sometimes I get the desire to learn japanese after seeing the language and culture, but when I remember how insanely difficult and tedious learning it is I don't even attempt to try. It is somewhat annoying, I think learning and knowing japanese would be very fun, but it's just too monumental of a task. Maybe if I were a NEET and turboweeb it'd be worth it, but besides that it's just too much of a time sink that takes too long with too much effort. Kanji is really the main issue too, I couldn't imagine needing to learn the rules, just to learn that the rules apply to like 40% of kanji, then needing to learn multiple kanji for the same word, and needing to learn every word at least twice for kanji.

I don't care who wins, I just want an irl anthro wife asap
