Is this not correct?
Portugal is kind of mean…
Yes. Portugal is unforgivably dismissive.

how old is this? financial collapse for Greece, really?
Source, out of curiosity as a long-time foreign resident of Japan?
Source: trust me bro
I don’t care how they got their data, I just love that they ended up with this:
As someone who’s lived in Japan roughly a decade, Finland would either be Santa or aurora based on everyone I’ve talked to. There are plenty of stereotypes (some of which are accurate in my mind), but this map seems a bit weird
The usual reaction to me mentioning that I’m from Latvia here is: “Where? and where is that on the map?”
As a person who is Swiss and has lived a while in Japan, everyone says “Heidi”. I think Heidi/the alps is the biggest stereotype of Switzerland to japanese people, not banking.
What’s “Heidi”? I need to ask my wife about this one. Is the pronunciation like German on this word for reference?
It’s a swiss story about a little girl who lives and herds cows in the alpine pastures.
And it got turned into a really popular japanese kids anime.

Yeah the pronunciation is german but Japanese people tend to pronounce it Haiji ハイジ.
Thanks for responding. I’ll check it out tomorrow (and ask my wife if she’s heard of it)
Edit: after clicking the link, I have definitely seen the image wiki uses several times
Same here, but I’ve noticed that, at least from my circle here, people don’t know too much about countries in Europe. Not that they really should, I guess. I’m from the Czech Republic, and usually I should point it on a map for people to understand better where it is.
"Love Japan " not represented in France wtf? We consume the most Japan media after the Japan itself :)
Do you know why that is? I never really thought about that, but as a child, before i knew what anime or manga is, we went to france a lot on vacation. Back then the only anime i knew was heidi and drangonball, and that was before the frieza saga even aired. But there, kids my age had dbz video games, a ton of mangas and anime. I bought some mangas and was blown away to read the story where golu goes super saiyan.
And even now, i deadass wouldn’t know where i would buy a manga, but if i cross the french border and go to a normal supermarket, they have a whole isle just manga.
The biggest tvshow aimed for kids switched from French cartoon to anime because it was cheaper ,so it influenced a lot the kids and our pop culture. That s one big reason , there are surely other factors but I don’t know them.
How slim of you.
France is full of weebs??
France is full of weeb?
Oh boy you have no idea , we had huge access to manga and anime since before the USA and that influenced a part of our pop culture since the 80s.
I was told by my parents(boomers/Gen X) that cartoons airing on Italian TV in the 1980s were anime. Dubbed and with a custom intro, sure, but anime.
That’s possible I know that Spain had sometimes been ahead of France for dragonball arc. But i m a gen z I just heard that , i could be wrong
Fascinating!
Whe host one of the biggest Japanese culture convention every year.
They created the original weeb word in the 1800s, Japonisme
Especially during and just following the bubble economy in Japan, a lot of people would go to France and get completely shocked. They largely went to Paris and we’re shocked that it was not romance, fantasy, and love, but regular Parisians. There is a word in japanese パリ病 (Paris sickness) to describe the disillusionment of it all.
For some reason, pretty much nobody knows that except the French, lol. I only know it because of Polandball.
Even ignoring media consumption, we have a ton of deluded Japan stans too
Seeing Poland Ball on this makes me wonder exactly what kind of sample of people they polled. Is this all redditors?
I googled poland ball and immediately thought that that chart is just a reddit sample then
Germany’s stereotype of Japanese is that they raped straighted through China.
I don’t think so tbh. Japan did a lot of horrendous things back then, but it’s still not nearly as infamous as Nazi Germany at that time. The only time I hear or see any mention of that is usually when someone praises anything Japanese and the other person wants to show how extremely highly educated they are by noting that Japan did something terrible more than half a century ago.
America downplayed it because it launched straight into the Cold War alliance propaganda and remembering it would be inconvenient while trying to build alliances against China and Russia.
I don’t know what Germany teaches about the invasion of China and the occupation of Korea and the Pacific islands, but I can certainly see why both East and West Germany would teach it in school.
If I remember correctly it was mentioned when we were talking about warcrimes and the war in the Pacific but obviously never to the extent of what happened in Europe.
Is “killed jews” really a stereotype of it’s true?
It’s just a way of deflecting the subject of Unit
271731.Edit: They really should have named that something easier to remember, like “Crimes against humanity unit” or something.
Suffice to say that they scared the nazi officials that visited the facility with just how grotesque and cruel their treatment of Chinese civilians was.
Hungary doesn’t exist
If only.
Goddamn Serbs.
Well, at least we’ve got something better than vodka lmao
As a person living in one of the displayed countries I can confirm the accuracy regarding said country in this map which may or may not be fake.
I like that all the lesser known Balkan countries just get “proud”.
But it’s also true
I wonder why my country Austria has the musical label
Mozart, Schubert, Hayden, Strauss…
Maybe it’s referring to the musical, The Sound Of Music?
