Foreign female hams REEEEEE's about Japan's attitude towards them https://archive.is/JDzhZ Some select quotes: “It disturbs me that overweight Japanese TV personalities are often made fun of and sometimes quite cruelly mocked for their weight. Just last night I watched a TV show where an overweight tarento (TV personality) had the chance to teach a kindergarten class. The kids made fun of her weight, pulled her skirt down and even punched her in the stomach, all in the name of ‘comedy,’ ” said a European woman in her 30s. More than 75 percent of the women have put up with unsolicited comments from people they know about their body or weight. A woman in her 20s from Oceania expressed her frustration at annual company medicals. “I work out almost daily, but because I have a lot of muscle and a larger frame, I get called out because my BMI is ‘too high’. Yet Japanese colleagues who never exercise slip through,” she says. “To this day, I still feel like I’m ugly, disgusting and worthless. Yes, I’ve mostly recovered, though I feel I’ll always struggle, but I long for my home country, where I know I would be overwhelmingly average-sized instead of feeling like some big round monstrosity” “My in-laws will comment on the size of my kids. Just the other day she asked my 3-year-old how many babies she has in her tummy!” says a mother in her 30s.
