Probably not the smartest logic there since most western men who visit Japan are huge fucking weebs
I think probably about as many are tired businessmen and dads on family vacations
Idk how many American families go on vacation to Japan unless they're nerds?
Japan like knows this, they literally have stands to sell tickets to the Studio Ghibli museum in the Tokyo airport cuz they know that's what tourists who come to Japan are gonna wanna do.
Mind you I say all this as a guy who rather likes anime himself, there ain't no hate here.
I'm not in Amerikkka rn but I can at least say that one of the staff guys at my jawbbbb skillzzz classss plans to go to Japan soon, and he's being real weird (read: kimochi-warui) about the geisha. But I guess he's more granddad age than dad age, anyway...
Yeah I used to live in an area with a lot of Japanese tourists and so I took Japanese classes for like, employability
Later I moved and when I would tell people I knew some Japanese they'd be like OH DO YOU WATCH JITSU NO KAIDENSUPPU NO BAKKURERUDAI no no I don't know what the fuck that is, I have seen like 5 anime movies, and Dragonball and Cowboy Bebop in the 2000's
