Still, I agree that it doesn't make the song any less cringeworthy but "cringeworthy to my ears because I know better" doesn't automatically equal weeaboo or cultural appropriation the way a lot of people on tumblr insist. Some people are just really bad at pronouncing foreign languages.

Oh I agree 100%
I have no problems with the song in that way.
Still cringeworthy and an annoyance for perpetuation of stereotypes.

And I agree as well when you say this is a problem not limited to Japan.

Still, I feel the lack of awareness about how the foreign stereotypes (black-face, white-face, automatic katakana subtitles, etc., etc.) could be offensive to foreigners is a problem.

That being said... over the last 12 years being here, the amount of Japanese fluent foreigners being seen on TV in a positive way has increased a whole lot, too.

Man, at this point it probably sounds like I am just blowing hot air.

And on a daily basis, this is something that I could really care less about... sorry to use you as a sort of reflecting board in my comment, ahaha. Maybe I have been looking at the butt-hurt "microaggression" threads on reddit too much.

tl;dr. Avril is just doing what she needs to do to make money. Annoying to some expats, but other than that who cares?
