Re:Amae: Japan’s deep connection to childish relationships by SpicyLemonZest on Monday December 16, 2019 @11:20AM (#21804137)
Some people do overcorrect and push back on any claim that something could be unique or interesting about Japan. But I think it’s right to maintain intense skepticism of anyone saying “oh, this Japanese term is very deep and complex, learning about it will explain so much”. Psychology professors are good at drawing lines between behavior, but would the average Japanese person actually identify Jerry Seinfeld using someone else’s refrigerator as amae?
