People out here whining about yet another mayo man on YT supporting white supremacy, as if he's the only j-vlogger who teaches Japanese/J-culture. 😂

There are so many fantastic YouTubers here who don't do this.

Here are some recs.

1. Kemushi Chan

She already has you covered.

2. Kurly in Kansai. They also organized the BLM march in Kansai.

3. Layers of Jenn (used to be "osharegirl"). She posts videos about her life here and does a lot of neat stuff. Also unproblematic.
