If you look on a larger scale of how many people love Japan as a majority of population, it's not as big as you're making out.
Point 3
So many Japanese are obsessed with the west just as much as we are obsessed with Japan. Do you think it makes them foolish for taking an interest in our society?
I mean yeah, Japan is different to the west. Go figure- it's a totally different part of the world with a totally different history so that's no surprise. But why does that mean that the people from one culture can't take an interest in people from another culture?
Does that mean that if one person is different to another person then they can't be friends or fall in love just because they're different? Just because a country's system is run differently to another doesn't mean they can't have anything to do with each other. I think it's good, by being interested in other cultures people can learn new ways of thinking and living. Become more open-minded so to speak.
It sounds like you're just voicing a very naive and ignorant opinion. We can all do without you telling us what we can and can't do with our interests thanks.

Hmm, pretty well said, especially the part about Japanese people being obsessed with western culture. It's the same with so many people in Taiwan too, a lot of my family in fact. All crazy about western this, western that, hahahah. By the way, I see "I <3 NY" and stuff like that on so much crap, just like how you see, "I <3 Tokyo" or something. No difference, really.
