>>20225566Well, I've personally experienced the exact behavior in quite a few cases, especially the "men seen only in terms of benefits and dogs as emotional comfort part" as described above and I don't even live in Japan... Been an online teacher for several years now.
The sad part is they try to act the same way towards foreigners too, but if you point out their behavior, let alone call them out on it, saying that "that shit ain't gonna fly around these parts," they become enraged, fake cry and they'll do anything to make you feel miserable and/or put them in a controlling and superior position. Do yourself a favor and avoid interacting with those kind of people in general, regardless of where they are from...
