Shinzo Abe must be spinning in his grave knowing people are out here trying to understand anglo memes instead of having sex

the funniest thing about these memes is i’m like 90% sure abe wasn’t even that big on the birth rate thing, or at least not in the way that he was portrayed in all these memes

like, he was a conservative politician so i’m sure it bugged him but i don’t think he was connected to any of the big things that the memes ascribed to him

Modern politicians are cowards, he should’ve had FDR style fireside chats encouraging people to fuck.

In most of Europe we do have a similar internet culture. Although, Hexbear is quite US centered

The European internet culture is people who are fluent in English hanging out on the Anglo internet and then doing the same things as there two years later.

honestly it’s probably a good thing that japanese people see as little of what english speaking twitter users say about them as possible

If it’s specifically the scene where the white doctor is throwing a tantrum and the Asian doctor is sitting in a chair barely reacting, I can see how that can be a meme for when the west throws a tantrum

Coincidentally I was talking to one of my Chinese doctor friends who works in the West and she said that basicly the same thing happened to her but with a Neurotypical colleague. To quote her: “He’s not doing that because he’s autistic. Hes doing that because he’s white.”

I feel like something about that guy’s performance in Good Doctor should be punishable by law but maybe I’m a self hating autistic

Because the actor’s prbly screwed up his job or he intentionally type-cased the protagonist, “the Good Doctor”, as ebil or unintentionally malicious for some reason…

I think it’s gotta do with that episode with the autistic patient character…
