>>8578543To condense a whole lot of niggly East Asian media politics, A Certain Party to the West, which generally dictates American media (New York Times, mainly) reactions and thus those of the rest of the world at large, would actually be happy and encourage/protect the phenomenon if it was still considered blackface (which it isn't, neither by current gyaru or even most SJWs).
It's more likely to be crushed by imaginary sexism and racism accusations if it turns out to be a positive activating force for Japanese youth, which actually often happens with subcultures that glorify earning money (because it forces them to interact with society).
A certain Mrs. Park is going to be very content if Japanese youths are actively imitating American blacks, and Fuji TV/Asahi/Yomiuri (in True Nipponese, 蛆テレビ、赤日、国売り) are going to be put to work to make the phenomenon trendy and make a senseless VTR variety show with Watanabe Naomi as the MC. Horipro will be booked full. That dire praying mantis at the top will laugh. Softbank will put these gyaru speaking English with American rappers in every ad.
However, if it turns out to up the childbirth rate and get young Japanese women employed, the Ones Beyond the Strait will fabyon so hard we might see the peninsula scorched off the surface of the Earth.
