@SilentSt0rmX@Tatsuya_SAS It might seem like a relaxed faith because there aren't strict, detailed precepts.
For example, there are periods of fasting, and they don't eat pork or drink alcohol.
We don't pray multiple times a day either.
@SilentSt0rmX There are no Ten Commandments of Moses
There are no seven deadly sins
Gods reside in all things in nature
Simply put, animism is the core of Shinto
When building a house, a Shinto priest purifies the land before the building is constructed.
@SeverusChud Toronto is the same way. You can walk around any block, anytime of day and less than 10% of the people you will see are native Canadian.
NYC is pretty close too.
The saddest thing about London is the centuries of aura and magic it’s built up, only for tourists to arrive and wonder, “Where the hell are the British people?”
It’d be like visiting Tokyo and seeing no Japanese. The disappointment must be brutal.
@SeverusChud Where are the gentlemen walking with canes?
However, Japan is overflowing with Chinese and Koreans.
It's so difficult for even Japanese people to tell them apart, because they're the same race.
@26ers_bp115 Déformer l'histoire n'en fera jamais une vérité. Notre Jeanne est blanche et elle le restera à jamais dans nos cœurs.
Même vous people du Japon l'avais très compris et très bien représenté.
@26ers_bp115 I wonder how Americans would react if an independent movie company cast a white actor for either Frederick Douglas or Martin Luther King, Jr.? It would be interesting to see the reaction from both sides.
@26ers_bp115 "Black-washing" is a thing in mainstream western media about as much as gender-swaps. Never heard of the famous black vikings discovering America or how the african people of Wakanda civilized those japanese barbarians who used to live on trees like apes before? 🙄
@Sp_Junglist13@YuumaYamagiwa@26ers_bp115@jun_alfa_156 That's right.
Why are Shakespearean plays so popular in Japan?
Because their themes are wonderful, transcending time and borders.
And because most Japanese people don't understand English, the plays have been performed by Japanese actors.
@YuumaYamagiwa@26ers_bp115@jun_alfa_156 This misses the point. Japan would have Japanese actors so the Japanese people could relate, France would have French actors for the same reason. But in Britain it will be black and south asian actors because they don’t want white people to be able to relate to our own culture.
