@matigo I think fetishisation of 'the other' probably happens with most 'different' cultures- but Japan for some reason (particularly on the internet) seems to have really ended up as the focus of a lot of that 'wooo weird foreigners' shit. Perhaps because it's a gigantic economy with a modern but very much non-Western culture?
I guess SK's PPAP moment was Gangnam Style which I absolutely LOATHE
