So there are two meanings of Japanese when referring to a person. A person who is ethnically Japanese or a person who is a Japanese National.
A person can be both of these or one of these but not the other and the term can still apply to them if they wish.
So please fuck off with telling a person whether or not they’re Japanese.
itsmendokusai/tumblr/com/post/128995860384/solacekames-fraulein-jules This is the Miyamoto Ariana post but w/ commentary from a biracial Japanese person (idk if National but have been there from what they say). Can you confirm? How being mixed with different ethnicities (filipino vs white/black) allows you to be treated differently in those conditions? (I cant word this right but are they correct?)
I am going to stab myself. She’s American. Please don’t listen to Americans talk about racism in Japan. Especially, when it comes to foreigners.
“Many Japanese hate prejudice and racists, hate white privilege, and actively work for Japan to be better, because Japan is a diverse and ever-changing and often-squabbling country of 80 million people, contrary to the impression of us as ahistoric robots.” <– Not true
“there is white privilege in Japan and there is anti-blackness in Japan, it’s just not exactly the same as in the US. The racial hierarchy is different.” <– Not true either.
もうさ、いい加減消えてほしいわ。

fraulein-jules peep this. Apparently what you and other hafus and myself have to say it not true. There is no anti-blackness in japan, nor is there racism. Honestly that’s a fucking laugh because anti-blackness is world wide, and Japan is not excluded. Just because we’re american really does not matter, you can not take away and or silence our experience, just from you doing so makes you a racist lmfaoo
Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism. Japan is not exempt of racism.
My best friend was in Japan for four months and within those four months she experienced prejudices and white privilege, like I really fucking loved her calling me and crying because she had a bus door slammed in her face…. she was not permitted on the bus for what other reason?? The white students and Japanese students were permitted onto the bus just fine but when it came to her there was an issue.. haha no racism in Japan though
Same best friend, speaks Japanese more fluently than I can, taking accelerated Japanese courses in Kyoto, but was treated as an elementary student and placed on a lower standard than the white students who could barely string a sentence together??
Best friend in Japan, constantly stared at. Which I don’t know if you know that but that is very rude.
Oh my favorite not racist incident that happened to her was, she was on the bus and there were two open seats on either side of her, so plenty room for the elder woman who came on to sit, but instead of sitting, the woman stares at her as if she’s doing something wrong, which last time I checked sitting down is not wrong, there was room for the woman to sit. Had there have been no more seats and then the old woman came, then yes she should have gotten up and offered it to the woman, we do that in the states too. Shocking I know. BUT because there was room for her to sit and she didn’t and she took to give her glares for no actual reason I’m writing that off as racism or some sort of prejudice, because why else would she feel the need to glare at her. my friend and this woman did not know one another and my friend had done nothing to this woman..
I mean honestly Yuuko, the experiences can go on and on but there is not racism in Japan right?
I mean cut the fuck up I guess
忌々しい..
-Mitsu
cool story bro.
no one said that racism doesn’t exist in Japan. It just isn’t the same as western context. Please fuck off with your American Imperialism.
kthnxbye
- Yuuko
Miss me me with the 2008 “cool story bro” garbage. “"American Imperialism”“ mnnn okay well I really hope you stretched before this reach. I can agree that it is not the same, in Japan there is no systematic racism but anti-blackness is world wide, that is undeniable, and you nor any other person can erase anyone’s experiences.
Hi,
That is not true. We do have systematic racism to ALL foreigners not just a particular group.
Anti-blackness? Who are you talking about when you say black? How do you know it’s world-wide? How does it affect each country?
When did I erase anyone’s experience? Talk about writing some generic bullshit that has nothing to do with my original ask.
Also, who the fuck are you?
- Yuuko
Okay, you’re not Black and Or Black/Japanese so I’m really done with what you have to say. “”How do you know it’s world-wide?””
