I'm an amateur (fanfiction) writer, and an amateur pixel artist. And an amateur stage performer. And a professional idiot. Loves brainrot and can be edgy.

This is my personal blog.

I don't really consider myself a member of any fandom, but I like lots of stuff. This is included but not limited to HxH, The Lord of the Rings, Gilbert & Sullivan, Vermintide, Mongolian throat singing, a bunch of stuff. I also love art, my favorite artists are Alphonse Mucha, Ivan Aivazovsky, and Gustave Moreau. John Singer Sargent, too.

So instead of me hate posting in a reblog I am stuck with quietly venting about it in my corner of the internet. First of all to be clear, it is extremely super cringe when white devils use Japanese like bro shut up I hate you. It is a LARP and also generally and indicator of somebody being extremely socially maladjusted. However

This is not orientalism, though these sorts of people that partake in this behavior do tend to also be orientalist. However, this is simply the market working as intended. They associate the Japanese language with cute things because there is an enormous machine pumping out slop content with the exact intent of making things as cute and or attractive as feasibly possible. That's because the degenerate Japanese culture is full of people that are also socially maladjusted, and turns out socially maladjusted people of all stripes tend to be lonely perverts regardless of ethnic background. So this slop was produced to appeal to a domestic audience of lonely perverts, and then anime found a foothold internationally and now appeals to white devil perverts as well. These people are simply responding to stimuli, their favorite waifu or husbando says cute things in Japanese with their fluffy hair and big shiny eyes and like a pavlovian dog they now hear Japanese and assume it must be cute regardless of context, attributing some sort of supernatural cuteness quality to it simply because their smooth, soft, malleable brains have been groomed into associating Japanese with cute people by decades of mass media exportation. In short, the fact that so many people associate Japanese with being cute is simply a result of artists and companies back in Japan wanting to make money and that's it
