WoW in Japan?

what the japanese really love is an epic, tragic loser.

Am I supposed to be impressed with your command of swear words? If you’re going to be vulgar, at least be more inventive like Jon R.

Didn’t study sociology. Put a fair number of racists behind bars though.

Right.

So you’re clarifying that you did not mean to imply anything with the “strip away hentai and all that stuff”, and that if not for the anime pornography, Asians are just like 1950s bubblegum goodness Americans? K, thx.

Good. You’re not the only one to travel though, and travelling doesn’t immunise you from errors of stereotyping.

Sure. Thank you for spelling out your stereotype of “Asians” for all of us.

Omigod, d00dperson. Do you realize what a bigot and a racist you are? Are you saying that they’re all the same? That just because Foxy is Japanese, he/she knows what all Japanese people think, and what kind of games they all play and why? I’m utterly shocked and horrified! That’s just beyond the pale! You should be taken out back by your sociology teacher and re-educated.

Your pitiful attempt at sarcasm is lost on me. Address the arguments.

No, I don’t understand any such thing. '50’s-era Americans were far superior in almost every way to today’s Americans. I know. I’m within a few months of being one myself.

What? I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic enough, but, if you aren’t, there’s no possible way you can back up this claim.

This time, I can tell you’re being sarcastic, but I think you might actually be questioning whether or not Kitsune knows what the Japense gaming culture in general likes. Generally, people who spend their entire lives in a certain country get a basic feel for that culture and what they enjoy. Also, again, if you are serious, you contradicted yourself in your post:

I wrote about the Japanese gamers I know–admittedly a small group, but they seem fairly representative

Oops! Sorry about that. Spoilers don’t usually ever faze me so I’m always pretty careless with them. Err, not an excuse, just an explanation. Again, sorry! I’ll try to be more careful next time.

Not a problem, actually – knowing that’s the overarching theme actually encourages me to go back and finish it.

That’s right. It’s a pretty serious aggravating circumstance if it was a motivating factor for the offence, though.
