Seeing Poland Ball on this makes me wonder exactly what kind of sample of people they polled. Is this all redditors?
I wonder why my country Austria has the musical label
Maybe it’s referring to the musical, The Sound Of Music?

Germany’s stereotype of Japanese is that they raped straighted through China.
"Love Japan " not represented in France wtf? We consume the most Japan media after the Japan itself :)
Even ignoring media consumption, we have a ton of deluded Japan stans too
France is full of weebs??
They created the original weeb word in the 1800s, Japonisme
France is full of weeb?
Oh boy you have no idea , we had huge access to manga and anime since before the USA and that influenced a part of our pop culture since the 80s.
Fascinating!
Whe host one of the biggest Japanese culture convention every year.
Especially during and just following the bubble economy in Japan, a lot of people would go to France and get completely shocked. They largely went to Paris and we’re shocked that it was not romance, fantasy, and love, but regular Parisians. There is a word in japanese パリ病 (Paris sickness) to describe the disillusionment of it all.
For some reason, pretty much nobody knows that except the French, lol. I only know it because of Polandball.
Source, out of curiosity as a long-time foreign resident of Japan?
Source: trust me bro
As someone who’s lived in Japan roughly a decade, Finland would either be Santa or aurora based on everyone I’ve talked to. There are plenty of stereotypes (some of which are accurate in my mind), but this map seems a bit weird
As a person who is Swiss and has lived a while in Japan, everyone says “Heidi”. I think Heidi/the alps is the biggest stereotype of Switzerland to japanese people, not banking.
What’s “Heidi”? I need to ask my wife about this one. Is the pronunciation like German on this word for reference?
It’s a swiss story about a little girl who lives and herds cows in the alpine pastures.
And it got turned into a really popular japanese kids anime.

Yeah the pronunciation is german but Japanese people tend to pronounce it Haiji ハイジ.
Thanks for responding. I’ll check it out tomorrow (and ask my wife if she’s heard of it)
Edit: after clicking the link, I have definitely seen the image wiki uses several times
Is “killed jews” really a stereotype of it’s true?
It’s just a way of deflecting the subject of Unit
271731.Edit: They really should have named that something easier to remember, like “Crimes against humanity unit” or something.
Suffice to say that they scared the nazi officials that visited the facility with just how grotesque and cruel their treatment of Chinese civilians was.
Hungary doesn’t exist
Well, at least we’ve got something better than vodka lmao
As a person living in one of the displayed countries I can confirm the accuracy regarding said country in this map which may or may not be fake.
