| Don't get me wrong Japan is great and all but why they so weird? Is this there way of trying to get foreigners away from their country? For example watch this creepy ass video: |

| It's just a culture difference, I'm sure if Japanese people saw some of the stuff we do they'd think we were the weird ones. |
 |
| I read some where that Japan doesn't censor any idea. while it does have a lot of weird and fucked up shit, it also creates a lot of creative ideas. |
ruarifinn said: It's just a culture difference, I'm sure if Japanese people saw some of the stuff we do they'd think we were the weird ones. +1. Duh, different cultures view each other in different ways because different cultures naturally conflict against one another. I bet the Japanese look at some of our cultural aspects and think we're weird too. |

| Because Japan is near and far at the same time. Striving to imitate the West, it manages to achieve an almost uncanny valley tier copy of it, especially in Tokyo and places like that. It feels completely "normal", fully Westernized, at first. This makes Westerners forget that Japan is not (shock and horror) a Western country; so when they inevitably see something that doesn't suit their habit and sensibility, it's "weird", when in fact it is very much IN place in a country which was built on centuries of history and development quite separate from the West. |
| If I was an outsider to 90% of the shit Americans do I'd try to keep them out of my country too. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Because you nuke them twice,that's why. |
 |
| Their prudish traditional values gives room for a lot of repressed and deviant thoughts and behaviour. |
| Because murica nuke them, twice..... |

The clip @DEVlL provided for example is not the norm in Japanese movies and there's really nothing out of the ordinary anyway. Hell, if you'd take your time to look into it, you'd know it's supposed to be like that because it was devised to be a parody. Look into it more, and maybe you'd get to a point to understand why they chose these type of designs. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| .... You really expect that to be the norm? I'm disappointed with your lack of intelligence. But seriously, that kind of stuff exists everywhere. And you're shitposting I assume. |
| I envy Japan's high school life. High schools here are rather boring. I recall nothing exciting from my days. |
 |
| Japan thinks America and other countries are pretty weird. Raimu4 said: European countries continue to let in hordes of muslim extremists that are known to rape and kill innocents 'wow Japan is crazy guys lol ' THIS. |

| Well if you go to japan to try and get some used panties from a vending machine, you're most likely going to be disappointed. The "weirdness" of Japan is exaggerated. People from every country make some weird shit so one strange video doesn't prove much on its own. |
| Japan isn't that weird, at least to them they aren't. It's all about culture man. Plus they aren't afraid to be different. |
| The US caused that. By nuking them twice, as other members mentionned, but also by some cultural influence. For instance, Japan's fascination for panties comes from that Japanese used to not wear underwear, and Americans forced them to cover their bodies more. http://www.cracked.com/article_19098_6-wtf-japanese-trends-you-can-blame-white-guys.html |

| Every country has their messed up commercials and movies, I don't see how that can define a country in itself as 'weird'. But honestly if I'm going to be interrupted by a commercial while watching TV then I'd rather watch a hilariously strange one rather than your average boring commercial filled with celebrities' recommendations. |
 |
| because they're a mutated cesspool of a nation. Also everyone is ugly as fuck in Japan. |

| Oh, look another pot calling the kettle black post. |
| Japanese people normally like to keep their emotions inside so it comes out in weird ways. Then again with us Americans being very expressive people I'm sure we're the weird ones to them |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
AxBattler said: It's not just high school, "school festival" is something they do even in college as an annual thing, and quite honestly, I think it's awesome. While there is an entertainment aspect of it, virtually the entire thing is managed by students. That's everything from the content, location, schedule and more. The university I attended was known for hosting the widely attended festival in Japan, with an attendance of 160,000 over 2 days. Managing that is no easy task (plans and preparations is done months in advance), and I am sure that they learn a lot from it. My jealousy now runs more deeply. I wish I was at least an exchange student or something. |
|
| @AxBattler Thanks. Might actually try one of those tbh. |
|
| Honestly, they're not. They do have different cultural expectations and values but they're just as depressed about life like the rest of us. It's just their shows that are crazy. |
 |
| Every country has weard perspectives and on the internet it is emphasized. As Japanese, I often see so many articles and videos about Japan which is not common in Japan |
| I used to think that it was just cultural difference, but now I realise there's something kinda weird about Japan... |
  |
| The people who say this are the ones who have never visited Japan. I live in Japan and it doesn't feel "weird" or "creepy" at all. The only time I've ever felt weirded out is visiting some of the more adult-oriented shops in Akihabara. Japan is a very peaceful and cozy place and is far more conservative than America and the like. |
 |
| As a Japan ese, Japan is much weird sometimes, hmm yes. The young people are disilusioned and far from reality, yes. When I turn tv on I see many cooking programs and kanashii dramas, but young people watch only children's cartoons and don't learn about harshness of life. This is a bad thing, indeed, yes. |

| I like Japan for it's weirdness. And I don't like ppl who think that it's something wrong and inapropriate. Inapropriate it's being stupid assh0les with narrow thinking. |
| Because it got nuked twice. Yes, I'm too lazy to check if that has already been said. |

| I do believe JonTron put it best https://youtu.be/6rIxWqcBk4M?t=36s |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| At least they don't block porn websites like it does mother russia. |
 |
| Because it's like the kid that does nothing but use the internet all day. Isolated, so it created an identity by itself. When japan did weird things, no one was there to cringe at it. And now they are influenced by the west, so it's just awkwardly trying to fit in. So basically, Japan is a weeaboo. |
 |
I'm sure Asians think many things in America are weird. Just look at our pop culture.  I think I understand why our old folks are so cynical. They've seen/lived through some crazy shit... I mean, I'm in my 30s and I think some of the trends kids are into these days are weird. |
| I'm sure Japan finds our obsession with DARKNESS and TOUGH ANGRY MEN just as bizarre. |

Here in the West it's the opposite. Un-mascular guys are the stereotype of homosexuality. |
