Do you prefer Chinese, Japanese or Korean culture?

[76561199586008601]

I prefer Japanese culture, but also i like the other cultures as well.

If you don't like any of these, just ignore this thread.

Chinese culture: wiping out whole species cause their powdered body parts are "gonna fix their pp problems"
Japanese culture: cartoons either ridiculously gory or about women raped (often by tentacled monsters)
Korean culture: K-pop

Yeah, I choose none. :P

But there are tentacles who did some interactions to males as well 🤷‍♀️

Especially since in Asia I had seen that there it is normal to work from 3 a.m. to 9 p.m., I don't know if you can imagine, and they have no days off, so in theory they have days off but if their boss asks them to help them they do it.

Actually, that's not normal in the Asian country that I live in. The only businesses here that work that late are the clubs.

Japanese by far.
I've always liked Japan. First time I went many many years ago I had an idea what to expect, read up about it, and was shockingly stunned to find out it was better then I expected.

Many people also find South Korea to be better than they expect it to be. South Korea gets a lot of negative opinions because of North Korea that gets most of the attention. Also, there are hostile neighbors that like to make things up about the country. It's their way of dividing the US's allies. To be honest, South Korea is one of the wealthiest and fun places that I've ever been in, and I've been to a lot of countries. I'm originally from the US. I feel safe walking around South Korea even late at night. It's the same with Japan. Think of how Japan and the Japanese are depicted in the non-Japanese movies. And think of how little or at all those depictions really represent Japan. It's the same with many different countries.

Before the Mongol leader decided to invade Japan, both Korea and China lost many of their people from the Mongol invasion and occupation. They weren't allied to Mongolia. They were under control of Mongolia.


And it's obvious that the ones who posted the misinformation have never been to those countries.

Depends on what people are saying, frankly.

It ain't racist if they just are unaware or misinformed - racism is a very deliberate intention, so don't misuse that term.

As far as it goes many people in the west do get asian culture round their necks. I certainly don't pretend to know much about it, as even today it's sometimes pretty closed off and different, especially China.

But if you're instead referring to negative comments about China then that ain't racist or misinformed either. China has a SHED load of problems.

From when the communist party took over and the "moderates" left for Taiwan, Mao caused some massive howlers for decisions. From making people go into the "great leap forward" by doing outrageous things like metallurgy instead of agriculture, to destroying ancient cultures and buildings.

These have had massive impact today. It's a major reason why Chinese metal is often garbage comparatively, and why Cha Bu Duo construction holds sway.

So in that regard, if you mean that's misinformed then no, it demonstrably isn't.

If you've been to South Korea or Japan, you'd realize how ridiculous a lot of the claims in this thread are. A lot of the comments are so ridiculous that they seem to be sarcastic. And take another look at the quotes. I'm not the one who said "racist," although a lot of the comments made in this thread are very ignorant and offensive. It really doesn't affect me. I'm just trying to help out by informing people. A lot of the ridiculous comments made here (particularly on South Korea and Japan) are either less than 1% about those countries or totally made up. A few of them are clearly deliberate and it makes me wonder what their real intentions in this forum are. And it's not just the Asian countries that get this treatment. We all know that many of the Western countries are victims of this, too. People need to remember that some of the comments made here would hurt themselves than the people they target. It reveals a lot about the people who made these comments. What's fortunate for them is that they're anonymous here.

There are more Western restaurants in Seoul than there are Asian restaurants in a Western city. I also see a lot of European (particularly German, British and Italian) cars in South Korea.

I prefer Gnome culture; they have the most festive hats.

But the Troll culture is more dominant, and it seems to be the original intent of this thread.

Come to think of it, maybe you don't see those posts because you have them on your ignore list. This thread has many responses and I wasn't talking about yours.

Honestly none of them, their working culture is terrible, the writting of these three languages is objectively worse and unnecesarily complicated and they are just too traditional which is clearly is not something good either...

Their education systems are just too strict for no reason and idk why japanese schools have so many silly rules (like not allowing to paint your hair or pigtails) idk why students are not protesting at this point

And going to the psychologist in there is still seen as Taboo...

Hell, I even heard terrible stories of South Korea and China about hidden cameras in rooms and so on...

Like social pressure is just too much there... The hierachy system is just too much, like they prioritize elders than young ppl on everything...

I am very aware that all cultures have their pros and cons, but in this case is just unacceptable, the cons are more than the pros and the cons are so bad is imposible to ignore them

For once I completely agree with you, they live under an armada of rules, whether it's for eating, waving, or going to the toilet there are rules, and for those who are at school, A single day's absence is seen as something terrible and can have serious repercussions, which is why in many manga the hero goes to school even if the world is under the threat of a monster or he's fighting a dread enemy, he'll never miss a day of class because that's the culture over there.

In the end, this abuse of over-discipline acts as a kind of stifling of the individual, which is why in Asia nobody wants to talk about politics or negative things out of fear of being frowned upon by society if they say the wrong thing.
Asians are also among the most submissive to the authority of their government.

Oh yeah, Japan for example has rules for eating, rules for sitting in a taxi (as for who sits where) and even rules as for where to sit in the meeting room (as for who sits where...)

Even the sitting on their knees is apparently an ancient tradition ppl used to do to show respect to the shogun or something like that ,how are ppl not uncomfortable sitting like that??!!!
Assuming they do it often ,which pretty sure a considerable amount of ppl there do...

This is clearly the best examples of why following traditions most of the time is just a bad idea...

You need to expand your culture v:

[Tsubame ⭐]

Just culture or the country structure as a whole?

Anyway, this is highly subjective.

All three countries are culturally very closely related to each other. Japan and Korea imported A LOT of Chinese customs in the past millenia.

Chinese culture itself is not a single entity, given the large size of the country. Southern Chinese culture is distinct from Northern China. Not to mention Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, that are different on their own ways.

As for the countries as a whole, I would stick with Japan, small enough to easy to explore it on its whole, yet large enough to provide stark contrasts in many ways possible - from the sub-tropical florests at Ishigaki to the cold northern Hokkaido areas - great transit, pedestrian friendly, anime, hot springs, and urban infrastructure, especially the most friendly rail fan infrastructure and community of the world.

If just culture, still Japan, solely due to its friendly rail fanning community.

Should be obvious but there are always people that treat their opinions as fact, so this is there to emphasize the point.

Yeah I know that about South Korea.

I met quite a few South Koreans and had drinks with them while being in Japan. All I'm saying is that I don't know enough about the culture to comment. I need to know A LOT about somewhere before I comment - I'm probably a bit over zealous in this matter.

Neither. I prefer American culture.

Hard decision between JP and China, but I think JP has the edge. They're both great cultures nonetheless. Then followed by KR

JP > CN > KR
