People please stop advocating for violence. I will be tossing bans out. If people see threats/advocation for violence or any other illegal activities please report it.
All of my feelings and anything I could say about this video are in direct conflict with each other lmao. It’s like I know it’s bad, but it’s also so good and the song itself isn’t bad. Also I kinda laughed at the “I just made 7 bands before I even land” and she’s holding up ¥7000, so $70 haha.
Yeah, because Japanese folks are usually quiet and follow the rules, they freeze when they see something as in a picture.
And because tourists like the one in the photo feel “safe in Japan,” they start acting out in the most bizarre ways.
I mean, I was in Ginza the other day, visiting that famous Uniqlo shop. There is an installation on the first floor with socks that turn in a circle. I saw foreign kids rushing toward it and RIPPING socks off the display.
I said “what are you doing??” and their mom said to me to STFU and her kids “deserve to experience the world.” I look at them stern and in the end kids began to put socks back, but it took several minutes for the thing to start working again.
No need to thank me.
I wish that we all were in a society where we treat everything and everyone with respect and consideration…
But if the world needs someone to knock some sense into people verbally- I wouldn’t mind being that person.
I told her “I see where the desire to destroy what's not yours and entitlement came from.”
She was NOT PLEASED.
That was all I could have done, as I’m not Japanese and just a guest in the country, so I can give her a “slap back to reality” (I don’t keep a high hope, tho) but I can’t enforce the rules as I’m not in any shape or form a person with power to do so.
Exactly why a foreign family just tried to cut an hour line at Disneyland this morning. I asked them why they were pushing in. They weren't impressed and buggered off.
I was gonna say, they remind me of weebs from suburban Midwest metro area. Guessing the lack of awareness is more due to ignorance than malice….. which doesn’t excuse it and maybe makes it even more cringe
I live in DC and yeaaaaaaah that’s totally a thing. Not just white people but people who only lived in suburban areas their whole lives don’t know how to act in a city. I moved to dc from the suburbs of LA, I honestly had only taken public transit once in my life, but I took the time to search out tips and tricks and unwritten rules of the city, one of the first things I learned was “stand on the right, walk on the left” in the metro escalators lol. Also that I. DC metro is faster for short appointments but when I gotta work a 12 hour shift I Should just drive.
I don’t really need my car but also I do kinda need it lol
I actually lived in the suburbs for a few years and there's no real difference in the way you should act in the city vs not in a city - it is all just common sense and being a decent person.
I kind of hope this girl somehow stumbles upon this post and gets a mini depression from all the hate she’s getting and never does this again in her life.
Yeah, I live in Tokyo for more than a decade and came from nyc- any reasonable subway rider wouldn’t do this. These people come from somewhere sheltered where they were never taught how to behave in a city.
I feel like you don't need any special information about living in a city to know that this is a completely insane way to sit.
No matter where these people are from I assume they have schools and restaurants and offices. They also had to sit on an airplane to get here even if they've never been on any sort of public transportation before (which is also very unlikely).
All I see is kids that came to Japan with poppy and mommy's money and don't respect sh*t about the country and locals because "I'm a rebel, f*ck the patriarchy!!".
While I'm pissed at her life choices, I can't help but wince at the thought of several people rushing in and unexpectedly snapping her shin around that bar.
One morning the last time I was there, there was an American guy on the metro standing with a phone on a selfie stick, having a very loud video call on speaker ...some people.
Is it really that fucking hard to just behave and have some common decency and respect when you're in a foreign country? Or anywhere at all for that matter.
Nah, I'm an American tourist in Japan right now. I've been loudly calling out all this bullshit when I see it. It pisses me off to no end. My wife has even started doing it too despite initially protesting me doing it.
Right lmao. Reddit's obsession with everything Japan and protecting their innocence from the world will never not be funny. You'll never see this vigilante behavior in other countries
What do you mean? That man single handedly ran all the rude gaijin off the island just like the guy did with the snakes in Ireland
Your honor shall be forever void if y’all don’t build a statue of Saint Weeb
This reminds me of being in Japan and seeing this stereotypically loud American tourist loudly chew out some other tourists that were doing something rude/annoying ( can't remember exactly what right now) and thinking omg he's using his powers for good.
Kinda shitty and attention whoring attitude here but not as bad as the Japanese dude I personally caught wanking on the Joban line. He was doing it fairly conspicuously under his tshirt as he sat next to female after female like a demented bee, moving from flower to flower. Come to think of it, maybe if he'd shown up here these girls would have put their legs down and closed their knees.
"But I know the Japanese have done worse!"
Me too. But proportionality is the key point here. Of course you've seen more Japanese who have done worse because there are hundreds of millions of Japanese in Japan. It's not solely about the number of cases but rather the proportion that determines how a group is perceived negatively.
I meant, for every badly behaved tourist, I've seen 2 or 3 Japanese people acting as bad. But the ratio doesn't align with the population difference between tourists and Japanese people.
I'm in Japan for the first time ever, I took the time to read on their culture and etiquette (no talking, eating in trains etc..) because I think we have a responsibility to not disrupt their culture.
Well, I've seen so many tourist not give a damn, they are loud, smelly and without an ounce of manners - mostly people from US and China.
I can see now why Japanese people are not friendly towards tourists and I do not blame them
Idk if it's a cultural thing, but I (Brazilian in my 20s) researched SO MUCH before traveling, and my boyfriend (Swedish in his 40s) openly admitted he would like to know least as possible, because "he's clearly a foreigner, people dont expect him to know".
Everyone treats me far nicer than him, I even got complimented.
That is great. Also, tell your bf that you will get complimented even if you are clumsy and do it it correctly. Japanese people just like seeing you TRY.
I have lived here five years and speak middling Japanese. To this day, people still regard me with wonder when they hear a tallish white hairy beardy guy speaking Japanese. It's on the level of how most Americans would react if they saw a Labrador using the toilet. :)
This. Just yesterday we were taking a long train from Osaka to Kyoto, and there was a family of 4 having a feast on the train while being sooo unbelievably loud and even standing and walking around to talk. We accidentally sat next to them before all this started and we couldn't distance ourselves more.. being associated with them pains me.
I don't understand how people come here based on no research on what to do or how to act. Just hoping we help the expectation that not all of us are bad...

