      he did raise a very valid point though. when using words like that’s cool you do impose that standard onto others and without consent. That might sound a bit much but the point being if you’re gonna say that then also be ready to defend that point. Ppl dont always like to be seen as “cool” when they’d rather just be appreciated. Also some of these terms aren’t supposed to be “cool”, theyre about respect or clarity. Also in Japan you’re supposed to turn down compliments anyways

      someone who is incredibly nervous and used to internet/ more casual etiquette. if joey was interviewing a baseball player or like a professional esports player and it was over discord or something then his etiquette would be considered just kinda nervous but perfectly fine. you gotta remember this is way out of his comfort zone and tyson was being incredibly understanding whilst also not sparing the rod when it came to correcting joey. the fact that he was willing to put up with so many etiquette faux pas really shows how he understood that this was not joey's comfort zone and was willing to help him find that correct middle ground as long as joey was willing to own up to his mistakes and make the effort to listen to the corrections.

And he was not asking for anything that was out of the ordinary. He introduced himself with his full name, Joey didn't. He kept an open, inviting body language, Joey decided to cross his arms mid conversation. Joey tried to flex with some 'Yakuza language lingo' knowledge, and the dude reminded him that he doesn't know shit about their encoded language. Joey made statements along the lines of 'You're not that scary', and he got checked for that aswell.

      It was a pretty significant blunder, one the guy didn't appreciate. Your ability to strike fear and intimidate others is basically your first line of defense when you're dealing in less savory circles. That's why his instant response was 'Would you like me to scare you?', just to drive the message home he's not dealing with an ordinary citizen. There wasn't much missing, if Joey laughed a bit too confidently or seemed truly like 'hey man, this guy ain't that scary at all', I'm pretty sure the Yakuza dude would've taken him for a short trip down memory lane.

      I think that part was kind of a dumb statment, even if i get the point.
      I mean, it's obvious that a Yakuza can be as normal as a common man if he doesn't want to have trouble or keep a low profile.
      Then again, it's intresting how there ARE some crazy one has the guy stated that would punch whoever they want if they get the chance to, so in the end it was a nice point.

To be fair, I'd be intimidated as well. I wouldn't show any current or former gang member any sort of ID, whether Eastern Yakuza or Western Gangs/Mafia. No thanks, you don't need to know me lol

      Yakuza are not really a mafia or gang or cartel in the sense of any others in the world. Be it Hacienda, MS-13, Italian families, Triads. They have vastly more dignity and respect. Like he said, bend the strong and help the weak. They keep order where the government was or is too lazy to. It's a fucking shame how the government got corrupt as hell and then went hyper-authoritarian to snuff them out. Meanwhile, politicians and businessmen have made themselves rich off corruption. In many ways they seem to be the last holdout of those values that once made Japan great.
      Don't forget, The Hawkers hired the Yakuza because the government couldn't be assed to. So don't you ever lump them in with any other shitbag mafia, cartel, or gang.
