The Japanese Act Discourse

I don’t know what to title this, man. I’ve seen a TON of people rag on Akira and most recently a post on “Who’s Worst” that had all Japanese acts on there. Granted I haven’t seen the other acts mentioned, but I find it real interesting the reactions people are having to them.

Japanese humor is very much in the style of Akira and the other Japanese comedy/variety acts that have come onto AGT. It’s for sure a culture thing, and I say this as someone with a Japanese dad who I watch the show with. I’ve asked him why the Japanese variety acts are like that, and his response was that it’s the kind of humor Japanese people are raised on and find hilarious. Akira’s the winner of a Japanese comedy show!!

This isn’t a “YOU’RE BEING RACIST” post, people can have opinions on what sucks and what doesn’t. I just thought it was interesting seeing the reactions of people who never grew up with this content as their childhood.
