>>93735361The problem is that if most Americans have any experience with or knowledge about Japan, it's through their games or media which are full of ridiculous exaggerations and cliches. That and reports in Western media on Japan really push the "Japan is soooooo weird and wacky" angle, and report on crazy shit that's not reflective on how normal people live their lives because those stories are more entertaining.
It's like if you only heard about the US from American movies and TV and "news of the weird" stories or People of Walmart stuff.
