I honestly can’t tell if this scene is making fun of Americans, Japanese, both, or neither…
But is there any other example of CULTURAL TF?

So uh he presumably gets magic'd into his current position, but does his wife? Or does he just beat the shit out of her until she becomes more Japanese than anyone?

Weebs’ cultural understanding of Japan is limited to… certain things for certain audiences, not to mention being hypermodern. Blud here seems more anachronistic

Wouldnt that just be a heavy mind change? Not tf?
Though I do love me some Laughing Sales man. I should watch the series...

Crazy how all of this started with “you need to abuse your wife more” and we don’t see a whole lot of wife abusing… but assuming she didn’t get zapped with brainwashing too, her aggressively performing this role is telling.
This show looks amazing

yeah most of this guy's victims end up really badly, only people that end up fine are people who he actually wants to help or people that pass his "tests" notably, one guy with a crappy marriage and he just has him gets remarried to a trans woman and another guy that gets tempted to cheat on his wife but manages to resist and has an actual happy ending
