in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with \u201cit\u2019s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.\u201d This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We\u2019d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn\u2019t a real guy I can invite to a party.
