You won't believe this, but... In Japan, one word means sorry, thank you, excuse me, please, hello, hesitation, and goodbye. All of it. Same word. Sumimasen. The waiter brings your food. Sumimasen. (Thanks.) You bump into someone on the train. Sumimasen. (Sorry.) You stop a stranger to ask for directions. Sumimasen. (Excuse me.) Someone holds the elevator for you. Sumimasen. (Thank you.) You need to interrupt your boss. Sumimasen. (Pardon me.) You arrive late. Sumimasen. (My apologies.) You want to politely turn something down. Sumimasen, but... (Sorry, but...) Tourists hear it everywhere and think Japanese people apologize too much. They're missing the point. The word comes from sumu, an old verb that means "to be over." Sumimasen is the negative form. It literally means "it isn't over." Something between us isn't finished yet. There's still a balance to settle. Someone holds the door? The kindness isn't over. You owe something back. You bump into someone? The wrong isn't over. You stop a stranger to ask for directions? You took their time. Not over. It's not really sorry. It's not really thank you. It's the feeling of carrying a debt you haven't paid yet. One word, used everywhere, because nobody in Japan really thinks they're fully even with anyone. That's a whole worldview in one word. 🇯🇵

You won't believe this, but... 150 years ago, Japanese people didn't eat strawberries. They knew about them. A few plants had drifted in through Nagasaki, brought by Dutch traders during the late Edo period. But strawberries were a curiosity. A red Western thing. Not food. Then in 1872, the Meiji government set up a national farm research station in Tokyo and started bringing in American and European varieties. Around the turn of the 20th century, a horticulturist named Fukuba Hayato took seeds from a French variety called Général Chanzy and bred Japan's first strawberry inside the Shinjuku Imperial Garden. He called it Fukuba. And here's the thing. He grew it in secret. The first Japanese strawberry was reserved for the Imperial family. Regular people weren't allowed to eat it. For 20 years, the Fukuba strawberry stayed locked inside the garden walls. It wasn't released to the public until 1919. Decades later, a slice of white sponge cake topped with strawberries became part of the Japanese Christmas. A red jewel that used to belong to emperors, now sitting on every family's December table. Then something happened that nobody saw coming. Japan didn't stop. Tochigi. Fukuoka. Shizuoka. Saga. Nara. Every prefecture started breeding its own. Each one trying to out-strawberry the others. By 2018, the government had registered 294 different varieties. Today the number sits around 300. That's more than half of every strawberry cultivar on the planet. One country. One fruit. A fruit that wasn't even on the table 150 years ago. And it gets stranger. In Japan, strawberries are a winter fruit. The rest of the world treats them as a summer thing. Japan flipped the calendar. Greenhouses, climate control, decades of breeding for cold-season harvests. All of it so families can put a fresh strawberry on a Christmas cake every December. There's Amaou from Fukuoka. The name comes from four words: red, round, big, and delicious. In 2015, a 250-gram Amaou broke a 32-year-old Guinness record for the heaviest strawberry on Earth. There are white ones. Pink ones. Ones that turn into a perfect heart when you slice them in half. Some sell for ¥1,000 each. Some sell for ¥10,000 a box. Packed in printed gift boxes, sometimes paulownia wood, cushioned with foam. Like jewelry. A foreign fruit. Brought in by traders. Locked away for emperors. Released to the public. Then taken apart and rebuilt 300 different ways. Just a strawberry. But also, somehow, not. 🍓

@haoLink @Gearstation_ Yeah I'm in the middle. It's fine to like or dislike the new designs but, fanservice has always been part of Neptunia (even with Rom/Ram). I also understand platform regulations are not the fault of IF/CH so I will be buying the game to support them. Besides I'm too attached now.

@Gearstation_ It is similar for me. I also know people - artists especially - who are very conflicted over the entire thing. Loving the new designs but hating the reason why they were made (in case it's really platform regulations).

Also just know I dont take this stuff lightly, there are people i like on both sides and it pains me to say this stuff in front of them but I just cant in good conscience support that mindset so im sorry to those people

In the mid-90's, certain members of federal congress in the USA were trying to ban or heavily regulate shooters, for being too violent. Meanwhile, we created magazine ads that poked fun at their efforts.

So I finally got into another trading card game that's not Yugioh. Started collecting weiss schwarz cards. Which is cool because they do all sorts of IP, I started with their Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest set and got several cards I was really happy with. Here's some of them!

@GoddessCatto I have some Blue Archive Weiss cards, pulled a signed one out of my first pack too, it was Wakamo. I also have some Japanese Weiss cards which are the two different signed Nagato (Azur Lane). Though I mostly rotate between Yu-Gi-Oh! and Cardfight Vanguard.

If you're getting called out on misinformation & fearmongering, the ADULT thing to do, is to do some introspection & not double down on your ignorance, like you're actually right! Anime really has become the whipping boy, of a lot of virtue signaling morons, hasn't it?

@LundukeJournal Lunduke Shut up and stay in your lane. Anime and loli fans have more nuance and ideas about this sub-culture than your "everything is peodphilia" mindset. This type of thing has existed for decades, even before the internet. You just hopped onto the bandwagon of hate.
