   Apparently some YouTuber called Oriental Pearl has been making videos about how Japan is now in decline.. because there’s like some graffiti now, omg, foreigners

   The ‘I speak Chinese / Japanese and lemme explain ASIA’ part of YouTube is toxic and racist AF. (With some exceptions)

     @Ronnie she sees dollars signs in catering to the local Japanese nationalist crowd. It’s a trope and a playbook at this point to be the token foreigner that local extremists can point to to say, look that white person also agrees with me.

     @skinnylatte I’ve been following her for a while and these last few videos have been completely different than anything she’s done in the past. Something is going to come out that something happened.

     @skinnylatte I had to look up the channel to see if it was one I recognized and it is but thankfully one of the ones that I'd previously filed away as uninteresting pandering to the "omg you don't look like [nationality] but you speak [language]" crowd

     feeling retroactively very justified in that decision
