That doesn’t justify defacating

There’s you and then there’s literally everyone else chiming in. Notice that I’m not even against Chinese, just tourists. But if you’d bothered to ask, I’m against most tourists in general.

Absolutely. You can find memes about British tourists in Greece even. The issue is that Europe is really diverse and people don’t dread groups like the Chinese. It needn’t be like this but largely is.

Oversensitive according to your values maybe. And I agree that globalization is bad. If that isn’t your point though, can’t help you.

I don’t like being lumped in with other Americans but it’s not really another countryman’s job to figure out the differences in that sense. Great to extend that laurel but you can’t do it always.

Not necessarily. Japan has better tourists than Britain and the British are also ranked pretty lowly in some places. British tourists in Europe have part of that Ugly American image. Maybe be an Anglo thing.

Over fifty percent of foreign tourists currently come from mainland China and South Korea.

The Constitutional concept of privacy has long since been established in law. Not really here to debate that, but why exactly do we think that EVERYTHING we do, say or purchase should fall under the blanket of privacy?

Most people in the West assume in a name like Xi Jinping that Xi is the first name. This is all written to maybe respect Japanese or something but it comes off as people who just think other cultures are better. Even with people in Japan possibly advocating for it. Cultural differences are supposed to be what we’re…

They’re certainly sticking with the last and/or current policy before ushering in a new one.

Seems like a complaint about artist theft rooted in “it was too obvious; please don’t make it obvious”. Artists steal.

You know literally nothing about me, and you’re going to assume you have more experience than me.

Whatever happens, please tag Tim Rogers in everything you write about.

Whatever you choose to believe, buddy. People like you aren’t worth trying to correct or educate.

Your immediate need to try and characterize someone you haven’t met instead of respond to the question is cute.

Cynical for sure, but I’m right.

Ninja isn’t anyone’s friend. He’s a streamer. He sells things. Alienating viewership cuts into profits and that’s really it. If he were some random user without so much money riding on everything he did, he probably wouldn’t give a shit - as shouldn’t really anyone who ultimately chooses to fast.

It’s really just called PR.

Not really. If there were no money attached to his viewership then he likely wouldn’t give a shit how many people tuned in or not. Don’t fawn over PR.
