I grew up believing Japan was some kind of nerd paradise where everyone played vidya.
Find out only causal handheld and mobile crap is popular and gaming is far more socially acceptable as an adult in America.
Why is reality so hard lads?

lmao
>when you realize how backward wonderful nippon in in regards to digital downloads and online play

Where the hell did you ever get that it was some kind of nerd paradise? Japan is more casual than the West and literally no one gives a shit about anime and videogames. THey love DQ for some reason though.
>>386504116
Mobile games are so popular because most of the Japanese work like 500 hours a week and have almost no downtime to play video games except while taking the rail or goofing off on the job. NEETs are a thing but that's a very small minority of people.

Dairy Queen?
Japan seems hellish
Everyone works like a slave in nipland.

Japanese people have basically no down time due to societal standards, senpai
The suicide rate is high for many reasons

Not trolling, why is this important? Hobbies are something you do for fun regardless of what people think, from archery to stalking.
Do whatever makes you happy

>that insane lack of agriculture
fucking nips
As bad as Japan is it's still the best of the East Asian nations. All of the bad things about Japan are kicked up to eleven elsewhere.
Nips hate otaku, haven't you studied anything about their culture? Over there if you're not working or studying you're wasting your time.
Who cares. Hey everyone im being a huge faggot and streaming kingdom teets on ps4
Come make fun of me, im lonely and drunk

If otaku are NEETs how do they whale so hard for anime and video games? Does Japan have NEETbux?
>>386507332
They live with their parents

Rice is energy dense, grows in water and is havestable twice a year. Its responsible for the population sizes across all of asia you benis

Don't top anime shows get insane ratings, like 7 or 10 weekly? Peak Walking Dead was like 8.5 and it set a record
I actually just came back from Japan a couple weeks ago and this is true. But there's so much to do there that I didn't even think about videogames once the whole three weeks I was there.

The average American works longer hours than the average Japanese

Moe anime is basically an injection of serotonin for lonely salarymen, why do you think it airs in the middle of the night?
>>386507109
Honestly, it's not like it's a particularly tough competition, as practically all countries there suck in a way or two. Basically, you have those greedy and scummy shitholes with no morale, and then you have those autistic workaholic nations with suicide-inducing traditions. Still, if I had to choose between those, I'd take the latter: it may be shit, but at least it is mostly honest shit.
>>386504116
Gaming's more accepted as a hobby in America nowadays then it was ten years ago. Isn't that a good thing?
No need to feel embarrassed about it either way.
>>386504116
did they laugh at your anime pillow as well?
>>386507547
Moe doesn't draw shit. Long-running shows like Sazae-san and Doraemon and Toei shounens are king
>>386504271
Their works are so creative. How can such a zombie society create such wonderful pieces of fiction?
>>386507615
Rmember that those scummy shitholes like China aren't really that better on the workaholic scale, you have parents powertraining kids since theyre toddlers so that they can get in a good university etc.
I don't believe this bullshit. Most likely it's somewhere in between the fantasies and the trufax posts. If they hate animu so much why do they produce SO FUCKING MUCH OF IT? literally dozens of new series every year, what's the deal?

The small part of the population that consumes it is dedicated as fuck and spends a ton of time and money in it. You don't need to reach to a big part of population if your niche attracts enough whales.
>>386504116
at least playing switch or 3ds in public is far more socially acceptable in Japan, I guess
and also you can see a salaryman plays arcade fighting games anytime in Japan

Same way limits breed innovation in other mediums
>>386508103
It only seems that way because it's foreign, therefore different and out of the norm for you
They look at our shit exactly the same way