Are you for real???? LMFAO ARE YOU REALLY FUCKING SERIOUS ???? I mean I really wouldn’t guess you would understand this because you are not black, obviously, but literally there are thousand of tumblr users here , world wide, not just from the states that share their experience with hatred for the brown/black/dark skin… like you have really got to be pulling my leg or you live under a fucking rock??? “”When did I erase anyone’s experience?””
She’s American. Please don’t listen to Americans talk about racism in Japan. Especially, when it comes to foreigners. “Many Japanese hate prejudice and racists, hate white privilege, and actively work for Japan to be better, because Japan is a diverse and ever-changing and often-squabbling country of 80 million people, contrary to the impression of us as ahistoric robots.” <– Not true “there is white privilege in Japan and there is anti-blackness in Japan, it’s just not exactly the same as in the US. The racial hierarchy is different.” <– Not true either.
fraulein-jules was born and raised in Japan and nowadays lives in the states, I’m sure she has had her share of trials and tribulations in Japan. Who are you to say she hasn’t ?? and because she’s seemingly American to you?? lIKE LMFAO yUUKO, ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID OR WHAT ???? I’M IN FUCKING TEARS LIKE THIS IS NOT REAL I KNOW IT’S NOT YOU REALLY FUCKING THOT
are they….really trying to say there isn’t any antiblack racism in japan meanwhile silencing actual mixed race black/japanese people AND using old 2009 phrases like “cool story bro” like…is this serious lmao
yikes
Oh god, it rannonBAKAMATSU STILL around and being a racist, anti-biracial, and anti-black, Japanese imperialist here? Oh wait, I shouldn’t be surprised because they are still the same scum from some years ago since I blocked them.
FYI from an actual Japanese person living in Japan here we DO have anti-blackness here! We STILL have stupid Japanese nationals that think dressing up in blackface and culturally appropriating Black culture is A-OKAY while dissing Black-Japanese and other African and Black-Americans. While they are doing THAT they are celebrating Black-Japanese athletes like Osaka Naomi and others (whose names I forgot, sorry...). And like, I guess the backlash that Ariana Miyamoto got when she won in a beauty pageant, as well as telling her story of how growing up she got racist comments thrown at her, is all ‘fake’ to you, huh?
Seriously, SCREW OFF you Japanese imperialist scum!
Don't know if you're aware of this, but Hayao Miyazaki has drawn a manga called "Otto Carius: Doromamire no Tora" based on the war memoir "Tiger im Schlamm" by nazi tank commander Otto Carius. I haven't read the manga (can't get my hands on it), but the original memoir was published by an infamous nazi publisher in germany. It could be that the manga is critical of it and recognizes it as propaganda, but from what I gather from excerpts and comments etc. it doesn't really seem like it.
My immediate, immediate reaction was ‘there’s no way this exists’. My second reaction became ‘there’s no way this isn’t critical of it - Miyazaki is an extremely wellknown pacifist’.
My third, and final reaction, was oh my god he actually met and interviewed the nazi in question for his manga. I. I am blown away (in a horrific, terrible way), and completely dumbstruck by this. Hayao Miyazaki, because he was interested in tank warfare, not only wrote a manga based on a nazi memoir, he did so with the nazis as the god damn protagonists and interviewed the nazi himself.
Holy fucking SHIT.
I. I cannot express how deeply fucked up and genuinely devastated I am by this turn of events, and immediately rescind ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ as a recommendation, cancel the ‘Nausicaa’ recommendation that I was going to make today, and am taking every single Miyazaki work off of my watch list. I’m currently unsure if I’ll take the non-Miyazaki Ghibli works off my list (I don’t… THINK I will), but Miyazaki’s works are definitely a no-go.
I’m. Holy shit. Half of me wants to continue to live in blissful ignorance but. I. I cannot even remotely ignore this.
I just. I need a minute to compose myself before I do anything else.
tbh I’m not surprised given that he directed The Wind Rises, which holds an extremely idyllic view on the life of Jiro Horikoshi and lol doesn’t talk about Japanese colonialism over Korea, China, the Philippines, etc at all
There's an enormous difference between animal rights and conservation.
