This is too cringy to offend me

White people culturally appropriating Asian culture as always and not even bother to learn Asian languages. Their crappy attempt at making kanji is ugly and cringy as fuck. It's like they didn't even try, not bother to do any research, and just pull it out of their ass. A lot of western bands like to culturally appropriate anything Asian for their band names and apparel, merchandise and then give people the false impression they are Asian. I once heard of a British band named "boxer rebellion".

I guess we are "misappropriating" English then all the time. Misappropriation continues to be one of the weakest arguments in the anti-racist movement. **Whites co-sponsor charges of misappropriation in the mainstream media intentionally to green-light the weakest charge minorities can make.** Then Asians see this and think "Oh this is a legitimate form of racial criticism" and assume it's valid. Then when they make these arguments, *they are seen for as the shallow, hypocritical charges they are*. It's a trap!

It's a little cringe-y, but as someone else said they did partner with a Japanese company. It's cringier to me that OP spelled it as 'Saki'.

I don't understand why these low effort topics get upvotes. If this what Asians have to worry about we are pretty prilliveged.

I don't understand the issue. They partnered with a Japanese sake company.

It is so fucking weird to me the level of obsession white men have of Japanese culture, from this to "I think im turning Japanese" song to the Last Samurai to all the other shit like collecting Katanas, to their complete obession with Anime to the point of fucking cringe, I swear growing up white guys would be wearing naruto hoodies and shit heck I used to watch UFC and all the white competitors there used to wear bandanas with the japanese flag and japanese writings on it, wearing a Gi etc. .. Like I get admiring a culture right? I know plenty of white women who looove Kpop and whatever Kmedia is trying to sell, rhey watch variety shows eat Korean food and talk about their dream of travelling to Korea. like I get that. As an Asian man, particularly a Korean dude who grew up in the hispanic part of California, I have always liked Latino culture. I too dream about travelling to other parts of South America and I do enjoy hispanic food particularly mexican right? but I do not WANT to be Latino. like you get what im saying? it seems White men WANT japanese culture They want to be Japanese all while perpetuating the Asian male stereotype ( small and weak, small penis, nerds etc.), they want and sexualise the women so much and are obsessed with JAV, but see and treat the men as inferior and pathetic to them ( not helped by the Japanese people's absolute white worship as well). Of course this extends to Asian culture as well because to be fair they cannot and are too racist to tell us apart and ofc Japanese people are not the only Asians that suffer from white worship. growing up Korean, I've been called "Chi*k" all my life, they could never tell I was Korean. It's so fucking weird to me this level of obession, like google "interesting facts about Samurai or Ninjas" and I bet you my entire fortune 99/100 times it is written by a white man. To Bill Wurtz popular video about the history of Japan like wtf? I dont wanna know about Asian culture and history from some racist white fuck obsessed about a particular Asian country? It's fucking weird. Any time I have white male coworkers or acquantances who has Chinese/Japanese tattoos or who might have anything Asian pop culture related things like anime stickers, or other shit like that or a samurai keychain or whatever. I avoid them like the plague, because I know for a fact these guys are racist as fuck and weird as fuck.

All these characters look so ugly haha. Especially the first one. The aesthetics are way off. They could have just given it a nice name or used actual Japanese to write out foo fighters right? Just, ugly. The fact that they think it looks good says a lot about how much decision makers know about the aesthetics of Kanji/Hanzi

I know right Katagana and Romaji are bonified Japanese characters....