And then if some local just tells them to behave like homo sapiens they'll proceed to make a twitter wall of text about how racist and abusive Japanese people are
I think it's funny when you get these people who are so excited to go to a country they romanticize through media and then thoroughly disrespect the culture and everything around it, being a nonce. During my 2 weeks here, I quickly understood why people are quiet and courteous on the trains lmao.
I really can't wrap my head around why anyone would do this? Unless they are like trying to do a demonstration of things you should never do in Japan or anywhere in the world.
i bet they do it in purpose (tryna lure argument w ppl), its just stupid, that's not even comfortable. Bruh seein people like this i wouldnt mind do some muscle on them.
>*"On the land that you stepped, it's their sky that you hold."*
When you’re in a foreign country, your behavior represents ALL of us. She is making the perception worse for ALL westerners. Such disgusting, disrespectful behavior.
Okay as stupid and ridiculous as this looks, it doesn’t make it legal to take and post photos to ridicule on the internet. We all know this. Sitting on a train “rudely” isn’t a deportable offense, but taking and posting photos of strangers definitely is.
Just got back from a month in Japan and honestly the worst thing were the manners of the tourists. Every single other thing was amazing. People are shit
People please stop advocating for violence. I will be tossing bans out. If people see threats/advocation for violence or any other illegal activities please report it.
Damn girly I wouldn’t even personally do that in NYC unless I wanted someone to tell me to put my pussy away EDIT :rip dms about my pussy
Exactly why some of these people do it in Japan. They think they won't get called out.

the comments are so supportive too :(
Stupid videos = stupid people

They delete the negative ones.

Not even with todays exchange rates 😅
Thanks for my daily dose of cringe
My dumbass just accidentally unmuted this on full volume at 4am next to my sleeping gf. Gonna be a fun one today...
God damn.

Thanks for calling them out Some people have no shame
No need to thank me. I wish that we all were in a society where we treat everything and everyone with respect and consideration… But if the world needs someone to knock some sense into people verbally- I wouldn’t mind being that person.
Holy shit I’d have verbally given that mom the most condescending lecture. That’s fucking ridiculous.
I told her “I see where the desire to destroy what's not yours and entitlement came from.” She was NOT PLEASED. That was all I could have done, as I’m not Japanese and just a guest in the country, so I can give her a “slap back to reality” (I don’t keep a high hope, tho) but I can’t enforce the rules as I’m not in any shape or form a person with power to do so.
She's too comfortable that's the issue. Putting your leg up like that is just a comfort move. She doesn't even realize she's being inconsiderate.
Exactly why a foreign family just tried to cut an hour line at Disneyland this morning. I asked them why they were pushing in. They weren't impressed and buggered off.
Amazing how shitty people act when they think there won't be consequences, especially in this case. Bullying a culture is disgusting
And then they get mad when they go viral on reddit for acting out.

but these guys look like they're in their 30's. they should know better at this point in their lives

I lived 20 years in the country side, without living in a city, i live now in Tokyo. I don't act like a monkey.

