>Why did Japan dominate the world culturally after WW2
In what way?
anime, manga, weabooism, imageboard culture, j-pop, kawaii etc
a lot of people across the world learn japanese, while few people learn german
GUTEN TAG
I'd say that's pretty niche thing not really dominating
>while few people learn german
Lol wut?
what a shitty thread by an underaged weaboo bydlo, a thread died for this
fuck you zoomers
forgot gaming industry - Nintendo and stuff
Germany has basically one series for nerds (Gothic) and that's all
>except for people who want to work there
That's quite a lot of people and I wouldn't say that Japan dominates the world culturally, that honour goes to the Anglosphere
German films were very popular before WW2, sadly they first alienated their Jewish directors (guy who made Metropolis etc.), and after that also "nazi" film makers such as Leni Riefenstahl who was a singularly talented woman (especially before she made propaganda for the midget) and never in the nazi party...left a cultural vacuum sadly
>almost no significant impact on the current world culture
They have pretty neat gothic scene, also wave gotik treffen
>except for people who want to work there
Almost every high school teaches German while there must be just a handful offering Japanese. What the fuck you're talking about
>Lol wut?
You have tons of people learning Japanese just for fun in the USA, Brazil, Australia etc., while almost no one learns German there. Only Europeans who live close to Germany sometimes learn it, if they are going to work, live or travel there, but it's purely utilitarian, nothing you do for cultural reasons
>and I wouldn't say that Japan dominates the world culturally, that honour goes to the Anglosphere
but Japan is definitely in the top, while Germany is completely irrelevant culturally. Even France or Spain are much more important than Germany in terms of culture.
yeah, for all 3,5 people who listen to such music it must be really important but it's irrelevant for the majority
you forgot porn
You overestimate Japan and underestimate Germany.
Japanese doesn't even come close to German when it comes to people studying. Only weebs bother with japanese
German porn used to be a thing back in the days
Sweden, I...
so your map only confirms the only people who learn German are poor eastern Europeans who are going to work there, while in western Europe German is completely irrelevant, even though Germany trumps all other countries economically
isn't it quite embarrasing for Germans that more Germans learn Spanish than Spaniards learn German? Spain is a poor shithole as compared to Germany.
>USA dominates Americas economically - everyone learns English there
>Japan dominates East Asia economically - everyone learns Japanese there
>Russia dominates eastern Europe and central Asia economically - everyone learns Russian there
>Germany dominates western and central Europe economically - almost no one learns German there
Are you still claiming more people are learning japanese? Even globally? Most high schools offer german while japanese is a niche language. Like you said it's just weebs learning it
Go out and have sex and watch less animes
Fuck off weeb
Deutschland is great country
>Most high schools offer german while japanese is a niche language
You're talking about Europe. It's different globally.
In the US Japanese is almost as popular as German, even though most of Americans have German roots and German culture is much, much closer to the American culture than Japanese culture is
And in Asia, that 'weighs' the most globally, Japanese is by far the most popular language.
Not to mention, even people who don't learn Japanese, consume much more of Japanese culture than German culture. It's just much more common on TV, on the internet etc.
btw, your map only proves the only people who learn German are poor eastern Europeans again (Scandis and Dutchies dont even need to learn German to have a good command of it, the languages are similar).
On the other hand, German is completely irrelevant in western Europe, even though all these countries have very strong economic ties with Germany.
In my university, which is in a flyover state, there’s 8 courses every semester for Nipponess, but only one for German, and it’s only available one semester out of the year
Nein Deutschland ist sehr schön. Kein mobbing.
For me Frenxh and German were obligatory in school.
I assume it's full of weebs. Why aren't they learning Spanish or something else they can actually use in America? You'd get weird looks if you took a Japanese course here.
>Why did Japan dominate the world culturally
????
Fuck you jap
Are you serious?
I think you are fucking weaboo nerd
Germany's cultural irrelevance is something really sad actually. Like Germany has a lot of stunnigly beautiful places, towns, villages etc., but let's imagine an average middle-aged American is planning his First Europe Trip, what countries will he visit? France, Italy, UK, Spain, maybe the Netherlands/Belgium or Austria. Germany is almost never the country of first choice, it's only the second or third trip across Europe when your American or Japanese tourist decides to see Germany and he's usually in awe - but why didn't he know that before he actually went there? Because Germany doesn't exist 'culturally' except for its narrow sphere of influence in Central and Eastern Europe. No one expects Germany to be beautiful, because the general image of Germany outside Europe is "yeah they make good cars but the country was bombed to the ground and there's nothing to see there I can't see in France" while in fact it's bullshit but Germans don't even seem to try to change this image.
