>>97627197I can't disagree with anything in your post, especially the whole "they're just self-hating 'otaku' making content off of otaku" but I wanna add my own point that they also don't even really care about trying to intergrate into Japan at all to begin with. Connor did two charity trips with Abroad in Japan, a guy who I don't watch enough of to say if he is or isn't a faggot, but one who has my respect because he actually speaks the damn language.
And if they're clearly not there for weeb purposes and they're not there to Become Japanese™, then they're there simply to fill their own pockets as "experts" on Japanese culture
despite repeating the same retarded points like the average anime fan does with the word nakama. Culture vultures, if you will.
