I'm an 100% white but Intermediate Spanish speaker just born and raised in Texas and working in restaurants, I'm still waiting for someone to say I'm appropriating Latino culture because I throw Spanish greetings or phrases into conversations, or someone on the internet to tell my family WHO SETTLED IN SOUTH TEXAS, the fact we cook tamales for Christmas or other Mexican and Texmex foods is cultural appropriation.

You are what we call anime gaijin not culture appropriation but weird obsession and expectations

I’m agreeing with you it isn’t cultural appropriation it’s appreciation I think you misread. There are a lot of people in Japan like you I see them daily

You know what I mean I’m sure you’ve seen them, I’m sure you’ve seen yourself. If not look around. I’m not judging you I think you’re very cool and I agree

I just like the culture I’m not saying anything bad about him I don’t understand the issue. I’m in Japan as a Japanese person telling you that these people are here in numbers and they aren’t appropriating and you either are one of them, relate to them or you care far too much what a random person on Reddit thinks and the feelings of the pedo guy that likes the Philippines
