Quite simply, females in Japan are trained (subtly but surely) to be passive and “cute,” to look weak and helpless–in need of male aid. Japanese men, in the majority (certainly not all), are attracted to women they can dominate and control, not ones who are strong, aggressive, talk back–or walk away.

What’s normal, natural and/or sexy for Europeans and North Americans–an assertive, confident walk–is not necessarily so elsewhere. Rather, what’s attractive/sexy in Japan is a shuffling gait, with tiny, tight steps–a sort of “I couldn’t run away even if I wanted too, you bad man with dirty thoughts…” Some say this comes from kimono culture, only a century removed now, but it fits in with “kawaii”/powerless complex that dominates the feminine ideal in Japan.

Look closely at that young Japanese girls’ limping walk–every movement is a denial of their own agency. They seem to be moving begrudgingly, almost against their own will, as though bound. Their walk screams “I have nowhere important to go, nothing important to do: take me somewhere, entertain me.”

But we shouldn’t general/nationalize this walk too much. It is a common, contemporary trait, but not ubiquitous. I know plenty of Japanese women who don’t care about looking helpless, who move forward assertively in bold strides. And consider too that 200 years ago, the sexiest walk of all was the elaborate “figure eight” steps of the courtesan in high geta, an elaborate strut that expressed power through willful slowness.

On a seperate note, the japanese girls that walk funny without heels, with the messed up knees…(of course they aint doing any better in heels)… well i always assumed that their family genetics were fucked from the 2 fucking nukes those amerifags needlessly dropped on em.

Alright im finished.

I did do some research. I lived in Korea for one year and only saw a handful of overweight girls. Tonight in Japan at a very small train station I counted 3.

Having lived in Japan and been to Korea, I can say that your conclusions are ridiculous. There is no truth to the idea that Japanese on average are more over weight than Korean women. Body sizes vary all over, and I saw fat omen in Korea as well. If Japanese women have fatter legs than Korean women, it is more likely that it is because in Japan women are more likely to be wearing short skirts all year round than Korean women. The body will add a layer of fat as a means of protection against the cold.

And to say that they are fat because of McDonalds is also crazy, since there are plenty of McDonalds restaurants in Korea, and also more more American restaurant chains in general than can be found in japan. Add to this the fact that at Korean restaurants the portion sizes you receive are about 2 and a half times bigger than at any Japanese restaurant…I think the obvious conclusion would be that Korea women are fatter than Japanese women.

Now to answer the walking funny question. It has nothing to do with the shoes. Japanese women wear high heels just as much as Korean women..ie all the friggin time. I have seen children in high heels. The fact of the matter is that Asians in general, and I think perhaps the Japanese even more so, are more prone than other groups to having pigeon toes and/or clubbed feet. Because it is so prevalent in this country, doctors don’t bother to correct for it in childhood, unlike they do in North America or Europe, where it is much less common.

Next time pull your racist head out of your ass and do some research.
