what would make this LESS WEIRD is if Japan were made up on the spot like ancient ancient 'cultures' or native american shit. but no, they have regional dialects and food and architecture and customs and complicated stuff. it's a real culture. the question is...
... what's real and what's fake?
also: Japan 1&2. https://magaimg.net/img/7o89.png
Reading your first japan reminded me california gets fetishized so badly. And LA / hollywood.
I lived in southern California for 18 years and went to Hollywood once. Its gross and dirty why would anyone want to go there?
what gets me about CA is how nonamericans tend to blindly assume that CA is the 'capital' of america, for all intents and purposes. what's illegal in ca, people assume it's illegal in ALL states.
On tv and in the talkies its usually california or jew york or texas. At least those seem easiest to make a setting obvious.
