/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I like Starcraft

>>6896597
But Starcraft is an american product.

I meant more historical things.
modern Korea is just a less ghetto US/JP hybrid.

Oh, haven't read that series in a while.

>>6896607
Korea made it a sport.

>>6896631
tis' what I'm doing now.

GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY

What's this series called? I'm interested.

>wishes it got the recognition for its economic growth that Japan and China did
>worships video games as a legitimate sport
>Insane institutionalized rote-memorization educational system
>Girls doll themselves up in heavy makeup, designer clothes, and the vast majority want or already have plastic surgery. It's socially accepted and mainstream.
>Hypersensitive to negative depictions of its country or people

It's pretty much the bipolar OCD country of the far east

it's odd, but on /jp/ anything is normal.

>>6896651
Indeed. Korea's got some fucked up Bipolar OCD shit.

I used to be in the K-pop fandom, but I fell out of it because the fans were batshit insane. I went back to Jpop.

Thanks man.

OP here, dating a Korean. Meeting her family when I go there in July.
I was planning on some subtle "dear leader" jokes, but by the sound of things, if I do that I'll never get married.

>>6896657
Oh wow wtf. If you know what's good for you, don't ever do that!

Koreans are some of the most easily butthurt people. Also, their culture is respect-centric and rude at the same time. Bipolar shit indeed.

do do it chu, its tru tru tru tru its chu

>>6896672
My girlfriend laughs at the jokes, but I wasn't sure if the general populace would enjoy it as much as I.
damn, at least Korean is an easy language.

I must rethink my strategy to impress her parents.
help me /jp/, you're my only hope!

>>6896679
Wrong board. For culture, go to /int/. (Or /trv/?

Korean culture isn't even nominally legacy board-related.

I'm from the Philippines. Lots of Korean immigrants here.

A lot of them come off as arrogant dickheads. The Japanese immigrants, although much lesser in number, are better to deal with. I've experienced being an English tutor for both and Koreans aren't the easiest to get along with. If there's one good thing, they sometimes give me kimchi, and it tastes really good.

Eh, don't really know about it. Mom wanted me to learn it because it's part of my history and whatnot but I didn't really want to.

>>6896683
I posted it here because I am a shut in.
I don't think they would understand my plight as much as people similar to me would.
We're engaged, but only us and a modest circle of friends know this; we'll come out about it after I've met her family.

>>6896686
>they sometimes give me kimchi, and it tastes really good
Holy fuck dude, what did you do to your taste buds?

>>6896679
Do you have any familiarity with the language itself? It's been a small interest for me but I never had such free time as to begin studying, I did bookmark this site though.

>>6896703
Nothing, bro. But then again, my taste in food is fucked up. I guess even sense of taste is subjective.

>>6896712
what a coincidence, that's currently my homepage.
she's teaching me over webcam, and I'm trying to learn some independently.

I saved this for word meanings and usage; I only just started learning 2 weeks ago.

>I'm funneling all of my usable money towards my korea trip
>only need enough to get by.
If I could get sessions, I would.

>>6896730
I use a picture instead of a trip code.
come at me bro.

I like Korean dramas. That's it though.

does your girlfriend call you oppa?

>>6896679
>Girlfriend
Get out.
>>6896730
/a/ doesn't want avatar fags either, he can go to /b/.
