>>SpeechJapanese speech is simply *cuter* in so many ways.
>Very wide range of onomatopoeia which can be used in day-to-day conversations. >Colloquial sentences can be as short as one word since Japanese is high context culture, "This is so much fun!" becomes "Fun!" (楽しいー!)>(generally) higher voices, because cuteness is strongly associated with femininity.>>Sexuality>Topics like "lolicon" and "shotacon" are very lax compared to western standards. So much so that they will admit to belonging in either category as if they're telling us their favorite ice cream flavor.>Japanese girls are usually much less awkward when it comes to talking about sexual topics in general.>>Drama/Politics>Politics are usually much less heard of in Japan, because Japanese politics just aren't an integral part of their culture the same way it is in the West. They don't have a very weird, virtue-signally relationship with a lot of things, like nazi imagery, western racial slurs, etc.>Japanese people try their best to avoid drama to preserve their image, even at the cost of their mental health. >Interactions with chat are much less authoritative and more of a back-and-forth.>>Escapism>Japanese culture is very different from your culture, therefore it's easier to escape into it.
