Tofugu Comments: 2Chanerized Characters Part 2: Mickey Mouse & Hello Kitty

  • lawnmowerlatte · 12 months ago
    Wow these past two articles have been so disturbing/awesome! I'm looking forward to more!

    Quick question: why is blood type such a vital statistic among Japanese? I first noticed it on Mixi and then I noticed it's on Hello Kitty's profile. I personally have no idea what blood type I am, is it a big deal in Japan?

    P.S. - I LOVE the Tofugu RSS logo.

    I'm not sure why blood type is so important... It's just one of those things. Part of it is because there's be belief that blood type dictates personality / creativity / work ethic, etc. I'm not exactly sure of all the different blood types and what they mean, but here's what Wikipedia says:

    Type A
    Best Traits: Earnest, creative, sensible.
    Worst Traits: Fastidious, overearnest.

    Type B
    Best Traits: Wild, a doer, cheerful.
    Worst Traits: Selfish, irresponsible.

    Type AB
    Best Traits: Cool, controlled, rational.
    Worst Traits: Critical, indecisive.

    Type O
    Best Traits: Agreeable, sociable, an optimist
    Worst Traits: Vain, careless.

    I'm going to go with the 'That's bull' response.

    I personally think I'm more of an AB but have Type O blood. Or is thinking I have AB's qualities Vain...? Oh crap, That's supposedly one of my worst traits :(

    Type O is the "lazy but sociable type" haha.

    I'm Type A, and I think it fits pretty well :)
    Definitely kind of fastidious.

    Japan is secretly a cattle society. Bred for the very purpose to feed the vampires. This is the sole reason they are a homogeneous society. The vampires won't allow the best pure breed for blood to be tainted by outsiders. The blood types is sort of like flavoring/quality, just like wine. Through generations of mental conditioning, the vampires tricked the Japanese into openly advertising their blood types. It makes it easier for them to sort out the population.

    Sometimes I wonder what you search in google Koichi.

    Although I have to say that I giggled at the first Hwllo Kity one~

    They might be "two of the most well known mascots in the world" but I think I would rather enjoy domo-kun parodies ^_^

    It gives your kitty its very own space to diamond kitty rest and relax. Cat beds are another nice sleeping option as well.
