Calling Summer Lesson "dangerous" is a large enough sign that I don't need to go any deeper...

Don't tell me to stop saying things about you. Tell yourself to stop saying you have knowledge about Japan. I may not have lived in Japan, but I have several Japanese friends who are into the video game culture.

You're clearly not trying to help me.

How is does my opinion on the game have any bearing in my understanding of Japan?

Do I need to repeat myself. The knowledge I have of Japan's culture doesn't forbit me the right to have my own opinion on it. You may disagree with my opinion, but it doesn't make me ignorant of japanese culture.

I may not like sushi, it doesn't mean I don't know what it is.

Because it does. Your (lack) of knowledge of Japan's culture doesn't forbid you from having your opinions about it. However! It forbids you from having a reasonable opinion about it. Meanwhile, everyone else has disagreed with you (me included) have shown your opinions with evidence based on our experiences in Japan and/or with Japanese gamers. Our sources of evidence are primary while yours are merely secondary. The fact you are very adamant about your opinion makes you ignorant.

And the sushi analogy is another one of your strawmans...
