Get the Japan and South Korea mug.The country where all kinds of anime and video games originate from, it’s also infamous for its overwork culture. Many Internet personalities like to travel there, and ultimately end up disrespecting local culture and customs, if not just straight up committing crimes for content at times.

Get the Japan mug.Hym "Japan had it right. It doesn't shut off until the creator/inventor is credited and paid. It isn't extortion for you to try to steal something and be unable to do that. I'm not manifesting it or just saying things I want to be true. When I say something is the case or that something true, I'm not just doing mental gymnastics to try and legal-loophole God."
