Japanese people outside of Japan are you know..Japanese.

Top quality european level of education right there.

Asian people outside of Japan are whatever nationality they were born with. This is just as silly as saying white people born in north america are europeans. They are not and they will never be, unless they move there some day.

Since when if someone is offended on behalf of others is not sane ?

 

I studied Psychology and never in any book I've studied in is mentioned such a thing. What's mentioned about it is something healthy for the personality. It's called ' Empathy ' and it's important to have it and use it.

 

You don't live alone in this world.

 

And Japan have shame culture which is primary agent of social control and there are people suffering from it.

When it's for the sake of trivial things. It's empathy to see someone being hurt or opressed and speak out about it. It's not empathy when it's something that in a normal society would be seen as a non issue. It's clear that "white washing" doesn't matter for the japanese people. Yet shallow social justice advocates try to whine about it even if the "offended" party already stated they don't care. It's not about speaking out about injustice at all, it's about satisfying one's own smug sense of moral superiority.

alright quite interesting video I did not expect nostalgia critic to have this opinion tbh.

 

As for the questions he brings up, I think the line goes when the "-washing" because cultural. Whitewashing for example is a subculture of racism, (and when it's the other way around it's usually in response to that). Many Japanese people may be onboard with it, because they grew up in Japan and doesn't know the struggle of Asian Americans. Stars such as Ming Na-Wen, George Takei, Steven Yeun etc do, and speaks up against whitewashing and spesifically GITS and Dr Strange. I think their viewpoints provide a lot more insight. I have however seen translated posts of Japanese people that loathe GITS, ranting in Japanese on Japanese forums, so I don't like that people use those street interviews as a shield. It's not like I'm dissatisfied because Asians are either. :/

 

("Agewashing" is a bit different to me because a lot of children such as actors in GoT and a lot of teen dramas have sexual/violent scenes which a child should not play. And it would've been difficult to cast a disabled actor for the role in Forrest Gump, because he could walk the first half of the movie.)

Incorrect. The japanese don't care because they were not raised in a culture of shame like western white people were. Their society is wealthy, sucessful and prosperous, and yet they feel no need to feel bad about it because a society that is different then them is not.

Sane people have no desire to get offended on behalf of others, They have better things to do.

*clicks on first link* - the quran teaches violence
*clicks on second link* - is breitbart news

You tell me, what are we supposed to make of "Quran (9:123) - O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness." That is just one of several. Sounds more like you are having a very serious case of reality denial. People can think whatever they want about muslims as people, but islam itself is very defined in it's intent.

Then if you want to make a point about anything, you better find a centrist news outlet. Good luck with that. Most new outlets these days have a political bias, be left leaning or right leaning.
