To be fair, a lot of those channels are probably only gonna portray Japan in a positive light especially if they're partnered on with actual Japanese corporations. I used to watch a lot of Ryans early vids when he was living in Japan and while I never cared about the attached drama, I did like the fact that he never glossed over or sugar-coated his own experiences in the country, but rather told it plainly how it was. There's more then enough YouTube channels out there that tend to emphasize the positives of Japanese society while skipping over it's negatives. I'm the type of person who is more fascinated about the realities of living in a certain society/country and that's what initially drew me to Ryans videos. I think he did a fairly decent job of exposing the xenophobia, rampant corporatism, workaholism, spousal cheating, etc. that plagues modern Japanese society and that's what made the videos pretty interesting. I suspect that's really what was causing a lot of weaboo butthurt towards him which was pretty entertaining tbh. And like his current Africa videos are okay, but meh its fucking Africa who cares really.And he tapped out just before Japanese tourism channels exploded in popularity. Youtubers like Abroad in Japan who mentioned him now have millions of subs and partnerships with Japanese companies. Terrible luck that is only compounded by horrible decision making. A decision can only be profound if its a spur of the moment decision apparently.
I'm kinda curious to know what was the real reason behind him leaving her, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it had possibly something to do with making a long-term commitment with her. It's not impossible that perhaps Rie was pressuring him into getting married since she was getting on in years, and Ryan being Ryan probably wasn't too thrilled to permanently tie himself down to that lifestyle in a country he didn't care for and continuing to be viewed as the typical gaijin bottom-feeder. Much better to be that White man in Africa and bang ebony poon I suppose?Watched this train wreck for 10 years now - He left Rie in Japan (reason not given) - she was beautiful and loving and sweet and at least 7/10. Now he's getting pozzed in Africa.

Just my 2c really.
