Jack, Tenchu has never been to Japan, so his opinions are not based on first-hand information.
I don't know what they are based on, but it isn't anything in the reality I know. The leaps in logic being made are far to vast to be even addressable. Tenchu feel free to hate Japan because tattoos are not the social norm there. But be sure to hate almost all of the rest of the world, because the same is true almost everywhere, but I imagine you already do. |
You're the definition of asiaphile, MMM.
Jack, I'd say you were too, but I have a feeling you're Asian yourself, so you're something else. I guess the point to sum it up is the ancient concept of an eye for an eye, and you reap what you sew. I'll think twice before having a Japanese guest in my house now, and especially at my dinner table. It's because I know they'd do the same for me. Infact, anyone with tattoos I think would have issues with Japanese who're like this. Why should we accept them into our house when they wouldn't let us into theirs? I know MMM will think of some smart asiaphile comeback about respecting cultures or whatever and why Japanese don't have to respect other cultures because they live in Japan. But at the end of the day, they're truly f**ing arrogant. They can go fu** themselves. I'm sick of stupid Asian racist BS and the idiots who say I have to tolerate them when they won't tolerate me. I'll leave this forum in the hands of asiaphiles from now on. |

Honestly, it's arrogant. I'm not a yakuza. They'd know that. I know why they consider their skin to be so precious, as well; it's another racism thing that came about having pure and white skin was what separated you from poor people. We've talked about that many times. In the end, in Thailand, tattoos are encouraged here as a means of spirituality and social acceptance. It's not ignorance us foreign Muay Thai fighters wear as trophies, it's our tattoos which earn us a lot of respect from down at the lowest peasant right up to the royal family. Muay Thai is the art of Kings, they say, and I'm proud of who I am and what I do; that's my medal of honor in Thailand. And no, I won't tolerate people who will not tolerate me. I should never be asked to; no one should. So **** Japan. |
Tenchu,
How are you connected to Japan, and what inspires you to post here? |

Its unfortunate, yes, but racist? No. Racist would be saying "No foreigners with tattoos are allowed. Only tattooed Japanese". |

Going through all your posts clearly show you endulging in moderation. Why? |

Besides, as Tain said, it's NOT just Japan. Many cultures have histories in which tattoos and scarification are associated most strongly with violent rebels or out-right criminals and there IS no history of spiritual or cultural tattooing. In the UK, the opinion tends to be that it's the pursuit of the 'lower classes', even if that's untrue in practice. At the end of the day, in that respect, the consensus is that 'nice boys and girls' don't get tattoos. |
