discussion Curious about Japan? I can answer your questions.

[gestved]

How is Japan so based to the point that they launch Alex in Street Fighter 6, and now he is married to his adoptive sister, which is his biological second degree cousin? How common is for people to marry their cousins in Japan? Is there any social backlash?

I'll suppose it's not common at all for them to marry their sisters, even if that's pretty much an japanese media trope

Hi, lokoralwosod-san!

What can you tell me about Japanese humor and how it differs from Western humor?
Japanese people tend to come across as serious, always mindful of politeness, and generally quite uptight.
I don’t mean that as an insult!
Are there comedy shows there like we have here, and do people tell jokes in Japan?
If so, what kind are they?
Maybe you know a few and would be willing to share them.
And are there also dirty jokes like we have?

First of all sarcasm doesnt exits lol, when i try to make jokes with sarcasm, they just take it serios and question me.

there are a lot of comedy shows on the tv like those you see on social media with crazy stuff. also a lot of improv or stand-ups. i like
Yurie Collins and katsura sunshine.

For jokes, im not really good at them. there is this on 母ははははと笑った。which is read like this; hahahahahahatowaratta. (My mother laughed, ‘hahaha.) for english speaker no meaning whatsoever but when read in japanese its funny
or to old people, Instead of トイレ(toire(　i say お川や(o-kawaya(river)) which is very old way of saying toilet and it always make them laugh.
there are others i know but it just doesnt make sense lol.
i dont know dirty jokes but there are names given to type girls i find it funny: jirai kei (means landmine girls) or menhara (mentally unstable basically)

I actually have no idea, but I have never heard of someone getting married to their cousin or their sibling. I will ask and reply in the future.

大人のコンビニM’s 上野店​

Wairudowan Uenoameyokoten​

to find no pan places search this on maps apps- ーパン喫茶 it will give you results lol

Hi I might just be silly, but 2 things. Can you dm me those links because I can’t click on them here. Second, when I search that pan term, I only see bread cafes. Am I doing something wrong

This is incredible - I am going to Japan later this year and it is so difficult to find answers to pervy questions online. I've heard that no-pan restaurants exist (servers don't wear panties and there are mirrored floors) but I have no idea how to find one.
Also, besides Pop Life M's Adult Megastore, what are good sex shops to go to in Akihabara?

Wait what? I didn't know such thing exist but damn, I need this here too

how are the nsfw fes? Did u go to any

 

[Daddy9Inches]

I heard that incest is legal. Is that true?

 

[SilentHunter]

Thank you for your generous offer, but I'm more interested in Chinese cultural traditions. All other East Asian traditions originate from China. From Japanese, I love Japanese poetry, hardly anything else.

 

[lokoralwosod]

depends on what you mean. Marriage is illegal but consensual sexual acts is technically legal

[lokoralwosod]

so, about the news on blacks in japa

which news? lol

 

[HTYYHRK]

I went to Japan recently and something that struck me was that Hiroshima airport had a piano in the lobby for anyone to use. That would not happen in America.
My hotel also had karaage at it's breakfast bar, which tasted great even if it's probably not great for my waistline

 

[hesomelojelo]

Hey!

I'm assuming that you had to learn Japanese. I originally tried using duolingo but have eventually shifted towards the guide on learnjapanese.moe. Do you have an personal recommendations for learning the language? Thanks!
