What's with the huge obsession over japan? Weebs say they're superior to other cultures, and how a samurai can beat a knight anytime. If Europe ever got to Japan they'd all be ass raped.

OP is a true gamer, historical accuracy ftw!

I think beceause people just don't know a lot about it and think anime = Japan. I think it's as good as other countries but in some things better and other worse.
More kids with high degrees, but more suicides.
Less problems with genders (imo), but they're going to extinct bcz guys and woman don't want to fuck anymore.
It's better, but in another way.
It's worse, but in another way.

>and how a samurai can beat a knight anytime
/his/ here. We have maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyy things to say about that.

>If Europe ever got to Japan they'd all be ass raped.
Europe did go to Japan. Multiple, multiple times.

Untill fairly recently(pre Meiji restoration) Japan had the type of society Europe had in the middle ages, ruled by a warrior caste who followed a code of chilvary. Just like people often feel romantically about medieval Europe, so they also feel about Japan, so much closer to its medieval period.
That's part of it, atleast. Many so-called weebs are simply man(or woman)children who get suckered in by the neotonic facial traits of anime characters. If you follow childrens' cartoons you would know that the trend of drawing neotonic facial traits has now been adopted by western animation aswell.

Not OP but a samurai would get Shrekt right? They never fight people with shields let alone super thick plate armor.

Samurai sword has been folded 2 million times, so they can cut through platemail.

Samurai generally aren't like how we romanticise them (same with ninjas). And they certainly weren't as common as you would think.

Why does no one ever talk about how Japan literally holocausted Christians? Why does no one ever talk about how Japan's fearless military dictator just straight up dropped dead in terror when a couple of American ships showed up?

Thanks for answering nothing.

They conquered China and experimented on thousands of Chinese people in gruesome ways too.

Japanese have such a high opinion of themselves it's ridiculous. The whole imperial Japan/holocaust 2 electric boogaloo thing is a testament to that.

It's hilarious that a piece of shit racist, historically revisionist, comically stupid manga like pic related that reads and looks like a parody of internet strawman comics sold so much and is taken seriously by the population there.

Weebs and patriotic japs are the worst fucking thing
>denying warcrimes intensify
>muh samurai sword can cut through steel beams
>muh yakuza are honorable warriros and not fucking thugs

>Glorious Nippon Steel folded 2 million times
They didn't fold it 2 million times. Each fold doubles the layers. They folded it about 20 times to make about a million layers. Even then, the katana was made up of shitty pig iron and was very fragile. It also definitely cannot cut through platemail

It has been documented when a samurai travelled to Europe and participated in a tournament. He fought the best knights in all of Europa, and his sword was able to "cleave the steel armor like a knife through butter".

Who documentated that? Your ass? The samurai guy himself? You know last week I beat up a club full of chads. Got all the grills in there too. Shit was cash

>with shields
they did. Also, fully armored knights didn't sue shields.
>super thick plate armor.
it wasn't "super thick" by any stretch. At the very thickest, and this was only for chestplates and chestplates alone, during the age of gunnery, it was 1/16 of an inch thick. You actually don't need much thickness to stop blades and arrows , and too think and it becomes too heavy to be practical. Japanese armor had many similarities to European armor. They saw extensive use of maille and composite armors similar to the European bringandine and coat of plates, around the same times the Euros were using them. They had more trouble making larger plates though, because getting iron in such a mountainous place is hard. In a melee fight, the biggest challenge for the japs would probably be that the euros had better anti armor weapons (as far as I know, I know much more about Euro arms than jap arms).

The chronicle "the matter of Britain", you have to look for the original Frankish version. Just ask me if you need some terms translated.

>less problems with gender

Have you ever even read anything based on Japan ??? They aren't fucking. Their pop is going down. There is something fucked with their gender stuff.

People pay to get coffee and tea given to them by cute girls dressed as maids. If thay doesn't scream sexual weirdness and gender issues what the fuck does it say of their country ?


Not even mentioning the porn and I bet they have massive amounts of incels.

You also have to consider that Japan is very crowded and the average Japanese works all the time.

>What's with the huge obsession over japan?
Japan is the only country that exports quality anime.

Yeah ? Just making the gender issue worse ?

If they as a society have time to start and keep open maid cafes and make fucked up porn they easily could spend the same time fucking.

>The Matter of Britain is the body of Medieval literature and legendary material
That doesn't sound like a very accurate source to me.

It's typical of zoomers like you to show disdain for the more erudite and intellectual members of society, like mine self.

they were literally bothered out of their traditional lifestyle and self-imposed isolation by impending invasions by technologically superior foes, can you blame them

Hey man, I too enjoy the aroma of my own flatulence but do you have to be so in your face about it?

This. The japs were shitty at first but they didn't let themselves go.

depends on the time you're talking about
the level of protection was similar at the start but 15th century+ european armor was superior and they developed more anti armor weapons because of that
so if youre talking early middle ages no clue who'd win
later a samurai would probably get rekt
