it's all chinese to me
Yes, there is not a single source before the 19th century from that archipelago using the term Japan/Nihon/Nippon as an ethnic name.
It was nothing more than a regional term until the Western-LARPing Meijis used it to name their newly made-up ethnicity.
cus theyre the yamato people not nippon people
Yamato was the name of a made-up family that allegedly ruled over a small plot of land, it's not an ethnic name.
What have you braindead retards aka weebs not lied about yet?
Its used as their ethnic name, why are you so retarded?
Just because you think a bird is a pig doesn't mean it's a pig, you fucking retard
>no argument
lmao
That quite literally is an argument. Meanwhile we haven't seen you make any arguments and substantiate anything. Kill yourself, schizo.
What is it like to be illiterate?
Why are you always projecting, weeb?
why are you always sniffing glue, homosexual?
says the weeb, LUL
are the weebs in the room with us right now?
Demonstrably false. The term is used plenty of times in Heian era writings.
As a regional term, not as an ethnic term. Absolutely hilarious how all of you Weebs are illiterate and moronic.

"The earliest record of 日本 appears in the Chinese Old Book of Tang, which notes the change in 703 when Japanese envoys requested that its name be changed. It is believed that the name change within Japan itself took place sometime between 665 and 703.[4] During the Heian period, 大和 was gradually replaced by 日本, which was first pronounced with the Chinese reading Nippon and later as Nifon, and then in modern usage Nihon, reflecting shifts in phonology in Early Modern Japanese.[1] Marco Polo called Japan 'Cipangu' in circa 1300, based on the Chinese name,[5] probably 日本國; 'sun source country' (compare modern Min Nan pronunciation ji̍t pún kok). In the 16th century Malacca, Portuguese traders first heard from Malay and Indonesian the names Jepang, Jipang, and Jepun.[6] In 1577 it was first recorded in English spelled Giapan.[6] At the end of the 16th century, the Portuguese missionaries came to Japan and created grammars and dictionaries of Middle Japanese. The 1603–1604 dictionary Vocabvlario da Lingoa de Iapam has 2 entries: nifon[7] and iippon.[8] Since then many derived names of Japan appeared on ancient European maps."

It was invented in 2005 with the release of Code Geass.
Is that good? People always recommend it to me
It's fun. Very much a turn your brain off and enjoy kind of show.
>Very much a turn your brain off
This explains why weebs are always dumb, in order to "enjoy" a Japanese anime, you have to shut your brain off and weebs watched so much of it that their brain has been permanently shutdown.
Yeah because western cinema is so good nowadays. Wakanda forever, shitty cringe humor, and special effects, zero substance.
Hollywood isn't the entirety of Western cinema, you disgusting porn addict. Everything you said applies to Japanime. Dog shit story. Cape shit. Slave brainwashing. Beta male protagonists. Child porn. Every girl is dressed like a stripper. Such shit humor that no one has ever laughed at a scene or a meme. So garbage that the only way for Japanime to have someone's attention is to insert porn and 50 animators for one dollar per hour to make one minute scene. Zero substance.
What's a good show or movie then anon
1st season is legitimately entertaining, just don't take it too seriously.
2nd season is a fucking train wreck, but an absolutely absurdly entertaining one at that. They basically fuck everything up but in ways that are so over the top it still ends up being fun.
It's for coomers who like big robot fights. If you're not a coomer into that, you'll hate it.
When you have no one else to compare yourself to there's little reason to academically define yourself as a people.
They were ripping off China for 1500 years before LARPing as Westerners, they used the term Japan as a regional term for the middle part of the archipelago and there were travelers to China who visited Japan.
Additionally, before the 19th century, the archipelago was a little continent with hundreds of ethnic groups and different kingdoms waging war against each other.
>Pretending anything good has ever been made by China
Anon, this is a Sudanese Underwater Toe Scraping Forum. You’re not supposed to tell filthy lies here, just normal lies.
Everyone knows that nothing good has ever been done, made, built, conceived, thought of, constructed or born in China. Ever, no exceptions.
It says a lot about how fake Japan, Korea and China are when they pump billions of dollars into propaganda for their made-up ethnicities and countries and revise their fake history every 1-5 years with contradictory claims and insane claims that there's no evidence for.
Like how China larps as Han who have nothing to do with these Hakkas. Which is the made up Korean ethnicity though?
About 100-200 years earlier than that, it was during the world moving towards a a nationalistic identity. Same with Europe, China, India etc.
The Japanese ethnicity is an artificial one that was made in the 19th century and there are thousand year old national identities that sprung up naturally, you retard
Japs are haplogroup D, not even remotely similar to other Asians.
Haploautism != ancestry.
Why are you bringing up haplogroup when this thread has nothing to do with it and you're also wrong, the Japs have 80% the same haplogroup as the Chinese
Yeah, the archipelago only got constructed in the in the 1950s. The Koreans made it from all the human waste that was flowing out of the Yellow river. That's why so many Japs have scat fetishes.
yes, yes, everything you don't like was invented recently, only leftists know what was there beforehand because their ideology informs them reliably.
also fuck off.
Nigga die
keep crying zhang
Knowing more about Japs made me dislike a lot of their media. I can't really take seriously any of their stories that include sexual violence. They made a lot of movies like that in the 70s and 80s and in the past I thought they have like deeper meaning about society and shit, but after consuming a lot of their media I realized they are just mentally ill coomers.
they were called dwarf people before they were called japanese, bakatachi
>Was the Japanese ethnicity invented in the late 1900s?
"Sort of."
From what I understand absolutely a lot of what we know as the "Japanese" was invented during the Meiji Restoration starting in 1868 and ending in 1889(?) They ended the shogunate, they industrialized, they compiled, formalized, and institutionalized Shintoism into the religion it is today, they restructured their military AND created their government- both by copying/borrowing ideas from other nations on how they had done it.
Now, the reason I said "sort of" is because the Japanese already had an ethnicity to begin with. They didn't invent their hatred of the Chinese and the Koreans, nor all their cultural or religious practices during the Meiji period- they just put it all together and formalized it. Furthermore, everything they did steal or copy from other nations they always made an effort to give it an ethnic coat of paint: both to "make it theirs" and thus more acceptable to the general populous, but also to prevent them from mindlessly aping other's ideas and losing initiative by becoming (for lack of a better term) "globalized".