I stopped buying Lush products a while ago, largely because of this issue (I didn’t want to give money to charities that use fear-mongering, hand-wringing anthropomorphism to actively fight biodiversity), and their treatment of the Little Fireface Project only solidified this. Now Lush has sponsored a conference whose end goal is essentially dead elephants, whether they want to admit that or not.
I’m sure they wouldn’t admit it, but their goals- no captive breeding, no zoo care- are hugely problematic from a conservation standpoint because- let’s face it- there’s no way to ensure elephant survival in the wild at this moment in time. Not when there’s such a global demand for ivory, and not when their habitats are so valuable to developers, timber companies, and mining companies.
This of course brings up a really salient ethical issue- if elephants can’t survive long-term in the wild, should we be “ark” breeding them, trying to preserve them in captivity for future generations? Unfortunately, that’s not the question these groups ask. Their “solution” is to just take the elephants from “bad” captivity (zoos) and put them in “good” captivity (sanctuaries).
However, these sanctuaries aren’t actually all that safe for elephants.
They’re not the African savannah minus people, where the elephants can just run free. There’s still barns. There’s still fences. There’s still tuberculosis- zoos can have that too, but zoos have better vet care and actually train the animals to participate in their own healthcare- which means that vet checks are less stressful. Sanctuaries, even the ones that do some vet training, still can’t really disinfect their grounds, and they can’t get rid of that TB bacteria- which can stick around for absolute ages. There’s still risks, and I don’t think these free the elephants people actually realize that. It’s like with cetaceans- the answer isn’t “free ‘em all,” nor is it “captivity is the ONLY SOLUTION.” Animal conservation, especially for species like elephants that have a pretty good wild population, is all about middle roads. There’s got to be a middle ground, and animal rights totally misses that. They’re so obsessed with the idea of “freedom” that they don’t actually stop to think about what freedom really means for these animals. Humans are the most successful invasive species anywhere in the world, and we’re not just going to go away because a bunch of animal rights activists think it’d be good. Even if they do successfully get elephants out of zoos, what good will that do? It won’t stop poaching, it’ll just make good science more difficult to do.
But animal rights people don’t actually care about science. They might think they care about individual animals, but they’re totally missing the point at a species/ecosystem level. Closing zoos will do absolutely nothing positive for wild animals- if anything, it’ll just make things worse. But that’s what these groups want- they still think zoos are animal jails and are willfully ignorant about the actual science of animal conservation. It’s not just about warm fuzzy feelings and the souls of animals- it’s about making logical, rational decisions to protect genetic diversity in these animal populations. Putting all those “poor abused zoo animals” in sanctuaries is not how this is done, and if you refuse to understand that despite the piles and piles of evidence, if you’re fundamentally anti-science, if you really think that feels are more important than reals… well, you’re part of the problem, then, aren’t you. It’s 2018. We’re wreaking havoc on our environment and our ecosystems, and without the careful application of scientific processes and knowledge, we are going to lose these things. We are going to lose the rainforests, we are going to lose millions of species- but hey, at least poor Dumbo got to live out his final years suffering from tuberculosis while somebody who thinks elephants actually talk to them dictated his care.
I’m gonna close with a quote from someone who was at the conference, because it’s kind of ridiculous, but I think proves a point.
“But what, at the end of these three, informative, tear filled, days, did we all come away with?
Did we put together a white board filled with bullet points and action steps on how to free every last one of the elephants around the world that are rotting away before our very eyes?
Nope, not even close.
But what we did achieve is something, in my view, even more important.
We listened to the elephants.”
We listened to the elephants. This is not science. This is not conservation. This is homeopathy at best. It’s not how you “save” elephants. How you save them is through careful captive breeding, making actual efforts to preserve wild elephant habitat with a minimum of human interference, studying their reproduction, diseases, biology, and other things that can impact reproductive success, and work with local communities doing boots-on-the-ground work to help develop sustainable infrastructure and jobs so that elephant ivory is less appealing to the communities that coexist with elephants. Taking elephants out of zoos and putting them in sanctuaries is not at all how to preserve a species.
