Can I just make this clear for you all.

THE ARTICLE ON WAPANESE FROM ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA IS A JOKE.

Have none of you ever seen it? It takes the piss out of anything going. You type anything in the little box and it will probably be there, in some twisted manner. It's not a serious or proper encyclopedia at all, so don't get all pissed off about the fake statistics on there. It's just a harsh way of talking about people who don't know fuck all about Japan but pretend they are Japanese and saying ' KAAAWAIIIIIIIIII' too much in random sentances.

If you are an older person in their 20's and went to Japan you would be thought of as immature for doing cosplay. You and some of those people have an immature mind set, you think that Japan is some paradise, where you will be accepted, TO BAD. YOU WONT!!!

Also your grasp for the english language is terrible.

Think carefully about what I just said to you and realize I am right

Okay..
First, I have good english.
And I'm not in my 20's.. I'm 13.
I don't think I'll be accepted.
I never said I did.
I am not immature.
I enjoy Japanese culture and food.
And I myself am learning Japanese, thank you very much.
I do think about what you say, but most of it is rude anyways, so what thought should I give to it?
No, you are not right.
People think differently.
No one thinks Japan is all anime.
There are no girls there that have magical powers and DD breasts.
Stop putting them down.
And stop putting me down.
You don't know me at all, or what I'm like.
I know and like more about Japan than you'd believe.
And I don't give you a bad name.
I probably like the same things about Japan as you do.

And stop talking about my grammar.
It's perfectly fine.

I'm definitely not.
In fact, I met too much of them during japanese lessons... so many that I started to hate them


edit: the page on encyclopedia dramatica is, indeed, an exaggeration. It only makes fun of a stereotype, BUT, there's still some truth- if you read all that page, and by saying "read" I mean "to read between the lines", taking away all the stupid jokes and exaggerations, you'll get a good description of a stereotypical Wapanese. If you compare this description with some people (and their behaviour), you'll find out that the stereotye is not far from being a real description.

All wikipedia type sites are edited by common folk such as ourselves. Teachers where i live are starting to downgrade reports and projects if a student uses wikipedia for this reason.

Wikipedia is banned at my school. We're only allowed to use it for basic information.

I was raised in japanese culture at my grandmas house when i was very young until around 10 or 11. but when she passed I pretty much lost all my ties to the culture besides my aunt i hardly see. I didnt become interested until recently in it and I look white so I feel like I am little but techinically im not, i guess. But I dont go too far with it at all, like (no offense because i know a lot of people like it here) but i think cosplay is weird and I dont listen to j music, watch little anime, read only one manga, but I immerse myself in the langauge and culture. My major is international business with emohasis on japanese, so...

If you are 3/4 white and 1/4 Japanese, how can you be African American on the Obama/McCain thread?

I think we have a disguise artist in our midsts.

Daisuki13 06-06-2008 08:21 PM

Hmmm..
I suppose that I don't really want to be Japanese.
Just live there.
Reading all the other posts helped me figure that out : D

@JapanMan2. I think you are way too quick to judge people. I really don't like the elitist tone you're taking. Are you saying that simply because someone likes anime that they are automatically Wapanese? That's a little ridiculous. Seriously.

What's more.. How serious do you expect to be taken with what you say when your user name is JAPANMan2. Unless you're Japanese yourself, that is what sticks out to me the most as being Wapanese. The way you're so defensive, and the diehard immature claim to have a "blood feud" with anyone Wapanese, makes it seem like you have something you're trying to cover up.

I think so, too.

I would have to say if I could have chose to be Asian, I would have. Their culture is so amazing.

But I'll just settle for visiting or possibly living. :)
