What do people think about your interest in Japan?

My family is happy for me. Everyone else thinks it's unnatural.

I really am just facinated with certain aspects of Japanese culture. I'm facinated with certain aspects of a lot of cultures really, not just Japan, but anyway.

I love anime, Samurai history and mythology, asian film, some Japanese music, Japanese art, Japanese cars (Skyline ftmfw yo!!!), ect. It's not really Japan itself, but a lot of things I happened to like originate there. Don't really know why, you like what you like I guess.

people think that me liking Japan makes me a loser. they say I should be interested in my own culture. when I hear that from narrow minded fools I simply reply:

"Fuck you. Good day."

I agree with Akira. That is usually people's reaction. Also, they look at me disgustedly and say I have yellow fever. Usually I don't intend to tell anyone about my plans to move to Japan, but somehow it comes up.

Yeah thats right Turtle. don't ever let anyone tell you what to like. that's what I always say. it's not their life it is yours. if they can't accept that. then they can piss off.

Same damn thing happens to me a lot, some might say "Why not trace your famaily back to its roots" or "Why do you like a culture thats not your own?"

Well did they ever stop to think that there are more than one way of thinking?

This kind of ignorance pisses me off the most.

That’s why I continue to prevail, and if they disagree i show them my mad Japanese speaking Skills lol just kidding

But sometimes I get some of those people to suck up to me sometimes (if they need help with Japanese Translations ^_^) Kind of funny but Im glad to help.
