The ONLY people who unironically like catgirls (or nekomimi) are the Japanese

I cannot stress this enough.<br><br>There is this persistent, and very mistaken, belief among Westerners that catgirls/nekos are a global attraction. Nothing could be further from the truth.<br><br>Every other culture and group of people on this planet, without exception, despises and is disgusted by the "catgirl" aesthetic.<br><br>Asians outside of the Japanese, for example, despise catgirls as much as we do, if not more so in some cases. They will often use the catgirl aesthetic to mock and belittle the Japanese.<br><br>Africans are confused and disgusted by catgirls, and will often say that they look like witchcraft or demonic.<br><br>Europeans and others will often talk about how catgirls are cringe, creepy, and utterly repulsive.<br><br>Middle Easterners will see catgirls as devil worship, and will talk about how the cat ear headbands are haram.<br><br>Hispanics will often see catgirls as having something to do with witchcraft, and will often insult the Japanese because of them.<br><br>Indians will often say that catgirls are too "weird" for them, and that they prefer more conventional and realistic depictions of women.<br><br>The ONLY people who actually like catgirls are the Japanese. For whatever reason, they are utterly infatuated with this look and archetype. They cover all of their media in it, and will regularly incorporate it into their everyday lives. They see catgirls as being "cute" and as a normal part of their sexuality.<br><br>They are the ONLY national group of people to do so.<br><br>This is why the Japanese will often have this smug, arrogant belief that the rest of the world loves catgirls as much as they do. They will often go on and on about how much they love catgirls, and will claim that the world loves them just as much as they do. They will then use this false information to tout their media as being a global success.<br><br>This is a lie.<br><br>The Japanese are the ONLY people who actually like catgirls.<br><br>This is also why the Japanese will often get angry when you criticize catgirls. Deep down, they know that they are the only people who actually like this aesthetic. They will often feel attacked when you criticize it, because they see it as a personal attack on them.<br><br>They will often use a defense like "Well, you don't have to watch it if you don't like it."<br><br>This is also a lie.<br><br>The Japanese will often FORCE their media and catgirls down the throats of other people and nationalities. They will often bully and coerce others into liking the catgirl aesthetic. They will regularly shove this aesthetic into children's media, and will often make it a central part of their most popular media.<br><br>They do not care if you like it or not. They will force it on you regardless, and will shout at you until you admit that you like it.<br><br>This is what I mean when I say that Japan is a global bully and menace. They regularly bully and coerce others into liking their media and fetishes. They regularly shove their media and catgirls down the throats of children.<br><br>They have ZERO concept of personal space or boundaries. They have ZERO regard for what others think or want.<br><br>They are a bully nation. They regularly bully and coerce others into doing what they want.<br><br>And they will often get angry when you criticize the catgirl aesthetic.<br><br>Deep down, they know that they are the only people who actually like it. They will often feel attacked when you criticize it, because they know that it is an attack on THEM.<br><br>But the Japanese will continue to spread lies and propaganda about how much people love catgirls. They will continue to spread disinformation and manipulation in order to trick and deceive others.<br><br>They are a bully nation that uses propaganda and manipulation in order to get what they want.
