I think it's just in general the old timers here who actually live or have lived in Japan and know what it is really like get tired of the views expressed by often very young people who have never travelled anywhere, let alone Japan and have no idea what it is like to live there. People who are fanatical about Japan and think they can really understand it's people and culture through watching or reading a few cartoons! People who seem to believe that Japan is some sort of nirvana, whose people and culture embody perfection itself. Those of us who've lived many years in Japan know that's not the case. To constantly read the completely naive views of people, who are generally struggling to fit into their own culture, thinking they will find total acceptance and be embraced into Japanese culture just gets ridiculous. And for those of us who have actually lived there many years to then be told that we have no idea what we are talking about is really very annoying. Some people just don't like to hear reality. They want to cling to their naive perceptions.