Elephants are not people. They have extremely different needs, and to assume that a bunch of people who “heard the call of the elephants” but have… no actual scientific, medical, biological, or relevant zoological experience can somehow know how to conserve them better than people who actually study them is fucking ridiculous.
Which is why I’m still not gonna support Lush.
I’ve been saying for ages LUSH is anti-zoo and does not support actual conservation, but instead animal rights initiatives.
LUSH gave 5000 dollars (as the highest tier sponsor!) to a conference where PETA and Zoocheck and the Non-Human Rights project were major panelists.
And now they’re running a charity pot for Free the Oregon Zoo Elephants - the group that is, as described on the charity pot label, “working to end captivity, breeding, and importation of elephants at zoos and beyond.” Well, thanks, LUSH, for actually putting your stance in writing for the world to see.
What the FUCK
“But animal rights people don’t actually care about science. They might think they care about individual animals, but they’re totally missing the point at a species/ecosystem level.“
HUGE point about a lot of ‘I love the animals’ types. They’re very into the animals as individuals but have 0 scope for the bigger picture (which means they aren’t actually good at caring for the individuals, either)
Please reblog.
C'mon it’s not only pride month it’s indigenous peoples month!!! My people!!!! Could the president honestly fuck off?
Born in Japan, Gursewak Singh considers himself Japanese. The government doesn't. But it offers children like him a chance to stay - if their parents leave.
MATSUDO, Japan – Gursewak Singh composed his first letter to Japan’s justice minister when he was 10 years old. Almost seven years later, he is still writing. In all, he has written more than 50 letters.
He has yet to get a reply.
The letters, all written in Japanese, have become more eloquent as Gursewak has grown up. But the message is unchanged – a plea to the Japanese authorities to recognize him and his family as residents in a country where he and his younger twin siblings were born and his parents, natives of India, have lived since the 1990s.
“My family loves Japan,” Gursewak wrote to then-Justice Minister Keiko Chiba on March 6, 2010. “We really don’t want to go back to India. Please give us visas.”
In his most recent letter, composed in August to the immigration authorities, he wrote: “The Immigration Bureau tells us to go back to India. Why do the three of us have to go back to our parents’ country, even though we were born and raised in Japan?”
Gursewak’s parents, who are Sikhs, fled to Japan from India in the 1990s. For several years, they lived without visas under the radar of the authorities until they were put on a status known as “provisional release” in 2001. It means they can stay in Japan as long as their asylum application is under review.
But it also means they can’t work, they don’t have health insurance and they need permission to travel outside the prefecture where they live. They are also subject to unannounced inspections by immigration officers at their home and they face detention at any time. There are currently some 4,700 people with this status living in Japan.
Gursewak, who has never left Japan, has inherited his parents’ provisional release status and all the restrictions that go with it. That fate has exposed him and more than 500 other children who share his predicament to lives of perpetual uncertainty. They can go to government-run schools, where tuition is largely free, but university is out of reach for most because they and their parents aren’t allowed to work and so can’t afford the fees. These children, many of whom are asylum seekers, will soon face a stark choice between forced unemployment and working illegally.
“Since I was born I’ve only ever interacted with Japanese people,” said Gursewak, who is now 17, speaks the language with native fluency and considers himself Japanese. “I don’t get why Japan won’t accept me.”
The immigration authorities are unmoved. The fact that these children were born in Japan, or arrived at a young age, doesn’t afford them any special status, officials say. “They are under deportation orders, so they are illegal,” said Naoaki Torisu, a Justice Ministry official overseeing immigration issues. “They have no legal right to stay in Japan.”

I wish I lived in Japan. At least all the women there are high class, appreciates anime, are submissive to men, are completely loyal, and they always wear those cute schoolgirl clothes.
I’d hate to be the one to tell this guy that there’s a huge difference between real life Japanese females and anime school girls.
