenger. So me and Lord Asia were talking about Japan and he said something weird that Japanese people do.
Me: WTF?!!?
Lord Asia: Yeah they’re all like that
Me: What do they do when they see guys in the service do it?
Lord Asia: They think we’re weird.
Me: What if I did it to the Japanese exchange student in class
Lord Asia: He would probably punch you in the face. Or at the very least want to.
I couldn’t believe an entire race of people were this batshit insane. So I asked foreigners who lived in Japan for years and I talked to Japanese people who were born and raised in Japan and moved to America. They all said it was true.
This sort of cultural shock can be cured by binge watching Japanese game shows. Then it will all make sense. Kind of like Squid Game, but with slightly less violence.
At first you’re relating to the broke dude with the kid, saving up money for simple pleasures like dumplings, pork buns, and street ramen. Maybe even a real naruto.
Then you realize what’s really important in a life or death situation: Freezing in place because that fucking doll just locked onto your skull, and then running your ass off when it’s not looking.
I know this black guy who married this Japanese woman and had two kids with her. The whole family visits Japan once a year. I asked him if he knew Japanese people did this and he was totally oblivious. It’s understandable since he only visits and doesn’t live in the country.
I’m not telling you because I want you to get punched in the face.
