(image description: a tweet with the following text:
A child is polite: wow! such a good kid
A child is polite (China): the Chinese are taught from a young age that any individuality will be punished.
A child is polite (Japan): This can be explained by the Shinto concept of ゲイのセクシ, a word untranslateable into English,
end description)
For the record, 1. “ゲイのセクシ” (gei no sekushi) is Google Translate screwing up “gay sex” apparently (and the author of the tweet was very sleep-deprived when they made this)
and 2. that was in response to this:

I remember during the Olympics, the western media reported that all Chinese athletes have no freedom and train like machines every day, however, in reality the athletes themselves say that there is a limit to the amount of time they can exercise. Coaches don’t allow them to work out for long periods of time because excessive exercise can damage their bodies, and Chinese athletes will still go around chilling and have fun, not much different from college students.