Have you been to Japan? Have you studied Japanese culture as extensively as I have? I have studied Japanese culture and history for several years. I’m in a higher position of authority to tell you I know how Japanese females are. They are futuristic compared to America and are far more advanced than the rest of the world. That’s why I want a Japanese female of my own. I have watched every anime I could find to fully understand and appreciate their culture. Just stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.
“A japanese female”… im telling you most girls in my hometown would rather cut their own hands off than get stuck with you lmao.
Oh gross, a fetishizing Japanophile, EW! Let me get the Kinchol and keep them away from us!
1. Mombot isn’t Japanese (or a woman), he’s a white American dude who assumed the persona of a Japanese housewife during GamerGate. That’s why all his tweets are made during hours where few Japanese people are tweeting and he literally only ever tweets about shit in the Anglosphere, because he doesn’t actually know Japanese and obviously couldn’t even attempt to try talking about the Japanese gaming scene.
2. The argument he’s making is total bullshit. Firstly, there’s no shortage of musicians capable of playing that instrument, it’s not some lost art or anything. Secondly, his ‘recognition as a master’ was bought for $2,100 from an American company. It’s literally just a certificate that he uses to help land himself gigs.
3. The reason he was blocked is because literally any time he quote-tweets anybody and disagrees with them then they get hundreds of manchildren threatening to rape and murder them in their DMs and mentions. Big shocker that she would block him along with the countless people he caused to dogpile her.
But hey, don’t let that get in the way of feeling like this random Asian woman on twitter was totally owned for criticizing a massive corporation’s decision to hire a white man to play a Japanese instrument in a Japanese outfit for their Japanese game that takes place in Japan.
lol is Ethan out here pretending to be a Japanese housewife again? Jesus, he’s embarrassing. Boots is certainly not like, some last Samurai White Savior that’s keeping the art of Shakuhachi alive. There’s a couple hundred (and thousands unrecorded on this site because they’re firmly based in Japan and/or haven’t put their information down) people to choose from that isn’t Boots. Saying some dude is one of the few Masters left alive needs some citations, but Ethan gives… none. He only ever gives the fact that Boots is a Master, which is fair enough, but he’s one of a couple thousands of masters.
@my friends in anglosphere: I’m begging you stop falling for digital yellowface and realize that the person that barely googles better than you might not actually be from Japan unless they actually show competency in language on a conversational level (just as no one would type like they do on a paper, not a lot of people in Japan types in rigid ways they’re taught in typical Japanese classes) or knowledge of Japanese culture that’s backed up by some book readings. There’s a reason why I always give sources in forms of peer-reviewed academic books in English to ya’ll so ya’ll know I’m not lying.
while we’re on the topic of mombot i feel like pointing out that asshat also made fun of an unsuspecting artist’s chubby/fat headcanon art of some persona characters and made them into a meme. & iirc made a fucking tirade over the ‘tumblr nose’ which has been a dead fucking horse for Years now
earlier than that, approx. a year before that i vaguely remember he also came onto someone’s thread about how shady & fucked up the idol industry was and tried to defend it and shoot down the OP of said thread
The reputation of controversial TV program “News Joshi” (News girl) was dealt a further blow on Marc
The reputation of controversial TV program “News Joshi” (News girl) was dealt a further blow on March 8 as a media watchdog reprimanded its broadcaster for human rights violations by showing an episode.
The Broadcast and Human Rights Committee of the Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization (BPO) said the program defamed and violated the human rights of Shin Sugok, a co-representative of citizens’ human rights group Norikoenet (International network to overcome hate speech and racism).
“I am very glad that the human rights of minority people were discussed,” Shin, a third-generation ethnic Korean resident in Japan, said after the panel of the BPO, which deals with complaints about TV and other programs, announced its verdict.
The show’s broadcaster, Tokyo Metropolitan Television Broadcasting Corp. (MXTV), and its production company, DHC Television Co., have been in hot water since an episode aired in January 2017 that branded protesters opposed to the construction of U.S. military helipads in Higashi, Okinawa Prefecture, as “terrorists.”
