DA yeah I don't think learning Japanese belongs on this list lol. But your point about it being subjective is very true. I am from another Asian culture and if a random white westerner did all that with my culture I wouldn't really care. It's not hurting me or the people back home, and I have met plenty of people with a particular fascination for my culture who are cool about it. I actually really like when that happens bc it helps me feel proud of my culture. But if someone tried to profit off of my culture in a way that exploited my people, or was only interested in it in a condescending or clinical way or something, that would be a problem.
