Do weebs know who Shinzo Abe is? I always assumed they only knew Japan from pop culture and nearly nothing about its politics beyond ww2.
One of the biggest running jokes in weebdom is Shinzo Abe covertly using messages in anime and manga to try to raise the birthrate
Wtf I'm glad I'm not that well versed in Weebdom
There was a camping anime some years ago that was sponsored by a group of camping and outdoors sites in Japan, and it was a pretty big hit. They even saw an uptick in campers, especially first-timers, after the show started airing.
This was also a period where there was a weird amount of anime that had, like, newlywed couples and couples with young kids, slice of life stuff. People put two and two together and started making jokes about the Japanese government covertly sponsoring anime studios to adapt material that depicted a positive image of family life to encourage people to have kids. Abe, being the Prime Minister at the time, had his face plastered all over the memes about it.
They don't really know about its politics, but Abe was a longtime fixture in Japanese society and got endless little "cameos" (usually with an altered name) in various manga that both liked and disliked him, and those that were neutral but just wanted a "the Prime Minister commented this morning about yesterday's mass-death incident" scene or something like that.
Teen-me knew he was called ワンワンちゃん (little woof woof) because he was seen as Bush's lapdog lol.
Edit: maybe this wasn't a thing and was just something the Japanese kids I knew called him lmao.