The BPO panel issued a “recommendation,” its harshest warning, that MXTV should make further efforts to prevent a recurrence.
The committee recognized that the “News Joshi” program presented two falsehoods as facts.
One was that Shin is a behind-the-scenes fixer, a radical, a repeat criminal offender, and a professional protester against U.S. military bases. The other was that Shin pays a 50,000 yen ($469) daily allowance to people who participate in the protests.
Shin plans to request an apology from MXTV and for a correction of the program’s contents. She will also ask DHC Television, an affiliate of major cosmetics maker DHC Corp., to pull the program from the Internet, where it can still be viewed.
MXTV responded to the ruling the same day, saying, “We will accept the BPO panel’s recommendation sincerely and make efforts to broadcast reliable programs.”
The broadcaster said on March 1 that it will stop airing “News Joshi.” But DHC Television said on March 5 that it will continue creating the program for other media platforms, such as YouTube, satellite TV or local broadcasting companies.
News Joshi was such a trash (read: TERRIBLE) program where it was the GUYS doing the talking and not the women. Also I think this was the program where it was trying to make it that Japan doesn't have a sexism and misogyny problem for women and only listed women in government power ONCE OR TWICE in the year they were in as some kind of derailing point or something. True to word, I haven’t seen this program for the last 3 months from the Tokyo MX channel and good riddance to it.
Before he became Marvel’s newest Editor-In-Chief, C.B. Cebulski, a white man, spent months writing as “Akira Yoshida” in order to circumvent Marvel’s company policy that barred staff employees from working in editorial.
Really? It’d be a shame if everyone kept circulated this story and reminded people until he leaves.
Yup, sure would be a shame…
One thing i will forever be angry about is how white people not only forced(by violence and genocide)the non binary ,non straight people of the countries they invaded, to conform to the binary genders and binary conforming sexual identities they approved of,but they also tried their best to erase the proof of any existence of such identities by rewriting,and re-explaining their history by publishing books and academic papers which straightwashed,and binarywashed the non binary conforming gendered and non straight people of those cultures.
They erased a large chunk of the non cis and non straight history of the cultures of those countries and when THEIR countries developed their own ways to describe non cis and non straight identities,they bragged about how much “progressive” and “open minded” they were from those countries to “realize” that not everyone was straight and how “third world countries” are still stuck in the backward times of preventing gay people from getting married etc etc.
This is just so so fucked up and horrible.
Kamen Norida was a comedic parody of Kamen Rider from the 1980s.
This parody was popular enough to warrant a sequel called Kamen Norida V2.
Oh my god, this is really nostalgic! I only saw one episode of this, but it was hilarious! The series of Norida was actually done by the comedy duo called ‘Tonneruzu’ (Tunnels) on their comedy variety show called ‘Tonneruzu no Minnasan no okagedesu’ (later adding ‘shita’ to their title so it’s Minnasan no okagedeshita).
I remember the segment where Norida tries to do his transformation pose but gets kicked in the face a lot until he finally turns into the hero. And he went up against a Clock Tower monster during the Hokkaido segment by having a beer drinking contest against him! I really should check this series out again sometime... (And as a testament to how REALLY popular he was at the time, at my relative’s house in Sendai, we still have Norida on the bathroom wall).
Me: *watches news here in Japan*
The news: *small segment about a certain woman (I think she’s some author???) coming out as lesbian with her girlfriend* Me: Hell YEAH! More lesbian represe--- Waaaaaiiittt a minute... Now that I think about this, where are the announcements of guys coming out with their boyfriends??? Why does something tell me that this country is okay with wlw but not equally with mlm? Hmmm...
don’t do this, this is fucked up
not to mention someone who’s on a primarily vegan or vegetarian diet and has been that way for a long time has a body unused to eating meat, especially red meat like beef. if your body isn’t used to red meat it can do a SERIOUS NUMBER to your digestive system. it is not fun, it’s hurtful and painful, it can make them REALLY sick even if they aren’t vegan or vegetarian for allergy-related reasons.
don’t do this. do not feed people food without them knowing 100% of what’s in it. it’s uncool and you are a complete and total asshole if you do.
