        I always hear about them but haven’t seen them in the wild, and I travel a lot. If I see any a-hole influencers while I’m there, I may become violently impolite. Because the Internet told me to.

      People have such weird notions about Japan, I understand the classic racist infantilization and everything but this is the country that vomited anime all over the world and a dozen other crazy things - they can handle having a few people make cringe content.

        Seems weirder to advocate for thieves taking advantage of courtesy and what is supposed to be mutual respect and graciousness because Japan makes cartoons.
