Hahahaha... enjoy your temper tantrum.

I’m not bitching at you, I’m pulling apart your flimsy arguments and in response you’re floundering and name calling.

What does a geisha do that is worthy of respect?

The fact that you would draw an association between geisha and pole dancers / strippers tells me you are way, way out of your element in the conversation.

Considering the word for “foreigner” in Japanese is literally “outsider” and the strong notion of in-group/out-group in Japan, I think expecting that culture to think about those on the outside ahead of those on the inside to be completely ignorant of Japanese culture.

Hah, yes Kansai is a bit outside that (and proud of it, too). Been a while since I’ve hit up Osaka proper... how has the increase in tourism affected the city?

Yowza. That’s sad on both ends.

Isn’t it closer to 8-9 hours? Anime episodes are more like 20 min than 30. Still, point taken.

Oof. This is disheartening. I hate sounding like a gatekeeper, but there are just certain ways of life in Japan that your average tourists seems to really struggle with, most of which boil down to a simple principle: Think about others first.

This really confused me. The insert text often has location changes and other contextual details, and not including it feels like a huge oversight bordering on mistake. There’s also not so much of it as t be overwhelming; if this were back in the day of editing subtitle files, someone would’ve patched it already.

“We won’t stand for this.”

I think I need to know more about this secret dungeon.

Going to guess you’ve never worked at a large company and/or ever been part of a product launch or release. It is insanely complicated.

Some of the oldest stores there, like Bowery Kitchen Supply or Manhattan Fruit Exchange, were definitely not geared towards tourists and were targeting the neighborhood and the businesses around there. 10 years old the market was often very quiet, with very little of the tourist-concept restaurants and almost none of…

Yep. Same with Chelsea Market in New York. Was first introduced to it in 2008 when I moved into the building for work and recently started visiting again for a new job now in 2019 and my lord... it is impossible to navigate, filled with slow-moving tourists, and just a general nightmare. 

As fans of all those aforementioned shows, my take...

Where your assessment breaks down is from a who-has-what information standpoint.

These “innocents” are not the slaves, the savages, and the broken who came to the Khaleesi for protection and freedom, they are the comfortable, the safe, and the complacent who did nothing but get fat off of and pay taxes to the corrupt system that put Cersei where she is.

This is just... surreal

Was just thinking the exact same thing.