Korea is shit
>its another asshurt Pole thread
You cunts sure have a victim complex
>gookoid buttmad that his country will never be as influential as Japan
everybody knows. no need to remind them 2495 times
german culture was heavily suppressed after world war 2
im a fan of motorsport and i found out that some german car manufacturers weren't even allowed to participate in racing post-war, like porsche
>Why did Japan dominate the world culturally
Except for some retarded weebs here and there who the fuck cares about Japan?
We are a nation of bureaucrats with a great level of emphasis on conformity. It's really no wonder that our creative output isn't that high.
Don't forget Anno and Simulators
who didn't watch Pokemon or Dragon Ball?
and on the other hand - what German shows does the whole world know?
>powerhouse economy
>major contributor to science and technology
You're a fucking retard Mehmet
Germany has incredibly tiny cultural output despite their population and economy. Germany doesn't make any music that hits the top of the charts or movies that do the same. There is no exported culture for foreigners to see themselves.
>all these people ITT saying OP is dumb for saying japan dominated culturally
>while posting on an imageboard derived from japanese imageboards
>It's really no wonder that our creative output isn't that high.
that can't be an explanation since Germany's creative output before WW1 was probably the greatest in the world
exactly - the question is - why?
does Rammstein count?
>Anno
that's for nerds again
>Simulators
that's only for German nerds, no one outside Germany plays it for real and people laugh only Germans could have invented such a concept
i don't know why desu, Germans just don't have much entertainment needs i guess.
the only German bands that come to mind are Rammstein and the Scorpions for me.
Japan has pretty potent soft power. Would probably rank next to USA, U.K and maybe France.
Nintendo, Kaju movies, power rangers, pokemon, dragon ball
Almost every person on the planet was influenced by japanese culture
The Netherlands has a much bigger cultural output than Germany desu. Italy and France as well.
>anime, manga, weabooism, imageboard culture, j-pop, kawaii etc
This is niche, retarded
>power rangers
I thought it was American
They sent their brightest minds to get killed in major wars twice and expelled a group who usually contribute a lot towards art and science in white countries(Jews) to america.
Imperial germany should've just stayed put and avoided major conflicts.
Just because a children's cartoon from Japan is popular doesn't mean Japan dominates the world culturally.
Yeah, they have a powerful economt but they mostly stay silent. You don't hear much news from there. I only see Japan on the news when there's huge earthquake there.
Spanish isn't just spoken in Spain
>They sent their brightest minds to get killed in major wars twice and expelled a group who usually contribute a lot towards art and science in white countries(Jews) to america.
didn't Japan do the same, especially in WW2?
There’s like 60 courses in Spanish, i was just comparing the cultural input from both, sure Japanese is taken by weebs, but i’d prefer a weeb over the person who is autistic enough to take German.
One of the producers of Planescape Torment was also German, he made a very successful German RPG series before that based on a tabletop system (DSA)
Also Settlers, Patrician, lot of point & click adventures, Crysis (German Turks actually but still)
First they got rid of the Jews, who always have and had unproportional cultural output, then they willingly culturally castrated themselves over WW II guilt
all countries it is spoken in as a native/main language are poor shitholes
do you think an average German learns Spanish to talk to a Bolivian coca harvester?
gay niga sex for white boi slut slave sissy
Ich verstehe dein Gefühl.
Success breeds jealousy
Spanish is a very popular language to learn in Germany. My ex gf was from Germany and fluent in it.
Fight scenes were lifted from some japanese show, americans shot the scenes with actors in civilian clothes and stitched it together
And after a while, I fucked you.
100 % pure shit thread. Get a life OP
Yeah they did it once but now twice. Japan wasn't also split with half their country being further degraded by communism.
that's something I can't understand
it's all other countries that should learn German, not Germans that should learn languages of poor countries
look at Americans or Brits, they wouldn't bother to learn any other language, because they expect everyone to speak English. Same with French people - they wouldn't learn German, because it's a German tourist that should learn some French if he visits France.
