Other M never happened.

I never feel like these are "Strong Female Characters". Sure, they are strong and female, but I think they work because they are good characters, with interesting motivations and personalities, who have experiences that are worth participating in. Being female for Ripley and Samus is (usually) not a major part of the…

In Japan this is actually a well-practised technique.

I used to work in a call centre that dealt with warranty and breakdowns for several of the big car companies. We were told day one not to take any bullshit. I got to the point where I used to sound deliberately happy to hang up on shit heads. I got promoted.

Ah yes. The Japanese are the only people to ever have done something terrible. Good call.

Dogs are food, too. They just don't taste great.

To be completely fair, I'd marry a really good Lebanese restaurant.

Boomer? The Major? Xena?

Go and take a look at how wrong you are. Go on. We'll wait.

I've lived there. I'm not surprised. At all.

The MRA movement is full of troglodytes who use imagined issues to build rage over their inability to be homophobic, racist, misogynists AND have everyone love them. White, middle class, crybaby man-children are different to people who want equality for all people. Usually.

This was my general experience in Japan. So many women refuse to bother with Japanese men because they feel that local men are unfaithful misogynists who expect them to be demure house maids. I don't think that's fair; I know plenty of great Japanese guys. But I guess, a lot of them have been burned. I know for a fact…

This is a pretty common attitude in Japan. there's a not insignificant number of women who fantasise about white men because they are "gentlemen". That leads to a whole other raft of issues. The whole thing is kinda gross.

I was in Chiba, far from Ehime. I'm 6'1" (185cm) and I worked with at least two guys who positively dwarfed me. I figured there can't be too many 6'6" English speaking foreigners who post on Reddit.

The English speaking foreign population of Japan is actually not far off... especially considering that a large portion of that population are all English teachers and the vast majority work for one of about 4 major employers nationwide. It's an incredibly small world over there.

I see your name. I know who you are.

I'd say it's because he threw a huge glass pitcher into a window in a crowded restaurant and only by a miracle didn't seriously injure or kill someone.

I'm a tall dude who used to live in Japan until fairly recently. I don't use Reddit, though. that place is full of gross.

Pretty sure Science says you are wrong.

I'll be honest... I would totally try dating a guy if this is indicative of his idea of fun. This shit is amazing.
