Who?
- TSOTE
- I'm the guy that created the Akira Toriyama Super Database, as well as the .Hack-oriented Helba Gata. Back in the 1990's, I lived in Japan for 2 years, working as a video game programmer and as a technical writer for Hitachi. After returning to the States and living in Texas for 10 years, I've decided to try living in Japan again. I'm interested in various manga, and to a lesser extent various anime. I'm also studying nihon-go.

What is the current state of "Japanese only" as a cultural practice? The last I read about it was in the context of Debito Arudou's civil disobedience protests, but that was in the late 90s when the world was (arguably) a lot less open. Is it still very much a thing?
Actually, I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything on the subject outside of Debito's articles. There was one article he wrote somewhere around 2012 that got the Japanese people I knew pretty outraged for being "an entitled outsider". His combative writing style didn't make him friends.
The only "members-only" (all members are Japanese) thing I've run into has been at strip clubs.
