i noticed i'm "calmer" when i wears my beloved Cornelia than i am with any other image (go figure) apparently my 2D "waifu" is the only thing that keeps me at "peace" if you will (how weird yet soothing....)
Don't be knocking Itasha, that shit is sick. Every single J-car mag nowadays has at least one itasha in it.UncommonOtaku said:
I must disagree,... Japan does embrace individualism to a certain degree.
While the school system does try to mold the sheep to some semblance of domesticated conformity.
It forces the true rebels to find their inner passions to bust out of the standards of society. Without these "rebels" we wouldn't be graced with all these indulgent psudo-sub-cultures that otakus of many walks of life enjoy.
Like motorcycle otaku, and those (shivers) otaku that adorne their wheels with moe hotties.
Then there are the electronics otaku, and their passion for exotic toys that have driven the electronics industry the world over.And the naughty otaku and the porn biz.

Do you guys really think western schools encourage individuality? The west needs just as many robots as everywhere else, and although Japan may be a bit different, we're all doing the same thing.

i definitely don't think they encourage individuality. but they don't force students to conform either. they are just indifferent.
too much regulation for anything to happen anyway.
I wonder are the girls there beautiful and the boys handsome?
Because traditional norms and values such as fine-line social hierarchy and the corresponding formalities are very important in Japan, I don't see why schools should tell students to challenge them. I'm sure the Japanese have just as much individuality as any other developed nation and are certainly no sheep that accept everything without questioning it though.

Thank you, but Japanese are still better looking than Koreans. Hope SK gets pwned by NK.

This times 10. This point always seem to get ignored.
