This is literally anything for any place. There are surely articles in Japan by Japanese people that criticize a certain aspect of their culture and then reassuring contrarians that cherry pick things to tell people what they want to hear because it sells newspapers gets ratings etc. But yeah, jump on the F america bandwagon on hacker news and act like we're unique in these things. This is literally all humans.
- saithound 3y agoThe "Japan is number one" literature is presumably its own genre, with it's own unique tropes. I don't know (but I can guess: I can read Serbian and Hungarian, and I know that the jingo articles targeted to Serbians don't usually extoll the virtues of infrastructure, public services, etc. and have a rather different tone). And in any case ehat Japanese articles claim is unlikely to come up in an article on French vs US food, and doesn't provide context on the Twitter war in question. However, if you've read enough of a foreign analogue of this genre, to be able to list its common tropes, I encourage you to make a similar post under a relevant article. It'll help people consume it with the appropriate amount of salt.
