also i feel like its diff with them because their dads are absent from their lives slaving off on these video game and media factories so they prob think of it on a whole different level when they buy this stuff. plus theyre prob used to having every single piece of media available to them no problem, they dont have a 'japanese game/console' problem that the rest of the world does

To be fair they have buffed side stepping. But yeah tracking is s***ty

Don’t think I’ve ever paid for any media I’ve consumed on my own laptop so not that I’m anti piracy, but don’t really see the problem in Piracy being treated differently in a different cultural

As a lifelong tekken player since tekken 2 (stopped after 6/tekken tag 2), I was challenged to play tekken 8 at the homie house (who ive been putting belt to ass for years)

And for the first time brodie was cooking me. Spamming that Leo’s broken air grab and rage art move whenever I was COOKING this nigga. Knew then the series is on bullshit now lol.

Yar! Avast, they're stealing CutiePieHole's bit sez I

not all japanese people are like this for sure, but it is f***ing weird and one of the most alien things to us westerners culturally. f*** em though, the games would be literal lost media were it not for the community preserving them

I think this debate is going to snowball and will cause Japan to get the India treatment aka all the really bad aspects of their culture, society and their general views will get blasted all over social media ruining the image of their country and people.

Fake shocked when you remember Japan is highkey asia’s Israel with how they be doing the Okinawa people

F*** Japan.

Most are like this actually lol. They believe that the law dictates what's moral and ethical. They are an institutionalized people

Their weed laws are notoriously draconian.

? that's why i said "not all"

Maaaaaan so many moves track and cause realignment that the buff didn’t even matter

Nah I don’t see that happening. And I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy tbh

Yea now any noob can get into the high ranks within a month or two. Its just random s*** to the max in the game. I have never played Tekken seriously and even in the old days I saw it more as a casual series where a noob could pick someone like Eddy up and defeat you. And I think thats one of the reasons why it stayed a popular series. But with T8 they went too far for casuals

Your wording just comes off as like there is a substantial amount of japanese people who don't think that way or that the ones online are not reflective of the majority opinion. There isn't enough japanese people who go against the grain to warrant a "not all" response

That has already happened. There is one side that absolutely loves Japan while the other goes crazy with the hate to counter them. I wish people would just see it as a normal country because it is very normal if you ever go there. Beautiful for sure but neither is it a weeb dreamland nor is it a safe haven for weird crimes. People on both sides pick up some headlines here and there and create their own version from it. The whole mystification around Japan needs to go

This the country we all stan

Like India, they don't deserve internet white superior complex telling how s***ty their country is. Every country has something they do amazing and something very flawed, and Japan has many of them. It might be eye opening for some people who have viewed Japan as a perfect society but they just been ignorant. And if they think India or Japan are trash because some 4channers cherry picking their flaws and "expose" them on the internet, then they are ignorant too.

Only s***ty country in the world is Israel.

The hate for japan is still very contained to certain communities/circles. The india hate broke containment and it's at the point now where normies know about it and actively discuss/comment about it.

Interesting that many Japanese are pro AI which seems to contradict this pro corporation mindset

As a half Indian it really sucks

Good f*** em

they are loyal people of society

F*** japan is right
