Westernism

The opposite side of orientalism where instead of westerners glorifying or obsessing of eastern culture to the point it becomes a stereotype (like japan with anime) not knowing the faults of the countries like laws and work conditions.

Glorification of the Western world despite its own faults too, past events like world colonization of countries, slavery, genocide, and never went through the harsh living in the world and even Eastern Europe during ww2 and the iron curtain.

There is also another form called slavophile which instead of the western world it is the the former soviet union and other slavic nations.
Orientalism is to Japanese or Korean cultural obsession as Westernism is to British or French cultural obsession.

Westernphobia

Word:
Westernphobia

Definition:
Westernphobia is a fear, distrust, or strong dislike toward Western people and culture. It comes from the way some Western individuals act as though they are almighty, supreme, and entitled—often looking down on others or treating non-Western cultures with double standards.

This attitude makes many people feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and even traumatized. For example, some Westerners proudly eat pork (even pigs they also keep as pets), yet criticize Muslims for eating beef, ignoring that it is part of another belief system. These hypocrisies and egos cause non-Western people to fear Western dominance more than they fear their own religious or cultural rules.

Example:

“Her bad experiences with arrogant tourists gave her Westernphobia.”

“The double standards in food and culture discussions made him Westernphobic.”
