as someone who teaching himself Japanese, learning about Japanese culture & history and for the most part have mostly positive experiences with Japanese people.
I got a few thoughts on the subject when it comes to the Japanese.
aside from the topic of I find Japanese women hot.

on the topic of being an foreigner in japan, and this goes for other east Asian counties as well
you would be quite suspired by the account of opportunities you would get for sex if you went to some of these places as a foreigner, I known guys who lived in japan, china or korea
who during there stay where just fucken bitch's on a daily basis and keep in mind most of these guys weren't exactly what we would call chads or alpha.
however if you want to date or have an actual relationship, this is where things get tricky.
Because first you have the cultural differences, which in some cases can be quite the hurdle, depending on various factors such as county, religion or just personality
then you have to get over the exotic factor and find women who like/love for you as a person, and not just because your exotic and different.
and one of the finial hurdles to how do you overcome the stereotype, because japan is collectivist and people are going to have a impression on you based on where your from, this could be good or bad for many reasons. if you can overcome all that you might find yourself a nice girlfriend or wife.

Better be careful foreigners you're inviting, look how badly migration turned Europe into a shithole.

And do take into account that not all foreigners are going to adept, and that most will turn your society into a broken version of theirs.

What do you think about "otaku" in Japan?

when it comes to the current otaku scene & culture I don't know much about whets going on, because I don't have many feelers in that area of japan
however I do know a little but about the culture and a bit of its early days.

the otaku culture in its hay day was a counter culture that was going ageist & rejecting the Japanese salaryman life style, which in there defence was pretty toxic.
because the otaku where the people who dared to dream of a brighter tomorrow & who where crazy enough and willing to do it for there dreams.
instead of being grinded down in the corporate machine.
if you watch otaku no video or other otaku works during the 70s-90s, it give you a lot of insight into the culture and value system.
because the otaku Contrary to popular belief don't reject all "traditional" values it just they want to have there hobbies, there passions and to have dreams again.

when it comes to otaku works during the early to late 2000s I am seeing this lack of hope and this bitterness set in, that the era of dreams is dead and all that's left is the last survivors who are holding down the last ember of hope. when it comes to current day otaku & where the culture is I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the otaku scene is dead or on its last legs

if you got Autism or any Special needs I have heard from some people who have worked in japan as teachers have sied that japan is a little behind in this regard in some ways

Well, I think so.
Some point is good better than Japan.
If you was born as a ASD in Japan.
It's very hard (but life of barrier is hard,usually.)
We have "feeling around mood of Japanese group" culture.
We calld "空気を読む(くうきをよむ) <kuuki wo yomu> = " Unspoken rules "

And also, 建前(たてまえ) <tatemae>,本音(ほんね) <hon ne> is similar culture.
Most of Japanese don't say to own opinion.
But, I think that situation is same to other country (the u.s. ,England, other country)
We having the sensitive word and sensitive topic.
For example, we don't say "Bless you " in Japan.
like that? I'm not sure.

Well, we otfen tired about this culture but I feeling about good and point.
Good point is don't make fight.
Bad point is can't make independent mind.
That's all.

建前 = public stance

本音 = private opinion

is 2chan really as bad as people say it is?

I'm not sure about 2 chan but in my impression, it's not good.
Mostly threads are stupid and ridiculous.
For example, We had a murder crime
from 2 chan.
Do you know akihabara stab murder?
That accident was happend from 2 chan.
But, it's not make a sence for reason.
Basically, I guess 2ch don't have people of kindness.(but,mostly other sns are same )
But, most of Japanese people are don't know about 2ch therefore impression of some Japanese are "weird" to that bbs.
That's all.

My impression (granted, this is word of mouth via /jp/ threads) of the Akihabara truck attacks is that it straight up kneecapped the place as a cultural hub for Otaku.
