>>61661305You ever seen the japanese stereotype for american gaijin in an anime or some other media? Some huge 6ft6 GI Joe bodybuilder that's loud, rude, haughty, prone to picking fights to starting trouble and ignorant of japanese customs but also chummy and nice once you get past the cultural difference and abrasive exterior?
Mori is like that stereotype to a T. Japanese are fascinated by her because she's a caricature become real, but also because she's a cute girl and not a drunk Marine making a scene at an Okinawan bordello. They get the impression that if they ever met her IRL she'd beat up their school bullies and then give them a candy.
I mean this in the most positive possible way. She's cultivated a particular image and it works for her, but the disconnect comes from the fact that we in the west don't really have an equivalent stereotype to compare her to.
