I’m commenting on the wikipedia comment, that is the context.

I haven’t discussed cancel culture, nor downvoted anything. Not that that’s even related to each other.

The fact of the matter is that the phrase does not denigrate Japanese culture, it is completely gender agnostic and is not an innuendo. That’s objectively true.

So either it’s the American phobia of even pretending that other cultures exist, or it’s the equally American phobia of nudity. Even in a figure of speech.



None of those are objectively true. Please research the term by googling it before declaring things are objectively true about it.

The top google results show it’s taken by many to be a sexist term.


An appeal to authority?

I mean, you can find Google results that can affirm almost any opinion, but that doesn’t make your argument here any less silly than it already is.
