Japanese Nazi-Cosplayers

My friend suggested the other day that I should use my blog to post more photos of Japanese stereotypes and other weird stuff foreigners expect to find in Japan. Ok, why not. Lets start with some Nazi-Cosplayers! Only in Japan…

    unfortunately, no.

  2. You have Nazi-Cosplayers in Italy? I didn’t know!

  3. Mhm, we have right wingers and even extreme right wingers, but they are rather harmless. The older ones actually like Germans, because of the close ties between Japan in Germany back in WWII. Kinda depressing to be liked because of some evil idiots back then…but happened to me also in South America…Germans are also quite popular there because they brought a lot of money into the countries as they flew Germany in 1945…

    Uh hu.

      here extreme right wingers are into what extreme right wingers usually are into: hate propaganda, soccer support and minority (jew, black, gay) aggressions. neo-nazi groups aren’t that popular, but the problem is that, since a xenophobic party got in the government a few years back, there’s been quite a big recrudescence of hate-related crimes…
