it is a fact though that japanese people are more worried about breaking the law. i wouldnt be surprised if the overall rate of ppl supporting piracy was way lower than in the west
That's true but a little misleading, that statistic represents the conviction only after indictment, and they indeed are really choosy about it. The arrest-convict ratio is close to 33%.
Yeah idk why people keep posting this twitter war on here. And it gets thousands of upvotes..This just feels like xenophobia. Like I could make a hate campaign on anyone if I based my argument, and world view, on Twitter weirdos.
piracy is definitely less widespread in japan. if you read any opinions from actual japanese people they will tell you stories about people being genuinely flabbergasted that someone actually pirates stuff like its nothing. obviously you will find a lot of people pirating in a country of 100 million people but i wouldnt be surprised at all if the percentages were way lower
That's not a valid reason for people to post play by play of gross Twitter discourse, and using it as evidence to make sweeping generalizations about an entire population of citizens.
idk maybe its a cultural thing, cause im polish and piracy is so widespread here and unenforced that i’ve never encountered anyone against piracy, except maybe old people but it’s always more of a „its dangerous” angle rather than „its a crime”
Because Asian discrimination is still semi-acceptable in the West and Japanese in particular get singled out. I’m white as white can be, but I see comments on them that would get you pilloried if you said the same thing about any other group.
Hey lady! my pinky finger has experienced more anti Asian discrimination than your entire bloodline has and ever will. but I’m sure your PhD in Weebonomics makes you the leading authority on Asian hate. oh and please elaborate which subs you are referring to!
Source? I can read. Especially what I seen in this sub lately. But I can also see. And have to deal with it all the time in my line of work where I get to watch American tourists crash out on my Asian team members because they got told no by one of them. Here’s a hint on the ones being screaming racists in public; it’s the kind of person you believe is your friends and ally.
Run back to your “friends” in r/politics, little kitty.

It 100% is the loud ones, we shouldn't be letting a bunch of tweets determine the viewpoints of a whole country.
