But is there a ridiculous number of Japan-centric things that make it to the front page compared to any other community? Are Japan-centric things discussed on HN more than Reddit, Tumblr, Imgur? Because that was my point; Japan is popular in general, not just popular on HN to the point it’s even worth singling out.

I do not care about other communities. I am discussing HN and the tech community herein and the phenomenon that occurs with Japan worship here.