Ain’t even a vegan but this is fucked up
I have heard of people sneaking pork into tje dishes of muslims or jews do NOT feed people food they do not want to eat for whatever reason. Even if you don’t harm their body you might cause a serious psychological issue! You are literally harming someone’s body autonomy it doesn’t matter if you think vegans are annoying or whatever. Don’t fucking do this.
I have been a pescetarian since I was 10 years old. I’m now 27. When I was in college about 5 years ago, I decided I could eat pizza that had pepperoni on it if I removed the pepperoni (Dominos screwed up our order, we were supposed to get 1 plain pizza I could eat but they gave us 2 pepperoni instead and me being the socially anxious person I am, I didn’t wanna make a fuss about it). I got so sick. SO SICK. So much for not making a fuss, my friends almost took me to the hospital, I had to convince them not to. Just from the oils of the pepperoni seeping into the pizza. I didn’t even eat the meat itself, but I learned that day that cross contamination is a bitch. And I still eat fish, unlike a vegan, just not red meat or poultry/fowl. I knew already that I had bad reactions to meat by that point in time, like from the time the Chinese restaurant gave me an egg roll instead of a spring roll by mistake and after only 2 bites I realized the issue and I still got ridiculously sick (from 2 bites of an egg roll containing pork), but I didn’t think I’d get sick from pizza that had no meat on it at all. And yet I did. So imagine if someone gave me a real hamburger. One bite would be enough to create hours of agony for me. Now imagine if someone gave a long-time vegan, who does not eat fish, a hamburger. And that vegan ate the whole hamburger. Vegan culture pisses me the fuck off too but holy shit that can literally put someone in the hospital you sick motherfuckers.
Honestly this. Like leave people’s food alone? You don’t know why someone doesn’t want to eat something and you don’t need to know that just respect people’s food wishes.
Oh hell no. In four months I will have been a vegetarian for a full decade. 10 years. If someone was to give me meat, I would notice, but that’s beside the point, it would make me so unbelievably sick.
Restaurants aren’t the best with cross contamination or even cooking on the same grill with meat, and when they do that, I still get sick. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone else.
But those were accidents on their part. To have someone do it on purpose? Fuck that. I would lose my mind.
Don’t EVER fuck with someone’s food. My big sis has celiac disease and is dairy intolerant, and I have *seen* her balled up on the couch in agony from some fucking restaurant food where the cook dismissed her condition as “not that serious.” If I ever caught anyone doing this they’d catch hell and then my hands. It ain’t funny.
I have celiac and I went to a PF Chang’s once, ordered from the “Gluten Free” menu, and told the waitress it was celiac, that I would be sick if there was gluten. When it came out, I asked again, and was assured it was made with GF soy sauce and there was no cross contamination. Friends, this was extremely untrue. I was sick for three days. Couldn’t eat, could’t sleep, couldn’t get off the bathroom floor sick for three days. When people tell you they don’t or can’t eat something, BELIEVE THEM. And also, never go to PF Chang’s with a food allergy.
Do white Americans realize their ancestors were illegal immigrants to literally every part of the fucking planet except Europe?
also dont stan shinzo abe or his wife, prime minister + first lady of japan lmao.
last year yall were like “ohoho, mrs. abe feigned her knowledge of the english language to avoid talkin to donald trump!!!!!1 my kween!!″
shinzo abe is a conservative right wing nationalist in japan and in 2015, tried “apologizing” to south korea for their use of comfort women during WWII, by offering $8.3 million to the victims, BUT asking south korea to get rid of a memorial to these comfort women, that sits outside of the japanese embassy in seoul.
south korea’s president moon asked for japan to make another apology, in 2018 because…..duh. shinzo abe replied by saying “this issue was resolved in 2015″.
he truly does not care for these victims and continuously visits the yasukuni shrine, controversial for honoring war criminals of japan during WWII.
at this rate, the comfort women survivors will die out and there will be no one to directly apologize to.