Only Germans are different and learn all langauges of countries that are economically inferior to them and it's pretty common that a German waiter in Germany speaks to a French tourist in French. How embarrasing it must be, try to imagine a reversed situation in Paris.
kek
>Japan wasn't also split with half their country being further degraded by communism.
it was barely 1/4, do you think Japan would be so different if Russia had annexed Hokkaido?
why does everybody get upset when you mention that japan is culturally strong?
If you know more than your cunt language and english you're a cuck
God bless the Queen
because anime bad
Modern Talking was very popular.
However, they sang in English.
It may be problematic that the Germans themselves rely on English.
In addition, techno including Kraftwerk was important.
Detroit? Is American pizza a true pizza?
The gaming industry is not niche anymore, everyone knows who Super Mario is, and almost every normalfag has played some sort of Japanese game even in their adulthood. Even turd world countries feel this cultural influence thanks to cheap arcades.
Meanwhile even Poland has more soft power in this field than Germany.
techno was founded in Detroit
I also always wondered that how Germany doesn't have popular games, movies, cartoons, music or anything being so rich. Same goes for China.
Japan literally invented most of tech stuff since the end of WW2 CDs, DVDs, Blurays, Walkma, gaming consoles etc.
Anime is 28$ billion industry and it makes 60% of world total animation. Some of anime and manga franchises are most profitable media franchises off all time.
en.wikipedia.org
It's the deep dish
>Same goes for China.
that's easily explainable - their country is still rather closed due to their political system so they produce a lot of stuff for their internal market but it's not supposed to be exported all over the world
if chinese people can't use fb or yt, they can't advertise their modern culture as easily
but it's not the case with Germany
Why does a coutnry need to "export" its culture to begin with? Exporting pharmacy, cars and machines is enough.
I rather you subhuman fucks never witness or learn about anything good or interesting that goes on here, you dont deserve anything good in your pathetic life.
The only german somewhat successful game franchise and studio were Crytek and Crysis.
You jumped the shark with Poland there. All we have is vodka, pope, lech walesa, sausage, and witcher. But we are a poor shithole that was always irrelevant culturally
Retarded weebs itt
cope
Without the car industry to rule your country Mordor is just another shithole
They have been making some global brands in the last few years with Huawei and Xiaomi
Culture makes your country known and influential around the world.
>witcher
yeah, I meant specifically in the gaming field. that's still more than what Germany is known for in that sector.
As previously mentioned, lots of jews migrated or disappeared under less pleasant circumstances. They contributed a shitload. Just look at Weimar's film industry before the Nazis took over.
Our romantic spirit was also somewhat broken after both world wars and we lost self-confidence and identity. E.g. Films here are either a cheap and cringy imitation of Hollywood or too "german" even for german audiences, meaning that they are dull, lifeless and a bit stiff. Few manage to step between both.
What's left of culture is often toothless and boring. Something that exists but has no impact and isn't valued by german society.
This, as I said, Germany loses a lot of tourists and money because it's not as recognizable as France or Italy are, even though German cities look better than French ones.
And even then japanese beat them, Toyota is larger than Volkswagen.
Without Mordors guidance and assistance your serf province would starve to death, now go back to the mines and fetch us more metal for the furnaces you maggot.
Culture has hardly any impact on anything besides entertainment industry, and for influence we have the EU
>That's quite a lot of people and I wouldn't say that Japan dominates the world culturally, that honour goes to the Anglosphere
Yeah Germany is like promised land for people of poor european countries but I don't really see why they are getting exploited there. I would rather live and work here in my shit hole than be a german slave.
>Just because a children's cartoon from Japan is popular doesn't mean Japan dominates the world culturally.
That is what it means to dominate culturally when your media is popular and influential around the world.
can't let the krauts get cocky again lest they start WWIII
It's a good thing
>Culture has hardly any impact on anything besides entertainment industry, and for influence we have the EU
Tell that to millions of people worshipping Japan around the world and buying their games, anime etc and making trips there thus supporting their economy.
NASA is pretty well known pham
We survived a communist regime meanwhile if you lose a material good you're suddenly in depression
I hope the next recession hits Germany very hard and the whole continent
PlayStation is one of the biggest brands in the world and even 7th most popular in your country.
