I always wonder why Pixy, and to a lesser extant, weaboos, develop this fetish for Japan. I mean, I get the fluctuation of manga and anime BS, but places like Italy, Ireland, Greece, Peru, and S. Korea I would think have the same "edgy exotic" points these people desperately crave. Plus, the culture is probably more accessible to them, and it would be easier to pass off as any one of the aforementioned.
I just don't get it, there has to be more to this than just the anime that attracts these people to glorious Nippon. It seems kinda like how a lot of autistic lol cows have this deep fascination with Sonic.
I think part of it is the desire for a fantasy world, an actual fantasy of pretend, and Japan seems to offer or at least allow that more than any other place. What gets exported (and noticed) by the west is an impression of being a haven of imaginary worlds and pageantry and pretend and happiness. People don't elaborate costumes for parties or just to hang out with their friends! Everything is cute! There's gay manga/anime everywhere so they must totally love teh ghei! And foreigners because they fetishize westerners almost worse than westerners fetishize Asians!
There are people who fetishize Korea the same way, just not so many. Same for European countries, parilticularly the UK and Ireland. I call them Europeeaboos.
But Japan does reign supreme. I think it's that promise of a fantasy land where anything goes and is okay.
