Haven’t watched anything anime related for ages… Never watched initial d. But its possible the nationalist thing is accurate (also: what’s the deal of portrayals on the regular of Germans in their shows?). Regarding the whole over the top “violence” and other stuff, there is for sure a difference in cultures here. I find funny for instance on anime we have the mega villains and all that, but in contrast, if you leave a bike unattended in the middle of Tokyo there is a big chance you still see it next day. Of course there is the whole yakuza thing and scamming tourists, but I would argue criminality is just very different. As for why people lean into sometimes what we consider extreme content, maybe is just an exposure thing? When people are exposed to different realities they tend to be either more or less inclined to see depictions of it or complete opposites.

This is an interesting take. I’ve been to Japan as a tourist once, and I can tell it was probably one of my best trips I’ve ever made (the sheer amount of novelty and getting around the people was really cool), and I can attest the people were very nice to me. But I can also tell, if I was part of the work force, the sentiment would be different. I did never see signs against Chinese people anywhere BTW.
As for the “China bad” part. Check how people brigade on shitter to “cancel people out” (very definition of cancel culture) and you quickly see that some people LOVE the mob mentality. This is also ehay is going on by people going after stuff such as dji for no reason (but I will stay straight up, I am not sure if I would trust network equipment easily. Same for me actually applies to cisco as well)

This was some great insight. I know some countries out there culturally the parents are “ashamed” they have disabled kids and simply the kids do not get out of the house often, but I was not aware how things can be on an institution level.

Depends. Some women cannot have enough milk production, some have over production. It’s a bit of a gamble most of the times. In countries like Brazil there is a sort of system where is possible to donate milk in case of over production, and in case you don’t have or not enough, you can have some of it (not sure about the details, but for me this sounds great).
As for people saying formula is better than breastmilk, believe or not, Nestlé is to blame for this. Back in the day they touted that all over the place, and at some point, they got penalties for saying such bs. The fun part? They are using the EXACT same tactics on some under developed countries so they can sell more. Quite frankly, Nestlé is really up there on companies to despise ( Exxon is possibly the top one, but Nestlé is not really that behind)
