Not really.
He seems to enjoy what he does, and gets a fair amount of exposure in the way. I bet he's quite happy and content.
I feel good for him, and try to set my own path towards happiness. It doesn't involve going head first into what is nothing but a distraction, but rather academic instruction.

Some could say this. And rightfully so. Even though, I take he is more like of korean ethnicity than a jap as people seem to think him.

Also, no offense but he is such really terrible comic artist. This guy should stick with drawing /jp/ pandering touhou fanart. That's what he knows best.

Choo basically leeched off his parents and used his father's success to jump start his career. This is not to say he didn't do a lot of work, I'm just saying that he had it easy. He basically had the money to get into any college he wanted, and with his dad's influence he could get into any job he wanted. And as far as training/studying goes, he had it pretty easy. I'm sure I could train better if my parents had enough money to take me to fancy restaurants every day. I'm sure it would be much easier practicing to be a linux system administrator if my parents could afford to purchase multiple servers/bandwidth. As a teen studying Japanese would have been much easier if my parents took me on trips to Asia once a week. This Choo guy had it easy.

I'd like to see how far Choo would have gotten had he been born a poor Chinese person just like the majority of Chinese people.

At first glance you might think he's hard working, but in truth all he did was ride his father's wave. Plus the guy is a race traitor to boot. I rest my case.

We all know the answer to that now dont we?
Imagine if some prince actual would turn otaku and imagine how blessed his life would be.

I struggle to understand the concept of race traitor. Are humans really that stupid that they hold they each have some handicaps according to the random event of where the fuck you were born. Are their lives really so meaningless that they need to associate with bigger groups that give them meaning. Why bother with individual efforts when you have hundreds of years of history and culture to take the place of your personality.
Really, to upheld loosely connected achievements as your own is just pathetic. The concept of nation states and races as something pure, static and immobile is enough to make me turn away in disgust.

The man was lucky. He does what he likes, and did so without much difficulty. Maybe if you were willing to look further than your own nose you could do enjoy life, handicaps be damned.

Bloody humans, make me sick.

He was born Martti Turunen in the village of Jaakonvaara in Lieksa, Finland. Near the end of World War II, Turunen (then four years old) and his family were among the few survivors of a Soviet guerrilla attack on the village.[2]

In 1967, at the age of 27, he traveled to Japan as a lay missionary of the Lutheran Church, accompanied by his first wife, who was also a Finn (they later divorced). [1]

In 1974, when he was 34, he met his second wife, Sachiko, and he became enamored with the country. Having decided to become Japanese.

Now that must have been a shitty childhood

>> No.2441250

Honestly guys, although a lot of /jp/ers probably won't believe me, I'm gonna come out and say something that sounds kind of like I'm boasting about my power level:

I live in Japan, speak Japanese, play lots of eroge, go to lots of doujin events and sell my own stuff on occasion, all my IRL friends are a bunch of otaku who I met on 2ch, I buy lots of 2D porn, figures, team up with people to spend lots of money at comike, blahblahblah the whole nine yards. And I look whiter than this guy too.

But I never use my whiteness as a selling point. I don't consider myself special, I consider myself an average otaku, and most people I meet are kind of amazed at first to meet a white guy in this fandom, but after a little conversation they don't really treat me different than any other average nerd. Most people who know the stuff I've released in the doujin scene (not that I'm all that popular or anything mind you) do not even know that I'm not Japanese. I don't whore myself out as kind of some rarity. I'd like to think there are other people like me, but I'm starting to doubt it because I've been in the fandom over here for years now and I've never met another foreigner, only heard about dudes like this Danny Choo dude or that one dude who used to do shitty "learn English" videos on Nicodou. The only time I use English is on 4chan, and I always post as Anon.

What's so special about this Danny Choo dude? What does he do that I don't that makes him notable? I've never really heard anything about the guy other than what /jp/ says here, so maybe he's not really such a bad dude, but somehow I can't believe that he's not just a completely average otaku who happens to have money and happens to be foreign. Why does that make him at all special?

But I'm above whoring myself out on the Internet, against namefaggotry, and dislike white people in Japan who try to use their status as white people to some sort of advantage.
Although actually the reason I don't do something like that is probably more related to the fact that I'm terribly introverted and hate interacting with people in a non-Anonymous environment, even on the internet.

I guess I'll stay poor.

I mean, I just looked at the dudes website, and it looks like any old faggot's mixi page: "hey guys look at this figure I got, isn't it so moe?" "hey guys I went to Akihabara today, look at these cosplay pics" "Hey guys, look at this funny video I found on Nicodou" What's so interesting?
