Oh, there are Japanese beliefs that are bullshit, just like in any other country. Being long-held or traditional doesn’t save them from that status. (I’m here in Japan, too, by the way.)

99% chance this is some white American 20-something weeaboo dweeb who moved to Japan to study the honorable arts of Anime and katana folding too. When the fuck is that whole Japan fetishization thing going to fucking die already?

Yeah, because Japanese people are the pinnacle of refinement. Go to any restaurant in Japan and you'll see a table of girls who haven’t ordered anything but drinks and have their shoes off with their smelly feet up on the seats taking pictures while one sleeps with her head on the table and the guy next to them is…

If those “long-held” beliefs are based on bullshit, then...uptight is probably on the nicer side of what you could call it. lol

Little note for you all. This poster is a weeb living Japan who thinks being foriegn makes him special despite having zero personality.

Be careful man, it’s a long way down from that high horse you’re on.

I’m for a free world where people don’t tell me what I can and can’t wear. What I can and can’t drink. Who I can fuck and can’t fuck. Fuck religion and fuck traditions that are discriminatory. I live in a very big tourist zone (french riviera) and I hate rude and stupid tourists, but they make my business run. If…

My eyes rolled into the back of my head. I know people who post in Ashcraft threads are Japanophiles who think the country is superior in every way and surrounded by unwashed savages, but get a grip. Think about how much money and time you need to go to the Olympics. Think about who is going (the vast majority are…

Yeah I enjoyed that too at first. But no, I don’t enjoy walking around for literally hours and seeing NOTHING BUT PIDGEYS AND ZUBATS! I only get to set aside a day or two to truly play this. if I can’t find anything new, why play?

Also can every shut the hell up about “The old games never had blah blah blah.” Yeah, the…

Tracking was an actively shopped feature you twat

This is untrue. It would be trivial to perform the same spatial query the game is using for the “nearby” Pokemon, and then return the coordinates of each one. Those distances could update client-side at a much higher rate without any additional server load. Based on what I have seen of the Pokemon Go API, that is how…

Yea great for tracking. How about reverting the bullshit change from yesterday’s patch where a 10 CP caterpie can now break out of a ball five goddamn times.

The online community isn’t representative of the community as a whole.

“Japan. Of course it does.” - Brian Ashcraft.

This is Kotaku. It’s always like that.

Remove Pokemon Go from the situation, and the title turns into: “There are slobs in Japan who are are dirtying public spaces.”

Alternatively, let’s write an article about how kotaku journalists create prejudiced articles with clickbait titles and hate/shame groups of people.

I’ve got the title for you: “Some kotaku writers have no shame”

No, no. Let me fix this stupid title for you:

Most normal people don’t fucking say “asian guy” either. It’s just “guy.”