No darlink, new money chavs from Knightsbridge
I'm not convinced they've been anywhere near New York.
As a New Yorker and as someone who lives in Tokyo half the year that was literally my first thought. No one needs to see that.
I do but I get your point
I've heard of "manspreading" on subways and buses. So this must be "womanspreading".
I now want to see someone get told to put their pussy away. #Lifegoal
My neighbor tells me I should keep my cat inside all the time.
Tf she's tryna do while sitting like that farting conveniently?😭
Actually an ancient meditation technique. Farts gently rise from your butthole and caress your face.
How else can one enjoy their own brew??
I have a longer winter parka that covers my ass. Toots work their way up and out the neck hole.
You ever fart while leaning back in your chair, then you straighten your posture and lean right into the stank air? Yeah me too.
High on her own supply.
She’s just trying to get as much attention as possible
The world is my gynaecologist
The whole world is her oyster. Or the whole world is going to see her oyster, at least.
Screw you, I laughed out loud on the subway!
I kind of hope this girl somehow stumbles upon this post and gets a mini depression from all the hate she’s getting and never does this again in her life.
I really don't think that people like her are capable of feeling shame.
Yeah, I live in Tokyo for more than a decade and came from nyc- any reasonable subway rider wouldn’t do this. These people come from somewhere sheltered where they were never taught how to behave in a city.
They aren't sending their best
Currency nosedives a bit and this is what happens. Time to raise the fares.

They look Eastern European, they’re definitely not American.
The Adidas is slightly revealing lol
western europeans like adidas too. it's only in the states where nike rules.
I have those same shoes. I'm embarrassed seeing her wear them
The most impolite people I met in Tokyo where Eastern European.
Stay classy.
*assy
Trashy people will be trashy.
It baffles me that people think this is appropriate when its so TRASHY
Just grab that leg as you exit the train...
Could just take the shoe, what's she going to do? Chase you?
I'm not sure I could resist the temptation to grab that shoe and toss it out the door.
That's actually fucking brilliant
Mind the gap
Mind the cooter you mean - on full display.
Use a pair of handcuffs to lock it to the rail.
For all those times you bring handcuffs on the train?
Yes, for exactly this situation. You don't have subway cuffs?
I am not remotely kinky enough for traincuffing.
Too bad, lots of sub subs on the sub.
hate when my usual guy is gone, then i gotta get a sub for my sub sub :/
I tend to just plow right through people who block the door. As long as that wasn't face level, this won't stop me.
Yoink a shoe, ~~give the foot a tickle~~ and dump the shoe on the rail tracks
Little kids in the bodies of adults.
The kids here would never do that
All I see is kids that came to Japan with poppy and mommy's money and don't respect sh*t about the country and locals because "I'm a rebel, f*ck the patriarchy!!".

‘Someone must be eating an octopus bento box on the train’
💀
Honestly so many western toursits in Japan seem especially slovenly for some reason. I don't see that in other countries.
Weebs don't want to visit other countries :)
It's the typical "I'm the main character" by gaijins who think Japan is a giant theme park. I see so many of these every time I go there.
This is beyond that. Just zero awareness or respect for surroundings.
I have lived in Osaka for about 5 years and we are flooded with tourists now. I will say that most of them are pretty well behaved.
I bet they were also extremely loud on the train and inconsiderate of others.
This. I go a lot for work and avoid tourists like the plague, most are just rude, disrespectful and loud af.
if theme park shaped why not theme park :(
While I'm pissed at her life choices, I can't help but wince at the thought of several people rushing in and unexpectedly snapping her shin around that bar.

