Native Japanese YouTubers who communicate in English and orient (verb intended) their channels towards Anglosphere viewers are worse about leverging "OOH, EXOTIC JAPAN!" than many immigrant YouTubers with the same shtick.
And I'm tired of telling the YT algorithm to stop serving me their trash.
It's like the worst of both worlds, as it both generalises Japan and Japanese people, while also reinforcing 日本 vs 外国 nonsense with topics like "WHAT JAPANESE PEOPLE HATE THAT FOREIGNERS DO"
...yo, there are 196 countries, one of which is Japan, and Japanese people do all of that shit too. Your poop also stinks.
Name me something that is rude, awkward, or discomfiting generally, I can find people doing it in Japan who are ostensibly Yamato descended and holders of Japanese nationality by birth.
Imagine if I did a video called "WHAT AMERICANS HATE THAT FOREIGNERS DO"
