japan has shitlording down to a science, and it is applied to any negative or unhealthy things.

You look skinny.

you shouldn't eat so many chips, you are getting squishy,

you sure did grow a beard there... isn't it itchy? wouldn't you rather shave it?

everyone is pretty on point with their appearance here, because you get called out for being lazy.

edit: I've had friends who frequent the same convenience store be told by the workers there that they shouldn't buy so many snacks because it's unhealthy. these were American friends and they took it very harshly, though really the workers were just putting the team on they back.

Oh this is glorious. Rather than yelling you're beautiful to the tubs of blubber

It really is amazing there. Not being fat is just encoded into the lifestyle. I was there for two weeks and walked about 8-12 miles a day, ended up losing like 10 pounds on vacation. The only fat Japanese person I saw was a freaking Sumo wrestler. In hindsight that trip was probably the catalyst for me going full shitlord. No regrets. I can't wait to go back.

It would probably be a news story if an employer or someone like that called a ham a ham here. Thanks a lot UK. Honestly, reading that makes me want to make myself self look as good as I can and then take a trip to Japan to receive some cold hard shitlord critique. Here there's no incentive to be more than "good" cause no one expects you to be "excellent" fitness/health wise.