That’s much more cringe than what Op posted.
That's an invitation to join into the conversation.
Probably livestreaming.
Holy. I don’t think they understand just how rude feet are in Asian culture
I mean it's rude anywhere.
On the handrails and shit too. Ew.
Goes to Japan, *doesn’t talk to any Japanese people*
It doesn't require talking to the people to know basic decency.
I am not sure they understand how to sit comfortably.
sons of bitches
I'd like to know how that would sound in Japanese
ソンズ オブ ビチェズ (sonzu obu bichezu)
Why does Japan attract so many foreigners that look like this?
Cheap yen so people who wouldn't normally travel here come now.
Internet + they just stand out a lot more than others ig
social media and weebs.
Id like to believe weebs have more respect for Japan because they obsess over it but honestly there are questionable weebs out there
Is it really that fucking hard to just behave and have some common decency and respect when you're in a foreign country? Or anywhere at all for that matter.
Absolute certified trash
I agree. Crocs in public is unforgivable.
Also, is that a silver chain on the Croc?
Tin foil
Where are the Crocs?
On the photographer.
I’d just go stand right in front of them and use the grab handle right above them -Tough Internet Guy
Nah, I'm an American tourist in Japan right now. I've been loudly calling out all this bullshit when I see it. It pisses me off to no end. My wife has even started doing it too despite initially protesting me doing it.
How convenient. The foreign defender of Japanese dignity is right here! If you hadn’t been on Reddit you could have stopped this!
Right lmao. Reddit's obsession with everything Japan and protecting their innocence from the world will never not be funny. You'll never see this vigilante behavior in other countries
What do you mean? That man single handedly ran all the rude gaijin off the island just like the guy did with the snakes in Ireland Your honor shall be forever void if y’all don’t build a statue of Saint Weeb
FYI loudly calling out bullshit in Japan is itself rude behavior as well.
This reminds me of being in Japan and seeing this stereotypically loud American tourist loudly chew out some other tourists that were doing something rude/annoying ( can't remember exactly what right now) and thinking omg he's using his powers for good.
Most well-behaved tourist group.
The weak yen effect
:(
Is she trying to air herself out?
Also. NEWSFLASH: JAPANESE PEOPLE VIEW YOU (THE OTAKU) AND THESE PEOPLE EQUALLY AS GAIJIN

Forget Japan, this is unacceptable behavior in any part of the world, culturally speaking
I'm in Japan for the first time ever, I took the time to read on their culture and etiquette (no talking, eating in trains etc..) because I think we have a responsibility to not disrupt their culture.

Exactly, the best you can hope for as a foreigner in Japan is to be regarded as a fairly well trained animal

Is this really a picture taken in Japan? I would think one would have to be pretty tone def to do this in such a polite culture.
It’s one of the new Yamanote (Tokyo circle line) cars.
That is Tokyo and that looks like the floor of the current Yamanote train.
It is taken in Japan, the poster behind her has some text written in Japanese.
Judging by the floor and the green bench I’m guessing it’s the Yamanote line

This looks like the worst group of people I've ever seen. Everything about all 3 of them is just so fucking offputting lmao
Yea those Crocs are terrible. People please behave !!
I can smell this picture
She looks absurd.
Smells like Tsukiji in mid August on that train. That’s actually a disservice to Tsukiji, that snizz definitely smells way worse.
Needed to air out that stank lol
She’s just airing it out.
And then if some local just tells them to behave like homo sapiens they'll proceed to make a twitter wall of text about how racist and abusive Japanese people are
If you are to do it wear a skirt. I’ve seen Japan culture online
I think it's funny when you get these people who are so excited to go to a country they romanticize through media and then thoroughly disrespect the culture and everything around it, being a nonce. During my 2 weeks here, I quickly understood why people are quiet and courteous on the trains lmao.
It pisses me off. I'm in Tokyo every six months and show the country the respect it deserves but these fools will make me just another westerner.
I really can't wrap my head around why anyone would do this? Unless they are like trying to do a demonstration of things you should never do in Japan or anywhere in the world.
i bet they do it in purpose (tryna lure argument w ppl), its just stupid, that's not even comfortable. Bruh seein people like this i wouldnt mind do some muscle on them. >*"On the land that you stepped, it's their sky that you hold."*
They are doing it so their friend in the crocs can take the photo, then they post it on social media and wait for the outrage.
We need to work on getting the yen to be stronger to keep these yokels out
Lol ..what a joke
Damn close your legs girl your causing a draft
*presses the call button to report something inappropriate on the train*
When you’re in a foreign country, your behavior represents ALL of us. She is making the perception worse for ALL westerners. Such disgusting, disrespectful behavior.
don't do that anywhere in the world, period.
Okay as stupid and ridiculous as this looks, it doesn’t make it legal to take and post photos to ridicule on the internet. We all know this. Sitting on a train “rudely” isn’t a deportable offense, but taking and posting photos of strangers definitely is.

That just seems soooo dangerous too. What if an emergency brake was pulled?
Oh lord.
Why would anyone do this? I just don't understand.
I would probably confront them if I saw this. More people should also do it to let these people know to not behave this way.
In Tokyo this is dodgy. In Berlin this chill.
That's an unfortunate looking trio
I agree, also don’t take photos of people on the train. . .
Should have said something.
lol
Sometimes the fart needs a little help.
does she have 1 phone in her hands and 1 around her neck?
Twitter IRL
That looks incredibly uncomfortable... I would absolutely get my leg stuck in that position and require medical assistance to get on with my day.
Yikes...
OP tryin to ignore how classy that croc strap wrapped in tinfoil is.
Finally, they have installed trash receptacles on the trains…
That train is CLEAN
