-They tend to be better at comunication which is hilarious because I don't understand Japanese but when seeing Wotafa's reviews very rarely I don't know about what he's talking about.
They tend to know about what they are talking about and how things work, I remember for example Bobby Skullface thrashing on the Magic Square Optimus about how the arms weren't accurate when he actually hadn't transformed it correctly
They don't tend to be chills at least they don't appear, I was seeing the reviews of the Metal Build Shin Getter and pretty much every review was pointing out at the shitty hips, the terrible articulation, the tiny balljoints and the plastic handle, I constatly see western reviewers shilling for stuff like SH Monsterarts with severe QC issues and you can see in the reviews that they are aware of the QC issues but handle the figure with care to prevent it from showing, or when they are overpriced and reviewers like Steve rush to the rescue like on that overpriced Iris
If they are assholes, the language prevents you from knowing it, if a Western reviewer is an asshole it will show either in the review or in their interaction with the comments, Bobby Skullface can't avoid being a dick, that shit pours into his reviews, and one of these days I was seeing one of Kuma's reviews and some guy made a comment about how he should change the illumination and some other stuff that would improve the review and Kuma replied some like on the lines of you need to shut the fuck up and get off this channel, not only that but I've seen him commenting on threads were he managed to get a legends scale IDW Optimus, people were asking him how did he got it and he actively ignored them, not just on those threads but even in his reviews.
