My guess about what they're thinking with the whole "racist font" thing:
"The font is made to mimic East Asian writing, and therefore is stereotypical, and all stereotypes of that sort are racist, therefore, it's a racist font."
Or:
"The font is made to mimic East Asian writing, and therefore is cultural appropriation, and therefore is racist."
I want to know what it's like to live in a world where you have the time and energy to get angry over a somewhat stereotypical font in a grocery store. What is it like to have this as a battle? Not family shit, not bills, not illness, no, but RACIST FONTS are the burden you carry through this world.
My grocery store doesn't even have an Asian food section so I think someone needs to check their ability-to-make-delicious-recipes privilege.
The anon really could of Google "Japanese work etiquette". As for the tumblr, does thisisnotjapan not know how rude he/she/whatever pronoun preferred is coming off as? Just because English is a language spoken in many countries, it doesn't really contribute to imperialism unless there was some aim for a one world government (could be wrong but still). Even then, not everyone will stay in their home country, especially if they were to leave for other nations where they work for whatever reason (humanitarian, economic, relocating, etc.). I may as well ask: What do Japanese people think about TESOL? Do they think it's trying to replace their own language or something?
>teaching a foreign language that's already used in world commerce to people who are willing to attend a class of their own free will (and money)
>racist
>deliberately witholding that knowledge from someone on purpose because a person is Japanese
>not racist
Also, notice how the person jumps to the conclusion that anon is probably white.
Are you Japanese?
As of right now there are 4 moderators, Eri, Aki, Jun, and Solace. Eri is from Japan and currently lives in the US. Solace is Japanese-American. Aki is half Japanese (Nikkei) and lives in Japan. Jun is Japanese and Korean. So yes, we are Japanese.
THOSE POOR NIPPONJIN ARE SUFFERING FROM INTERNALIZED RACISM. THEY SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE FACE THAT THEY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF NIPPON, GLORIOUS HOMELAND OF YAOI AND POCKY.
All this has me curious about two things, though:
1. Can we really take these people at their word concerning their ethnicity? Whose to say they're a bunch of self-loathing white kids like many other SJWs?
2. Would anime conventions be like Auschwitz to these people?
I'd tell them "fuck you" in Japanese, but I'd be appropriating and would need to drink bleach.
BTW, "fuck you" in Japanese is "kutabare".

Rock-candy for a dragon-kin? It seems like a lot of them use "kin-diets" to justify eating really unhealthy things. Like the demon-kin who ate cottoncandy with poprocks as a substitute for souls.
Hrmm.
Actually...
Guys, I'm a elemental-vampire demonkin, okay? I mainly fed on ice-elementals in my previous life, okay? Thankfully, ice-elemental blood is a lot like ice-cream. Caramel and praline ice cream to be exact.
Ok This angers up my blood a lot, People in Japan are learning English of their free will and KEEPING there language, with the vast history of forcible English education as a real tool of the extermination of languages which were seen as a unfit make this comparison is unspeakable dumb, and offensive at a time were Children have their language beat out of them is well with in living memory

Even if they met one of the people of the group they claim to be defending, I doubt they would go full SJW on them. For one, it's racist to say anything bad to a POC, and two, I doubt their confidence online would translate into the real world anyway. Three, I doubt the hypothetical Japanese person would know/care about what the crazy white person is talking about.
