is buying japanese candies and products racist? i know this doesnt really matter (as in it wont change the answer to the question) but im trying to learn more about the hisotry of japan and am trying my best to amplifie the voices of japanese people and other poc. i really appreciate this blog btw

oh and also when i say “other products” i just mean things like japanese toys, plushies, figurines or mugs usually. sorry for not being more specific earlier

No it’s not but also buying Japanese goods doesn’t help amplify the voices of Japanese people. Especially if you’re doing weeaboo things with them.

Yes it’s fine but please don’t make a big deal of it. Skincare is skincare.

I’m sure you already know the answer to this, but ofc being a fan of a fictional character is completely acceptable and in itself is not an indication of someone being a weeaboo. That being said, they are not mutually exclusive either.
