I took the honor of starting the wave of the bashings, as the old one passed 100 pages. I'm pretty sure all of us have encountered a Japanophile at one point in our lives. Whether online or in real life, Japanophiles never cease to astound.


The question is, since there is a rising number of Japanophiles, can we expect the amount of losers to increase?

What about those who gained exposure to Japanese culture through martial arts?

They're no more losers than Japanese people in the 60s and 70s who listened to jazz all damn day and basically embraced French literature and culture.

Woah woah woah woah woah, whats jazz have to do with France again?

I'm just pointing out, Japanese were Westernophiles back in the 60s and 70s.

Feeling the urge to post friends myspace pictures..

Do it. The chance of us actually ever meeting them is like 1000/6 billion.

Liking anime doesn't classify you as a Japanophile.

.

You have to post their pictures now. I have to know.

Lol. Also depends on the kind of anime you like. There is serious anime like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. If you like that genre, you can't ever be considered a Japanophile because that kind of anime is actual entertainment.

.

umm.. that would be japanophile material if any physical characteristics start to change to resemble japanese culture.

I still fail to see why you would be concerned about Japanophiles. Are you the defender of ALL of Japan, its territories, people, culture and history?
If not please find a more meaningful occupation / hobby that will yield material benefits in the future when you are old enough to leave your parents abode.

i was an hitlerphiles in my last life , while i was a in germany

I have come to believe these guys are just bored and venting some teenage angst. So we should just humor them maybe?

He/she may even get sexual stimulation from anything remotely related to Japan, or japanese culture.

I get sexual stimulation from looking at asian men, not all... just the hot ones...... asianophile?

Not really.

nope, asian fetish, which is very common, in fact it is a natural female response to get attracted to handsome asian males.

i honestly coudln't believe those guys actually existed until i saw one with my own eyes.

As king of Asia, I remove you of your asiaphile status. Everyone else are still losers.

what if you are really really drunk, will average asians do?

free hugs in japan.
perfect for some white dudes to hug a japanese chick.

Yes.
Your av and sig screams japanophilia.

Why couldn't we have just kept continuing the old thread instead of making another one?
Anyways, what do you think is the future of these Japanophiles? Will they eventually, finally realize its all a fad and give it up a few years later or will they follow Japan to the grave, or worship another east asian country? Isn't Japan declining anyways?

^ Threads with more than 100 pages get closed down.

It's a forum rule, so usualy at about 99 - 100 pages some one makes a new one!

sign is in english. she knows what she's doing.

Oh, it's not just Japanese girls getting free hugs. I was in Shibuya for New Year's, and ye gods, I was getting hugged left and right by random (drunken) men, yelling, "Happy New Year!" at me in highly accented English. It was an interesting night, all right. XD

And uuugh, the Japanophiles. There's something vaguely creepy about how some of them thoroughly fetishize Japan and Japanese people. Interest in Japan is one thing, but fetishization and blind appropriation are another.

what is this cheap knockoff brand of a thread?

It is actually quite sad because of how true the topic of discussion is. I have bumped into literally thousands of Japanophiles in my day and didn't really know how to sum them up in proper words until now. Japanophiles particularly have an interest in the Japanese entertainment industry, and most new asianophiles stem as a result. Now I can put it in words, Thanks a bunch.

I agree with the poster who asked why any of you should care about Japanophiles. Alright, so there's goofy white people who think they're some kind of secret Japanese. Fine. What's that to me? Why would I care? Why do you?

And if some stupid Japanese girl gets involved with one of these creeps, so what? It's her life she's wasting and she's not hurting you at all so just forget about it.

I've started reading manga for the first time these past couple of weeks. My friend let me borrow her Death Note series. I actually enjoy it a lot.

its hard to ignore once they start offending other people like chinese and koreans. they show hatred for no reason. crazy people. They show their love and passion for japan. When they see someone talking about japan when it has to do with history or politics, these dudes get into bushido samurai mode. And start attacking and defending with all their hearts and talk a lot of $hit about china and korea. And try to find every possible way to say that they are wrong. There are problems within asia like involving korea and japan, or china and japan. It does not require a white person who knows nothing and butt in and scream and offend people. They take things to the extreme and mindlessly attack others. Yes nobody would care if they just do their own little thing, but it is hard to ignore when you have these people just firing off. It gets very offensive. Do you think a black person would like it if a pro-white asian kid starts going, "AHHH, YOU N*ggaS! STUPID N*ggaS GET OUT OF AMERICA! GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY AND GO BACK TO AFRICA!!!" That asian kid is asian and saying "get out of my country" and is being very offensive. i hate crazy people and wish they would mind their own business and leave everybody alone.

If they weren't part of the original conversation you tell them to butt out and remind them that, in Japanese culture, what they are doing is considered very rude. If they are out-arguing you, then you don't know your facts, in which case, maybe the Japanophile has a fair point to make. Shouldn't be that hard to put these people in their places.



And it doesn't require me either. So why would I care to argue about what's going on in the Far East? Like a fat lot of good I can do about it. One thing I won't do is waste my time arguing with a white person who thinks his lust for Japanese women must mean he's really Japanese inside. It's like a Japanese guy who wants so badly to be a white American that he walks around wearing a cowboy outfit--hat, chaps, holster and 6-shooter, spurs, the whole bit. Would you waste your time arguing about America with the likes of him?



So avoid them. Walk away from them. You can't prove anything to them and you shouldn't feel any need to try.



So, once again, avoid them. You wouldn't stand there arguing with a neo-Nazi skin, would you? What for? Waste of time and it will probably get violent if you persist and it isn't worth it anyway. Just walk away. Don't say anything to them--just walk away. That's the one reaction they can't handle. When you argue with them, they think it legitimizes their "Asian-ness." By walking away, you're showing them they're not worth your time. Let them proclaim victory if they want. They will anyway.

All the Chinese people who claim that China created Japanese culture are just fooling themselves. Chinese and Japanese culture are nothing alike.

To me, they are pretty close.

That's because you don't even know anything about the two cultures to begin with.

I do know. Japan in grade 7, China in grade 6.

You are ignorant and racist and an Asiaphile, this guy came here posting asking for porn on Asiafinest in his introduction thread, it's only a matter of time until he gets banned anyways. and for the record, Japanese and Chinese culture are VERY different. I am Japanese, and BlueAway and emonosiki are Chinese, I think we know a little bit better of our own cultures than some guy who looks like Zangief.

No I didn't. Why would they ban me, I paid them money like 2 years ago. and whos zangief?

they'd ban you because you are a racist jackass and they would be doing their job, and yeah you did come here looking for porn

I am not racist, I have like half a dozen nonwhite friends.

you are clearly an idiot, a racist, and you'll never get it.

I'm being mean...

never get what?

You spent ONE YEAR EACH for learning the cultures. WOW!

People who think that they can learn about foreign cultures in just one year are complete morons who do not even deserve any attention or respect. People have trouble understanding other cultures even if they are exposed to those cultures for decades, and you are nowhere close to being any better than them by studying just for a year.

It's ignorant idiots like you, who go off to pretend that you know everything there is about other cultures, that end up generalizing about things that don't even slightly resemble each other.



Dude, I'm Korean.

Considering that, we got the whole East Asian crew here.



I'm starting to wonder if the site staff is willing to ban you if I paid them twice as much as what you've paid them.

Hey, nothing personal. If I pay, I do "deserve to get my service", right?

I killed Stalin.

Congratulations *pats head*

stalin was a communist, so not cool

Don't feed the trolls.. They don't know when to leave when you feed them. They're like lost puppies.

you suck
